excepting women). In this tale the figure of the Byronic hero emerges, "that man of loneliness and mystery", who perceives himself a "villain", an anti-hero. The opera "Il corsaro" by Giuseppe Verdi, the overture "Le Corsaire" by Hector Berlioz, and the ballet "Le Corsaire" by Adolphe Adam were based on this work. Many Americans believed that Lord Byron's poem "The Corsair" was based on the life of the privateer/pirate Jean Lafitte. The plot

Le Corsaire


Le Corsaire is a ballet typically presented in three acts, with a libretto originally created by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges loosely based on the poem "The Corsair" by Lord Byron. Originally choreographed by Joseph Mazilier to the music of Adolphe Adam, it was first presented by the ballet of the Théâtre Impérial de l’Opéra in Paris on 23 January 1856. All modern productions of "Le Corsaire" are derived from the revivals staged by the Ballet Master Marius Petipa for the Imperial Ballet of St. Petersburg throughout the mid

to retain many of the additional "pas" as included in the ballet by Mazilier and Petipa. Gorsky's revival of "Le Corsaire" remained in the repertory of the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre until 1927. Although the company regularly performed extracts from "Le Corsaire" for many years thereafter, the full-length work was not given again until Konstantin Sergeyev staged his version for the company in 1992. On 21 June 2007 the Bolshoi Ballet presented a lavish revival of "Le Corsaire" staged by Yuri Burlaka and the company's

"Le Corsaire" was performed for the first time on at the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre, with the "Prima ballerina" Ekaterina Friedbürg as the heroine Medora, and the young Marius Petipa as the corsair Conrad. For this production Petipa assisted Perrot in rehearsals, and even revised a few of the ballet's key dances. Over the course of his long career Petipa presented four revivals of "Le Corsaire", each time adding a substantial number of

The ballet has many celebrated passages which are often excerpted from the full-length work and performed independently: the scene "Le Jardin animé", the "Pas d’esclave", the "Pas de trois des odalisques", and the so-called "Le Corsaire pas de deux", which is among classical ballet's most famous and performed excerpts. "Le Corsaire" was created primarily for the talents of the famous Italian ballerina Carolina Rosati, who was then the Opéra's reigning "Prima

In 1936 another revival of "Le Corsaire" was given by the Kirov Ballet, with Natalia Dudinskaya as Medora, Mikhail Mikhailov as Conrad, and Vakhtang Chabukiani as the Slave (or Rhab, as the character was known in Russia). This was the first production of the full-length work to include Vaganova's 1931 revision of "Le Corsaire pas de deux" as staged for Dudinskaya's graduation performance.

Burlaka utilized the choreographic notation of the Sergeyev Collection, as well as materials found in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Bakhrushin Theater Museum and the St. Petersburg State Museum of Theatre and Music to assist in mounting a historically informed production. This version of "Le Corsaire" proved to be the most expensive production of a ballet ever mounted, estimated at $1.5 million USD.

In 1989 the Kirov Ballet decided to present a revival of "Le Corsaire" for its upcoming world tour. There was much debate as to whether Vinogradov's staging of Gusev's version would be retained or whether Sergeyev's version would be reinstated. In the end the company

Mazilier came out of retirement to mount a revival of "Le Corsaire" in honor of the 1867 Exposition Universelle, given that year in Paris. The celebrated German ballerina Adèle Grantzow performed the role of Medora, while Adolphe Adam's former pupil Léo Delibes composed new music for a "Pas des fleurs" especially for Grantzow. The revival premiered on 21 October 1867 and was given thirty-eight performances with Grantzow as the heroine Medora.

The staging went through even more revisions both choreographically and musically, with modifications performed by American Ballet Theatre conductor Charles Barker and the company pianist Henrietta Stern. On 26 January 2006, the Bayerisches Staatsballett (Bavarian State Ballet) presented a partial reconstruction of Petipa's 1899 revival of "Le Corsaire" with additional choreography by Ivan Liska.

Grumman F6F Hellcat


The Grumman F6F Hellcat is an American carrier-based fighter aircraft of World War II. Designed to replace the earlier F4F Wildcat and to counter the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero, it was the United States Navy's dominant fighter in the second half of the Pacific War. The Hellcat competed with the faster Vought F4U Corsair for that role and prevailed, as the Corsair had significant issues with carrier landings. The Corsair, instead, was primarily deployed to great effect in land-based use by the U.S. Marine Corps. Powered

Since Corsairs were being operated from shore bases, while still awaiting approval for U.S. carrier operations, 965 FG-1As were built as "land planes" without their hydraulic wing folding mechanisms, hoping to improve performance by reducing aircraft weight, with the added benefit of minimizing complexity. (These Corsairs’ wings could still be manually folded.) A second option was to remove the folding mechanism in the field using a kit, which could be done for Vought and Brewster Corsairs as well. On 6 December 1943, the Bureau of Aeronautics

issued guidance on weight-reduction measures for the F4U-1, FG-1, and F3A. Corsair squadrons operating from land bases were authorized to remove catapult hooks, arresting hooks, and associated equipment, which eliminated 48 pounds of unnecessary weight. While there are no data to indicate to what extent these modifications where incorporated, there are numerous photos in evidence of Corsairs, of various manufacturers and models, on islands in the Pacific without tailhooks installed. Corsairs also served well as fighter-bombers in the Central Pacific and the Philippines. By early

The original design was developed by Harry Hollmeyer who became an ace pilot. The squadron helped during the development of the F4U Corsair resulting in some design changes, resulting in the F4U-1A.
