Throughout its celebrated 40 years, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo has entertained audiences worldwide with its playful presentation of classic ballets in parody form. While amazing and delighting ballet connoisseurs with its all-male cast’s spot-on choreography of every role in renowned traditional and modern ballets — including dancing the women’s parts en pointe — they also thrill dance enthusiasts and newcomers alike with their comic and exaggerated depictions of performance foibles and accidents. This wholly one-of-a-kind company seeks to honor dance while bringing smiles to audiences’ faces, including with male cast members decked out in tutus and taking on delicate roles such as swans, sylphs, water sprites, romantic princesses, angst-ridden Victorian ladies and more.
Often referred to as the Trocks, this internationally beloved company has performed in over 34 countries and over 600 cities worldwide. Regularly featured on international television, and even performing for British royalty, the Trocks have received awards for best classical repertoire from the prestigious Critic’s Circle National Dance Awards, the Theatrical Managers Awards and the Positano Awards.
Both longtime ballet lovers and novices will enjoy this amusing and impressive display of ballet’s comic side.
