  • Alexander Glazunov
    FROM: AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE 890 Broadway New York, New York 10003 (212) 477-3030 Kelly Ryan ALEXANDER GLAZUNOV When Tchaikovsky died in 1893, Marius Petipa began to search for composers for his ballets. One of those to whom he turned was Alexander Glazunov, who was not yet thirty, but who had been one of the most gifted protégés of Rimsky-Korsakov and who already enjoyed a considerable international reputation. The results of their collaborations were three ballets: the three-act Raymonda in 1898, Glazunov’s first work for the theater, and Les Ruses d’amour and The Seasons, composed in 1898 and 1898, respectively, and produced in 1890, after which Glazunov composed nothing else for the theater. Glazunov was born in 1865 in St. Petersburg into a cultivated family. His talent was evident early, and he began to study the piano at age nine and to compose at age 11. In 1879, he met the composer Mily Balakirev who recommended studies with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, with whom his formal lessons advanced rapidly. At age 16, Glazunov completed his First Symphony, which received its premiere in 1882 led by Balakirev, followed by a performance of his First String Quartet. His talent gained the attention of the arts patron and amateur musician Mitrofan Belyayev, who championed Glazunov’s music, along with that of Rimsky-Korsakov, Anatoly Lyadov, among others, and took Glazunov on a tour of western Europe, during which he met Franz Liszt in Weimar. In 1889, Glazunov led a performance of his Second Symphony in Paris at the World Exhibition.

  • 13 Russian Ballet in the Age of Petipa Lynn Garafola
    13 Russian ballet in the age of Petipa lynn garafola On 24 May 1847 Marius Petipa, a young French-born dancer and ballet master, landed in St Petersburg.1 He was not the first dance artist to brave the long journey to Russia and the rigours of a Russian winter, nor even the only Petipa; only five months later, his own father signed a contract to teach the senior classes at the Imperial Ballet School.2 Like so many other danseurs, Petipa fils was drawn to the “Venice of the North” because of decreasing opportunities for male dancers in the West and the unusually generous terms of an imperial contract, in his case, 10,000 francs a year and “half a benefit” for the position of premier danseur.3 He accepted the offer with alacrity, little imagining that he would remain in Russia until his death in 1910, marry twice there (both times to Russian ballerinas), raise a family and rule the Imperial Ballet from 1869, when he became chief ballet master, to his retirement in 1903. Petipa’s long stewardship of the company had an incalculable effect on Russian ballet. He presided over the shift from romanticism to what is usu- ally termed ballet “classicism”, laid the foundation of the modern Russian school by marrying the new Italian bravura technique to its more lyrical French counterpart and helped transform an art dominated by foreign- ers and identified with the West into a Russian national expression. Petipa choreographed scores of ballets and innumerable dances, codifying their structure while expanding the lexicon of their movements, and created sev- eral generations of distinguished dancers.

    Synopsis Act I St. Petersburg, Russia, at the close of the 18th century. In the Summer Park, Sourin and Tchekalinsky discuss the strange behavior of their fellow officer Hermann. He seems obsessed with gambling, watching his friends play all night, though he never plays himself. Hermann appears with Count Tomsky and admits to him that he is in love with a girl whose name he doesn’t know. When Prince Yeletsky enters, followed by his fiancée, Lisa, and her grandmother, the old countess, Hermann is shocked to realize that Lisa is his unknown girl. After Yeletsky and the women have left, Tomsky tells the others the story of the countess. Decades ago in Paris, she won a fortune at the gambling table with the help of the “three cards,” a mysterious winning combination. She only ever shared this secret with two other people, and there is a prophecy that she will die at the hands of a third person who will force the secret from her. The men laugh at the story except for Hermann, who is deeply affected by it and decides to learn the countess’s secret. In her room, Lisa thinks about her ambivalent feelings for her fiancé and the impression Hermann has made on her. To her shock, he suddenly appears on the balcony. He declares his love and begs her to have pity on him. Lisa gives in to her feelings and confesses that she loves him too. Act II Yeletsky has noticed a change in Lisa’s behavior. During a ball, he assures her of his love.

Marius Petipa: The French Master of Russian Ballet. Brooklyn: Icarus Films, 2019. DVD. 54 mins. $29.98. Reviewed by Jennifer Boivin (University of Alberta)Published on H-SHERA (February, 2021) Commissioned by Hanna Chuchvaha (University of Calgary) Printable Version: https://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=55920 Marius Petipa (1818–1910) is perhaps the most emblematic figure in classical dance and is perceived as the father of ballet as we know it. Born in France in 1818, the aging dancer came to Saint Petersburg, Russia, in 1847 where his career flourished. We owe him the creation and revival of some of the most celebrated ballets in the world: Paquita (1847), La Fille mal gardée (1855), Don Quixote (1869), La Bayadère (1877), Sleeping Beauty (1890), Swan Lake (1895), Raymonda (1898), Giselle (1899), and Le Corsaire (1899). Within dance and dance academic communities, Petipa is the object of profound respect and admiration, and somewhat of a highly idealized character. Literature dedicated to his work is abundant—although not very recent—and most scholars depict him as a genius choreographer. The fifty-four-minute documentary Marius Petipa: The French Master of Russian Ballet presents a more sober portrait of the ballet master. Basing the documentary on four major ballets and on different interviews of specialists and dancers, director Denis Sneguirev traces Petipa’s career in Russia and creates an interesting, complex, and well-balanced film. Sneguirev’s documentary is organized in five parts, all discussing an aspect of Petipa’s work through a specific ballet.
