The work was Marius Petipa’s final “ballet à grand spectacle” (1898), to music by Alexan- der Glazunov and with a grand total of five variations for Raymonda and three sumptu- ous grands pas spread over the ballet’s three acts. The Royal Danish Ballet has Raymonda on its programme at The Royal Danish Theatre, Copenhagen as from Novem- ber (with various revivals until April), though in a new version by the company’s director Nikolaj Hübbe. The latter’s re-readings of the ballets of August Bournonville are notorious and can, at the very least, be described as eccentric – for example Napoli, re-located to the 1950s and steeped in a ‘Fellini-like’ at- mosphere; the same can be said about Hübbe’s versions of Russian ballet classics such as La Bayadère, re-set in 19th-century colonial In- dia. Also Raymonda, the love-story between the titular character and crusader knight Jean de Brienne, thwarted by the fiery Saracen The Royal Danish Ballet’s poster for the new Nikolaj Hübbe “Raymonda” .

The eternal enfant terrible of French dance now works with her company at Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon, on the outskirts of Lyon, in a centre called “Ramdam, un centre d’art” which has the same unadorned, stark air of her stage aesthetics. Marin’s latest creation, premiered in early October at the Centre Culturel André Malraux de Vandoeuvre-lès-Nancy (in Greater Nancy, France), was inspired by Propaganda, a book by Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud. Propaganda explored the psychology be- hind manipulating the masses and the technique for shaping the will of the masses to the require- ments of the élite in a peaceful way, creating what Bernays calls the “factory of consent”. Starting off from these considerations, Maguy Marin pro- poses in her new creation to bring out the “smell Zurich Opera Ballet: “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King”, c. Christian Spuck of death” and “existential abyss” of this “carefree (ph. G. Batardon) society” of ours which we strive to make “dy- blematic of the “Socialist Realism” style, such Angelina Vorontsova – Mikhalovsky Ballet, St Petersburg: “Cinderella”, as The Flames of Paris (Vasili Vainonen) and c. Rostislav Zakharov (ph. J. Devant) Laurencia (Vakhtang Chabukiani). Unde- terred in his revaluation of the Soviet reper- tory, Messerer inaugurated the Mikhailovsky’s new ballet season last Sep- tember with Cinderella by Rostislav Zakharov, a choreographer who is more widely known for his ballet The Fountain of Bakhchisarai (1935) which is still in the rep- ertoire at the Mariinsky and emblematic of the dramatic/lyrical/psychological ballet genre. Zakharov’s Cinderella (to the famous score which Sergei Prokofiev had just com- pleted after a somewhat complex creation process) debuted at the Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow in 1945. New Nutcrackers As Christmas gets closer, The Nutcracker continues to be the festive season’s most popular ballet. Alongside the great classical versions – Vasili Vainonen’s traditional ballet at the Mariinsky Theatre of St Petersburg and George Balanchine’s Nutcracker, much loved by New Yorkers – there are also a number of creations. At the Zurich Opera House, Christian Spuck will be presenting his version which is based directly on the original short story by German writer E.T.A. Hoffmann, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, while at the Théâtre du Capitole de Toulouse, company director Kader Belarbi will be premiering his own new production, set among students at a college. 8 ECHOS NEWS • ECHOS • BREVIECHOS • •BREVES ECHOS • BREVINEWS •• ECHOSECHOS •• BREVIECHOS • •BREVES ECHOS • NEWSECHOS • ECHOS• ECHOS • BREVI• ECHOS • BREVES • ECHOS • ECHOS• ECHOS Sergei Polunin, an acting dancer Sergei Polunin is now into films. After last year’s Dancer documentary that recounted his career and tormented soul (see review of the DVD on our Multimedia page), we now await his appearance on the silver screen in the remake of Murder on the Orient Express, based on the famous thriller by Agatha Christie. On release as from November, the star-studded cast includes names like Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer and Penélope Cruz. Polunin plays the role of Hungarian Count Rudolf Andrenyi who, in the famous 1974 movie directed by Sidney Lumet, had been played by Michael York. The Rus- sian dancer has also acted in another thriller film, to be released in 2018, Red Sparrow directed by Francis Law- rence: it is the story of a Russian ballerina who is forced to become a spy for her gov- ernment. But along with appearing in movies, Polunin is also posing for the camera. David LaChapelle, who directed the famous video-gone-viral that catapulted Polunin to public attention also beyond the ballet world, has taken shots of the dancer, with Canadian actress Pamela Anderson and his fiancée/partner Natalia Osipova, for arts maga- zine King Kong; incidentally, the risqué photos with Anderson remind us of the still of Rudolf Nureyev used to publicise his film Valentino.

Feb 2017 THE PRIMA BALLERINAS OF THE KIROV Диана Вишнёва DIANA VISHNEVA C A T A L O G U E PHILIPPE JORDAN France 1962 The Wandering Banker, Moscow. To survive in the harsh reality of Moscow, the financier Philippe Jordan spends his evenings drawing Indians, creating ballerinas, and meeting oligarchs. And it helps! Philippe is quite an unconventional banker. During working hours he is deals with derivatives, futures and options, but in his private time he makes paintings on glass, and art from paper. “It seemed to me that there was always some magic at the Ballet: the music played, the notes came alive, the ballerinas flew in the air” Philippe was born in Strasbourg, and his stepfather, Robert Grossmann, not only was the vice- mayor of the town of Strasbourg, but also a long-term associate of Nicolas Sarkozy – “the man who thirty years ago taught the future French president the art of public speaking.” The former president of France also has one of Jordan’s works: a courier delivered it, and after a few days, Philippe received a letter of thanks. Unconventional by nature, again in 2010, Philippe invited his friend in Moscow, the French author Michel Houellebecq, who once compared Philippe’s works to those of Giorgio de Chirico. The story of their friendship is downright amazing. After reading the novel "The Map and the Territory," Jordan was shocked - the book’s main character was so much like him. He, like Jordan, met with Abramovich. And also painted a portrait of Houellebecq.

