Two ballets by Jerome Robbins to be live-streamed from La Scala on 12 November
Works by Jerome Robbins have not been seen at La Scala since 2004, but now he is being celebrated as part of the Balanchine/Robbins Triple Bill which opened on Friday 8 November.
The programme features two of his best-known works, both set to music by Chopin, and both are new for La Scala’s ballet company – Dances at a Gathering and The Concert.
Unfortunately, Balanchine’s Theme and Variations, which opens the evening, will not be transmitted, so the live stream begins at 8.40 pm (CET) on the LaScalaTv platform.
The ballets can be rented for €9.90, or €11.90 for 4K resolution. The video will be available on demand until 19 November 2024.
Dances at a Gathering will feature Nicoletta Manni (Pink), Martina Arduino (Mauve), Alice Mariani (Apricot), Linda Giubelli (Green), Asia Matteazzi (Blue), Claudio Coviello (Brown), Timofej Andrijashenko (Purple), Darius Gramada (Green Boy), Mattia Semperboni (Brick), and Christian Fagetti (Blue Boy)
The main roles for The Concert will be danced by Caterina Bianchi (The Ballerina), Marco Agostino (The Husband), Marta Gerani (The Wife), Alessandro Paoloni (Shy Boy), Antonella Albano (The Angry Lady), Emanuele Cazzato (First Man), Massimo Dalla Mora (Second Man), Rebecca Luca and Martina Marin (2 Matinée Ladies), Andrea Risso (Usher) and the Corps de Ballet of the Teatro alla Scala.
Leonardo Pierdomenico will be at the piano and Fayçal Karoui on the podium conducting the Orchestra of the Teatro alla Scala.
