The design features interactive displays, offering insights into the ballet’s history, the significance of Teatro La Scala, and the ambiance of “Swan Lake.” Noteworthy performers like Rudolf Nureyev and Carla Fracci are showcased through costume displays. Visitors can navigate through a wealth of information, videos, and images. The immersive boxes emphasise a multi-dimensional experience, incorporating virtual reality and multi-sensory technology. A multi-dimensional tunnel adds an engaging layer, involving visitors in activities and serving as a transitional space leading to the costume display section.
In this instance, the project preserves the legacy of Rudolf Nureyev’s “Swan Lake,” providing an opportunity for visitors to interact with its mystical and elegant elements. The exhibition concept holds the potential for adaptation with other iconic performances (ballet, opera, or theatre) featured at La Scala, offering a more expansive and enriching cultural experience.
