The Sleeping Beauty remains, as Rudolf Nureyev often called it, the 'ballet of ballets'.

Performed by Opera National de Paris in 2000.

“Siddharta” is a landmark contemporary ballet by Angelin Preljocaj, created for the Paris Opera Ballet and inspired by the spiritual journey of Siddhartha Gautama, the future Buddha. Set to an original score by Bruno Mantovani, this production fuses philosophical narrative with avant-garde choreography and striking visual design by Claude Lévêque. The piece explores themes of desire, suffering, and transcendence, following Siddharta’s path from royal privilege through temptation and enlightenment. The work stands out for its blend of spiritual intensity, physical virtuosity, and the grandeur of Paris Opera’s leading dancers.
