Violette et Mr. B
Series: Dominique Delouche: Ballet Cineaste [July 23-27, 2008]
Director: Dominique Delouche, Country: France, Release: 2001, Runtime: 81

Violette Verdy was one of Balanchine’s muses at New York City Ballet, a favored principal dancer who, in 19 years with the company, inspired such masterpieces as Liebeslieder Walzer, the “Emeralds” section of Jewels, and Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux. Delouche delightfully captures her enthusiasm and exuberance, which she has now transferred to her work as a distinguished professor of music at Indiana University. “Violette is algebra,” said her mentor Roland Petit, “Balanchine chose her because she possessed theatrical alchemy.” A ten-minute segment of Jerome Robbins coaching Monique Loudières and Manuel Legris, étoiles of the Paris Opera, in In the Night (1990) will precede the film. Verdy and Delouche will participate in a Q&A following the 6:00 p.m. screening on Saturday, July 26.

A ten-minute segment of Jerome Robbins coaching Monique Loudières and Manuel Legris, étoiles of the Paris Opera, in In the Night (1990) will precede the feature film. Total Running Time: 91 min
