Program notes
Discover Le Parc, Angelin Preljocaj’s legendary ballet, commissioned by the Paris Opera in 1994 and now a mainstay in the repertoire of companies worldwide, especially famous for the breathtakingly beautiful pas de deux that features an extended midair kiss.
Drawing his inspiration from Mozart's music, Preljocaj explores the subtleties of seduction in an idyllic French garden, with costumes influenced by the Enlightenment period. Soloists Alice Renavand and Mathieu Ganio glide voluptuously through a universe of contrasts, drawn between the classicism of the music, the resolute modernity of the choreography, the incisive geometry of the sets, and the virtuosic lighting design by Jacques Châtelet.
