Balanchine's Jewels / Paris National Opera Ballet [Blu-ray]
*** This Blu-ray Disc is only playable on Blu-ray Disc players and not compatible with standard DVD or HD DVD players. ***
In 2000, seventeen years after George Balanchineâs death, a rare and precious ballet arrived at the Paris OpĂ©ra: Jewels, a work first performed by the New York City Ballet in 1967. This alluring, abstract ballet, a triptych in which each piece sparkles with the brilliance of a precious stone, is a lyric tribute to women and to the capital cities of the great dance schools. Couturier, painter and craftsman Christian Lacroix created the glorious costumes and sets which, together with the outstanding performances of the dancers and the sensitive musical direction of Paul Connelly, results in a celebration of sumptuous splendour. AurĂ©lie Dupont, Marie-AgnĂšs Gillot, AgnĂšs Letestu, Clairemarie Osta, LaĂ«titia Pujol, Jean-Guillaume Bart, Kader Belarbi, Mathieu Ganio
