Les Ballets Trockadero De Monte Carlo
$44.00; $33.00 members
When Leonide Massine choreographed Gaite Parisienne for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in 1938, he probably never imagined that the colorful female characters in a fashionable Parisian cafe would be danced by male primo ballerinas in size 12- pointe shoes. But the talented and technically masterful dancers — including Margeaux Mundeyn, Ida Nevasayaneva, and Yuriki Sakitumi — of the Trockadero make this classic their own with the same aplomb, nuance, and laugh-out-loud hilarity they pour into all of their lovingly recreated works.
