Global dance sensation Roberto Bolle is set to premiere the production, alongside the company’s corps de ballet.
A WORLD premiere and the return of two choreographic works with an unusual source of inspiration. Patrick de Bana signs his first creation for the La Scala’s Ballet Company and its étoiles, navigating the parallels of mythology, culture, perfumes and icons of a Spain filtered through his personal experience.
For this, he will revive the essence of Carmen, passionate heroine, clothed in freedom. On the touching mystery of the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary, a duet one of Angelin Preljocaj’s most emblematic female works focuses on the relationship between spirit and body, inner and outer space, on the upheaval of the Angel’s apparition in the intimate universe of Mary.

From the story of the Amduat and the descent into the underworld of the sun god who, purified, rises to the surface to give life to a new day Philippe Kratz takes his cue for Solitude Sometimes. With the artists he immersed himself in Egyptian mythology for a work abstract in its essence but populated with symbolic figures, catharsis, rebirth, the cycle of life and the resilience of the individual amidst the electronic sounds of Thom Yorke and Radiohead’s electronic sounds.
