Ballet of Milan. Two-act ballet “Viva Verdi”

Choreographer:

Agnese Omodei Salè

Music: Giuseppe Verdi

Giuseppe Verdi is Italy’s most famous composer and a true symbol of Italy’s rich musical heritage, whose work has spoken to generations and transcended national borders. Although Verdi never created a full-length ballet, his operas contain a wealth of great dance scenes—from I Vespri Siciliani to Il Trovatore, Otello, Don Carlo, and Macbeth—as well as powerful preludes that are ideal for creating choreography, rhythm, and dramatic expression.

Viva Verdi celebrates the Maestro’s timeless legacy by making his music move, breathe and live expression. Every gesture and every step reflects the exuberant melodies that have made Verdi an immortal composer, highlighting both the extraordinary power of his music and his enduring passion for drama and dance. This production is a tribute to his work, to Italy’s unique cultural identity and to the universal emotions that Verdi’s music evokes in audiences around the world even today.
