Le Corsaire performed by American Ballet Theatre
Another great ballet performance by ABT. Le Corsaire has many subplots, so it can be hard to follow, but the main story line is the love story between Medora (danced beautifully with Julie Kent) and Conrad (danced with enthusiasm by Ethan Stiefel). Stiefel also stars in the movie Center Stage. The dancing is simply amazing and the ballet is action-packed from beginning to end. Excerpts from the Act II pas de deux can also be seen on the video Nureyev and Fonteyn: A Perfect Partnership. This performance is filled with ballet stars (ABT's Principal Dancers) including Angel Corella, Paloma Herrera, Vladimr Nalakhov and Gillian Murphy. A must see!
