Agenda Barcelona

The Grand dance gala at El Liceu brings together some of the most outstanding figures in international ballet, offering an exceptional evening where elegance, technique and excitement all form part of a top-class artistic show.

The repertoire has been carefully chosen, the aim being to trace a balanced path between Romanticism and Academicism, offering a rich and profound experience. It includes iconic fragments from the classical repertoire, with choreographies by Marius Petipa, representing the essence of traditional ballet, as well as neoclassical pieces, reinterpreted by George Balanchine, bringing a more contemporary and stylised perspective without forfeiting the essence of the classical movement.

All this choreography is woven together with a refined and coherent musical thread, dominated by the work of Tchaikovsky and enriched with subtle tones of Puccini and other composers, making for an emotional variety and the sophistication of sound.
