This grandiose epic is one of Khachaturian’s most famous works and has been considered one of the greats ballets in the Bolshoi repertoire since the 1960s.

Le Corsaire is a ballet in three acts loosely based on the long poem by Lord Byron.

It is a swashbuckling romantic tale of the rescue of a beautiful slave from her tyrannical master by a handsome pirate, featuring some of ballet’s most famous sequences.

Tickets for Bolshoi Ballet screenings cost £13/£12(concessions) and can be booked at The Dukes Box Office on 01524 59850.
