Barcelona Ballet, Ángel Corella & Chi Cao: Peralada Festival

О событии

Enjoy the European Premiere of the new coreography by Ángel Corella and the Barcelona Ballet at the Festival Peralada 2012.

Exclusively for the festival audience, the performance includes the participation of renowned Chinese dancer Chi Cao, star of the film Mao's Last Dancer (2009).

The first performance at the Castell de Peralada International Music Festival took place in 1987 and since then it has been held, without exception, during the months of July and August at the historical venue of Castillo de Peralada. In 1992, it became part of the select European Festivals Association (EFA), which underlined it as a high‐quality festival on a par with other important festivals such as Bayreuth, Berlin, Florence and Salzburg. The Castell de Peralada Festival showcases recitals by famous singers, symphony and choir concerts, operas, musical theatre, dance, jazz, pop, chamber music concerts and family‐orientated performances.

The festival actively supports Spanish composers and artists and commissions projects and musical scores with the aim of enriching the cultural variety on offer in Spain. At the same time, soloists and prestigious international ensembles from different artistic fields are invited to take part. This philosophy has allowed Peralada to enjoy a widespread fame and has positioned the festival as one of the most important cultural events in Spain during the summer period.
