A film by Frederick Wiseman following the ins and outs of 7 ballets by the Paris Opera Ballet.
The Sleeping Beauty remains, as Rudolf Nureyev often called it, the 'ballet of ballets'. It is the most accomplished and the most brilliant, as well as one of the most spectacular of the 19th century, and the most representative of the 'noble' style of classical dancing. Performed by Opera National de Paris in 2000.
Experience Rudolf Nureyev's sumptuous landmark 1995 production of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet at the Opéra Bastille, starring Monique Loudières as Juliet, Manuel Legris as Romeo, Charles Jude as Tybalt, and Lionel Delanoë as Mercutio.
At the Paris Opera, a ballet dancer Monique Loudières performs "Giselle," "In the Night," and "Don Quixote" alongside some of today's greatest artists.
Manuel Legris is a French ballet dancer. He was an étoile (star dancer) of the Paris Opera Ballet for 23 years (1986-2009) and since 2010 he has directed the Vienna State Ballet. He will assume the position of artistic director of La Scala Theatre Ballet in 2020.
