  • Stephanie Jordan Re-Visioning Nineteenth-Century Music Through Ballet
    Stephanie Jordan Re-Visioning Nineteenth-Century Music Through Ballet. The Work of Sir Frederick Ashton Sir Frederick Ashton, founder choreographer of The Royal Ballet, was a noted exponent of nineteenth-century music, especially ballet music. Consider his Les Rendezvous (1933, Daniel-François-Esprit Auber), Les Patineurs (1937, Giacomo Meyerbeer), and Birthday Offering (1956, Alexander Glazunov); then his two/three act ballets La Fille mal gardée (1960, mainly Ferdinand Hérold), Sylvia (1952, Léo Delibes), and The Two Pigeons (1961, André Messager); and finally the two dances to music fromLa Source(Delibes and Léon Minkus), training pieces for the Royal Academy of Dancing (rad) Solo Seal examinations (cir- ca 1956). Nearly all these ballets are to French ballet music for ballet-divertissements within, as well as independent from, opera. Yet we could add Ashton’s settings ofpassages from Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake, his series of ballets to scores by Franz Liszt, The Dream (1964) to incidental music for Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream by Felix Mendelssohn that sounds as if composed for dance, and AMonth in the Country (1976) to Frédéric Chopin (based on the play by Turgenev) which, as we shall see later, has a number of links with nineteenth-century Paris. Month is set to three early Chopin scores for piano and orchestra that are full of dances and dance rhythms. (Ashton maintained a penchant for more recent French music too: he set Darius Milhaud, Paul Dukas, Erik Satie, Francis Poulenc, Claude Debussy and, on a number of occasions, Maurice Ravel.)1 Most of these ballets are well-known Ashton, amongst his finest work, and never lost from the repertory.

ANEMOI 30 minutes INTERVAL 20 minutes DIVERTISSEMENTS 50 minutes THE ROYAL BALLET INTERVAL 25 minutes Director THE SLEEPING BEAUTY ACT III 45 minutes KEVIN O’HARE CBE Founder DAME NINETTE DE VALOIS OM CH DBE Founder Choreographer WELCOME SIR FREDERICK ASHTON OM CH CBE Following recently presented works by Crystal Pite, Kyle Founder Music Director Abraham, George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins, I am CONSTANT LAMBERT delighted to welcome you to our last mixed programme Prima Ballerina Assoluta celebrating the breadth of The Royal Ballet’s repertory and DAME MARGOT FONTEYN DBE the exceptional artistry of our performers. We have great pleasure in sharing ballet spanning the generations from Ninette de Valois’s third act of The Sleeping Beauty to a world premiere by one of our Company choreographers. Anemoi by First Soloist Valentino Zucchetti was created especially for the talents of the youngest members of The Royal Ballet. Inspired by Greek mythology where Anemoi gods rule over the winds, this world premiere ushers in brighter times with positive winds of change and the warm arrival of spring. A series of evocative duets follows from the two choreographers who shaped the early history of The Royal Ballet, Frederick Ashton and Kenneth MacMillan, alongside some of the most distinctive voices in dance today, Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor, Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon and the internationally acclaimed Swedish choreographer Mats Ek. Ashton’s effervescent Voices of Spring and MacMillan’s BEAUTY poignant Winter Dreams ‘farewell’ pas de deux accompany McGregor’s Morgen, a touching moment of hope for better times as conveyed in Richard Strauss’s setting of John MIXED Henry Mackay’s poem, and Wheeldon’s heartfelt After the Rain pas de deux set to Arvo Pärt.
