For the first time in BIu-ray, BeI Air Classiques present Petipa s extravaganza, The Pharaoh s Daughter, in the stunning production by Pierre Lacotte. Recreating the spectacuIar sumptuousness of the original, the ballet teIls the tale of a young Englishman who dreams he eIopes with a Pharaoh s daughter. Despite a desert storm, a lion hunt and an attempted suicide, the coupIe finally wins the Pharaoh s bIessing to their marriage. From its creation in 1862, Petipa s grandiose ballet was a sensationaI success: its stupendous costumes and striking scenery, its exotica, romanticism and drama appealing to audiences as much as the virtuoso choreography. |
