From the Bolshoi Ballet projected onto
our GIANT screen!
Libretto by Jules Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Joseph Mazilier
edited by Marius Petipa
In the Bolshoi Ballet’s new staging of Le Corsaire, Petipa’s original choreography is revived and refreshed by Alexei Ratmansky and Yuri Burlaka to breathe new life into this production.
The ballet follows Medora, a young Greek girl, and Conrad, a dashing pirate, as they journey through a tapestry of dramatic events, culminating in a shipwreck considered to be one of ballet’s most dazzling spectacles.
"THE FINAL SCENE HAS ONE SCENIC MASTERSTROKE AFTER ANOTHER. MOONLIGHT UPON THE MEDITERRANEAN, THEN THE CORSAIRS' SHIP…FILLING MOST OF THE STAGE WITH CHARACTERS ON BOARD, TRUMPED BY THUNDER, LIGHTNING, STORM, RISING WAVES, AND THE BOAT SPLITTING BEFORE OUR EYES: THE KIND OF SPECIAL EFFECT THAT IN RECENT DECADES HAS BELONGED TO FILM ALONE." - The New York Times
"…FAIRLY BURSTS WITH DAZZLING INGREDIENTS...THE FINAL OCEAN SCENE IS KAMINSKY'S CROWNING GLORY." - Washington Post
