En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Jean-Christophe Maillot

Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo sont enfin de retour à Paris avec un programme contrasté : le fascinant Autodance de Sharon Eyal puis le ballet historique Vers un pays sage de Jean-Christophe Maillot.

Jean-Christophe Maillot chorégraphie un ballet à mi-chemin entre le cinéma expressionniste allemand dans son Prologue et les codes de la danse néo-classique. Il s'interroge sur les notions de bien et de mal, les désirs plus ou moins assumés du Prince. Une soirée dont on ne sort pas indemne. 

El Palau de Les Arts presenta el poético e histórico Romeo y Julieta coreografiado de los Ballets de Monte-Carlo. 

After a more traditional direction from the new leadership of Ballett am Rhein in their season opener, new programme Kaleidoskop is a mixed selection that sees a fusion of contemporary and neoclassical choreography. 

Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo presents three equally riveting ballets in a triple bill of abstract works from Christopher Wheeldon, Sharon Eyal/Gai Behar and Jean-Christophe Maillot.

Full of invention and originality, this up-to-date version of The Sleeping Beauty is entertaining and emotionally absorbing.

If it were a film, I’d say Maillot’s Shrew is more of a trashy Franco-Russian Rom-Com with literary pretensions than an art film.

Les Ballets de Monte Carlo present Jean-Christophe Maillot’s elegant version of Romeo and Juliet in Madrid.

Bare sets and slick white screens set the stage for a clean, crisp and modern retelling of the Shakespeare-Prokofiev masterpiece. Northern Ballet’s performance of Jean-Christophe Maillot’s Romeo and Juliet is a reinvigorating take on the tragic love story.

Unveiled in 2014, Jean-Christophe Maillot's The Taming of the Shrew has been an enormous hit in Moscow. Here it received a triumphant London première as part of the Bolshoi's three-week Royal Opera House residency.

Jean-Christophe Maillot’s Roméo et Juliette strips Shakespeare’s classic story of embellishment and leaves a timeless emotional journey. 

Performing their prize winning The Taming of the Shrew in the Dance Open Festival at St Petersburg, this is a new-look Bolshoi company indeed!

The Russian ballerina Galina Ulanova is a true legend in the world of classical ballet. Her dramatic interpretations plumbed deep into the human soul and revealed its full gamut of emotion and poetic beauty.
