When Rudolf Nureyev came to Paris in 1961 during a tour with the Kirov, shortly before his request for political asylum, he mesmerized the Palais Garnier audience in the role of the Prince in The Sleeping Beauty. Thirty years later, he proposed a new choreography of this work, which he considered "the ballet of ballets," for the Ballet of the Paris Opera.
While retaining the spectacular fairy-tale quality of the ballet and the dazzling charm of Tchaikovsky's music, he rebalanced Marius Petipa's original choreography by giving more prominence to the male roles, particularly that of the Prince.
Absent from the stage of the Paris Opera for ten years, there is no doubt that Aurora and Désiré, the Lilac Fairy and the Bluebird, not forgetting the dreadful Carabosse, will fascinate new generations.
