Boston Ballet’s 53rd season begins with the North American premiere of Ivan Liška’s adventure and romance-filled Le Corsaire. The narrative follows a beautiful maiden, a wealthy aristocrat determined to add her to his harem, and a dashing pirate even more resolved to save her. Le Corsaire features grand corps de ballet scenes, lavish costumes, and sweeping, romantic music performed live by the Boston Ballet Orchestra.
Le Corsaire is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes with 1 intermission.
