"You live as long as you dance! And as long as you live, dance!" would say Nureyev to his dancers. They rehearse, tirelessly, from evening to morning, one of the most beautiful ballets there is: La Bayadère. Our film follows the dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet who were able to rehearse again during the lockdown in 2020.Jewel from the Paris Opera repertoire, La Bayadère is a mega-production with flamboyant sets and costumes that brings together on stage nearly 90 dancers of the company. Considered, along with Swan Lake, as one of Rudolf Nureyev's masterpieces, it is also one of the most technical and difficult ballets ever. An unmatched challenge for the dancers after long weeks of interruption and which testifies to the vital energy of dance.

For their first invitation to create a piece for the Paris Opera Ballet's dancers, choreographers Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber first stopped by at the Orsolina28 Art Foundation in Italy.Then, they began rehearsals at the Opéra Bastille with the Ballet's dancers. A dialogue is established between the highly personal universe and the material the choreographers supply and the improvisations from the Company's dancers.Petteri Iivonen, first violin with the Paris Opera Orchestra, also talks about Sibelius' score and how special it is being on stage during performances, so close to the dancers.   The Paris Opera Corps de Ballet and the Paris Opera OrchestraDirector: Tommy Pascal © Opéra national de Paris

Pit, the film of the production

The beginning of the future dancers' school year is an intense experience as it crystallises their early commitment to adult life. How do the younger pupils (9 to 12 years) experience it, and how do the older pupils (15 to 18 years) prepare for it?On what inner strengths and convictions do the pupils base their decisions? What forms do their desires take? What do they draw on, and with what tools do they equip themselves, to deal with being far from their families? And how do they stay in contact with them? (there is a Korean pupil, a Chinese pupil, Italian pupils, pupils from the French provinces and they all use Skype) How do the teachers introduce the pupils to the new school year? What memories do the teachers have of their own new school years, and what do they bear in mind when addressing their new pupils? Behind the vast array of preparatory activities for the beginning of the school year, the extent of expectations at the school becomes implicit.This first film will recount the "climbing on board", influenced here and there by the memories of new school years experienced 30 years earlier by those accompanying the pupils as they join the dance.

As the daily practice of hard work is becoming part of life at the school, with the pupils rehearsing the same movements over and over again to gain suppleness, another practice is underway: finding the personalities of the pupils.The younger ones are introduced to expression work via three subjects: mime, corporal expression and folklore. For the older pupils, this work continues with "character dance".This second film will track the quest for movement and what it expresses, in the search for the creative resources each dancer possesses.How do the pupils gradually gain the autonomy they need to make their dream come true? We can measure how far they have come by looking at how the older pupils' behaviour differs from that of the younger pupils.

The dance school requires the pupils to have a good level in subjects right across the board, whether in dance, maths or French. Dance classes take part in the afternoons and mornings are set aside for schooling. The pupils follow a general curriculum that will take them through to the Baccalaureate, in which the school can be proud of its 100% pass rate.The timetable also includes other activities, such as visits to the school nurse and physiotherapist, learning about nutrition, and receiving support from the school head.The pupils seek comfort, help and care from these resource workers. This chapter will look at what we can learn about the birth of a dancer, via the interwoven perspectives of those who accompany them and via small events or incidents that are part of the school year.  A coproduction ARTE France, SCHUCH Productions, the Paris Opera and NHK With the support of the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’image animée, the PROCIREP - Société des Producteurs and of the ANGOADirector: Françoise Marie © SCHUCH Productions – ARTE France – Opéra national de Paris – 2012

Two events, in association with the Opéra de Paris, mark life at the dance school. The first, the "Dance School Demonstrations" takes place in December. In these demonstrations, dance lessons are given exactly as they take place at the school, except these are in public and on stage at the Palais Garnier.The event, which includes three performances, is highly popular among a "specialist" audience of dance professionals and pupils from many dance courses. It is also a highlight for the pupils' families. This makes it an all-important event in the life of the school, as it opens up its cocoon for a day.The younger pupils will take their maiden steps on a stage steeped in legend. For the older pupils, it is the opportunity to become familiar with the feeling of being evaluated and being compared to each other. They experience both the pleasure and pride of being part of a family as well as the desire to stand out from that family. These are the basics of working within a corps de ballet.  A coproduction ARTE France, SCHUCH Productions, the Paris Opera and NHK With the support of the Centre National du Cinéma et de l’image animée, the PROCIREP - Société des Producteurs and of the ANGOADirector: Françoise Marie © SCHUCH Productions – ARTE France – Opéra national de Paris – 2012

Violette Verdy, the French ballerina and one of the most famous dancers at the New York City Ballet run by George Balanchine, will lead the pupils of the school's 2nd and 3rd division this year, as they dance to a piece by Johannes Brahms, Variations on a Theme of Paganini. Verdy created the original choreography for the piece while she was director of dance at the Opera de Paris.This film provides the opportunity to look into what differentiates the genres in the classical approach to dance, via the technical performances that are expected of the girls and boys. The online availability of numerous extracts of choreographies, interviews with dancers, and ballet recordings modifies the expectations of the trainee dancers. Whilst providing them with all sorts of technical and artistic information, the variety of issues this material raises strengthens the special relationship between master and pupil.Violette Verdy's choreography, which will feature in the school's end-of-year performance, will be danced at the Palais Garnier in April, and will constitute a highpoint in the life of the young dancers.
