«To create a drama of great passions and romantically strong characters»: restoration of the corsair ballet in leningrad theaters
Abstract
The Corsair ballet is the most important classical ballet of the 19th century. This ballet continued its stage career on the stages of theaters during the Soviet period. The history of the productions of The Corsair in Leningrad is particular interest. The play was not included in the repertoire at the Kirov Theatre from the 1940s to 1973. The version of the ballet staged by M. I. Petipa, edited by A. Ya. Vaganova, was until 1940. The production by K. M Sergeev was staged in 1973. However, attempts to bring ballet back to the stage were constantly being made. The history of the restoration of the ballet is based on archival materials: the archives of Yuri Slonimsky, the Maly Opera and Kirov Theaters of Leningrad.
