The passionate tale of Marguerite Gautier and Armand Duval unfolds ingeniously through a drama-within-a-drama as they meet at the theatre during a performance of Manon Lescaut. So begin their romantic adventures in Paris, brought to life by Neumeier's intense and refined choreographic language. Chopin's ravishing music highlights this exceptional neo-classical ballet, featuring the star dancers of the Paris Opéra Ballet. This lavish production, filmed live at the Palais Garnier in High Definition and full surround sound, is all about love, passion, danger and glorious dancing from one of the best ballet companies in the world.Press Reviews"John Neumeier has created a ballet in which emotions go crescendo...Agnès Letestu, the great dramatic heroine, triumphs in this ballet danced to music by Chopin." (Le Figaro) "A full length ballet which does justice to the Dumas novel on which La traviata is more loosely based. John Neumeier's poetic choreography is blessed with Agnès Letestu's Marguerite." (BBC Music Magazine)"This production of Neumeier's ballet La Dame aux Camélias is a glorious achievement, beautifully captured on DVD under the expert direction of Thomas Grimm. It is also a traditional narrative ballet at its best: the romantic, tragic love story is eloquently told, the costumes are gorgeous, the dancers excellent, Chopin's music is luminous and Neumeier's choreography is as ever beautifully original yet purely classical in its discreet but stylish elegance. If you like the great classical ballets of the past, like Giselle or Swan Lake, if you love John Cranko's amazing story ballets, like Onegin or The Taming of the Shrew; then you will adore John Neumeier's La Dame aux Camélias. I simply loved it and would recommend it whether one is a hopeless romantic or not!"

Cansaram da Giselle e do Lago dos Cisnes. A trupe quer se mostrar antenada com a atualidade. Fazer coisas diferentes, fugir do clássico. Para isso, não precisou cair na dança abstrata, onde o público assiste a tudo e não entende nada. Acharam um grande compositor (Chopin) e tentaram casar sua música com uma conhecida história (A Dama das Camélias) . O resultado é um balé desigual, com momentos mágicos e algumas futilidades. Produziram um balé novo, moderno. Saíram da mesmice. A história ficou popular com o sucesso do livro homônino e com a ópera La Traviata, de Verdi. Os parisienses resolveram fazer dessa afamada história um balé: pegaram várias músicas de Chopin, principalmente de piano e tentaram adaptá-las, fazê-las ficarem dançantes e o principal, se encaixarem na história da cortesã. O resultado é estranho, algumas vezes interessante , outras cafona e de gosto duvidoso.A qualidade da dança do balé da Ópera de Paris é inquestionável: 300 anos de história fazem seus bailarinos estarem em alto nível. Agnés Letestu é bailarina étoile (grau máximo do balé francês), de grande técnica, dramaticidade plena e forte carisma. Conheci seus passos no Lago dos Cisnes, de Tchaikovsky, me apaixonei pela guria. Não é raquítica, tem muita bailarina anoréxica por aí, parecendo doente de tão magra. Dança com a leveza inerente às bailarinas francesas. Faz uma Violeta (no vídeo eles mudam os nomes dos personagens, sei lá por que) frágil e apaixonada. Brilha nos pas de deux com seu par romântico Stéphane Bullion, (esse é premier danseur, um nível abaixo de étoile), longos , cansativos (para os bailarinos), sensuais, apaixonantes. São o ponto alto do espetáculo. Demonstram toda a técnica dos bailarinos, uma aula de balé.John Neumeier transita entre o clássico e o moderno em sua coreografia. Criativo, mistura passos simples com outros de alta dificuldade técnica. O palco cênico carece de cenários, conta sua história apenas pela dança. Obriga os bailarinos a atuarem, embute no meio da história trechos do balé Manon Lescaut, entrelaçando a vida das duas personagens. Idéia criativa. Temos nessa hora um par de grandes dançarinos: Delphine Moussin (étoile) e José Martinez (étoile) arrasam nesse pequeno papel. Mostram as facetas desesperadas de seus personagens.Tudo é passado em La Dame aux Camélias, a história é contada pela memória dos que a vivenciaram. Violeta está morta, todos tem lembranças dela e vão contando sua versão. A coreografia peca nas danças rápidas. A música escolhida