Teatro Colón Ballet Performances

Before its presentation along with Paloma Herrera at the Luna Park, the ballet of Teatro Colón, with the artistic direction of Olga Ferri, will offer two performances at Teatro Coliseo of "Les Sylphides", the pas-des-deux from "Don Quixote", and Maurice Ravel´s "Bolero". They will be accompanied by Teatro Colón´s Orchestra, directed by Mario Benzecry.

The first part will be dedicated to Les Sylphides, with choreography by Michael Fokin, on the original pieces for piano by Frederic Chopin. In this "romantic dream", conceived by Fokin in 1908, the poet is surrounded by the immaterial creatures, the "Sylphides".

The performance will end with "Bolero", by Maurice Ravel, with choreography by José Zartmann, with its roots on the Flemish and Spanish gypsies' dances.
