Beginning rehearsals on April 1, 2008, Corella
Ballet is currently the only classical ballet company in Spain.
Corella Ballet is one of the initiatives
of the Angel Corella Foundation to promote classical dance in
Spain. It is part of a major project that includes the creation
of a Residence - a dance school of the highest quality, which
will also be the base for future Corella Ballet dancers.
This project is in response to
Angel Corella's aspiration to provide a professional career for
classical dancers in Spain and prevent Spanish born dancers from
having to leave the country to further their careers as Corella
and many others have for the past 20 years.
Corella Ballet will offer a wide
repertoire; incorporating classical, neoclassical and contemporary
choreographiy. This will allow Corella Ballet to quickly position
itself among the greatest companies of the world, such as Great
Britain's Royal Ballet, American Ballet Theatre of New York, Paris
Opera Ballet or La Scala Ballet of Milán.
