Los Angeles Ballet presents

Lady of the Camellias danced to Chopin’s romantic score, is a story of love, sacrifice, and longing. Armand falls passionately in love with Marguerite, a celebrated French courtesan of 19th century high-society Paris. Only for a fleeting moment do the lovers live their dream in the countryside.

Val Caniparoli is a prolific choreographer whose works have been included in the repertoire of more than 50 ballet companies. Lady of the Camellias is one of his best-known works. Caniparoli’s movement language is described as rooted in classical ballet, and he seeks inspiration in a variety of other styles including contemporary dance, ethnic dance, and figure skating.
