Stanton Welch's Marie, bedroom pas

A child bride. A spoiled party girl. A doting mother. A controversial queen. Marie Antoinette has long fascinated historians and artists alike. Inspired by the story of her life, artistic director Stanton Welch will create a new full-length ballet about the French monarch whose life culminated in the violent events of the French Revolution. London-based designer Kandis Cook will create costumes and sets for the production. Music director Ermanno Florio will arrange the score, featuring music by Dmitri Shostakovich.

Performed by Melody Herrera and Ian Casady of Houston Ballet, 2009.

It's a piece by Shostakovich, but I'm not sure which. Our music director arranged the score to various Shostakovich excerpts.

Her costume is gorgeous but it looks difficult to dance in!
