Description
The White Ballets is a collection of three beloved ballets that have captivated audiences for centuries. These ethereal tales tell the story of beautiful maidens costumed in flowing white, suspended between heaven and earth. At their core, these stories are about love, fate, and the power of dance. In "Giselle", a young peasant girl's determination to dance is matched only by her fear of death. In "Swan Lake", Prince Siegfried must navigate a curse that threatens to tear him from his true love. And in "La Bayadère", a beautiful temple dancer risks everything for the man she loves. These stories, retold by Rajka Kupesic and illustrated with breathtaking art, offer a glimpse into the magic of these iconic ballets. Notes about the ballets are included, providing insight into their history and significance.
