Lisa Macuja-Elizalde continues her Swan Song Series as Ballet Manila stages Le Corsaire this October 4-6, 2013, 7:30 PM at the Aliw Theater.

This ballet features pirates, exotic locales, damsels in distress, enchanting music by Adolphe Adam along with a bunch of others who are also credited for composing the music and explosive dancing. In this production, prima ballerina Lisa Macuja-Elizalde bids farewell to the role of Medora.

Performances on October 4, 2013, 7:30 PM and October 6, 2013, 3:00 PM will feature live accompaniment by the Manila Symphony Orchestra under the baton of guest conductor Alexander Vikulov of the Mariinsky Theater.

One of the highlights to watch out for in this ballet is the popular pas de trois featuring Conrad the pirate, Medora, and the slave Ali. But my favorite part in Le Corsaire has got to be the bedroom pas de deux of Conrad and Medora which brings chills to my spine.

Ballet Manila’s Le Corsaire is presented by the Manila Broadcasting Company and Star City. It is also made possible by First United Travel, Ralph’s Wines and Spirits, Island Rose, Pride Powder and SEAIR.
