Ballet in three acts after Alexandre Dumas fils, choreography by John Neumeier, music by Frederic Chopin
She burns with life, attracted by the sparkle of diamonds and the glitter of the balls where Paris’ golden youth whirls and swirls. What is this woman’s name? Marguerite Gautier, the courtesan described by Alexandre Dumas fils in La Dame aux camélias? Or Manon Lescaut, the Abbé Prévost’s heroine? For choreographer John Neumeier, these two characters are so similar that he intertwines their destinies by introducing a ballet about Manon into his Dame aux camélias. Thanks to this link, he adds a new dimension allowing us to delve deeper into the psychology of the lovers Marguerite and Armand. To the music of Chopin, intimately interwowen with memories, dreams and reality, the wealth of colours, costumes and ribbons responds to the flood of emotions that overwhelm the characters. These emotions are shared by the audience, won over by the virtuosity and romanticism of this ballet which entered the Paris Opera repertoire in 2006.
