The Firebird and Bolero

The Ballet de l'Opéra Grand Avignon invites you on an intense journey. On the bill are twelve performers, two major works and two fresh choreographic approaches.
Hervé Koubi's Boléro is a blend of urban dance and ballet, and his nuanced version thwarts traditional clichés - martial rhythm versus bewitching melody, masculine versus feminine - to become "a hymn to reunion through dance". The title of Edouard Hue's L'Oiseau de Feu (The Firebird) is in keeping with his signature brilliance and energy. The choreographer's virtuoso movements are set against a spellbinding visual backdrop, like the great golden flags flying through the space. For aficionados of movement and music, the Ballet de l'Opéra Grand Avignon raises the colours!
