Heinz Spoerli gives new life to these thirty variations by exploring a new choreographic architecture in which body and movement (and, of course, form) share a new kind of relationship. Spoerli mixes classical steps with discrete athleticism making the dancers interact in the most different ways. The dance moves from playfulness to elegant melancholy \u2013 trios, pas de deux and solos follow each other, from variation to variation, and are exceedingly well defined. Here music flows the way life does, in a way.<\/p>\n<p>Spoerli&#8217;s Goldberg Variations have no interval, nor elaborate sceneries, and the dancers wear only coloured leotards. As soon as the curtain rises, though, it is easy to realize this ballet doesn&#8217;t need anything else. Three years after the Milanese premiere of &#8220;Cello Suites&#8221;, a new Spoerli&#8217;s masterpiece enters the repertoire of La Scala Ballet, on stage until March 22.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30644\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30644\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30644 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/VIRNAT1-1024x604.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/VIRNAT1-1024x604.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/VIRNAT1-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/VIRNAT1-600x354.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/VIRNAT1-768x453.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30644\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Virna Toppi and Nicola Del Freo \u00a9 Brescia &#8211; Amisano<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"ihc-locker-wrap\"><div  class='ihc_locker_2'><div class='lock_content'><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Imagine_website_Digital_Exklusiv.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Weiterlesen mit Digital+<\/h2>\n<p>Alle Formate in einem ABO.<br \/>\nBequem auf Ihrem mobilen Endger\u00e4t Ihrer Wahl.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alle Artikel online lesen<\/li>\n<li>Zugang zum ePaper<\/li>\n<li>Zugang zum Online-Archiv von Dance for You<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Jetzt digital freischalten!<\/h4>\n<\/div><div class='lock_buttons'>\n  <!-- Login Form - Start -->\n  <div class=\"ihc-login-form-wrap ihc-login-template-11\">\n      <form method=\"post\" id=\"ihc_login_form\">\n          <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ihcaction\" value=\"login\" \/>\n          <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ihc_login_nonce\" value=\"f3d748fe43\" \/>\n\n          \n                    <!-- Username field -->\n          <div class=\"impu-form-line-fr\">\n              <i class=\"fa-ihc fa-username-ihc\"><\/i>\n              <input type=\"text\" value=\"\" name=\"log\" id=\"iump_login_username\" placeholder=\"Username\"\/>\n          <\/div>\n          <!-- End of username field -->\n          \n                    <!-- Password field -->\n          <div class=\"impu-form-line-fr\">\n              <i class=\"fa-ihc fa-pass-ihc\"><\/i>\n              <input type=\"password\" value=\"\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"iump_login_password\" placeholder=\"Password\"\/>\n              <span  class=\"ihc-hide-login-pw hide-if-no-js\" data-toggle=\"0\" aria-label=\"Show password\">\n              <span class=\"dashicons dashicons-visibility\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n                <\/span>\n          <\/div>\n          <!-- End of Password field -->\n          \n          \n          <!-- Remember me checkbox -->\n                    <div class=\"impu-remember-wrapper\">\n              <input type=\"checkbox\" value=\"forever\" name=\"rememberme\" class=\"impu-form-input-remember\" \/>\n              <span class=\"impu-form-label-remember\">Remember Me<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n                    <!-- End of remember me --->\n\n          <!-- Additional links -->\n                        <div class=\"impu-form-links-pass\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/en\/lost-password\/\">Lost your password?<\/a><\/div>\n                    <!-- End of Aditional links -->\n\n          <div class=\"ihc-clear\"><\/div>\n\n          <!-- captcha -->\n                    <!-- end of captcha -->\n\n          <!-- Submit bttn -->\n                        <div class=\"impu-form-line-fr impu-form-submit\">\n                  <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Log In\" name=\"Submit\"  class=\"button button-primary button-large\"\/>\n              <\/div>\n                    <!-- End of Submit bttn -->\n\n          <!-- Social -->\n                    <!-- End of Social -->\n\n          <!-- Additional links -->\n                        <div class=\"impu-form-links\">\n                <div class=\"impu-form-links-reg\">Don&#039;t have an account? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/register\/\">Register<\/a><\/div>\n              <\/div>\n                        <!-- End of Aditional links -->\n\n      <\/form>\n  <\/div>\n\n  \n  <span class='ihc-js-login-data'\tdata-user_field='#iump_login_username' data-password_field='#iump_login_password' data-error_message='Please fill out all mandatory fields' ><\/span>\n  <!-- End of Login Form -->\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>English Review &#8211; Bach\u2019s beautiful Goldberg Variations are undoubtedly an iconic pinnacle of Western music.
