From Rota to Morricone. Film music becomes ballet.

Bringing dance to audiences who love it and to those who discover it and might fall in love with it: a gala with the captivating title " La Dolce Vita " that the Milan Ballet , directed by Carlo Pesta , is staging tonight at the Sforza Castle is certainly a fitting fit. The music ranges from Nino Rota to Hans Zimmer, and the ad hoc choreography is by Agnese Omodei Salé and Adriana Mortelliti.

Fellini and his 1960s Rome, Henry Mancini and his "Breakfast at Tiffany's," Oscar-winning Ennio Morricone and Nicola Piovani, as well as many beautiful pieces from film soundtracks, not to mention Shostakovich's Waltz No. 2 and Ravel's "Bolero" from Lelouch of the Reverend Les Uns et les Autres, fuel an evening of dance a feast for the eyes and ears. A messenger of Italian culture and art , the Milan Ballet is meanwhile traveling with "Romeo and Juliet" and "Carmen," two of its most established programs, as far as China and the Republics, ending in "stan," an ideal instrument, "body to body," in worthy projects of connection between peoples.
