New Company - Ballet de Catalunya - Barcelona

[Jan McNulty]

We've received a notification (in Catalan) that a new ballet company has been set up in Barcelona - the Ballet de Catalunya.  There is an opening gala on 19th November 2017.

 

Here is a link to the website but the information is a bit sketchy so far:  http://catalunyaballet.com/?lang=en

The BNC Opening Gala is a tribute to the work, effort and collaboration of all those people and institutions that with small gestures and enthusiasm have accompanied the team to be able to offer the public a first sample of the magnificent work of their dancers , which will perform, among others, pieces such as Corpi, Plenitudo, Ensemble and other more classic such as Paquita Suite and Pas de Deux del Corsari.

 

Best wishes to this new company.

Now that Catalonia is under direct rule from Madrid, will the ballet company be allowed to keep its name or will it be 'nationalised'?