fica superficial, sem profundidade.Piano nem sempre combina com dança. Os cenários são quase inexistentes, o palco limpo se alia a figurinos sóbrios, de época, que transmitem a idéia de século XIX.O DVD possuí um longo documentário, com entrevistas legendadas dos bailarinos e produtores. A imagem é de excelente qualidade. A direção de vídeo capta com destreza os momentos cruciais da obra, e, com recursos atuais, poderiam ser mais ousados, aproximar mais o espectador do palco.O balé da Ópera de Paris prova que é possível fazer balé moderno contando grandes histórias. Não é necessário abrir mão da técnica, da dança, da beleza e da magia do balé para tal feito. Não caem na tentação de fazer coreografias sem nexo, muitas vezes de técnica capenga, para se mostrarem modernos ou descolados. La Dame aux Camélias é um balé moderno com elementos clássicos em sua concepção; pode ter momentos decepcionantes, mas no geral sua coreografia é de bom nível. Que isso sirva de exemplo para outras companhias do mundo.Ali Hassan Ayache ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best ballet video and best acting in any genre period! *by M***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2021* The most intense beautifully danced and acted story ballet and narrative I've ever seen live or taped. Multi year balletomane US based we don't see this over here. I'll let 17th C poet John Donne speak first from his aptly named poem the Ecstasy:Our hands were firmly cementedWith a fast balm, which thence did spring;Oue eye-beams twisted, and did threadOur eyes upon one double string;So to intergraft our hands as yetWas all the means to make us one...The choeography followsthe above poem exactly. The leads bely more than mere chemistry-their souls' yearnings pierce each other at first sight and the naked palpable desire of fetching and boyishly handsome Bullion's Armand contrasts immediately with the jaded yet kind and curious Marguerite of Letestu. She thinks with her enticing smile and come hither eyes she can toy with this pup...but he will have none of that and his ardor and her reciprocity electrifies and transforms them forever toward their bittersweet tragic end. Letestu is profound and sadly beautiful; her character has seen and known all yet rediscovers depths she didn't know she had. More like Garbo's Camille or Verdi's Violetta than an ingenue her beautiful austere face lends gravitas to the impetuous and gorgeous Armand of Bullion. All this acting plus and bravura dancing too by all the stellar cast is superb. I particular like sparkling Dorothee Gilbert's Prudence. The Neumeier tour de force of wrapping two tragic courtesan tales as foreshadowing is brilliant; he offers excellent commentary in the bonus documentary. Flawless dancing and tear-inducing acting deliver a poignant yet sumptuous and colorful visual and aural feast...Chopin romantic music is feverishly perfect. I've seen all ballets and operas of Camille and Manon and this will be seen over and over; it will entice and entrance you! Bravo Paris Opera Ballet, Neumeier and especially soul searing astounding leads Letestu and Bullion!💞💕💔💖 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific ballet in every way *by C***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 31, 2018* The music is sublime, the choreography explicit and beautifully stylish and the performances by the two principals almost faultless. This ballet is pretty unique in making huge demands on the male lead, which is a delight to see; in so many classical ballets, the male role is more to 'show-off' and support the female lead, but in La Dame aux Camelias, the male roles are every bit as demanding as the female roles. Interestingly we had just seen the ballet performed by the Bolshoi so purchasing this Paris Opera production was a bit of a gamble, but, if anything, the Paris production was as good as or better than the Bolshoi. A lovely production in every way and one that we will watch many times. First class recording with fabulous sound and picture quality on blu-ray. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/11100341-chopin-la-dame-aux-camelias-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/11100341-chopin-la-dame-aux-camelias-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
