LA PETITE DANSEUSE DE DEGAS

Overview

Given as a world premiere at the Paris Opera House in 2010, La Petite Danseuse de Degas pays tribute to the "dancers' painter"... This ballet by Patrice Bart, who worked as a Ballet master for the Opéra de Paris from 1987 to 2011, stages the young ballerina who posed for Degas's canvas and also for his sculpture The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer, currently exhibited at the Orsay Museum.
