CONTEMPORARY COLLECTION Bolero Music by Maurice Ravel Video Link Choreography by Anatoly Emelianov The Crown of Russian Ballet CONTEMPORARY COLLECTION Bolero Music by Maurice Ravel Video Link Choreography by Anatoly Emelianov. 10-12 dancers The premiere took place on February 10, 2011 in Queretaro (Mexico) And we are born from one, and we are similar to each other, and at first there is no difference between us. But over time, between us their are features of a completely different, incomprehensible nature , which grows into mistrust and irritation, eventually becoming a confrontation that ends in death. And this can all happen again ... Video Link Carmen Music by Bizet – Shchedrin - 40 min. 12-16 dancers Carmen Music by Bizet – Shchedrin - 40 min. 12-16 dancers Video Link “Carmen” by Georges Bizet. For almost a century and a half the image of Carmen irresistibly attracts many artists who embody it in verse and prose, in music and theatre, in painting and cinema. For the first time the plot about the most famous and passionate gypsy became a fact-art in 1845, when the French writer Prosper Merimee wrote his novel. A year later the young choreographer Marius Petipa created a one-act ballet “Carmen and Toreador” on stage at the Madrid Theatre, 29 years later one of the most famous opera masterpieces - “Carmen” of Georges Bizet appears. Since then, the image of the Spanish gypsy is inextricably linked with the music of the great Frenchman. In the XX century ballets using the score of Bizet, appeared regularly. Among the most famous are Carmen by Roland Petit, created by him in 1949 for Zizi Jeanmaire, and a 1971 performance in Stuttgart by John Cranko where Marcia Heide danced. Among less well known works - the choreographic opus of Americans R. Paige and B. Stoun called “Rifles and castanets.” It is almost unknown that in Russia in the 30s the same attempt was made by the choreographer-innovator Kasyan Goleizovsky. In 1967, a new name appeared on the playbill of the Bolshoi Theatre - the ballet “Carmen Suite”. Bizet’s music in the modern transcription of the composer Rodion Shchedrin, choreography by Alberto Alonso. In the centre of the ballet is the tragic fate of the Gypsy Carmen and the beloved soldier Jose, whom Carmen leaves for the sake of the young Torero. The relationship between the heroes and the death of Carmen at the hands of Jose is predetermined by Rock. Thus, the history of Carmen (in comparison with the literary source and the opera by Bizet) is solved in a symbolic sense, which is strengthened by the unity of the place of action (the bullfighting platform). Daylight Leaves Earth Music by Petr Tchaikovsky (6th Symphony) Choreography by Anatoly Emelianov Libretto by Anna Akeksidze - 40 min. 21 dancers and 6-12 children We all come to this world alone and leave it alone.

Count Albrecht, Duke of Silesia, has fallen in love with Giselle. He disguises himself as a peasant in order to court her. Hilarion, a gamekeeper, who also loves Giselle, suspects the true identity of his rival and warns her to be wary of the stranger. The peasants return with the last of the grape harvest and join in a dance with Giselle and the disguised Count. Laughing off her mother’s warning that her passion for dancing might be endangering her life, Giselle is crowned Queen of the Vine. A hunting party led by the Duke of Courland with his daughter Bathilde, stops at Giselle’s cottage to rest. Hilarion, learning that Bathilde is dethroned to Count Albrecht, reveals the truth to Giselle. The shock is too great for her and she dies, heartbroken.

