The Corpo di Ballo Ballet Company is a vibrant and modern group that is not afraid of experimentation. That's what's particularly interesting about their repertoire.:

· Classics and modernity: The gems of the classical repertoire, such as Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker and Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, as well as more daring productions, are successfully performed here. Recently, in December 2024, their version of The Nutcracker sold out in front of a full house.

· "Sicilian" style: The theater is famous for its original, "home" productions. For example, "The Nutcracker" was reinterpreted and brought into the atmosphere of Palermo, and the costumes were inspired... Sicilian sweets — cassatas and cannoli! Can you imagine how beautiful it is?

· Star names: The troupe collaborates with world stars. For example, the premiere of the ballet Carmen was entrusted by the etoile of the Paris Opera to Eleonore Abbagnato, who also hails from Palermo.

· Young people: The theater has its own ballet school, and young dancers often participate in productions, which makes them especially lively and touching.
