Three titles never before presented at La Scala, three acclaimed and influential contemporary authors, a new stylistic test for La Scala’s artists. In Chroma, which explores the drama of the human body and its ability to communicate emotions and deepest thoughts, McGregor’s inventive and energetic choreography which 20 years ago earned him the appointment as resident choreographer at the Royal Ballet. In Dov’è la luna, Jean-Christophe Maillot’s intimate work with its chiaroscuro tones, shakes and extends the vocabulary and technique of classical dance, pushed by the choreographer to its furthest boundaries. To finally explode with the enthralling power of Minus 16, one of the most distinguished manifestos of Ohad Naharin’s originality and his innovative movement language, which bursts into La Scala for the first time bringing dancers to challenge themselves, breaking down the barriers between artist and spectator in an intense and joyful experience for both.

McGregor / Maillot / Naharin

The most sumptuous and dreamlike ballet, almost the “ballet par excellence”: The Sleeping Beauty, when it was first performed in St Petersburg in 1890, saw the development of an exemplary collaboration between choreographer (Petipa), composer (Tchaikovsky), and the director of the Imperial Theatres, Vsevoložskij, who also created the costumes, to present to the Petersburg nobility the fabulous grandeur of the court of King Louis XIV. It was at La Scala that Nureyev entrusted the debut of his Sleeping Beauty in 1966, performing on stage alongside Carla Fracci in a role considered a key ballet in his artistic life. From the original choreography, Nureyev managed to preserve its purity while infusing it with a new theatrical breath, with a complex choreography that revealed the characters’ psychology, the Prince among them. Six years after the previous performances, the production returns in the setting created by Oscar-winning designer Franca Squarciapino for La Scala in 1993, splendid in its exquisite décor and costumes evoking the court of Versailles.
