THE SLEEPING BEAUTY
Rudolf Nureyev often called this the 'ballet of ballets. Set to Tchaikovsky's wonderful score, it is the most accomplished and one of the most spectacular of the 19th-century ballets, and the most representative of the 'nable' style of classical dancing. Nureyev's version, created for the Opéra Ballet in 1989, was recorded in a new production at the Opéra Bastille in 1999. The principal roles are danced by Aurélie
Dupont and Manuel Legris

Between 1917 and 1962. Picasso was involved in creating the designs for nine ballets in collaboration with such artists as Jean Cocteau, Erik Satie, Igor Stravinsky, Claude Debussy, Léonide Massine and Vaslav Nijinsky, Le Train Bleu dates from 1924 and Le Tricome from 1919. These two historic ballets created originally by Sergei Diaghilev, have been revived by the Paris Opera Ballet.
An accompanying documentary by Didier Baussy Oulianoff, THE STORY OF A MARRIAGE, traces the story of Picasso's involvement with designs for ballet.
LE TRAIN BLEU (The Blue Train) Le Train Bleu is an operetta dansé of a chic and flippant society. Jean Cocteau, who wrote the scenario, mockingly celebrates the cult of open air life, fine bodies and sport. The dances are inspired by golf, tennis, swimming and acrobatics, with principal roles danced by Elisabeth Maurin, Nicholas Le Riche. Clotilde Vayer and Laurent Quéval

LE TRICORNE (The Three-Cornered Hat)
Le Tricorne is Spanish from start to finish. Picasso, a native of Andalusia, created sets, costumes, and a stage curtain. The story, told with humour and warmth, is of a miller's wife, her jealous husband and a senile magistrate by whom she is pursued. The dancers are Kader Belarbi Françoise Legrée, Fabrice Bourgeois, Eric Quillère and Nathalie Riqué.
