  • Academic Ballet: a National and Transnational Perspective
    Dr. Svebor Sečak Assistant Professor, AMEU ACADEMIC BALLET: A NATIONAL AND TRANSNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE ABSTRACT Drawing on historical perspectives, the paper follows the main diachronic line of world ballet history, and from a broad perspective focuses on Slovenia and the concept of national ensembles that were dominant in 20th-century Europe. A real challenge for national companies emerges at the turn of the century, when national companies increasingly become transnational. The repertoire becomes eclectic, and the new readings of canonical works are susceptible to the concept of intertextuality, hybridisation of genres and co-mixing of cultural influences. The academic, scientific approach has a significant role in following this vivid and vibrant process in ballet art. It studies dance art from numerous analytical perspectives that sur- pass the acquiring of technical dancing skills and the factual history of dance but rather involve semiotics, anthropological, philosophical, psychoanalytical, socio-political and feminist and gender perspectives, as well as kinesiology, anatomy and physiology in the context of safe practice. In the previous academic year, Slovenia acquired its dance academy which offers studying and teaching of ballet on an entirely new lev- el. It produces not only future professionals, but indirectly facilitates the education of a wider population relating to the significance of dance for the culture of the 21st century. It will potentially secure a double result: the preservation of the autochthonic culture and tradition and the opening up to new tendencies and philosophies as an integrative factor within Europe and worldwide. Key words: ballet, dance academy, dance education, transnationality INTRODUCTION This text recognises the dichotomy between the concept of the so-called national ballet styles, scho- ols and companies and their international character that traverses into a fully transnational mode.

    THE Aldeburgh CONNECTION Madame Bizet Walter Hall, Sunday, December 2, 2012, 2:30 pm We wish to thank, most sincerely, Peter M. Partridge for sponsoring Nathalie Paulin and James and Connie MacDougall for sponsoring Brett Polegato * We are also grateful to James and Connie MacDougall for providing the flowers on stage * We are performing on the Edith McConica Steinway 1 Madame Bizet Walter Hall, Sunday, December 2, 2012, 2:30 pm Nathalie Paulin, soprano Brett Polegato, baritone Stephen Ralls and Bruce Ubukata, piano with Fiona Reid and Mike Shara Although the married life of Georges and Geneviève Bizet lasted only from 1869 until his death in 1875, those six years were packed with incident, from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 and the subsequent uprising of the Paris Commune in 1871 through to the disastrous premiere of Carmen on March 3, 1875. The cumulative effects of those events is thought to have hastened the composer’s untimely demise at the age of 36. Unfortunately, despite the undoubted mutual love of the married couple, a considerable amount of blame may, perhaps, be attached to the appalling strains imposed on Bizet by the instability of his wife and, especially, his mother-in-law. Geneviève, the daughter of Fromental Halévy (composer of the ultra-grand French opera, La Juive), never fully recovered from the shock of the death at the age of 21 of her beloved elder sister, Esther. Even worse, her mother, in one of her recurrent bouts of insanity, blamed Geneviève herself for the tragedy, with such obsessive vindictiveness that mother and daughter were never able to live under the same roof again.

  • Turandot En La Biblioteca Pública “Azorín”
    Turandot en la Biblioteca Pública “Azorín” Noviembre 2016 ■ INTRODUCCIÓN Turandot es una ópera en tres actos con música de Giacomo Puccini y libreto en italiano de Giuseppe Adami y Renato Simoni. La ópera, inconclusa por la muerte de Puccini, fue completada por Franco Alfano y estrenada el 25 de abril de 1926 en La Scala de Milán. Una de las partes más difíciles de la ópera se encuentra en el segundo acto y se inicia con la frase In questa reggia, cuando Turandot explica la razón de su comportamiento. Musicalmente, esta parte exige sobreagudos a cargo de la soprano que, combinados con la capacidad wagneriana que requiere el personaje, la hacen particularmente difícil. En el tercer acto se encuentra una de las arias más conocidas para tenor, Nessun dorma, que representa la victoria del amor sobre el odio, donde Calaf canta que nadie duerma para descubrir el nombre del joven héroe. Otro aspecto musicalmente notable es el enfrentamiento entre tenor y soprano, en el segundo acto, que muchos comparan con lo que hizo antes Puccini en Tosca, también en el segundo acto, cuando enfrenta las voces del barítono y la soprano, Scarpia y Tosca. ■ ARGUMENTO Acto I Cuadro I En la primera escena el pueblo de Pekín escucha la proclama de uno de los mandarines del emperador ("Popolo di Pechino..."), por la que hace saber que la princesa se casará con aquel príncipe que responda correctamente los tres acertijos impuestos por su majestad. De no hacerlo así, el pretendiente morirá. Paso seguido, se comunica que el Príncipe de Persia ha fallado; por lo tanto, morirá al salir la luna.
