Opening Night

Following its Autumn tour, the English National Ballet's new production of Le Corsaire opened at the Coliseum last night. This epic, energetic Russian ballet is based on Lord Byron's poem Le Corsair, and tells the story of a dashing pirate and his love for the beautiful harem girl, Medora.
The set and costumes were designed by Hollywood film designer Bob Ringwood, (of Batman, Alien 3, Star Trek Nemesis, Ali and Troy fame), and are eye-catching and evocative.
