Marie Sallé, one of the first female choreographers, made sensational appearances on the stages of Paris and London performing her own innovative and daring choreography.
In this programme, Ensemble Molière will perform extracts from Handel’s Terpsichore which Sallé danced on the London stage, alongside pieces by Rameau and Rebel to which she famously danced in Paris and Versailles.
Ensemble Molière has been selected as the first-ever Radio 3 New Generation Baroque Ensemble for two years from October 2021, a new scheme run in partnership by BBC Radio 3, the National Centre for Early Music and the Royal College of Music.
