Available to watch online with a three-day rental, ENB in Paris takes an in-depth look at the company as it makes its historical first visit to “the cathedral of ballet,” the Paris Opera.
In 2016, English National Ballet became the first UK company in 60 years to perform on the Palais Garnier stage. Filmed by Michael Nunn & William Trevitt, this 60-minute documentary follows the Company as it prepares to make history with its performances of Le Corsaire on this world-renowned stage.
The Palais Garnier is hallowed ground for ballet dancers because, since 1875, it’s been the home of Paris Opera Ballet – the oldest national ballet company in the world, whose origins go back to the very start of ballet’s history, under Louis XIV.
As a big-scale spectacle with stunning decor and costumes, lots of great roles and set pieces for our dancers to shine, and an action-packed storyline, our production of the classic three-act ballet Le Corsaire is the perfect fit for this iconic stage.
