Synopsis
Listen to the synopsis
The Annual Production presented by the Ballet School, directed by Élisabeth Platel, give pupils their first on-stage experience and allow the public to discover the wealth of the choreographic language taught at the School.
This season’s performance features a creation by Clairemarie Osta, Le Petit Prince, based on Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s poetic tale.
Brio, grace and lightness are some of the qualities demanded by the classical language of Soir de fête, a ballet by Léo Staats first performed at the Paris Opera in 1925.
Finally, Yondering, specially conceived by John Neumeier in 1996 for graduating students, is inspired by the spirit of adventure of the American pioneers as they conquered the West, conjuring up the unknown that the students will encounter as they embark on their professional careers.
