About Carlos Acosta's Classical Selection in Reykjavik
From sensational, heart-stopping moments to comic masterpieces, there’s instantly recognisable music and dance that will bring the house down.
Performed by the Company's leading dancers, the show is full of sparkling classical highlights that include Frederick Ashton’s exquisite Rhapsody (Rachmaninov), created for Mikhail Baryshnikov and Lesley Collier, Carlos’s own temperature-raising Carmen (after Bizet), Ben Van Cauwenbergh's popular French chanson-inspired Je ne regrette rien (Edith Piaf) and Les Bourgeois (Jacques Brel), Carlos’s interpretation of Fokine’s The Dying Swan (Saint-Saëns; accompanied live by BRB's Head of Piano and Principal Cello), and spectacular pas de deux from Bournonville’s delightful La Sylphide, the explosive Diana and Actaeon, and the iconic Swan Lake (Tchaikovsky).
With breathtaking dance, Carlos Acosta's Classical Selection is a sensational show for Icelandic audiences.
