| Synopsis |
【Asian Première】
An exotic fable of a dashing pirate’s love for a beautiful harem girl, Hong Kong Ballet’s première of "Le Corsaire" features captive maidens, rich pashas, suspenseful abductions, dramatic rescues and a poisoned rose, culminating in an unexpected shipwreck that’s one of the most breathtaking spectacles in all of ballet! Based on "The Corsair" by Lord Byron and choreographed by Anna-Marie Holmes, former Artistic Director of Boston Ballet, this exhilarating production is full of adventure, action, comedy, and romance with a famous pas de trois from its colourful cast of characters!
Holmes won an Emmy Award for her staging of "Le Corsaire" for American Ballet Theatre (ABT) on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)’s ‘Great Performances’. "Le Corsaire"’s showcase of virtuoso ballet techniques, with bravura roles for men, feisty female characters and jubilant group dances, is a standout in classical repertoire. Love worth having is love worth fighting for! |
