Le Ballet de l'Opéra national du Capitole at Gran Teatre del Liceu

This event marks a high point in the theatre’s season, presenting two iconic pieces: «Sémiramis» and «Don Juan», in a co-production with the Théâtre National de l’Opéra-Comique de París and under the vision of maestro Jordi Savall.

Choreographers Edward Clug and Ángel Rodríguez, recognised for their creativity and their ability to convey emotions through movement, lead the performance of these works. Clug, famous for his career escaping communist oppression through art in Romania, and Rodríguez, who has distinguished himself on some of Europe’s most prestigious stages, bring a unique perspective to Gluck’s legacy.

Jordi Savall, responsible for the musical direction, joins this project with deep respect and admiration for Gluck, whose music has been revolutionary for its capacity for dramatic expression and narrative coherence. «Don Juan», composed just one year before «Orfeo et Euridice», shows an innovation in the ballet of the period, adapting Molière’s work to Viennese public taste with an orchestra that enhances the expressiveness of the dance.

Ballet du Capitole performs these compositions at the Liceu, where every step and every note become a dialogue between music and gesture, offering the audience a visual and sonic experience of immense calibre. This link between talents promises a night in which classical dance dialogues with choreographic innovation, bringing to the stage the sensitivity and passion that characterised Gluck as a forerunner of the great changes in the world of ballet and opera.

This event is not only a celebration of music and dance, but also a tribute to art’s capacity to cross borders and unite cultures through the beauty of movement and harmony. An essential date for lovers of dance and classical music seeking to experience the magic of live performance on one of Barcelona’s most emblematic stages.