Libretto and choreography by Anatoly Emelianov - 30 min.15-20 dancers The performance is on a stage, in which the character of the main characters are written out with graphic accuracy, and the temperamental, fascinating beauty of the lines of dance is the story of a complicated relationship within the eternal love triangle. Add to this the charming little gypsies dancing along with adults and you will understand that it is absolutely necessary to see “Gypsy motives”. The Kursk Songs Music by Georgy Sviridov, Igor Stravinskiy Choreography by Anatoly Emelianov. 13 dancers “Kursk songs” - the secret breath of the Russian land. Listening to them, it seems that the pictures of the life of our fathers and grandfathers are resurrecting before us, the melody itself opens the door to the long-gone, but painfully native. Feel what they were, these people, and you realize that they are the same as we are. They experienced, believed, hoped and loved. Truly, the human soul is an uncharted world. And this soul is poured out in “The Kursk songs”. The more you listen to this music, the more you go deeper into this boundless Russian beauty, each time discovering new facets of exciting sounds. In these songs you cannot help falling in love, because they were born from us. The ballet was staged in association with the “Russian Classic Orchestra” company. Snow White Video Link & the Seven Dwarfs Music by Pavlovsky – 40 min The ballet “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” is based on the German fairy tale by the brothers Grimm about Snow White living in a castle with her evil stepmother, the Queen, who was very proud of her beauty. Learning from a magic mirror that Snow white was the most beautiful girl in the world, her stepmother decided to kill her pretty stepdaughter. But the poor girl did not die in the woods, but on the contrary, she met some real friends - seven funny dwarves: Bashful, Doc, Dopey,Happy , Sleepy, Sneezy and Grumpy . This ballet is not just a beautiful tale of good and evil characters; this is also a romantic story that teaches us that we all have a Guardian angel, which gives us faith and hope for a bright future on the difficult road of life. This story of a beautiful girl who has been alive for more than two centuries. Born in German folklore, she became the property of all mankind, due to the great storytellers the brothers Grimm “...her eyes were as blue as the lake, her lips red as rose petals. And her face was white as pure snow. And that’s why they called her Snow White.” The Time Music by Avro Part - 20 min. 7 dancers and 1 child Time... We do not hear it pass. We neither feel it nor see it. Yet in our every thought, movement, word, it beats with the incessant pulse of eternity. It seems it is not present. Not true. Slowly, imperceptibly, with secret aspiration, it moves step-by-step forward, and to it the distant future opens the door. It would seem time is here - not born yet! But look, it has already disappeared from the face of the earth forever, leaving only vague memories which completely dissolve in seconds, minutes, years. How painful to realize this thought, and how hard to be hopeful and aspire to something knowing the result is its ending. Stop! Inhale this time - just now - it is yours and yours alone. Understand it and do not condemn. Tristan and Isolde Music by Tchaikovsky, Mahler, Shostakovich, Barber as well as music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance - 40 min Tristan and Isolde Act I Act II Selfless love em the meaning of life.

Ballet Hispanico: CARMEN.maquia Facebook Twitter Print Email Pinterest More Sat, March 21, 2020 @ 7:30pm Category: dance Victoria Theater @ New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) One Center Street Newark, NJ 07102 Ballet Hispánico, the nation’s premier Latin dance organization, brings its celebrated CARMEN.maquia, a sensual, full-length work created by Spanish choreographer Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, inspired by Bizet’s beloved opera. Fueled by physically charged choreography that fuses contemporary dance with Spanish paso doble and flamenco, CARMEN.maquia takes its cues from the 1845 novella by Prosper Mérimée and the 1875 opera by Georges Bizet. The ballet tells the dramatic story of Carmen, a spirited gypsy, and her love triangle with the doting Don Jose, an army officer, and Escamillo, a bullfighter. In his version, Sansano reimagines Carmen in a Picasso-inspired setting, with a white, canvas-like set and sculptural costumes made to evoke the inside of traditional flamenco attire. Bizet’s classic score remains the soundtrack, in the form of various orchestral versions with no vocals. Currently under the artistic direction of Eduardo Vilaro, Ballet Hispánico tours worldwide with a diverse repertory by some of the foremost choreographers of our time as well as emerging artists. The company is acclaimed for works that fuse Latin dance with classical and contemporary techniques to create a new style in which theatricality and passion propel every move. “Ballet Hispánico shows what it is to be Latino in the modern world,” says The Financial Times.

In the arias and scenes that follow, we witness characters in just this kind of moment; searching for meaningful contact yet being somehow barred from achieving it. Through circumstance, distance, convention, misunderstanding, pride, fear, ego, or what have you, we may find ourselves in situations similar to the characters in this program, while looking forward to the days when connection can be more easily achieved and separation the exception to the rule.

