Le Corsaire, (The Pirate) is a ballet in three acts based on the poem The Corsaire by Lord Byron, originally choreographed by the Balletmaster Joseph Mazilier to the music of Adolphe Adam. First presented by the Ballet of the Théâtre Imperial de l´Opéra, Paris, France on 23 January 1856. The ballet has been much revised throughout it's long and complex performance history by way of later stagings in Russia, most notably by Jules Perrot (1858), Marius Petipa (1858, 1863, 1868, 1885, and 1899), Alexander Gorsky (1912), Agrippina Vaganova (1931), Pyotr Gusev (1955), Konstantin Sergeyev (1972, 1992), and Yuri Grigorovich (1994). During the ballet's performance history Adolphe Adam's score has acquired additions from six different composers: Cesare Pugni, Grand Duke Peter II of Oldenburg (AKA Prince Oldenburg or Prince Peter Von Oldenburg), Léo Delibes, Léon Minkus, Prince Trubetskoi, and Riccardo Drigo (often not all of these composers are credited), though some stagings include even more additional music. In modern times the ballet is performed primarily in two separate versions - mostly in Russia and eastern Europe many companies have mounted productions derived from Pyotr Gusev's 1955 revival, while outside of Russia, mostly in North America, companies have mounted productions derived from Konstantin Sergeyev's 1973 and 1992 revivals.//The first ballet adaptation of Lord Byron's 1814 poem The Corsair was mounted by the Balletmaster Ferdinand/Francois Albert Decombè to the music of Nicholas Bochsa for the ballet of the Drury Lane/King's Theatre in 1837, a production which was revived in 1844 quite successfuly.The second production of Le Corsaire proved to the most significant. It premiered on January 23, 1856 by the ballet of the old Théâtre Imperial de l´Opéra in the Rue Le Peleteir, Paris (today the company is known as the Paris Opera Ballet). The ballet was the brainchild of the Minister of State, then director of the Opèra, and of the Empress Eugenie of France, who wanted to create a more superior ballet adaptation of Lord Byron's poem than the one mounted in London by Decombè. The choreographer for this production was the Opéra's chief Balletmaster Joseph Mazilier, one of the most celebrated choreographers of his time, who was highly skilled in producing the full-length narrative ballets then in vogue, with many successes to his credit (including Paquita, in 1844). As was standard practice in 19th century ballet, a literary man was commissioned to write the libretto, and here Mazilier looked to the most celebrated dramatist available, Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges, who fashioned the scenario loosely based on Byron's poem (Saint-Georges crafted the scenarios for many ballets throughout his life, most notably Giselle in collaboration with Theophile Gautier in 1841, and later for Petipa's The Pharaoh's Daughter in 1862).Le Corsaire was created primarily for the talents of the famous Italian Ballerina Carolina Rosati, who was then the Opéra's reigning Prima, celebrated for her great beauty, strong pointes, clean batterie, precision of execution, and easily intelligible mime. The score was commissioned, for a phenominal fee of 6,000 francs in addition to royalties, from Adolphe Adam, who at that time was the most distinguished composer writing for both ballet and opera in France (Adam is most noted for his opera Les Toreadors -1849, his ballet Giselle -1841, and as his famous Christmas carol O Holy Night -1847). The libretto went through many changes during the long months of the ballet's preperation, requiring Saint-Georges to paid an additional 3,000 francs for the work
