Yellow (Dances at a Gathering)
The rich history of American ballet is celebrated in classic works by George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, two choreographic giants of the 20th century. Apollo brought Balanchine together for the first time with composer Igor Stravinsky. Their creation for Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes in 1928 remains a masterpiece of neoclassicism in its striking depiction of the young god of music and his three muses. Balanchine’s effervescent Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux breathes life into a long-lost movement from Tchaikovsky’s original score for Swan Lake. Created in 1960 for virtuoso New York City Ballet dancers Violette Verdy and Conrad Ludlow, its thrilling technical challenges are still relished by performers today.
Her Sister
Cathy Marston's first work for the Royal Opera House Main Stage is a lyrical memoir of the momentous life of the cellist Jacqueline du Pré, from her discovery of the cello through her celebrity as one of the most extraordinary players of the instrument to her frustration and struggle with multiple sclerosis. Rich and poignant, joyous and tragic, The Cellist draws on the talents of The Royal Ballet's Principals, Character Artists, Soloists and Corps to tell the moving story of the cellist's life. Composer Philip Feeney incorporates some of the most moving and powerful cello music of Elgar, Beethoven, Fauré, Mendelssohn, Piatti, Rachmaninoff and Schubert into an exquisite score that is itself an homage to the cello.
Her Sister
The Royal Ballet estrena ‘The Cellist’, una nueva producción de una de las coreógrafas punteras en la escena internacional: Cathy Martson, junto con el clásico del aclamado Jerome Robbins ‘Dances at a
Gathering’.
Cathy Marston fue artista asociada en la Royal Opera House y directora del Bern Ballet con una gran proyección internacional. Su primer trabajo en el escenario principal de The Royal Ballet está inspirado en un momento trascendental de la vida y carrera de la violonchelista Jacqueline du Pré.
La segunda parte del programa la ocupa el elegante y elegíaco clásico de Jerome Robbins. Este ejercicio de pura danza para cinco parejas, con la música de Chopin, es una obra maestra de la sutileza y el ingenio.
Fairy of The Song Bird / Florestan's Sister
Viaja con el Royal Ballet a un mundo encantado de princesas y hadas madrinas en la histórica producción de Marius Petipa con música de Tchaikovski. Esta producción de la Bella Durmiente lleva deleitando al público de Covent Garden desde 1946. Un clásico del ballet ruso que coronó al Royal Ballet en su nueva sede, tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, como gran compañía a nivel mundial. Sesenta años después, en 2006, se ha rescatado la puesta en escena original, volviendo a los magníficos diseños de Oliver Messel y a los deslumbrantes trajes. La gran partitura de Pyotr Il’Yich Tchaikovski y la coreografía original de Marius Petipa combinan a la perfección con las variaciones creadas para The Royal Ballet por Frederick Ashton, Anthony Dowell y Christopher Wheeldon. Un ballet que hechiza a todo aquel que lo ve.
