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 and other composers, 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. The ballet has many celebrated passages which are often excerpted from the full-length work and performed independently: the scene ''Le Jardin animé'', the ''Pas d’esclave'', the ''Pas de trois des odalisques'', and the so-called ''Le Corsaire pas de deux'' (music mostly by Riccardo Drigo), which is among classical ballet's most famous and performed excerpts.
