LE CORSAIRE

Le Corsaire

New Production

Opens Tuesday! • June 4 - 8

MET, NY

High jinx on the high seas! Hoist the anchor, set the mainsail and discover a treasure trove of virtuoso dancing in a New Production of this swashbuckling comedy! This exotic fable of a dashing pirate's love for a beautiful harem girl journeys through a tapestry of captive maidens, rich sultans, suspenseful abductions and dramatic rescues—culminating in a shipwreck that's one of the most breathtaking spectacles in all of ballet.

The true charm of Le Corsaire is to be found in its magnificent opportunities for dance, particularly the dynamic male dancing, which the men of ABT take to like drakes to water or eagles to air. Whether it be the pas de trois for the lovely Medora, her beloved pirate Conrad and his Slave or the transcendent beauty of "Le Jardin Animé," Le Corsaire is a boatload of fun that never fails to delight.

Now, boasting all-new sets and costumes with over 120 performers, Le Corsaire perfectly showcases ABT's star-studded roster of dancers during the Company's 2013 Spring Season at the Metropolitan Opera House. Bring your entire family and enjoy downright, giddy fun. You'll sail out of the theater with a grin from ear to ear!
