Synopsis
Come and discover a work session based on Rudolf Nureyev's ballet Swan Lake, a special moment of sharing where Ballet dancers prepare their roles before going on stage.
Rehearsals punctuate the daily work of the dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet. They take place every day, after dance classes, in the studios of the Palais Garnier and Opéra Bastille with coaches, ballet masters and choreographers. Places are limited.
A fairytale ballet set to Tchaikovsky’s scintillating score, Swan Lake was created in 1877 for the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow and later restaged by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov. Almost a hundred years later, Rudolf Nureyev brought his own interpretation of the ballet to the Paris Opera in 1984.
The encounter between a dreamy prince and a bird-woman continues to fascinate with its elegant choreography and poetic story. Rudolf Nureyev’s striking psychological insight magnifies the love story between Siegfried and Odette, the white swan bullied by the sorcerer Rothbart and Odile, the black swan.
