Performer: Guillaume Diop

Paris Opera Ballet tackles a British classic with aplomb but needs to delve deeper into the quintessentially British humour and charm.

Two years after the death of Patrick Dupond, the Paris Opera Ballet paid tribute to him in a sumptuous gala evening, with the procession of the Ballet’s stars and the the performance of three of Dupond’s most emblematic works.

Le célèbre ballet créé en 1876 au Palais Garnier fait son entrée au répertoire de l'Opéra national de Paris dans une version « rétro » signée Manuel Legris qui peine à convaincre.
