Ballet Étoile presents ‘Cleopatra’, a compelling portrayal of the most powerful and notorious woman of the ancient world. A legend even in her own time, Cleopatra’s legacy is timeless.
Premiered in 2015 to audience acclaim, Ballet Étoile’s ‘Cleopatra’ brings the opulence, intrigue and drama of the ancient world to life. ‘Cleopatra’ dazzles with rich costumes, virtuosic dances and highlights Ballet Étoile’s skill of engaging storytelling.
A woman of great courage and intelligence Cleopatra is a loving mother, a powerful warrior Queen, and a living Goddess. Exiled by her own brother at the age of eighteen, she returns to Egypt to take control of her throne and continues in her rapid rise to power, fighting for both her children and her Empire. She risks everything in her political alliances, and love affairs with Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, and pays the ultimate price for following her heart. Fighting for a voice in a world ruled by men, Cleopatra stands alone as a courageous, intelligent leader, who dared to take on the Roman Empire, and for a brief moment held the fate of the Western world in her hands.
Like all Ballet Étoile performances this production is suitable for audiences of all ages.
