Hi! We will write (at some point) a fact card on Le Corsaire but given that you have little time and you are going today, here is a synopsis: http://bit.ly/bNps49
The good thing about the Bolshoi’s production is that Ratmansky and Burlaka made sure that the storytelling was clear. I took a friend yesterday and without telling her much she was able to follow the narrative.

Enjoy Osipova+Vasiliev. I’ll be there so if around please say hi!

Can you shed any light on the storyline of Le Corsaire please? I am going to see the Bolshoi production tonight and am not familiar at all. Wikipedia wasn’t much use other than background. Thank you ballet fans.

Let us know in case you are looking for more info on other versions. We intend to do a fact card for Ashton’s The Dream in due course.

Best,
