	Paris Opera Ballet = Lifar - Marc Haegeman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		He was an influential dancer and a prolific choreographer, a notable dance theoretician and a tireless crusader for the values of neoclassical ballet, he had a keen eye for spotting talent, knew as none else how to bring out the personalities of his dancers and successfully reinvigorated the company’s repertory and its standard.
		Yet for all that, the man is now more myth than reality, his ballets are often excused as passé, and unfortunately the public rarely ever comes to see anything substantial of his work outside of anniversaries or other special occasions.
		With his first creation for the Paris Opera, “L’Envol d’Icare” set to the magnificent “Concert for Piano and Strings” by Alfred Schnittke, there was no question of doing Lifar over again, even if the title clearly refers to the old master’s famous “Icare”.

		Traditional opera consists of two modes of singing: recitative, the dialogue and plot-driving passages often sung in a non-melodic style characteristic of opera, and aria, during which the movement of the plot often stops and the music and the singers focus on one topic using full voice.
		The bel canto opera movement flourished in the early 19th century and is exemplified by the operas of Rossini, Bellini, and Donizetti.
		Verdi's operas resonated with the growing spirit of Italian nationalism in the post-Napoleonic era, and he quickly became an icon of the nationalist movement (although his own politics were perhaps not quite so radical).

		Other influential teachers of Platel were Pierre Lacotte, who worked with her in the Paris Opera School and Raymond Franchetti, who owned a studio where the budding dancer was able to watch professional artists taking class, among others soloists from the Paris Opera like Noëlla Pontois, or guest stars like Rudolf Nureyev.
		In 1976 Elisabeth Platel was engaged in the Paris Opera Ballet, as "quadrille" in the corps de ballet.

		Spending a short week in the French capital may give an idea of how fortunate the Parisian ballet-lover really is. The Paris Opera Ballet is one of the rare classical companies that is able to offer two full-length ballets on the same evening, in two different theaters in town.
		This ballet, in its careful reconstruction by Pierre Lacotte (1972), is of capital historical importance and may still count as a lesson in evocative power and theatrical magic.
		The ballet inspired, of cours,e Bournonville who created his own version (set to new music) for Copenhagen in 1836, a version which eventually overshadowed its model in fame.

		The next pleasant surprise was to discover that a huge group of POB dancers and students was sitting right behind me, employing their considerable vocal skills throughout with undiluted enthusiasm.
		M. Thibault, on the other hand, is a dancer whose career has appeared to stall; his official status is that of sujet, but his reputation is such that it is no exaggeration to describe him as one of the most admired dancers in Europe, hence the extreme interest from all quarters in Sunday’s performance.
		This I think may have accounted for some ragged lines amongst the corps de ballet in the second act and rather lack lustre performances from some of the soloists who had danced the same roles several times on the trot.

	Paris Opera, Ballet & Contemporary Dance
		The sumptuous and prestigious Paris Opera building, designed by Charles Garnier in 1861 and completed in 1875, is one of the largest theatre venues in the world.
		A lavish epitaph to the manic architectural activities of the Second Empire under Napoleon III, and aptly described as a "triumph of molded pastry," it lent a suitable image to the frivolity and materialism of the so-called naughty Eighties and Nineties.
		Before the Bastille Opera opened, and with the Garnier's transition to an all-dance programme, the TMP was the only Parisian venue offering a complete programme of high-quality opera.

	Paris Opera Ballet -- Giselle
		"Giselle" was first produced in Paris 162 years ago and last week I travelled to the city of its birth to enjoy a couple of performances in the Paris Opera Ballet’s current run.
		The Paris Opera Ballet doesn’t give bad performances, only varying degrees of good and this was a very good performance.
		Pujol’s Giselle is a carefree village girl experiencing all the joys of first love, and the object of her affections, Le Riche, passes so effortlessly as a fellow peasant that it is easy to understand her lack of suspicion.

		PARIS -- I've never seen anything like what I saw Friday at the Garnier, when Pina Bausch's 1975 take on Igor Stravinsky's "Le Sacre du Printemps" was channelled by the Paris Opera Ballet, the only company besides her own that Bausch has allowed to perform the work.
		And this choreographer -- well, as Pina primer, this ballet is evidence that at the root of this tanz-theater master is a dancer and choreographer.
		The POB dancers interpreting this ballet Friday seemed to be going for the "happy-go-lucky, carefree" American sensibility, particularly in their constant grins.

	Paris Opera Ballet Review from Ballet.co
		The exciting thing about the Paris Opera Ballet’s programming is that it doesn’t timorously rely on the standard international menu of classics and twentieth century blockbusters; it introduces new works to stimulate the dancers and challenge the audience.
		One was by an established choreographer whose work we see too little in Britain, John Neumeier (in a ballet created for the Paris Opera Ballet in 1997); the other by one of the Paris Opera Ballet’s leading performers, Kader Belarbi (a revision of a ballet created in 2002).
		In this ballet, too, the corps were sometimes used as a chorus, at times as an extension of Catherine, especially in the second part where the female corps acts as Wuthering Wilis, tormented spirits of the dead Catherine.

		Having seen Isabel Guerin and Laurent Hilaire as the lead couple in both Nureyev's La Bayadère and Angelin Preljocaj's Le Parc as performed by the Paris Opera Ballet on July 2 and 3, what struck me first was the particular quality of the arabesques of both these dancers, and the rest of the company.
		Even in the "gardener's" dances (four men in leather aprons and goggles, who danced to sampled electronic voices and music, rather than Mozart) the four corners implicit in the choreography were echoed in the stage space.
		It's why opera houses exist, and even, 120 years later, why Le Parc was created on the scale it was.

		Etoiles celebrates the legacy of the Paris Opera Ballet by weaving together rehearsals and tour snapshots of classical ballets such as Swan Lake and La Sylphide and contemporary works such as Maurice Bejart's Ninth Symphony, Jiri Kylian's Doux Mensonge (Sweet Lies) and Pierre Darde's Orison.
		Opera house management, longtime teachers, young students and the company's established stars also give perspectives on how and why they endure the emotional and physical hardship of their profession and their drive to be on stage.
