The story takes place in Naples where Pulcinella is a local rogue with an eye for the girls.
Pulcinella
Rambert Dance
Ballet
With choreography by legendary French dancer and ballet master, Marius Petipa, Paquita is a wonderful display of triumphant leaps, intricate footwork and movement at its best.
Originally choreographed for the Paris Opéra Ballet in 1846 by Joseph Mazilier, the story centers on a Spanish gypsy named Paquita, who saves the life of Lucien, a French aristocrat. When she discovers that she is herself of noble blood, they marry in a big celebration.
This performance acts as a sparkling showcase for the Australian Ballet.
