Ballet Esmeralda libretto is based on Victor Igo world -famous novel Our Lady of Paris Cathedral.

Ballet Esmeralda There is a simple and powerful story of love and death. Archidiacon of Our Lady of Paris Cathedral Claude Frolo covets the beautiful Esmeralds, but the girl does not attract the attention of the priest, but the executive Captain Phoeb. The church caller Quazimodo is also special about Esmeralds. When jealousy, Frolo is injuring Feba, the incident is blamed for Esmeralda, who is threatened by the death penalty. The only one who will continue to truly love Esmeralda by the end of his life will be the unfortunate quasimodo.
“I’m sure classical ballet is the backbone for any big, high -quality ballet troupe. That’s why I have chosen Esmeraldu – A monumental classical ballet show with a story that addresses the audience. I have tried to create a modern, dynamic classic ballet with a busy storyline, active action and very juicy characters. Our Esmeralda must be a dramatic actress with the perfect classical dance technique. Special artistic expression is for men: the prohibited passionate Claude Frolo, the beautiful and elegant Feb, who is a frequent guest in Paris brothels, is subordinate to the Quazimodo, who is born with sudden feelings of Esmeralds and the naive poet Grenguar. For the first time in our ballet, Diana and Akteon PAS created by Agripin’s Vaganova De Deux, What is shown as a mythologized scene at the party – another bright duet, ”says Aivars Leimanis, the artistic director of the Latvian National Ballet. EsmeraldaHe worked with choreographer Elza Leiman, combining academically classic with contemporary ballet language in the new performance.
