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.

Wayne McGregor’s award-winning ballet triptych Woolf Works re-creates the emotions, themes, and fluid style of three of Virginia Woolf’s novels: Mrs. Dalloway, Orlando, and The Waves. With inspiration also enmeshed with elements from her letters, essays, and diaries, Woolf Works expresses the heart of an artistic life driven to discover a freer, uniquely modern realism. It brings to life Woolf’s world of “granite and rainbow”, where human beings are at once both physical body and uncontained essence. Created for The Royal Ballet in 2015, Woolf Works is an ambitious, brave, and thoughtful ballet set to challenge our expectations and take us to exhilarating new places.

Richard Jones’s Olivier Award-winning production of Handel's opera returns with many of the original cast, including Emily D’Angelo as the lovestruck Ruggiero and Lisette Oropesa as the glittering enchantress Alcina.

Alcina

Netia Jones reimagines Mozart’s comedy of manners through a sharp contemporary lens, where 18th-century romantic trickery meets deeply satirical high-tech deceit. Louise Alder, Simone McIntosh, Mingjie Lei and Huw Montague Rendall are the four lovers, with Gerald Finley as their manipulative game-master Don Alfonso and Emily Pogorelc as Despina. Thomas Hengelbrock conducts.

Così fan tutte

Those who remain must find a new way of life. The dystopian future of Margaret Atwood's trilogy of novels comes alive in this multi-sensory three-act epic by Wayne McGregor. Featuring an original score by Max Richter, MADDADDAM sold out its premiere run in 2024.

Maddaddam

While Twyla Tharp was one of the first to unite the classical and modern worlds and whose In the Upper Room celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026, Justin Peck and Wayne McGregor are currently among the most important and sought-after choreographers.

Visionary Dances

Vienna State Opera

A storm of longing. Richard Jones’s intimate, stripped-back staging beautifully realises Janáček’s opera of yearning and destruction, which stars Corinne Winters. Jakub Hrůša draws out the expressive lines of the Czech composer’s score, which is infused with traditional folk melodies of his – and Hrůša’s – home country.

Káťa Kabanová

A triptych of ballets drawn from Virginia Woolf’s landmark novels Mrs Dalloway, Orlando, and The Waves with elements of her letters, essays and diaries, Woolf Works explores the collision of form and substance in Woolf’s writings – a recreation of the vivid, impressionistic qualities of Woolf’s prose, where emotions and sensations take precedence over plot.

Think you know ballet? Think again. This mixed programme features Pam Tanowitz’s Or Forevermore, Joshua Junker’s Never Known, Akram Khan's Hunting a Whisper in the Wind and Wayne McGregor’s Chroma.
