Russia’s finest dancers meet France’s most iconic designer, Coco Chanel and the music of Handel for the <b>Modanse Double Bill</b>, featuring superstar prima ballerina Svetlana Zakharova.
-
-
After premiering at the Bolshoi Theatre in June, the dancers have come to London for three nights this December in the opulent surroundings of the London Coliseum.
-
-
Home to the English National Opera, the stage is a fitting location for <b>Come Un Respiro</b>, a dramatic and passionate ballet set to Handel’s baroque music.
-
-
Translating to Like A Breath, Come Un Respiro features a sensual duet between Svetlana and Denis Savin in costumes designed to emphasise the sexuality of the dancers by Helena de Medeiros.
-
-
The second part of the evening is a tribute to legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel.
-
-
-
<b>Gabrielle Chanel</b> explores the designers connections to dance through Sergei Diaghilev’s ballets Le Train Bleu and Apollon Musagete.
-
-
Swapping stilettos for ballet pumps, Svetlana is transformed into the designer, posing in front of her mirror reflection projected on a giant screen.
-
-
A flash of pearls, silk and houndstooth fly across the stage with over 80 costumes designed exclusively by the Chanel Creative Studio.
-
-
-
A stunning mix of dance and fashion, set against a stage of black and white, this ballet is as iconic and chic as the designer herself.
