    OREGONBALLETTHEATRE CHRISTOPHER STOWELL / ARTISTIC DIRECTOR STUDENT PERFORMANCE SERIES STUDY GUIDE OCTOBER 18, 2007 / KELLER AUDITORIUM mer Night’ idsum s Dre A M S Y N O P S I S am A GARDEN PartY Hippolyta and Theseus have invited friends to a lavish celebration of their wedding. Jovial guests tumble into the garden from a wedding tent. They decide to entertain each other with a play in which to learn of love in all its variety. Props in hand, they slip from the garden into a land that lies between reality and fantasy. IN A MAGICAL WOOD The ancient forest glimmers with woodland creatures—fairies, too, for those eyes that can see them. A band of traveling performers come and go. Oberon, King of the Fairies, appears, quarreling with Titania, his Queen, over possession of a Changeling Boy. Two mortal couples wander by—Hermia and Lysander, happily in love with one another; and Helena, pursuing Demetrius, who yearns only for Hermia. DEEPER IN THE GOSSAMER WOOD Oberon commands that Puck, his page, marshal Cupid’s magic to aid Helena’s plight. But the magic goes awry and chaos ensues. Oberon and Queen Titania continue their quarrel until Oberon angrily summons Puck to trick Titania into falling in love with a donkey. Seeing that the resulting discord has upset the balance of the world, Oberon enlists Puck and Cupid to set things right. BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON Re-affirming their vows, Oberon and Titania reach a deeper understanding of love and harmony is restored. Costume renderings by Sandra Woodall Welcome to the Study Guide for Oregon Ballet Theatre’s 2007 Fall Student Performance Series.

Dear Northrop Dance Lovers, Northrop at the University of Minnesota Presents We are thrilled to present The Hong Kong Ballet in their first Northrop appearance. The company is celebrating their 35th anniversary this year, and we join them in celebration of this milestone. In a rare treat for lovers of ballet, and lovers of beautiful music, Hong Kong Ballet has commissioned acclaimed Australian choreographer Natalie Weir to create a dramatic and romantic story ballet from Puccini’s famous opera, Turandot. Weir’s exquisite partnering work and signature dance vocabulary is the perfect choice to bring this story of love and sacrifice to vibrant life. A passionate tale of ancestral revenge and the transformative power of love, Turandot follows the story of Prince Calàf who gambles his life on the chance to win the love of ice-cold Artistic Director MADELEINE ONNE Christine Tschida. Photo by Patrick O'Leary, Princess Turandot. The princess, whose beauty draws suitors University of Minnesota. from far and wide, makes each hopeful petitioner answer Senior Ballet Master LIANG JING three riddles. But this is no parlor game: Those who answer incorrectly pay with their lives. Ballet Mistress TANG MIN Weir set the ballet to Giacomo Puccini’s lush and beautiful original score that audiences will instantly recognize. Puccini (known for such masterworks as Madame Butterfly and La Bohème) left Turandot Executive Director PAUL TAM unfinished when he died, but composer and pianist Franco Alfano finished it a couple years later.
