Clavigo (1999)

NR | Oct 01, 1999 (FR) | Music | 01:27

Ballet in two parts after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Inspired by Goethe's early romantic play Clavigo, Roland Petit's ballet recounts the agonies of a weak-willed lover torn between the contradictory promptings of his heart and his evil spirit, which urges him to serve his own interests and forsake true love in favor of a life of debauchery. Recorded live at the Opera National de Paris, Palais Garnier, October 1999.
