Boston Ballet kicks off its
season later this month with the North American premiere of Ivan
Liskas masterpiece.
Le Corsaire
(The Pirate) chronicles the journey
of Conrad, a debonair pirate, as he searches for his beloved
Medora, a beautiful harem in the hands of slave traders. It is a
brilliant marriage of some of the greatest juxtapositions: passion
and danger, and romance and adventure.
The ballet displays the
magnificent artistry of the entire company through its elaborate
sets, lavish costumes, and majestic dancing.
This epic love story, which has
captivated audiences since 1856, premieres at Boston Opera House
October 27 and plays until November 6.
