La Scala’s étoiles, Svetlana Zakharova, Roberto Bolle and Massimo Murru, will do the honours of the house alongside the Corps de Ballet and international stars: on stage will be the most beloved ballets, virtuoso performances, the most spoken-about names and the new stars to be discovered. All this is Gala des Etoiles, a tribute to ballet-loving audiences through its protagonists Edited October 30, 2015 by SwissBalletFan 1

ambros1a Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 I saw the gala last night in the the cinema. An enjoyable evening but spoiled somewhat by the camera work. It will be interesting to see it from a backstage point of view.
toursenlair Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 I started watching the backstage footage and found it very boring. Not that exciting to watch people standing around, or stretching and yawning (even Ivan Vasiliev can't make yawning exciting).
annamicro Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 I started watching the backstage footage and found it very boring. Not that exciting to watch people standing around, or stretching and yawning (even Ivan Vasiliev can't make yawning exciting). Unfortunately the stage view wasn't more exciting. At the link provided above this morning was still available the recording: maybe you can watch it.
