From the Maryinsky of Saint Petersburg to the Municipal Theatres of Saõ Paolo and Rio de Janeiro, the Baden-Baden Festspielhaus to the National Auditorium of Mexico City: with George Balanchine’s “Dream” the La Scala company has toured worldwide, enjoying resounding success everywhere.
With Luisa Spinatelli’s splendid sets and costumes, the Shakespearean storyline evolves in the first, more narrative, act. The second includes a long divertissement, exemplary of Balanchine’s style.
