Ballet music is rarely performed in concerts. And yet, the genre is full of masterpieces. While some may remember the scores of composers such as Delibes (Coppélia), Stravinsky (The Rite of Spring) and Prokofiev (Romeo and Juliet), Tchaikovsky stands out as one of the most inspired composers of dance music, particularly for the French choreographer Marius Petipa. Their collaboration produced The Sleeping Beauty (1890), The Nutcracker (1892) and Swan Lake (1895). The Orchestre National de Lyon (Lyon National Orchestra) offers an exceptional insight into the world of ballet.

Programme: Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, excerpts from the ballets The Nutcracker, The Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake.

Cast: Orchestre National de Lyon; Paul Connelly, conductor; Dorothée Gilbert, Étoile of the Paris Opera Ballet; NN, dancer.
