19:30. Ballet to the music by Adolphe Adam. 200 min (with two intermissions). Libretto by Jules Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges and Joseph Mazilier edited by Marius Petipa. In English and French with Russian subtitles. This ballet, inspired by Byron’s poem, tells the story of the love between a pirate and a beautiful slave-girl. The action takes place against the backdrop of the open sea, in remote grottoes, amid the hustle and bustle of an eastern bazaar, and the languid luxury of a sultan’s harem. The duels and kidnappings are thrilling, but it is Marius Petipa’s timeless choreography that really delights. This romantic, oriental masterpiece, first performed in Russia in 1858, has been returned to the repertoire by the Mikhailovsky Theatre’s Ballet Master in Chief, Mikhail Messerer.
