LE CORSAIRE
Music by Adolphe Adam
American Ballet Theatre is world-renowned for its dazzling productions and the breathtaking skills of its principal dancers. These are perfectly showcased in Le Corsaire, an exotic fable of a pirate’s love for a beautiful slave girl that combines bravura dancing with lavish sets and costumes.
Performed to Adolph Adam's classic score, the cast of over 100 performers whisk the audience from the exuberance of a Pasha's palace to a dramatic shipwreck scene on the high seas, in a treasure trove of virtuoso dancing.
This is a rare opportunity to see the entire American Ballet Theatre company perform in one of London's grandest and most historic dance venues.
