Event information
The Youth Russian Ballet Company is proud to present 'Le Jardin Animé' – the legendary jewel scene from the Romantic ballet 'Le Corsaire' – alongside other breathtaking excerpts from this classic, including the iconic 'Pas de Deux of Medora and Conrad'.
'Le Corsaire' is one of the great treasures of the classical ballet repertoire; a sweeping romantic epic of pirates, love, and adventure. At its heart lies 'Le Jardin Animé' (The Enchanted Garden), a scene of extraordinary beauty where the world holds its breath. Set to the melodic brilliance of Léo Delibes, this production showcases the exquisite symmetry and refined Vaganova technique for which YRBC is renowned.
Taking the stage as guest soloist is Revil Yon, Principal Dancer of the Joburg Ballet company, performing alongside YRBC soloist Karmia Postma. They pair present the iconic and deeply passionate 'Pas de Deux of Medora and Conrad', one of the most celebrated duets in classical ballet.
