Premiere performances of "Balanchine / Taylor / Garnier / Ekman" coming on November 25, 26 and 27.
Four new ballets are being added to the theatre's repertory, three of which will be shown in Russia for the first time.
This night is opened by Serenade, which was made to the divine Tchaikovsky’s music. And George Balanchine, who liked to say that "music should be seen, while the dance should be heard", would surely endorse such interpretation of this masterpiece of his.
Aureole is an underlying production of the modern American dance. The unique style of Paul Taylor combined with Handel’s Baroque music turn this ballet into a song of joy.
Aunis is the name of old French province, whose folk dances inspired Jacques Garnier. By merging the tradition and modern dance language this ballet for three dancers relates to us, somewhat nostalgically, the memories of happy and carefree youth.
The program is concluded by Alexander Ekman’s Tyll. The choreographer suggests a new view of the classical ballet, full of humor, but sympathetic. Theatrical ingenuity and boundless imagination make Ekman one of the most outstanding choreographers of his generation.
These ballets reflect the view of the dance of today and yesterday, and I trust the dancers of Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theatre will share the joy of discovery of this choreography with the audience.
