Creation 2020
Piece for 26 dancers created at La Comédie de Clermont-Ferrand in 2020.
After Snow White and Romeo and Juliet, Angelin Preljocaj returns to narrative ballet and his taste for stories. Mixing Tchaikovsky's musical masterpiece with more contemporary arrangements, as he likes to do, he takes up the myth of the swan princess and transposes the story into the context of today's society, at the heart of the problems of our time.
This new production of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake is made possible thanks to the exceptional support of Madame Aline Foriel-Destezet.

Opéra Bastille
A great modern theatre
The Opéra Bastille is the work of the Canadian-Uruguayan architect Carlos Ott, who was chosen in November 1983 after an international competition that attracted entries from some 1,700 architects. The theatre was inaugurated on July 13th 1989.
Its architecture is marked by transparent façades and by the use of identical materials for both the interiors and the exteriors.
With its 2,700 acoustically consistent seats, its unique stage facilities, its integrated scenery, costume and accessory workshops, as well as its numerous work areas and rehearsal rooms, the Opera Bastille is a great modern theatre.
