Turangalîla: Festspielhaus Baden‐Baden

Sobre o Evento

“Optimism in dance” – with these words, Deutschlandfunk celebrated the premiere of John Neumeier’s ballet Turangalîla. The symphonic original is a hymn to love whose orchestral dimensions surpass even the symphonies of Mahler. Messiaen’s music absorbs a wide range of influences like a sponge, including Indian rhythms and scales, meticulously‐recorded bird songs, and Christian chorales. To this music Neumeier has created a choreography that largely dispenses with narrative and celebrates pure dance: from the grand pas de deux to classical tours en l’air, in which the dancers leap and spin out of pure joie de vivre. Immerse yourself in the stunning architecture of Baden‐Baden's breathtaking Festspielhaus Baden‐Baden for the ultimate concert set to awake your understanding of ballet.
