In 1983, he was distinguished by the American press as \u201cBest Dancer of the Year\u201d and a year later a wounded Baryshnikov asked him to replace him in Gis\u00e8le, at the New York Metropolitan Opera. Rudolf Noureev invited him as a guest star to the Paris Opera for his production of <STRONG>Rom\u00e9o &#038; Juliette<\/STRONG>. Maurice B\u00e9jart gave him L\u2019Oiseau de Feu for the performance at the Grand Palais for the bicentennial celebration of the French Revolution. He was a leading dancer at the San Francisco Ballet from 1985 until 1988, then at the Ballets de Monte-Carlo from 1991 to 1997. After more than twenty years of an international career, as a dancer, Gil started choreographing. In 1999 he founded the Ballet des Jeunes d\u2019Europe (BJE). In 2003, he created the Ballet d&#8217;Europe in Allauch (near Marseilles). Films of his work, Mireille, Mozart Requiem and Schubert in Love, are played by Mezzo. Excerpts from those were chosen by Roberto Alagna to illustrate a documentary on his own work, and then he offered Gil to make choreographies for Ballet d\u2019Europe\u2019s dancers in the tenor\u2019s show. This is his first work for the Israeli Opera. <BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jean- Charles Gil, choreographer, was born in Spain.
