Night Of Ballet And PINK FLOYD At The Megaron Athens Concert Hall
March 30, 2010, 14 years ago
According to PINK FLOYD fan-site Brain-damage.co.uk, on April 12-14 the music of Pink Floyd will come alive on the Alexandra Trianti Stage through the famed dancers of the Teatro alla Scala Ballet at the Megaron Athens Concert Hall. Roland Petit will choreograph the set to the music of Pink Floyd complete with special scenery and lighting effects.
"It all began in the late '60s," explains Petit, the ballet's creator. "One day, my daughter, who must have been about 10 years old at the time, gave me an album by Pink Floyd and said, 'Dad, you have to make a ballet with this music. It's the best!' At first I was hesitant, but when I heard the music, I agreed with my daughter. So I went to England and met with Pink Floyd in person. I told them about my idea of making a ballet with their music and asked if they would agree. They were so enthusiastic about the idea that they even offered to play live at the world premiere!"For more information on the event you can visit the Megaron Athens Concert Hall website.
