Le Corsaire
Le Corsaire
is a
ballet
typically presented in three acts, with a
libretto
originally created by
Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges
loosely based on the poem
The Corsair
by
Lord Byron
. Originally choreographed by
Joseph Mazilier
to the music of
Adolphe Adam
, it was first presented by the ballet of the
Théâtre Impérial de l´Opéra
in Paris on 23 January 1856. All modern productions of
Le Corsaire
are derived from the revivals staged by the Ballet Master
Marius Petipa
for the
Imperial Ballet
of St. Petersburg throughout the mid to late 19th century.
