Bolshoi Ballet - Le Corsaire - Live by satelite

Based loosely on Byron's poem, this lavish production with music from Adolphe Adam and Leo Delibes, is almost ballet's answer to Pirates of the Caribbean. It has been a Bolshoi favourite since 2007, when Alexi Ratmansky restored and refined the choreography. Medora, a young slave girl, has been sold to an evil pasha. She is then kidnapped from the pasha's palace by Conrad, a swashbuckling pirate chief. The ballet contains some magnificent set pieces from moonlight over the Mediterranean to Force 10 thunder and lightning and the shipwreck. A dazzling jewel in the Bolshoi's crown!
