Tanto ... Tango! - Schedule, Program & Tickets

Tanto ... Tango!

Eroticism, melancholy, excitement, passion: Tanto… Tango! So much ... Tango! No other dance is so much an attitude towards life, no other dance has conquered the salons like this from the street, no other allows women and men to meet at eye level - without denying the struggle that its dancers are fighting with each other.

The tango ballads are dominated by the pulling melancholy of the bandoneon, their lyrics tell of loneliness, desire and the countless reasons in life to go crazy. The dirtiest quarters of Argentina are his birthplace, from which he soon conquered Buenos Aires, the capital that suddenly blossomed into the most glamorous metropolis south of the equator - and from here the whole world. Tango is danced in patios and inner courtyards, there are well-run dance halls, and in newly opened dance schools the “elegant” tango is developing into a ballroom dance - which is still (and still today) a dangerous passion.

In addition to the illustrated sheet music of the tango composers, the first recordings of the new record companies are coming into circulation, tango teas make it socially acceptable and the fashion wave in tango yellow is also conquering the wardrobes of better society and is leading to tangomania in Europe and North America.

“As a dance, tango is the most beautiful thing there is. You have to approach it with strength, with a lot of tenderness and many hours of work, ”says the Argentine tango expert Antonio Todaro - and so the dancers of the Salzburg ballet ensemble will devote themselves to the“ dance of dances ”with passion.

“Tanto… Tango!” Is a collaboration between ballet director Reginaldo Oliveira and the outstanding soloist of the Salzburg ensemble, chamber dancer Flavio Salamanka, who also attracted attention as a choreographer (“Mozart Moves!”, “The Little Prince”). Reginaldo Oliveira has long been convincing as ballet director in Salzburg in the large formats in the Felsenreitschule and in the State Theater.
