Marie-Antoinette – ballet by Thierry Malandain on music of HAYDN & GLUCK 

Malandain Ballet Biarritz Chateau de Versailles 

We all remember the Austrian woman by her nickname Madam deficit, but on the other hand, if you put aside the parties, the balls, and the extravagant garments, Marie-Antoinettes pronounced fondness for the arts, the theater, music, and dance is less well-known. And so, even though a staff was affected to oversee her pleasures, Marie-Antoinette handled the organization of Court spectacles, and even became involved with events taking place in Paris. Studying singing, harpsichord, and the harp, she would also be involved in acting. But without a doubt the role of her life was that of Dauphine and then Queen of France, caught between etiquette, inactivity, frivolity and intrigues. Using the material, where theatricality plays a central role, Thierry Malandain has created for Chateau de Versailles Spectacles in 2019, this ballet Marie-Antoinette based on the symphonies of Joseph Haydn and Christoph Willibald Gluck.
