For more than thirty-five years, this family event has been held on the occasion of a performance of the great classic Christmas ballet!


The Opera is decorated for children, and a brunch is served before the show.

Proceeds from this morning make it possible to invite five hundred children from social centers and reception centers to this event and to support the educational program entitled Ten Months of School and Opera from the Paris Opera Academy.


Synopsis:

It is hard to believe that Piotr Ilyitch Tchaikovsky's first ballet, Swan Lake, created in 1877 for the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, was a failure, as the melodic power of its music is truly striking. It was only twenty years later—Tchaikovsky was no longer alive— that the ballet, choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, found its way to the stage About a hundred years later, Rudolf Nureyev offered a new perspective by providing his own choreographic interpretation of this impossible story between Prince Siegfried and Odette, a woman transformed into a swan by the wizard Rothbart. In creating his own version for the Paris Opera Ballet in 1984, Rudolf Nureyev was more forgiving with regard to the mental state of the prince, torn between his duty and his dreams, and shed light to the hopeless depths of Tchaikovsky's poetic dream.
