Agnès Letestu and José Martinez are the stars of this deeply passionate, ‘dream’ version of Rudolf Nureyev’s Swan Lake under the inspired and clear-cut musical direction of Vello Pähn. This production, one of the jewels of the Paris Opera Ballet’s repertoire brilliantly displays the meticulous precision, technical prowess and pure, unmannered style of the company’s unrivalled female corps de ballet.

Reviews
‘…their 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
