Mercutio
Mats Ek and the Royal Swedish Opera present a new take on a classic story and ballet
Oberon
Based on the play A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, a choreographic film by Jean-Christophe Maillot. Gorgeous dancing – and wildly imaginative sets and costumes – bring to vivid life the ecstatic, elegant eroticism in Shakespeare‘s classic fantasy. Recorded at The Grimaldi Forum Monaco, 2009.
Much more than just an homage to Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, Jean-Christophe Maillot’s vision of Scheherazade resonates as an exploration of the artistic universe that shaped his thirty-year-long career. Léon Bakst’s sets and Michel Fokine’s original choreography inspire this fascinating 2011 reinterpretation.
