Roland Petit's ballet 'Notre-Dame de Paris', with the Opera de Paris Ballet and Orchestra, at Gloucester Guildhall.
The Paris Opera Ballet bring Notre-Dame de Paris to Gloucester Guildhall on Tuesday 16 March, as part of the venue's Event Cinema programme. It's a screening of Roland Petit's ballet, based on Victor Hugo's novel, so you'll see the full production on the big screen in The Chamber rather than a live company on stage.
Petit's version is described as a vivid and theatrical fresco of colour and intensity, one that blends neoclassical dance with the spirit of music hall. He didn't work alone on it; he surrounded himself with some of the leading creative talents of the time. Maurice Jarre provided the music, René Allio designed the sets, and Yves Saint Laurent did the costumes, which Petit wanted to be "as colourful as the stained glass windows of a cathedral."
On screen, the principal roles are danced by Amandine Abisson as Esmeralda, Hugo Marchand as Quasimodo, Pablo Legasa as Frollo, and Antonio Conforti as Phoebus, with the Paris Opera Corps de Ballet and the Paris Opera Orchestra filling out the rest. The performance runs for 90 minutes, so it's a fairly tight evening.
