Screening direct from Paris, an all-star new performance of Verdi’s lush and gripping drama. A masquerade ball may seem like the place to be for a party, but its costumes and disguises can also encourage intrigue. Verdi’s opera was inspired by the assassination of King Gustav III of Sweden at a ball in 1792. But to avoid the scandal of representing a regicide on stage, Verdi set the story in America, focusing on the impossible love between Riccardo (Matthew Polenzani), the governor of Boston, and
Amelia (Anna Netrebko), the wife of his unforgiving best friend, Renato (Ludovic Tézier). Blending lightness and seriousness, Verdi's music was a hit from the moment it premiered in Rome in 1859. Director Gilbert Deflo keeps the American setting but moves it to the time of Lincoln to better confront the world of reason and morality with that of intuition and belief.

Encore Screenings! ‘What has become of love today?’ asked Angelin Preljocaj in 1994, when he created Le Parc for the Paris Opera Ballet. Thirty years later, the world has changed again, but his timeless ballet has travelled around the world. In a French-style garden, the choreography draws us into the seduction games of the Grand Siècle and the Age of Enlightenment, appealing to our classical musical and literary imagination: famous works by Mozart, the Map of Tendre, Dangerous Liaisons. But Preljocaj breaks with tradition by introducing a contemporary soundtrack and a choreographic language composed of broken lines and sensual movements. Like the final pas de deux, where the bodies whirl around for a languorous kiss: a moment of grace that has become the signature of this ballet.
