- Synopsis:
Roland Petits Fledermaus à la française, La Chauve-souris, was originally created for the Ballet National de Marseille in 1979 with Petits wife Zizi Jeanmaire partnered by Denis Ganio and Luigi Bonino as the mastermind of the nocturnal escapades. The action was transferred from the operettas Vienna to the Paris of Vaudeville theatres, which was the original source of Johann Strausss celebrated operetta. Directed by Luigi Bonino, Petits assistant of many years, who also dances the role of Ulrich, it features two more dancing stars from the Petit school in the principal roles: Massimo Murru, the male star dancer of La Scalas company, for whom Petit had written several ballets and Allessandra Ferri, who counts among the finest ballerinas of today. Awarded with the coveted title of Prima Ballerina Assoluta at La Scala, she was once described by Roland Petit as the only rightful successor to legendary Zizi Jeanmaire. - Studio:
