Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet - Moulin Rouge: the Ballet January 27, 2013

Premiered in 2009, Moulin Rouge - The Ballet is an original burlesque-inspired storybook ballet with irrepressible "Gay Paree" style, razzle-dazzle dancing, eye-popping costumes, twinkling sets and a score made up of well-known French music. Along with a rousing soundtrack featuring Offenbach, Ravel, Strauss, Debussy and a dash of Piazzolla, the ballet features high-kicking choreography and a passionate story of love, ambition and heartbreak.
