Manuel Legris's production of the ballet 'Le Corsaire' will be performed at Weiner Staatsoper on October 17, 2016.The first performance of 'Le Corsaire' was in 1856 at the Paris Opera, and since then it has been regarded as one of the most impressive of the narrative ballets of the 19th century. Till date, the ballet has not been performed as a whole at Wiener Staatsoper. With this tradition in the backdrop, spanning over 150 years, Manuel Legris has been preparing a special version of his ensemble. With scenery and costumes designed by Luisa Spinatelli, the team that was so successful and applauded for its performance in 'Swan Lake' has again been brought together to perform the 'Le Corsaire'.Click on the Slideshow for a sneak peek of the performance.
