An exclusive Ballet season experience brought to you by Ster-Kinekor Nouveau Theatres
Ballet in three acts with a prologue and epilogue
Le Corsaire (The Pirate) will be screening from 02 December 2017 at your nearest Ster-Kinekor Cinema Nouveau Theatres. First performed at the Bolshoi in 1856, this is a swashbuckling, romantic tale of pirates, slaves and oriental intrigue and is typical of the exotic and ambitious ballets created during the Tsarist era.
This is a ballet in three acts, with a libretto based on the poem The Corsair by Lord Byron. Amidst a bustling market, the pirate Conrad falls in love at first sight with the beautiful Medora, the ward of the slave merchant at Lankedem’s bazaar. Conrad kidnaps Medora when Lanquedem decides to sell her to the Pasha. Come embrace this graceful production on 02 December 2017 at your nearest Ster-Kinekor Cinema Nouveau Theatres.
Duration: 3 hours 35 minutes, with an interval of 15 minutes.
