This series offers a glimpse into the rehearsals of iconic passages from the third act of the ballet Raymonda, revived for the Paris Opera Ballet School production (season 22/23).
Raymonda's variation : Élisabeth Platel, Director of the Ballet School and Étoile dancer, guides young dancers Tosca Auba, Lilas Parra and Lisa Petit in interpreting Raymonda's famous variation (Act III).
Passing on a legacy... In an interview, Élisabeth Platel sheds light on the genesis of the ballet Raymonda, in which she performed the title role in 1983, when Rudolf Nureyev restaged the ballet for the Paris Opera shortly after being officially appointed as Director of Dance.
