BWW Previews: LE CORSAIRE at Academy Of Music in Philadelphia

By: Scott Serio Mar. 09, 2017

Pennsylvania Ballet Artistic Director Angel Corella is bringing his Marius Petipa-inspired staging of the 19th century ballet Le Corsaire to the Academy of Music in Philadelphia for nine shows over the next two weekends starting Thursday night.

BWW Previews: LE CORSAIRE at Academy Of Music in Philadelphia Image In a press release the ballet is described as "This rollicking, lighthearted production is a feast for the eyes- with exuberant choreography, elaborate costumes, and impeccable set design - but its heart is a touching story about finding true love. Learn what happens when a swashbuckling pirate in search of treasure becomes enamored with a slave girl, sets her free, and seeks their happily ever after."
