"Pas de Cordes"
A poetic encounter between the elegance of ballet and the expressive world of classical guitar.
Daniela Rittoles - Ballet
Andre Bernovski - Guitar
This program unfolds the magic of the great ballet masterpieces in an entirely new light:
The glittering world of The Nutcracker comes alive through delicate guitar textures, revealing the charm of the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the warmth of Tchaikovsky’s Christmas universe.
From Swan Lake, the music transforms into a rich, intimate soundscape, where the tragedy and purity of Odette take on new emotional colors.
The soul-stirring beauty of Saint-Saëns’ The Swan is brought to life above all through the ballerina’s dance: a deeply poetic, almost weightless choreography where every gesture becomes a breath, a whisper, a fleeting moment of hope and sorrow.By contrast, the fiery passion of Bizet’s Habanera bursts with sensual charisma — a dance of allure, power, and playfulness.And the exhilarating Danza del Molinero by de Falla adds vibrant Spanish intensity, rhythmic precision, and dramatic flair.This entire program is shaped by the enchanting artistic collaboration between classical ballerina Daniela Rittoles, known for her expressive, fluid movement language, lyrical precision, and magnetic stage presence — and André Bernovski, whose refined, emotional guitar playing blends clarity, warmth, and storytelling. He has performed on various stages across Europe and Asia, bringing his distinctive sound and sensitivity to every performance.Together, they create an atmospheric and captivating experience designed for concerts, Christmas celebrations, and exclusive corporate events.
