Notre Dame de Paris in Saint Petersburg, Mikhailovsky Theater

Please note that the cast may change.

Director: Roland Petit

The ballet "Notre Dame de Paris" at the Mikhailovsky Theatre is an outstanding work by choreographer Roland Petit, based on the novel of the same name by Victor Hugo. In 2024, in honor of the centenary of Petit's birth, the theater included this work in its program, giving viewers the opportunity to enjoy the classics of world ballet. The performance tells the tragic fates of the four main characters: Esmeralda, Quasimodo, Frollo and Phoebus.

The premiere of the ballet "Notre Dame de Paris" took place in 1965 on the stage of the Paris Opera and was met with great success. Roland Petit's choreography, Maurice Jarre's music, Yves Saint Laurent's costumes and René Alliot's sets created a unique combination that became the standard for subsequent productions. The first performer of the part of Quasimodo was Petit himself, which added special significance to the production.

In 2021, Luigi Bonino, a friend and assistant of Roland Petit, brought the ballet to Novosibirsk. It is this performance of the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theater that will be shown on the stage of the Mikhailovsky Theater. Bonino, as the keeper of Petit's traditions, managed to preserve the original concept and spirit of the production, which allows the audience to feel the full depth and drama of the work.
