Bolshoi Theatre Ballet: Lost Illusions

About the Event

In a guest performance at the Paris Opera, the Bolshoi Theatre Ballet presents Lost Illusions, a creation by Alexei Ratmansky, based on the novel by Balzac.

The choreographer’s neoclassical language stands out in a great narrative ballet with a French flavor. This is a grand story of thwarted love, ambition and disillusionment in which the dancers reveal their talents and the choreographer, another facet of his work.
