“Bolero and Suite en Blanc” ballet night to delight Hanoians

For the first time, the famous choreographer of the English National Ballet Theatre, Le Ngoc Van, has choreographed two famous works, "Bolero" and "Suite en Blanc", for a ballet night at the Hanoi Opera House on October 17 and 18.

Choreographer Ngoc Van is expected to thoroughly exploit the creative power of the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet (VNOB) dancers to bring an aesthetic work of art to the audience.

“Bolero” is a play that shows simplicity but power from beginning to end. The audience will get to witness the power of the artists through their simple but inspirational ballet moves.

Through the ballet moves, the audience will be able to see a mix of different characters, naive but also provocative, thrilling but equally elegant.

VNOB will also stage the full version of “Suite en Blanc” created by Le Ngoc Van, from which a small excerpt was performed by the English National Ballet Theatre in 2017.

“Suite en Blanc” is a non-plot of the script, simply showing the beauty of ballet. With solo, duo and trio performances, the group of dancers will create gentle, elegant ballet moves on the white background of the entire work with melody composed by composer Leo Delibes.

The romantic ballet shows the beauty, perfection and elegance of the classical ballet language through the strong and powerful body language of male and female artists.
