Adolphe Adam's ballet in two acts, 145 min. Production by Yuri Grigorovich. Libretto by Theophile Gautier and Jean-Henry Saint-Georges. Choreography by Jean Coralli, Jules Perrot, Mauris Petipa. Choreographic version - Yuri Grigorovich. Designer - Simon Virsaladze. Music Director - Alexander Kopylov. Lighting Designer - Mikhail Sokolov. This antique ballet was created in the XIX century and still remains one of the crown jewels of the Bolshoy theatre repertoire. The masterpiece of classical romantic choreography came to be in 1841 thanks mostly to immeasurable talents of Carlotta Grizi, a ballerina equally adored by poet and writer Théophile Gautier, librettist Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges, choreographers Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot and composer Adolphe Adan, who created the ballet together as a token of their shared fascination. The story of love that triumphs over death was danced by many great dancers and ballerinas of the world, and to this day remains an inspiration to ballet stars the world over, including principles of the Bolshoi.
