    This performance was 2002.
    A quote borrowed from Gramilano ~
    "Excelsior is a ‘concept’ ballet - light triumphs over darkness - and it features dancers representing Peace, Invention, Perseverance, Courage, Concord and so on. Luigi Manzotti created the ballet in Milan in 1881 putting hundreds of dancers on stage, together with elephants, trumpeters, children, the works, accompanied by Romualdo Marenco’s bombastic score. It was a time when the Italian population was euphoric as they’d only recently become, well… Italians. Italian Unification had occurred only a decade or so earlier and it was a time to celebrate. And what better way than with a big, brash ballet extravaganza! It shows man’s progress, through science, [the abolition of slavery] towards a better future: transportation, electricity, engineering. Excelsior was extraordinarily successful in Milan and went on to tour the major Italian cities, followed by trips to London, Vienna and St Petersburg. The French loved it so much that it ran for months in Paris."
    Obscurantism - Ricardo Massimi
    Enlightenment - Marta Romagna
    Civilization - Isabel Seabra
    The Slave - Roberto Bolle
    The Corps de ballet - Teatro alla Scala

    Thank you for sharing this with us and taking the time to post it. This ballet is so rarely performed, I doubt I would have had a chance to see it otherwise. Roberto Bolle's sublime presence is the icing on the cake. You spoil us! Thank you!

    To describe this as "fanciful" would be to grossly understate the matter! Musically and conceptually it most closely resembles one of Offenbach's frothier works! I don't wonder that Parisians loved it - it reminded them of their Beloved Jacques!

    I watched this all the way through for those glimpses of Roberto il divino . . . such an incredible dancer - AND the most beautiful man in the world. There was an awful lot of awful to wade through, and I can see why it's performed so infrequently. It's the kind of pastiche Busby Berkeley would have mounted had he been an American Diaghilev. Massimi as L'Oscurantismo was also quite wonderful; malign and pitiable at the same time.

      Giorgio Cesari I would go so far as to say 'the best in the world' - but then I am a tad biased. Marta Romagna as 'The Light' is pretty good too :)

    Más allá del argumento, que por cierto en casi todos los ballet son absolutamente disparatados, este ensemble recrea con pericia una historia utópica y a la vez vivaz de la sintonía del hombre con el progreso, la esperanza y los obstáculos. En resumen, un gran espectaculo con excelenes iterpretes (Bolle magnífico, nada nuevo, el mejor de su generación ) que se deja ver con gran placer. Un despliegue de imaginación (coreografía, vestuario, escenografía, iluminación, etc etc etc que nos hace ver una obra llena de excelentes momentos. Bravo al Ballet de la Scala. Bolle el gran mago de esa compañía.

    This must be the most embarrassing ballet ever made; as a matter of fact, hardly a ballet at all, but for the fact of some ballerina's on stage, lost in the middle of 1881's rockettes-to-be, performing steps randomly taken from the classic vocabulary. Scholars may find it extremely interesting from a sociological and historical perspective ( and then, Historical with a capital H, not of any importance in actual dance history). Which explains it was a huge success in his time and place, with audiences thrilled by elaborate and kitsch sets and costumes on purely utilitarian (I can't even say functional!) "choreography". We can't rewrite the past, but to restage a so an absolutely pointless snoozefest nowadays...As Ballet critic P. Boccadoro puts it "this re-staging by Dell'Ara in 1967, when Tudor, MacMillan and Ashton were creating timeless works at Covent Garden, barely falls short of burlesque". So sorry for the principals like Bolle and Romagna I so much like, BTW..

      I was looking for someone with my sane thoughts! I watched this for the first time at age 13, considered it the most horrible ballet and never touched it again. Now it popped on my RUclips page and made me waste 2 more hours of my life in what I confirm again to be the most horrible and embarrassing ballet. No shame to the principals and soloists, they danced beautifully
