Opéra national de Paris 2021/22: Notre-Dame de Paris (Aufz)

Ballett in zwei Akten und 13 Szenen Victor Hugo (1965) Aufzeichnung aus Opéra Bastille 88 Minuten ohne Pause Roland Petits first piece for the Paris Opera Ballet in 1965, Notre-Dame de Paris brings together all the ingredients of a grand spectacle. The ballet was inspired by Victor Hugos masterpiece, with its colourful characters: the beautiful Esmerelda, the touching Quasimodo, the machiavellian Frollo and the cynical Pheobus. With colourful and graphic costumes by Yves Saint Laurent and sets by the painter René Allio that recreate the splendour of the Parisian cathedral, the choreography, sustained by the ensemble of the companys dancers, translates all the expressive power of characters plunged into a saga of love and death. To mark the tenth anniversary of the choreographers death, the Corps de Ballet revives this magnificent fresco in dance on the stage of Opera Bastille.
