SUMMARY:Starstruck - Gene Kelly's Love Letter to Ballet
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Gene Kelly's iconic work in Hollywood\, Starstruck\, winner of the 2022 Best Dance Film Award at the National Dance Awards\, brings an immersive\, theatrical experience\, in which audiences around the world can escape with us to the glamour and grace of Paris\, 1960. \n\n\n\nOne of the first choreographers to bring the 'American style' to Europe\, the legendary Gene Kelly was invited to create an original work for the Paris Opera Ballet in 1960. His jazzy\, joyful Pas de Dieux was highly acclaimed at the time as 'a breath of fresh air' but has been rarely performed since. It has now been given a new set of wings for its life on stage and screen. \n\n\n\nIn collaboration with Kelly's widow\, Patricia Ward Kelly\, Scottish Ballet's CEO/Artistic Director Christopher Hampson and designer Lez Brotherston (The Snow Queen\, The Secret Theatre) have lovingly revived the original ballet and added a delightful new twist. You'll be transported into the world where jazz meets ballet\, and the stars align.\n\n\n\nRun Time: 1 hour
