Characterised by its architectural design and sense of dialogue with the music, this ballet is a model of academic virtuosity, to which Christian Lacroix, an artisan of light and colour, has brought new shape. Accompanying the dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet for the first time, Philippe Jordan, Musical Director of the Opéra national de Paris, conducts this masterpiece of French music. performers Etoiles: Amandis Albisson, Amandine Albisson, Ludmila Pagliero, Mathieu Ganio, Karl Paquette Premiers danseurs: Nolwenn Daniel, Audric Bezard, Vincent Chaillet, Pierre-Arthur Raveau, Emmanuel Thibault and Le corps de Ballet de l’Opéra national de Paris Paris Opera Orchestra arTisTic sTaff Conductor: Philippe Jordan Production proDucTion companies: Opéra national de Paris, Telmondis, Mezzo, with the participation of France Télévisions and the support of the Fondation Orange and of the CNC associaTe proDucers: Antoine Perset – Denis Morlière – Laurent Métivier Distribution DisTribuTion company: Telmondis Distribution 7, Rue du Dôme | F – 92100 Boulogne Billancourt Tel/Fax: + 33 1 40 74 76 20 / 09 | www.telmondis.fr ViDeo formaT: HDCAM, Digibeta, stereo sound and dolby 5.1 ©Photo: Agathe Poupeney - Opéra national de Paris - Opéra ©Photo: Agathe Poupeney www.telmondis.fr.

At the Paris Opera, Stéphane Lissner is putting the finishing touches to his first press conference as director. Backstage, artists and crew prepare to raise the curtain on a new season with Schönberg’s Moses and Aaron. But the announcement of a strike and arrival of a bull in a supporting role complicate matters. At the same time, a promising young Russian singer begins at the Opera’s Academy. In the hallways of Opera Bastille, his destiny will cross paths with that of Bryn Terfel, one of the greatest voices of his time. As the season progresses, more and more characters appear, playing out the human comedy in the manner of a documentary Opera. But this comedy is set against a tragic backdrop when terrorist attacks plunge Paris into mourning. Even though the show must go on at all costs, there is no end of trouble for the new director. Star choreographer Benjamin Millepied jumps ship soon after taking over as director of ballet at Palais Garnier. Preparations for Richard Wagner’s six-hour opera Die Meistersinger reunite the company.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Honors Theses by an authorized administrator of Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel, The Phantom of the Opera, has a considerable number of allusions, some of which are accessible to modern American audiences, like references to Romeo and Juilet. Many of the references, however, are very specific to the operatic world or to other somewhat obscure fields. Knowledge of these allusions would greatly enhance the experience of readers of the novel, and would also contribute to their ability to interpret it. Thus my thesis aims to be helpful to those who read The Phantom of the Opera by providing a set of notes, as it were, to explain the allusions, with an emphasis on the extended allusion of the Palais Garnier and the historical models for the heroine, Christine Daae. Notes on Translations At the time of this writing, three English translations are commercially available of The Phantom of the Opera.

How the Royal Paris Opera Survived the End of the Old Regime

By Victoria Johnson. Chicago and London: The University of Chicago Press, 2008. Pp. xv + 281. $45.00. The question at the heart of Victoria Johnson’s book is an intriguing one: how did the Paris Opera, or the Académie royale de musique as it was known during the Old Regime, avoid disbandment during the French Revolution? If any pre-revolutionary institution exemplified the luxurious consumption and aristocratic privilege decried by the revolutionaries, the Opera was it. Yet the Paris Commune, which took over governance of the Opera from the Maison du roi in February 1790, worked hard to re-organize the institution for the glory of the new regime, and Maximilien Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety, in the midst of the Terror in the spring of 1794, approved the troupe’s relocation from a venue on the outskirts of town to a more commercially viable site in the heart of the city.

The Paris Opera Ballet and the 2019 Pensions Dispute
Notes from the Field: Work | Strike | Dance Notes from the Field Work | Strike | Dance: The Paris Opera Ballet and the 2019 Pensions Dispute By Martin Young Fig. 1: Paris Opera dancers perform in front of the Palais Garnier against the French government’s plan to overhaul the country’s retirement system, in Paris, on December 24, 2019. (Photo by Ludovic Marin/AFP via Getty Images). The day before Christmas Eve 2019, 27 of the Paris Opera’s ballet dancers, alongside a large contingent of the orchestra, staged a 15 minute excerpt of Swan Lake on the front steps of the Palais Garnier. This performance was part of a wave of strike action by French workers against major proposed pension reforms which had, since the start of December, already seen the closure of schools, rail networks, and attractions like the Eiffel Tower, and drawn hundreds of thousands of people into taking part in protests in the streets. As reports of the labour dispute, which would become the longest running strike in France’s history, spread around the world, footage of the Swan Lake performance gained a disproportionate prominence, circulating virally as one of the 131 Platform, Vol. 14, No. 1 & 2, Theatres of Labour, Autumn 2020 key emblematic images of the action. That ballet dancers might become the avatars of struggling workers, and that workers’ struggle might become the perspective through which to view a ballet performance, is an unexpected situation to say the least. As Lester Tomé writes, ballet is ‘a high-art tradition commonly characterized as elitist and escapist, seemingly antipodal to Marxist principles’ (6).

YAGP International Semi-Final Tour Guide Paris, France – November 7
YAGP International Semi-Final Tour Guide Paris, France – November 7 - 10, 2020 Dear Friends, We are thrilled to welcome you to the Youth America Grand Prix 21st competition season. Below, you will find a preliminary timeline to help you plan your schedule, and venue information, in order to help you choose the right Semi-Final location for you. TIMELINE Please note that the posted timeline is NOT FINAL, and is only meant to give you an idea of how each particular semi-final will be structured. For example, the Semi-Final usually begins with the pre-competitive group performances, followed by junior groups, senior groups and ensembles. Workshops usually take place differently in each venue, depending on the size of the group and the location. Depending on additional availability of studio and theater space, we may accommodate additional participants from the waiting list, by making adjustments to the timeline and adding an additional day to the competition. In this case, the timeline will state that additional dates are "pending". If you do not see this, it means the venue has no more available time, and will only accommodate a set number of participants. The breakdown will be made clear in the final timeline and detailed schedule. The first draft of the updated timeline with a detailed schedule will be posted after the registration cut-off date, about five-to-six weeks prior to each semi-final. The final timeline will be posted 7 - 10 days before the event. We strongly suggest that you only finalize travel arrangements after the first draft of the updated schedule has been posted, five to six weeks before the event.

19Th Century Architecture • in the Nineteenth Century, Each Nation Came to Value Its Past As Evidence of the Validity of Its Ambitions and Claims to Greatness
19th Century Architecture • In the nineteenth century, each nation came to value its past as evidence of the validity of its ambitions and claims to greatness. Art and architecture of the remote past came to be regarded as products of cultural and national genius. • Neoclassical, Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance revivals, as well as eclectic style which combines different elements from various historical styles. • Additionally, new building materials - iron, steel and glass, as well as reinforced concrete lead to new architectural forms. Neo-Baroque/Beaux-Arts style A grandiose architectural style as taught at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, widely applied to large public buildings. Beaux-Arts buildings are typically massive; have a symmetrical plan, and rich decoration. The Opera House was built by Garnier for Napoleon the III.
