OPENING SHOW<br />
in collaboration with the MONTREAL HIGH LIGHTS Festival and<br />
THE LYON OPERA BALLET<br />
Boléro et autres lumières sur Ravel<br />
Director: Yorgos Loukos<br />
For the opening show, the Lyon Opera Ballet will present Boléro et autres lumières sur<br />
Ravel. Three pieces will be performed: Gaspar, choreographed by Tero Saarinen, is<br />
somewhat of an X-ray of the mind of a man. At first sweet and charming, the piece<br />
evolves into a passionate drama of seduction. Based on the minuet from Tombeau<br />
de Couperin and Pavane pour une infante défunte, Un Ballo is an extraordinary musical<br />
exercise between partners, a dance for dance itself and a marriage by choreographer<br />
Jirí Kylián of those two timeless pieces of music. In Boléro, the centerpiece for<br />
this fascinating tribute to Ravel, a “filter” of screens and curtains reduces and expands<br />
the sensation of space.<br />
