Schedule for Paris National Opera presents "Le Parc" 2022

Composer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Choreography: Angelin Preljocaj

Orchestra: Bolshoi Theatre Symphony Orchestra

The central event of the winter 2011 touring season will be the Paris Opera Ballet Company visit to the Bolshoi (6-27 February). The French dancers will be presenting Angelin Preljocaj’s famous ballet LE PARC

This is a Bolshoi Ballet and Ballet Preljocaj, Aix-en-Provence co-project. Preljocaj made his name in the classical ballet world with his ballet LE PARC, at the Paris Opera. In Russia, he has been famous since 1994

Created in 1994, LE PARC was the first full length ballet created by Prelijocaj and the work thus possesses both the boldness and inevitable failures of all first attempts of this kind. Preljocaj wanted to do a work that reflected the love attitudes of the French in the 18th century, a subject matter that perhaps is best known by Choderlos de Laclos’s novel “Les Liaisons Dangereuses”. Set to Mozart’s music as well as sound compositions by Goran Vejvoda, the ballet tells the development of a love relationship from its initial indifference and coolness to its most passionate ardour.
