An insight into the life of the world's most famous male dancer, Rudolf Nureyev.

A very special dance occasion in honour of a celestial alignment of events, the Gala des Étoiles celebrates the Ballet Corp's time-honoured tradition of a Grand Gala at La Scala as it coincides with Milan's tenure as host city of EXPO 2015. Symbolically espousing the spirit of the Universal Exposition by bringing together outstanding international talent, La Scala's étoiles Svetlana Zakharova, Roberto Bolle and Massimo Murru extend Milan's red carpet to a veritable constellation of guest dancers from around the world, including rising stars and luminaries of the ballet universe.

A love of dance through a unique life, that of the famous dancer, teacher, and choreographer Víctor Ullate. In December 2019, the news broke: 'Víctor Ullate's Ballet is closing'.

Ullate, always going against the grain, sometimes controversial but charming, a fighter and an unyielding worker, has lived a unique life driven by his great passion: dancing.
