By Inna Pilevich: The country's largest theater prepares the premiere of Le Corsaire ballet. The music was composed by French composer Adolphe Adam. The international team is now working on the production.

Vyacheslav Okunev, a People's Artist of Russia: "We are now rehearsing a scene where a ship is destroyed. It’s a small scene, but there’s a lot of work involved. We will have jumps in the waves, and the mast will also break down. The sails are inflated by fans."

For the Bolshoi Theater this is the third production of Le Corsaire. The Belarusian-Russian team led by the choreographer of the Mariinsky Theater Vyacheslav Khomyakov is working on the new adaptation. For the performance in Minsk, Vyacheslav Khomyakov not only joined the two most famous adaptations by Marius Petipa and Pyotr Gusev, but also added his own variations.

This is one of the grandest performances for the Bolshoi this season. Only the Swan Lake has more soloists. The choreography is in no way easier than in Tchaikovsky's ballet, either. The main character – Medora – will perform 32 fouettes. At the same time, the purity of classical dance should be intertwined with excellent acting.

This captivating story was written more than 150 years ago. The corsair Conrad falls in love with a slave girl –Medora, and together they face a lot of obstacles. There’s mutiny, fights, kidnappings and escape in the story.

The ballet premieres on Saturday.
