“Le Corsaire is all about dancing fireworks” — The Times
An exotic fable of a dashing pirate’s love for a beautiful harem girl, Hong Kong Ballet’s première of Le Corsaire features captive maidens, rich pashas, suspenseful abductions, dramatic rescues and a poisoned rose, culminating in an unexpected shipwreck that’s one of the most breathtaking spectacles in all of ballet! Based on The Corsair by Lord Byron and choreographed by Anna-Marie Holmes, former Artistic Director of Boston Ballet, this exhilarating production is full of adventure, action, comedy, and romance with a famous pas de trois from its colourful cast of characters!
Holmes won an Emmy Award for her staging of Le Corsaire for American Ballet Theatre (ABT) on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)’s ‘Great Performances’. We are also honoured to have our dancers coached by Julio Bocca, Artistic Director of Ballet Nacional Sodre and former Principal Dancer of ABT. Le Corsaire’s showcase of virtuoso ballet techniques, with bravura roles for men, feisty female characters and jubilant group dances, is a standout in classical repertoire. Love worth having is love worth fighting for!
《海盜》講述瀟洒海盜與美艷婢女的愛情故事，被俘虜的婢女們、有錢帕夏官，加上一支毒玫瑰，拼湊成驚險的綁架和峰迴路轉的營救之旅，最後突如其來的海難將故事推至高潮，成就芭蕾劇目當中最蔚為奇觀的一幕！香港芭蕾舞團首次演出這充滿異國風情的經典舞劇《海盜》，由前波士頓芭蕾舞團藝術總監賀姆斯編舞，冒險、動作、喜劇、浪漫共冶一爐，人物角色豐富鮮明，著名的三人舞更讓人引頸以待！
賀姆斯的《海盜》曾被美國芭蕾舞劇院上演，並收錄於美國公共電視網節目《偉大的表演》中；她亦憑此奪得艾美獎。今次舞團很榮幸邀得烏拉圭索德爾國家芭蕾舞團藝術總監兼美國芭蕾舞劇院前首席舞蹈員朱里奧．波卡來港指導。改編自拜倫勳爵的同名作品，《海盜》讓舞蹈員盡情炫技、男舞蹈員角色突出、女舞蹈員朝氣十足，加上興高采烈的群舞，毋疑是齣卓爾非凡的古典劇目。今年十一月，為愛而戰！
