The ballet evening McGregor / Maillot / Naharin, presented at Teatro alla Scala from March 18 to 28, 2026, unites three visionary choreographers whose works have transformed contemporary dance. Wayne McGregor , Jean-Christophe Maillot , and Ohad Naharin each bring a distinct aesthetic to the stage, blending into a compelling and dynamic performance. Featuring McGregor’s high-energy Chroma, Maillot’s poetic Dov’è la luna, and Naharin’s exhilarating Minus 16, this new production by La Scala Ballet Company showcases the artists’ expressive range and technical brilliance. It is a captivating evening that pushes dancers and audiences alike beyond traditional boundaries. A springtime visit to Milan for this unique event can be beautifully paired with excursions to Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, or the historic towns of Lombardy.
Teatro alla Scala, opened in 1778, is one of the world’s most iconic venues for opera and ballet. Famed for its rich acoustics, neoclassical architecture, and legacy of artistic excellence, it continues to innovate with bold programming and cutting-edge productions. The Scala’s commitment to both heritage and experimentation makes it an exceptional place to experience this contemporary triple bill. State-of-the-art staging, internationally acclaimed dancers, and a vibrant cultural setting create a complete artistic immersion. A night at La Scala is more than a performance – it is an unforgettable journey into the heart of Milanese elegance and creativity.
The Story
Chroma, created in 2006 for The Royal Ballet, explores physical and emotional expression through McGregor’s kinetic vocabulary. It is followed by Jean-Christophe Maillot’s Dov’è la luna, a lyrical piece set to Scriabin’s music, evoking intimacy and contrast, light and shadow. The legendary Roberto Bolle stars on March 18, 19, and 20. Ohad Naharin’s Minus 16 completes the program, breaking the fourth wall and inviting audience participation with joyful, spontaneous movement. These three distinct works challenge the dancers and enchant the audience with a full spectrum of contemporary dance.