  • The Royal Ballet Tours to Moscow, Taipei and Shanghai
    3 JUNE 2014 THE ROYAL BALLET TOURS TO MOSCOW, TAIPEI AND SHANGHAI The Royal Ballet Tour - Moscow 17 – 22 June / Taipei 27 – 29 June / Shanghai 3 – 5 July This summer The Royal Ballet will tour to Moscow, Taipei and Shanghai for the annual international tour. The Royal Ballet is delighted to return to Moscow, its first visit since 2003, where it will be part of the UK-Russia Year of Culture celebrating the rich and diverse cultural heritage of both countries. As part of the celebrations The Royal Ballet will perform in The Bolshoi Theatre between 17 – 22 June, presenting a Triple Bill of Tetractys by Wayne McGregor, Rhapsody by Frederick Ashton and DGV: Danse à grande vitesse by Christopher Wheeldon. The Royal Ballet will also perform Manon by Kenneth MacMillan, one of the signature works from the Company’s repertory. Tetractys, an exhilarating fusion of baroque music and contemporary dance, received its UK premiere in February and is Wayne McGregor’s latest work for The Royal Ballet. Rhapsody was created in 1980 by Frederick Ashton for the 80th birthday of HM The Queen Mother. It is a celebratory showpiece, set to sweeping music by Sergey Rachmaninoff, and pays tribute to virtuoso dance. Christopher Wheeldon's award-winning DGV: Danse à grande vitesse is a high- octane finale, set to Michael Nyman’s score, MGV (Musique à Grande Vitesse), which was composed to commemorate the 1993 inauguration by the north European line of the French train TGV. Manon, Kenneth MacMillan’s acclaimed tragic ballet is a modern masterpiece telling the story of Manon Lescaut, a young woman longing for love who is corrupted by wealth and luxury in 18th century Paris.

  • Ballet, Culture and Elite in the Soviet Union on Agrippina Vaganova’S Ideas, Teaching Methods, and Legacy
    Ballet, culture and elite in the Soviet Union On Agrippina Vaganova’s Ideas, Teaching Methods, and Legacy Magdalena L. Midtgaard Magdalena Midtgaard VT 2016 Examensarbete, 15 hp Master program, Idéhistoria 120 hp Balett, kultur och elit i Sovjetunionen Om Agrippina Vaganovas idéer, undervisningsmetoder och arv Magdalena Midtgaard vt. 2016 Abstract. Balettutbildning har varit auktoritär och elitistisk i århundraden. Med utgångspunkt i Agrippina Vaganova och hennes metodiska systematisering av balettundervisning diskuteras frågor om elit, lärande och tradition inom balettundervisning. Vaganova var en länk mellan tsartidens Ryssland och det nya Sovjet och bidrog aktivt till att balett som konstform, trots sin aristokratiska bakgrund, fördes vidare och blev en viktig kulturpolitiskt aktivitet i Sovjet. Med underlag i texter av Bourdieu och Said diskuteras elit, kulturellt kapital och elitutbildning för att förklara några av de politiska och samhällsmässiga mekanismer som bidragit till balettens unika position i Sovjet. För att placera Vaganova som pedagog i förhållande till balettundervisning och balett genom tiden, presenteras korta informativa kapitel om baletthistoria, och utveckling och spridning av Vaganovas metod, både i Sovjet/Ryssland och i andra länder. Key words: Classical ballet, Vaganova, ballet education, elite education, cultural politics in the Soviet Union My sincere thanks to Sharon Clark Chang for proof reading and correcting my English, and to Louise Midtgaard and Sofia Linnea Berglund for valuable thoughts on Vaganova and ballet pedagogy and education in general. 2 Contents 1.

  • July 2018 Nickolas Grace Wayne Sleep OBE
    President: Vice President: No. 503 - July 2018 Nickolas Grace Wayne Sleep OBE Shakespeare’s Birthday Party Reviewed by Liz Schafer The guest of honour at the 2018 Vic-Wells Association’s Shakespeare’s birthday party was Claire Bloom and it was particularly appropriate that the party was held in the rehearsal room where Claire rehearsed during her time at the Old Vic. She hadn’t enjoyed studying at the Central School of Speech and Drama, but here at the Vic she had revelled in working on the rôles of Juliet, (with Alan Badel as Romeo and Peter Finch as Mercutio), Ophelia (to Richard Burton’s Hamlet). She also played Viola in a Twelfth Night that included John Neville as Orsino, Paul Daneman as Feste, Richard Burton almost unrecognisable as a bewhiskered Sir Toby Belch and Michael Hordern as Malvolio. Meanwhile Viola’s twin Sebastian was played by Robert Hardy (How could Claire Bloom ever be mistaken for Robert Hardy?). Our President, Nickolas Grace, introduced Claire and pointed out how early her career took off – she was only 21 when she was picked out by Charlie Chaplin to star in Limelight: a daunting prospect, but Chaplin was totally supportive. Nickolas then reminisced about time spent working with Claire on Brideshead Claire Bloom as Thereza in Limelight Revisited when Nickolas played the outrageous Anthony Blanche and Claire played Lady Marchmain. Claire commented that although the cast was stellar, it was producer Derek Granger who was crucial in convincing her to do the series. Claire’s speech was the first try out of the Vic-Wells microphone, purchased so that speakers at parties can be heard more easily.
