LateRooms.com - Enjoy La Strada Ballet in Naples
The Teatro di San Carlo in Naples is staging a ballet adaptation of the Federico Fellini film La Strada.

NAPLES, ITALY, June 22, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fans of the great filmmaker Federico Fellini can book tickets to see a ballet adaptation of La Strada featuring the original soundtrack next month.

The 1954 movie starring Anthony Quinn and Giulietta Masina was highly acclaimed on its release and won the Academy Award for best foreign language film two years later.

Nina Rota provided the music for the picture and it is her composition that will be performed, with the Teatro di San Carlo Corps de Ballet interpreting the action on stage.

The dark drama is an example of Italian neorealism filmmaking, following the fortunes of a naive woman sold by her mother to a performance troupe led by an often cruel strongman.

Rota's score is innovatively introduced into the mis-en-scene through certain characters playing instruments such as violins and trumpets.

The music has been adapted by choreographer Mario Pistoni to create a stunning yet tragic ballet production.

It will be performed at 21:00 local time on July 8th, 9th and 10th. Tickets cost EUR20 (GBP17.60).
