"Paris Ballet Legends"@Le French May

A Night with the Stars
featuring Star dancers of Paris Opera Ballet along with Hong Kong Ballet
Agnes Letestu, Stephane Bullion and Josua Hoffalt, together with Hong Kong Ballet dancers

Paris, the city of Love, the city of Lights, is also the city of Ballet, where the art form was born, courtesy of Louis XIV, four centuries ago. This performance is a tribute to both Paris and the artists who were inspired by it: from Chopin to Proust, Petit to Carné, Petipa to Piaf, and Bizet to Prévert. Each piece in Paris Ballet Legend has an intimate link to the City of Lights.

These most amazing pas de deux flirts with different styles and stories: the romantic Giselle the sensual Proust, the contemporary Non je ne regrette rien, the brilliant classic Black Swan, the daring Carmen Toujours! and néo-ballet La dame aux Camelias… The first half climaxes with three couples in multi-award winning – and true Paris-lover – Jerome Robbins’ In the Night danced to Chopin’s Nocturnes performed live by acclaimed French pianist Henri Barda.

Joining star of the Paris Opéra Ballet, Agnes Letestu, is a cast of international principal dancers specialising in French ballet techniques, instilling this collection of dances with love, grace and passion.
