Program notes
From her early days studying with Claude Bessy up to her coronation as an étoile dancer, enjoy this gorgeous portrait of the spellbinding Aurélie Dupont, current director of the prestigious Paris Opera Ballet. Over the course of three years (2006-09), acclaimed director Cédric Klapisch captures the precise and demanding rhythms of Dupont’s rigorous, regimented daily life.
Klapisch paints a stunning portrait of the highly expressive artist, celebrated for her irreproachable technique and her acting abilities, in qualities both common and extraordinary. Whether she’s simply exchanging ideas with her colleagues or somehow accomplishing the fourteen costume changes required by her role in John Neumeier’s La dame aux camélias, you’ll be enchanted by this behind-the-scenes glimpse at one of the most impressive talents of our day.
