Agnès Letestu, José Martinez, Karl Paquette & Muriel Hallé Paris Opera Ballet & Paris Opera Orchestra, Vello Pähn (Musical Director) Agnès Letestu, a feminine and warm Odette, and José
Martinez, a convincing, pale, vulnerable prince Siegfried,
are the stars of this deeply passionate, ‘dream’ version
of Swan Lake. Rudolf Nureyev’s interpretation of
Tchaikovsky’s lyrical ballet, far from being a clichéd
stereotype, is an exposé of astonishingly powerful and
recognisable human emotions. Under the inspired and
clear-cut musical direction of Vello Pähn, this
production is one of the jewels of the Paris Opera
Ballet’s repertoire. It brilliantly displays the meticulous
precision, technical prowess and pure, unmannered
style of the company’s unrivalled female corps de ballet. | ‘…their [Agnès Letestu & José Martinez] dancing was sensational, and Letestu in particular was magnificent.
She was soft, lyrical yet aristocratic as Odette, as befits her slender, long-limbed body and her mime scene was
of intense beauty. …Letestu is outstanding as Odile, both in her technical prowess and artistic interpretation.’ Culture Kiosque |
