Angel Corella Corsario

This programme has Le Corsaire, a tribute to Barishnikov and Nureyev, and has made him a dance star around the world. The difficulty of the choreography in Le Corsaire, as must in any classical repertoire, has made it a mythical role for world class ballet dancers.

For Corella Le Corsaire is a big test  for a male ballet dancer, as if Swan Lake for a ballerina. He said “classical dancing is similar to making a suit: if you don’t get it just right, you can tell.” But we are pretty sure it will be all right.
