Ballo della Regina
Ballo della Regina is a one-act ballet choreographed by George Balanchine to music by Giuseppe Verdi. It is a set of variations set to ballet music (titled La Peregrina) that Verdi cut from Act 3 of the original 1867 version of his opera Don Carlos.[1][2] Its premiere performance was on 12 January 1978, by the New York City Ballet at New York State Theater in Lincoln Center.[2][3]
The work is noted for the high degree of technical difficulties it presents for the female lead.[3] [4][5] Ballo della Regina was featured in an Emmy-winning PBS performance entitled Balanchine: Dance in America - Ballo della Regina - Steadfast Tin Soldier - Elegie - Tschaikovsky.[6]
