Two Bolshoi Theater classics in Gaumont Toulouse cinemas

–

The Gaumont Wilson and Labège cinemas in Toulouse invite you to discover the two shows at the Bolshoi Theater: Swan Lake and Pharaoh’s Daughter.

Tchaikovsky’s must-see Swan Lake by the Bolshoi Ballet will be on view on Sunday March 6 in the Pathé and Gaumont cinemas, as part of the Bolshoi Ballet’s 21/22 season at the cinema. It will close on Sunday May 1 at 5 p.m. with La Fille du Pharaon, a forgotten treasure from the repertoire reassembled by Pierre Lacotte for the Bolshoi Ballet.

Sunday March 6 at 4 p.m.: SWAN LAKE

There is probably no ballet as popular as this one: since its creation in 1877, the upset idyll of the swan-woman Odette and her Prince Siegfried has not ceased to move generations of audiences. The 21/22 season of the Bolshoi Ballet at the cinema offers the opportunity to see this masterpiece of the repertoire interpreted by the famous Moscow company. The cast will be led by star Olga Smirnova, who will play the dual role of Odette/Odile, alongside Italian Jacopo Tissi, recently promoted to Principal Dancer at the Bolshoi.

Sunday 1 May at 5 p.m.: THE PHARAOH’S DAUGHTER

Entirely reconstructed by the choreographer Pierre Lacotte for the Bolshoi two decades ago, Marius Petipa’s first great ballet will close the 21/22 season at the cinema live from the historic stage of the Theatre. With La Fille du Pharaon, a ballet in 3 acts with music by Cesare Pugni, the company presents a grandiose production that transports the public to a phantasmagorical Ancient Egypt. An English lord on a trip to the land of the Pharaohs finds refuge in a pyramid after a sandstorm, and in which rests the tomb of Princess Aspicia. Cradled by opium smoke, he becomes Ta-hor and Aspicia comes to life, leading him on incredible adventures.
