The Corpus ballet evening focuses on the encounter between ballet Zurich and our "Orchestra La Scintilla," which is performed on historical instruments. The successful choreographers Douglas Lee and Filipe Portugal embark on a musical journey, taking baroque as their inspiration for the creation of world premieres.

The English choreographer Douglas Lee enthusiastically inspired the Zurich audience with his work A-Life andAria . To the music of Antonio Vivaldi and the contemporary American composer Michael Gordon, he now follows the footsteps of the famous painting The Lady with the fan of Diego Velásquez.
