Moulin Rouge, the Ballet
Black Swan brought ballet to the movies. Now the movies come to the ballet, with a twist.
From the 14–16 of April, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal will present the Royal Winnipeg Ballet in Moulin Rouge. But instead of Ewan McGregor’s Christian and Nicole Kidman’s Satine, the ballet describes the love affair between artist, Mathieu, and a young laundress, Nathalie in Paris during the Belle Époque, with an appearance by Toulouse-Lautrec. —JN
