Die Kameliendame

Created for legendary ballerina Marcia Haydee, one of the great dance actresses of her generation, John Neumeier’s Lady of the Camellias is a full-length ballet masterpiece.

Like the Garbo film Camille and Verdi’s La Travia-ta, it is based on Dumas’s autobiographical novel about how, at the age of 20, he fell in love with a beautiful but doomed demi-mondaine. This stunning 1987 film is «a stroke of good fortune for the cinema and a triumph for Neumeier’s ballet»
(EPD Film/Filmzentrale).
