Like all other great Italian composers, ballet music had to be provided for the versions of his operas that were going to be played at the Theátre de L’Opéra de Paris, as important members of the Jockey Club wanted to see dancers on the stage in all performances . To complete the setting of the Paris Opéra ballets, Rossini’s music supplied the inevitable divertissement for a revival in 1844 of his early Otello (1816) . Now recast in French as Othello; the music was culled from Rossini’s Matilde di Shabran (1821) and Armida (1817) . Unfortunately, the original score has totally disappeared, but due to Keiko Ando Maekawa, who was able to re-create full orchestral scores for each of the instruments by listening to the 1970s recording, we are now able to perform this music live and in its full form on this occasion .

He choreographed dances for other productions of the opera in 1935 for the Metropolitan Opera and, in 1945, for the Opera Nacional, Mexico City . Walpurgisnacht Ballet was choreographed for a 1975 production of Faust by the Théâtre National de l’Opéra, danced by the Paris Opéra Ballet . The New York City Ballet premiere in 1980 was the first presentation of the choreography as an independent work . The Walpurgisnacht scene occurs at the beginning of the opera’s last act, when Mephistopheles brings Faust to watch the traditional celebration on the eve of May Day when the souls of the dead are released to wander at will . Although the ballet does not depict Walpurgisnacht per se, it does build on a sense of joyful revelry . The performance of Walpurgisnacht, a Balanchine® Ballet, is presented by arrangement with The George Balanchine Trust and has been produced in accordance with the Balanchine Style® and Balanchine Technique® Service standards established and provided by the Trust . The Choreographers Frederick Ashton, Les Patineurs. Born in 1904, Frederick Ashton was probably the greatest British choreographer of the 20th cen- tury whose works helped establish the supremacy of The Royal Ballet . Ashton trained with Leonide Massine and Marie Ranbert before joining the Ballet Rambert . His choreographic endeavors began with this company, and his experience extended working for C . B . Cochran revues and for musicals . In 1935, he became Resident Choreographer of the Vic-Wells Ballet (now Royal Ballet), and, from 1963 to 1970, he served as the company’s artistic director . Ashton’s ballets were the foundation of The Royal Ballet repertory and style . They established a recognizably English style of ballet – lyrical, harmonious, musical, and non- ostentatious . Among his best known ballets are La Fille Mal Gardee, Symphonic Variations, The Dream, Cinderella, and Enigma Variations . This is the first Ashton work that IU Ballet Theater has performed . In 1962, Ashton’s achievements were officially recognized when he was knighted, becoming Sir Frederick Ashton . George Balanchine, Walpurgisnacht. The son of a composer, George Balanchine was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in 1904 . He trained at the Imperial Ballet Academy, and in 1925, he joined the Diag- hilev Company in Paris as a choreographer . Balanchine went on to choreograph and to make indelible impressions in opera, ballet, and musical theatre . In 1946, he and American ballet patron Lincoln Kirstein co-founded the company that would two years later become New York City Ballet . Through his choreographic works, Balanchine is considered the foremost rep- resentative of neoclassicism in ballet . Although some of his ballets have a story line, Balanchine is best known for his plotless ballets, such as The Four Temperaments and Jewels, which explore pattern and the movement of the human body to music . IU Ballet Theater is fortunate to include many Balanchine works in its repertoire, most recently Who Cares?, Allegro Brilliante, Serenade, and Symphony Concertante. Sasha Janes, Lascia la Spina, Cogli la Rosa . Sasha Janes was born in Perth, Australia, and he received his dance training at The Aus- tralian Ballet School . After graduating, he toured the U .S . with The Australian Ballet, performing at the Met in New York and the Ken- nedy Center in Washington, DC . He has been a principal dancer with The Hong

BROOKL YN ACADEMY OF MUSIC I DECEMBER 1968 I 3 Saturday Evening, December 28, 1968 The Brooklyn Academy of Music presents Coppelia (Ballet in Three Acts) Choreography after Arthur Saint-Leon Staged by Enrique Martinez Music by Leo Delibes Scenery and Costumes by William Pitkin Lighting by Gilbert V. Hemsley, Jr. At the age of 33, Del1bes was commissioned by the Paris Opera to write his two successful large-scale ballets, "Coppelia" and "Sylvia". "Coppelia" is based on a story by E. T. A. Hoffman - the same tale that spa rked Offenback's brilliant Doll Act in his opera, "Tales of Hoffman" - "Coppelia" met with immediate success on its completion in 1870, and has been held a charming favorite by succeeding ballet-lovers both young and old. Act I The curtain n ses on the Squa re of a small European town several hundred yea rs ago. A lovely young g1rl, Coppelia, is seen reading a book on a balcony as Swanilda enters. Swan1lda looks up at the girl, tries to attract her attention, but receives no reply. Franz, Swanilda's lover, comes 1nto the Square and blows a kiss to the beautiful Coppelia. She 1gnores h1m, too, and cont1nues unconcerned with her book. However, Swanilda has seen these attentions of her lover to another pretty gi rl , and Franz is a very busy young man assunng Swanilda that he is not faithless and his affections are hers alone.

    Teacher’s Handbook 1 Edited by: Carol Meeder – Director of Arts Education February 2006 Cover Photo: Jennifer Langenstein – Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer Aaron Ingley – Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Corps de Ballet Dancer Ric Evans – Photographer 2 Introduction Dear Educator, We have often thanked you, the academic community and educators of our children, for being partners with us in Arts Education. We have confirmed how the arts bring beauty, excitement, and insight into the experience of everyday living. Those of us who pursue the arts as the work of our lives would find the world a dark place without them. We have also seen, in a mirror image from the stage, how the arts bring light, joy, and sparkle into the eyes and the lives of children and adults in all walks of life. Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre strives not only to entertain but to demonstrate the significance and importance of presenting our art in the context of past history, present living, and vision for the future. In this quest we present traditional ballets based on classic stories revered for centuries, such as Coppelia and Cinderella; and contemporary ballets by artists who are living, working, and creating everyday, such as our jazz program Indigo In Motion and the premiers we have done to the music of Sting, Bruce Springsteen, and Paul Simon. In this way we propel our art into the future, creating new classics that subsequent generations will call traditional. It is necessary to see and experience both, past and present. It enhances our life and stirs new ideas. We have to experience where we came from in order to develop a clear vision of where we want to go.
