Le Corsaire

Pollak Theatre

Amidst a bustling Turkish market, the pirate Conrad falls in love at first sight with beautiful Medora, the ward of the slave merchant Lankedem’s bazaar. Conrad kidnaps Medora when Lankedem decides to sell her to the Pasha.

Inspired by Lord Byron’s epic poem and reworked by Alexei Ratmansky from Petipa’s exotic 19th century classic, this miracle of the repertoire is one of the Bolshoi’s most lavish productions. Complete with a magnificent awe-inspiring shipwreck and dramatic scenery, this grand romance allows enough dancing for nearly the entire company and made especially for those who seek miracles in theatre.

Listen to the album beforehand and then come prepared to discuss… there will be special guest moderators and panelists at each event!
This discussion will feature Miles Davis Kind of Blue and the special guests will include: Ashley Kahn, American music historian, journalist, producer, and author of KIND OF BLUE, the making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece; and Jay Sweet, Musician and Adjunct Professor, Monmouth University’s Department of Music and Theatre.
