The Nanterre High Court (TGI) has just delivered its verdict in the case surrounding the Bolero by Ravel. As a reminder, the Estates of Alexandre Benois and Maurice Ravel had filed a lawsuit since 2018 against Sacem (society of authors, composers and music publishers), in order to contest the entry of the Bolero in the public domain in France.
The claims were to have the painter Alexandre Benois and the choreographer Nijinska added to the work’s declaration form, both linked to the first performances of the Bolero at the Paris Opera during the premiere in 1928. The rights to the score would thus have been extended until 2039 or 2051. The weather was able to consult the decision rendered by the court.
