Paquita's Grand Pas

By Antony Desvaux

On the occasion of the revival of Paquita in Pierre Lacotte's production, Valentine Colasante and Guillaume Diop talk about their leading roles in this ballet created by Joseph Mazilier in 1846. The Étoiles dancers recount the love story between Paquita and Lucien d'Hervilly, and how they work their characters between mischief and romanticism. To guide them through the rehearsals for” Le Grand pas”, Étoile dancer Agnès Letestu shares her experience with them in the studio. In this ballet full of humor and drama, Valentine Colasante and Guillaume Diop emphasize the importance of expression and the balance to be achieved with technical virtuosity.

Play or the joy of playing

By Antony Desvaux

On the occasion of the revival of Play at the Palais Garnier, Alexander Ekman talks about his work in the studio with the dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet.

The choreographer looks back on the creative process that took place in 2017, and explains why the theme of play was chosen.

Alexander Ekman, a lover of large-scale ballets, recalls the games of his childhood and the way he transposes and exacerbates them on stage. He explains the ballet script he conceived with dramaturge Carina Nildalen, and finally shares the changes he is making to Play this season with the dancers' complicity.

The Rake's Progress: Stravinsky's homage to opera

By Marion Mirande

Stravinsky's opera The Rake's Progress, premiered in 1951, underlines the composer's lyrical and orchestral mastery as well as his great musical culture.

Conductor Susanna Mälkki, currently conducting the work at the Palais Garnier, reflects on the composer's astounding ability to embrace modernity whilst looking back to the great masters who preceded him.
