Choreography and Staging: Kader Belarbi

Three masterworks by Kader Belarbi shine in these stunning Ballet du Capitole productions. Hailed by Le Figaro as 'simply magnificent: a miracle in two acts', Le Corsaire is a bold reinvention of a 19th-century classic. La Bête et la Belle - a compelling reimagining of the classic fairy tale Beauty and the Beast - had its place affirmed among the best of modern ballets by Belarbi's much-lauded production for Théâtre du Capitole. La Reine morte, based on Montherlant's play of the same name and set to an enchanting score by Tchaikovsky, tells the tragic story of King Peter I of Portugal's devotion to his beloved Inês..

"for anyone whose main priority is to have a "Le Corsaire for the modern age" - and anyone wanting to watch expertly and beautifully filmed performances by a very accomplished company of dancers - this innovative account from Toulouse could hardly be bettered." MusicWeb on Le Corsaire
