Description |
Sponsored by Telecom Australia
Paquita epitomises Marius Patipa's choreographic genius and is showpiece for the classic virtuosity of its entire cast. It is a ballet which exudes style, complemented by great technical skill and bravura.
Maurice Bejart's Four Last Songs is set to and inspired by Richard Strauss' Lieder of the same title. The simplicity of the staging and costumes allows complete involvement in the emotion of the music and the beauty of Bejart's unique choreographic style. |
