  • A Mixed Blessing at the Ballet 01
    Daily Telegraph July 28 2001 A mixed blessing at the ballet Photo Sheila Rock As Anthony Dowell leaves the Royal Ballet, dance critic Ismene Brown assesses his 15-year regime as director - and stars pay tribute below AT THE Royal Ballet the countdown has begun to the end of an era. A week tonight, amid flowers, Champagne and tears, Sir Anthony Dowell, the longest-serving ballet director since the company’s founder, Ninette de Valois, will end his 15-year regime. He was undoubtedly one of the great world stars of dancing, and the “Celebration Programme” will mark his achievements as such. But about his success as director of the company, opinion is far from unanimous. What makes a good director? The question has never been more of a poser than during Dowell\s captaincy of the ballet, in the most turbulent years of the Royal Opera House’s history. There are many pluses on Dowell’s account sheet - his maintenance of high classical technical standards, his welcoming of key foreign artists into the Royal (particularly Sylvie Guillem and Irek Mukhamedov), his inspiring coaching, to which leading guest stars attest opposite. The rise of Darcey Bussell to world acclaim, the forging of a superb partnership between Mukhamedov and Viviana Durante, this final, nostalgic and beautiful 2000-01 season - these are positive memories. He will be noted as a conservative, and many welcomed this after an insecure period of modernising under his predecessor, Norman Morrice. Whether conservatism has served the company well for the future, though, is debatable. In the shifting landscape of ballet, conservatism is not enough to hold steady.

  • Don Quixote Press Release 2019
    January 2019 Carlos Acosta’s celebrated production of Don Quixote returns Friday 15 February – Thursday 4 April 2019 Live Cinema relay: Tuesday 19 February 2019 #ROHDonQ Federico Bonelli and Sarah Lamb in Don Quixote, ©ROH/Johan Persson, 2013 Carlos Acosta’s vibrant dance production of Miguel de Cervante’s classic tale Don Quixote returns to the Royal Opera House this Spring. Created specially for The Royal Ballet in 2013, this stunning production tells the story of the bumbling knight Don Quixote and his ever-faithful squire Sancho Panza, and their efforts to help the young lovers Kitri and Basilio. This revival features exciting debuts from Lauren Cuthbertson, Yasmine Naghdi and Mayara Magri as Kitri and Matthew Ball, Alexander Campbell and Marcelino Sambé as Basilio. Don Quixote For all Royal Opera House press releases visit www.roh.org.uk/for/press-and-media includes a number of spectacular solos and pas de deux as well as outlandish comedy and romance as the dashing Basilio steals the heart of the beautiful Kitri. Don Quixote will be live streamed to cinemas on Tuesday 19 February as part of the ROH Live Cinema Season. Carlos Acosta previously danced the role of Basilio in many productions of Don Quixote. He was invited by Kevin O’Hare Director of The Royal Ballet, to re-stage this much-loved classic in 2013. Acosta’s vibrant production evokes sunny Spain with designs by Tim Hatley who has also created productions for the National Theatre and for musicals including Dreamgirls, The Bodyguard and Shrek. Acosta’s choreography draws on Marius Petipa’s 1869 production of this classic ballet and is set to an exuberant score by Ludwig Minkus arranged and orchestrated by Martin Yates.

  • Liebeslieder-Walzer Et Lieder Choisis Johannes Brahms
    Roch-Olivier Maistre, Président du Conseil d’administration Laurent Bayle, Directeur général Jeudi 5 février Johannes Brahms | Liebeslieder-Walzer et lieder choisis Jeudi 5 février | Dans le cadre du cycle Le temps de la danse Du samedi 31 janvier au vendredi 6 février 2009 et lieder choisis Liebeslieder-Walzer Liebeslieder-Walzer Vous avez la possibilité de consulter les notes de programme en ligne, 2 jours avant chaque concert, à l’adresse suivante : www.citedelamusique.fr Johannes Brahms | Johannes Brahms Cycle Le temps de la danse La valse, la bourrée… : toutes les danses dictent leur rythme. Elles donnent le ton et le temps à ceux qui s’y accordent. De la danse traditionnelle thaïe aux Ländler de Brahms, les pulsations d’une chorégraphie réelle ou rêvée emportent la musique et les corps dans leurs tournoiements. Le khon, théâtre traditionnel thaï apparu voici mille ans dans les cours royales d’Ayutthaya, s’imposa rapidement comme le divertissement privilégié des rois. Il met en scène des personnages masqués, richement costumés de brocarts de soie, qui exécutent des danses très codifiées, accompagnées par des musiciens, des chanteurs et des narrateurs. La très forte puissance évocatrice de cet art pictural vivant permet d’entrer en contact avec le monde invisible, de donner âme aux croyances magiques… Et aussi de fonder l’identité de la communauté, de la rassembler sur des temps forts. Le programme imaginé par Jordi Savall sous le titre de Ludi Musici : L’esprit de la danse participe du même paradoxe, pas dansés qui font à la fois la distinction et la communion des corps : il présente un répertoire composite, qui rassemble deux siècles de musiques dansées (de 1450 à 1650) en Europe occidentale, en Asie occidentale et en Amérique latine.

  • Arthur Kleiner, Who Has Been Composing, Arranging and Playing the Piano Accompani­
    he Museum of Modern Art i^ No. 32 |l West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Circle 5-8900 Cable: Modernart FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, March 28, 1967 Arthur Kleiner, who has been composing, arranging and playing the piano accompani­ ments for silent films at The Museum of Modern Art for 28 years, is retiring the first of April, Rene d'Hamonoourt. Director of the Museum, announced today. As Music Director of the Department of Film since 1939, and probably the world's only full- time silent movie pianist, Mr. Kleiner has sought out long-lost scores for innumerable early films, researched films for which the scores could not be found in order to com­ pose the appropriate music, and written scores when none existed. Born in Vienna, Austria, Mr. Kleiner studied piano, organ and theory at the Vienna Music Academy from 191ii to 1921. From then until 1928 he was an accompanist- composer for major dance companies touring throughout Europe and a professor at Max Reinhardt's Seminar for Actors in Vienna, where he also composed scores for numerous plays. He conducted A Midsummer Night's Dream for Reinhardt during the Salzburg Festival of 1933- After arriving in the United States in 1938, his first job was playing piano accompaniment for choreographer George Balanchine, as well as for Agnes de Mille and the Ballet Theatre. In 1939 when he was approached by Iris Barry, first Curator of the Museum's Department of Film, to play for the Museum's screenings, she asked him if he could play ragtime.
