Running from December 8, 2012 – February 17, 2013, the series line-up includes dancers and musicians from Milan’s famed Teatro alla Scala Academy, opera singers from the Mariinskiy Theatre in St. Petersburg, and will conclude with a performance by legendary soul singer Percy Sledge.
December 8, 2012 – I Promessi Sposi by Alessandro Manzoni

Performed in Badrutt’s Palace Hotel’s Embassy Ballroom, Massimiliano Finazzer Flory’s interpretation of the masterpiece includes breathtakingly choreographed ballet and classical music by Giuseppe Verdi, Luciano Berio and Nino Rota. Milan’s Teatro alla Scala’s prima ballerina Gilda Gelati and string quartet enhance the performance onstage.

February 17, 2013 – Percy Sledge
The soulful sounds of rhythm and blues will fill the halls of Badrutt’s Palace Hotel when chart-topping singer Percy Sledge takes the stage.