  • On Modernity, Identity and White-Collar Boxing. Phd
    From Rookie to Rocky? On Modernity, Identity and White-Collar Boxing Edward John Wright, BA (Hons), MSc, MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. September, 2017 Abstract This thesis is the first sociological examination of white-collar boxing in the UK; a form of the sport particular to late modernity. Given this, the first research question asked is: what is white-collar boxing in this context? Further research questions pertain to social divisions and identity. White- collar boxing originally takes its name from the high social class of its practitioners in the USA, something which is not found in this study. White- collar boxing in and through this research is identified as a practice with a highly misleading title, given that those involved are not primarily from white-collar backgrounds. Rather than signifying the social class of practitioner, white-collar boxing is understood to pertain to a form of the sport in which complete beginners participate in an eight-week boxing course, in order to compete in a publicly-held, full-contact boxing match in a glamorous location in front of a large crowd. It is, thus, a condensed reproduction of the long-term career of the professional boxer, commodified for consumption by others. These courses are understood by those involved to be free in monetary terms, and undertaken to raise money for charity. As is evidenced in this research, neither is straightforwardly the case, and white-collar boxing can, instead, be understood as a philanthrocapitalist arrangement. The study involves ethnographic observation and interviews at a boxing club in the Midlands, as well as public weigh-ins and fight nights, to explore the complex interrelationships amongst class, gender and ethnicity to reveal the negotiation of identity in late modernity.

This dissertation explores the musical relationship between these two troubled countries and aims to explain the similarities and differences in their approaches to collective singing. The discussion of the very complex and problematic relationship between the German left and the Soviet government sets the framework for the analysis of music. Beginning in late 1920s, as a result of Stalin’s abandonment of the international revolutionary cause, the divergences between the policies of the Soviet government and utopian aims of the German communist party can be traced in the musical propaganda of both countries.

  • Overture Opera Guides
    overture opera guides in association with We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with Overture Publishing on this series of opera guides and to build on the work English National Opera did over twenty years ago on the Calder Opera Guide Series. As well as reworking and updating existing titles, Overture and ENO have commissioned new titles for the series and all of the guides will be published to coincide with repertoire being staged by the company at the London Coliseum. We hope that these guides will prove an invaluable resource now and for years to come, and that by delving deeper into the history of an opera, the poetry of the libretto and the nuances of the score, read- ers’ understanding and appreciation of the opera and the art form in general will be enhanced. John Berry Artistic Director, ENO The publisher John Calder began the Opera Guides series under the editorship of the late Nicholas John in association with English National Opera in 1980. It ran until 1994 and eventu- ally included forty-eight titles, covering fifty-eight operas. The books in the series were intended to be companions to the works that make up the core of the operatic repertory. They contained articles, illustrations, musical examples and a complete libretto and singing translation of each opera in the series, as well as bibliographies and discographies. The aim of the present relaunched series is to make available again the guides already published in a redesigned format with new illustrations, some newly commissioned articles, updated reference sections and a literal translation of the libretto that will enable the reader to get closer to the intentions and meaning of the original.

No part of this work covered by the copyright hereon may be reproduced or used in any form or by any means graphic, electronic, or mechanical, including photocopying, recording, taping, Web distribution or information storage retrieval systems without the written permission of the publisher. Summary The Faerie Queene is a long epic poem that begins and ends with Christian affirmations. In it, Edmund Spenser draws on both Christian and classical themes, integrating the two traditions with references to contemporary politics and religion. The poem begins with a representation of holiness in book 1, and the Mutabilitie Cantos (first printed with the poem in 1609 after Spenser’s death) conclude with a prayer. Book 1 is identified as the Legend of the Knight of the Red Cross (or Saint George) in canto 2, verses 11-12. Red Cross, as an individual, is the Protestant Everyman, but as Saint George, historically England’s patron saint, he also represents the collective people of England. He is a pilgrim who hopes to achieve the virtue holiness, and for the reader his adventures illustrate the path to holiness. Red Cross’s overarching quest, as an individual, is to behold a vision of the New Jerusalem, but he also is engaged in a holy quest involving the lady Una, who represents the one true faith. To liberate Una’s parents, the king and queen, Adam and Eve, Red Cross must slay the dragon, who holds them prisoner. The dragon represents sin, the Spanish Armada, and the Beast of the Apocalypse, and when Red Cross defeats the dragon he is in effect restoring Eden.
