Registrations open on Tuesday 3 December 2024 at 2.30pm
Come and discover a work session based on the ballet The Sleeping Beauty by Rudolf Nureyev, a special moment of sharing where Ballet dancers prepare before going on stage. Places are limited.
Rehearsals punctuate the daily work of the dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet. They take place every day, after dance classes, in the studios of the Palais Garnier and Opéra Bastille with coaches, ballet masters and choreographers.
When Rudolf Nureyev came to Paris in 1961 on tour with the Kirov, he captived audiences at the Palais Garnier in the role of the Prince in The Sleeping Beauty. Thirty years later, he proposed a new choreography of what he considered to be “the ballet of ballets” for the Paris Opera Ballet.
While retaining the spectacular enchantment of the ballet and the sparkling charm of Tchaikovsky’s music, he brought a new balance to Marius Petipa’s original choreography by giving more prominence to the male roles, particularly that of the Prince.
