Arts Minister Leeanne Enoch said Italy’s illustrious Teatro alla Scala Ballet Company would come to perform only in Brisbane for the company’s first ever Australian visit in its 240-year history.
“Regional Queensland will also have an opportunity to see Teatro alla Scala Ballet Company,” Ms Enoch said.
“Communities from Mount Isa to Maryborough will be able to witness Teatro alla Scala Ballet Company’s Don Quixote on Saturday November 10 through the Live from The Lyric Queensland simulcast.
“Teatro alla Scala has a long history of working with the world’s best dancers, choreographers and creatives and to have 75 dancers from the company come to perform only in Queensland for its first ever Australian season is a massive coup,” she said.
Rudolf Nureyev’s Don Quixote is one of the true signature pieces of the ballet company and will showcase sparkling choreography and virtuoso performances.
Based on episodes of Cervantes’ classic novel and set to Ludwig Minkus’ magical score, audiences will be transported to a bright and enchanting Spain replete with gypsy dances, fandangos, matadors and windmills.
