Shostakovich Trilogy (Parts 1 and 3) in 2014/15 Season the Tempest Postponed #6 Shostakovich Trilogy (Parts 1 and 3) in 2014/15 Season The Tempest Postponed August 15, 2014… Karen Kain, Artistic Director of The National Ballet of Canada, today announced that the company will be performing Alexei Ratmansky’s Shostakovich Trilogy (Parts 1 and 3) May 30 – June 7, 2015 in Toronto at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. The work will replace Mr. Ratmansky’s The Tempest, which is postponed to a future season, and will be presented as part of a mixed programme with Being and Nothingness by Choreographic Associate and Principal Dancer Guillaume Côté. Recognized as one of the most versatile and artistically wide-ranging of contemporary choreographers, Mr. Ratmansky has always maintained a deep and abiding connection to the cultural climate and traditions of his native Russia. In his Shostakovich Trilogy, he turns to the towering musical figure of the ballet’s title and explores through three key works the conflicting dualities of art and politics, imaginative freedom and responsibility, that shaped much of the composer’s life. The San Francisco Chronicle hailed Shostakovich Trilogy “a masterpiece” and The New York Times described it as “fascinating, poetic, enigmatic and bittersweet”. The National Ballet of Canada’s 2014/15 season begins with a tour of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland to the Lincoln Center in New York City, September 9 – 14, 2014. The Fall Season in Toronto opens with Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon, November 8 – 16, 2014, followed by Nijinsky, by John Neumeier, November 22 – 30, 2014. Guillaume Côté is sponsored through Dancers First by Emmanuelle Gattuso and Allan Slaight. Shostakovich Trilogy (Parts 1 and 3) and Being and Nothingness are presented by KPMG LLP.

Recognized as one of the most versatile and in-demand choreographers of his generation, Alexei Ratmansky’s Shostakovich Trilogy was hailed “a masterpiece” by San Francisco Chronicle and described as “fascinating, poetic, enigmatic and bittersweet” by The New York Times.

Beethoven and ballet, it was said for a long time, are a bad fit.

There are statements which develop a life Olympus of Viennese classical music, Haydn of their own. Such is the case with this sen- and Mozart – rejected appointments at prin- tence by the great choreographer George cely courts in order to be free and subjective Balanchine: “Dance should leave Beethoven in his art.

  • “DANCE SERIES 01” in CARMEL March 23 & 24, 2018
    SMUIN PRESENTS “DANCE SERIES 01” IN CARMEL March 23 & 24, 2018 Program includes: Requiem for a Rose by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa Fly Me to the Moon by Michael Smuin Serenade for Strings by Garrett Ammon SAN FRANCISCO, CA (22 February 2018) — Smuin, after a successful run of its annual holiday extravaganza The Christmas Ballet, returns to Carmel with Dance Series 01. Continuing its 24th season, this program includes Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s critically lauded and transcendent piece Requiem for a Rose. Ochoa is an internationally acclaimed choreographer who creates contemporary dance works and also adapts her style for classical ballet companies. At its West Coast premiere with Smuin in fall 2017, San Francisco Classical Voice described the piece as “perfection!” Also on the program is Michael Smuin’s joyful tribute to Ol’ Blue Eyes, Fly Me to the Moon, hailed as “delicious” by the San Francisco Chronicle. This blend of ballet and popular dance is the embodiment of the smooth and stylish melodies that have inspired generations, including Sinatra’s renditions of “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” and “The Lady is a Tramp.” Rounding out the bill is the return of Garrett Ammon’s bold Serenade for Strings. Set to Tchaikovsky’s score of the same name, this work is a vibrant new interpretation of a piece inexorably tied to the iconic 1934 Balanchine ballet. Upon making its West Coast premiere with Smuin in October 2014, the San Francisco Chronicle noted that “the whole cast danced it vibrantly and flawlessly.” The Dance Series 01 program debuted in San Francisco last fall, with San Francisco Classical Voice describing the program as “terrific…in tune with the demand for ballets that aren’t the same old!” Dance Series 01 will be presented March 23-24 at the Sunset Center in Carmel.
