♪♪ [ Orchestral music plays ] -Next, on "Great Performances"... Matthew Bourne's Olivier Award-winning stage adaptation "The Red Shoes," a ballet inspired by the classic film and fairy tale.
It's the story of aspiring ballerina Victoria Page... ♪♪ ...the impresario who wants to make her his star... ♪♪ ...and the composer who will not sell out and wants to set her free.
♪♪ Vicky lives to dance, but, when she gives in to her passion for the red shoes, she cannot stop on her own and her stage life begins to eclipse her real life.
♪♪ Set in Hollywood's Golden Age, the ballet features the lush film scores of Bernard Herrmann and an award-winning set design.
♪♪ One dancer's dark dream to be the greatest in the world is next.
♪♪ ♪♪ Major funding for "Great Performances" is provided by... ...and by contributions to your PBS station from viewers like you.
Thank you.
