Beginning
rehearsals on April 1, 2008, Corella Ballet is currently the only
classical ballet company in Spain. Since its foundation it has
premiered two classical productions: La Bayadère and The
Swan Lake and three combination programmes with three world premieres:
String Sextet by Ángel Corella; Soleá Pdd by María
Pagés and Epimetheus by Russell Ducker. It has 24 works
in its repertorire.
Corella
Ballet is one of the initiatives of the Angel Corella Foundation
to promote classical dance in Spain. It is part of a major project
that includes the creation of a Residence - a dance school of
the highest quality, which will also be the base for future Corella
Ballet dancers. This project is in response to Angel Corella's
aspiration to provide a professional career for classical dancers
in Spain and prevent Spanish born dancers from having to leave
the country to further their careers as Corella and many others
have for the past 20 years.
Corella
Ballet will offer a wide repertoire; incorporating classical,
neoclassical and contemporary choreographiy. This will allow Corella
Ballet to quickly position itself among the greatest companies
of the world, such as Great Britain's Royal Ballet, American Ballet
Theatre of New York, Paris Opera Ballet or La Scala Ballet of
Milán.
