Bangkok’s International Festival of Dance & Music Reveals its Line-up for 2011 – Better than Ever!
Bangkok’s International Festival of Dance & Music is often called ‘a cultural feast’, and you shouldn’t miss sampling it with your family and friends. This year there will be 17 different productions of opera, music, ballet and dance - something for everyone, indeed.
The Festival will take place 9 September - 16 October, and artistes will be flying in from many different countries including Austria, Brazil, Canada, Russia and United Kingdom for their mostly one-night performances. You only have to travel to the Thailand Cultural Centre to watch them perform!
In September the highlights are: the fairytale Swan Lake on Ice; three highly-anticipated ballets (Le Corsaire, Don Quixote, and Mariinsky Ballet Gala) by the legendary Mariinsky Ballet Company from St. Petersburg accompanied by Mariinsky Symphony ORchestra; and Introdans - Repertoire Highlights.
In October the highlights are: the lovable Flying Superkids gymnastics team from Denmark; two operas The Tsar’s Bride (a tragedy) and The Marriage of Figaro (a comedy);and Spain’s flamenco ambassador to the world, Ballet Nacional de España, who will close the curtain on this year’s festival with magnificent passion.
However, there are still eight other shows to enjoy!: samba in Balé de Rua; Casa Azul inspired by Mexican artist Frida Kahlo; Meeting With Bodhisattva – a spiritual performance of drumming and martial arts; The Blue Planet Live! theatrical concert which will take you beneath the oceans; a symphony concert to hear Alexander Borodin’s Symphony No. 2 and Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9; Choreographer’s Cut & World Premiere by MOVE: the company; Katia Guerreiro’s soulful alto voice as she performs fado – the Portugese ‘blues’; and the pure, harmonious voices of the charming Vienna Boy’s Choir.
