• With Roland Petits cool, cabaret-style choreography and chic costumes by Yves Saint Laurent, Notre-Damede Paris has been a modern ballet hit ever since its 1965 premiere. Petitsdeft condensation of Victor Hugos epic and tragic novel is now renewed by twostars of our own time, Roberto Bolle and Natalia Osipova: a stunning tribute toPetits genius after his death in 2011. Petits Esmeralda is a cousin of hislandmark Carmen, and there is no better enfant terrible to play her today thanNatalia Osipova (Financial Times); Bolle manages to instill Quasimodowith a tragic air that is both fierce and tender (Herald Tribune).
