General dress rehearsal
30 Jan. 2020
- Palais Garnier
Enter the heart of creation and surprise the artists in action
The Paris Opera offers Arop members the privilege of being able to observe the work of the artists and the development of a production at different moments: during work sessions, pre-dress rehearsals and dress rehearsals. The dress rehearsal is the last rehearsal before the first performance of a show.
GISELLE
A romantic ballet par excellence, Giselle is the utmost of a new aesthetic. Airy tutus, white gauze, tulle and tarlatane invade the scene. In the fantastic transfiguration of a tragedy, the Wilis help with the illusion of immateriality. Created at the Royal Academy of Music on June 28, 1841, the ballet traveled to Russia and disappeared from the repertoire before returning to France in 1910. It is today in the version by Patrice Bart and Eugène Polyakov, faithful to the original choreography of Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot, that the ballet continues to confirm its first successes. Luminous and terrestrial scenes, nocturnal and spectral visions: dance becomes the language of the soul, and the ballerina, through her aerial presence, seems to triumph over the gravity.
