Shipping time: In stock | Expected delivery 1-2 days | Free UK Delivery
With its narrative of buccaneering bravado, exotic opulence, romance
and traitorous intrigue, Le Corsaire is one of the most impressive
narrative ballets of the 19th century, and it remains one of Adolphe
Adam’s best-known works. Director of the Wiener Staatsballett,
Manuel Legris, has choreographed a new version that draws on
the rich performance traditions of Russia and France, and carefully
combines spirited action, Adam’s delightful music, choreography,
scenery and costumes into an elegant and impressive production
which brings to life the colourful events that surround the leading
couple of Conrad and Médora.
