FRANCECONCERT is proud to present Boléro ? Hommage à Maurice Ravel, a show whose choreography, staging, libretto and sets have been entirely imagined by our artistic team. On its first tour in 2016, this original creation was a great success. Come and rediscover it during the 2024-2025 season!
A landmark piece in the history of music and dance, Maurice Ravel's Boléro is one of the most recognized French works in the world. When Ravel was about to embark on a four-month concert tour of the United States and Canada, his friend and patron Ida Rubinstein asked him to write a "ballet of Spanish character". Ravel, sensitive to the idea of dance, opted for the bolero, a traditional Andalusian dance. And so the work was born.
