Next Generation: the Royal Ballet School Linbury Theatre I 3Rd Year I Saturday 26 June Welcome NEXT GENERATION: THE ROYAL BALLET SCHOOL LINBURY THEATRE I 3RD YEAR I SATURDAY 26 JUNE WELCOME It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Next Generation: The Royal Ballet School at the Linbury Theatre. This has been an extraordinary and unforgettable year of challenge and adaptation for The Royal Ballet School. Today’s performance is a tribute to the resilience and creativity shown by our students and staff throughout that time. Seeing their determination to succeed, separated from each other for so much of the year and unable to train or teach in the studios they love, has been a powerful inspiration. I am delighted that following the sadness of cancelled performances in 2020, we finally have the chance to come together to celebrate their work. I wanted our students to enjoy dancing in front of an audience again, and the best way to do this was to give them as many chances to perform on stage as possible. The School’s teams have, with spectacular effort, put together nine different programmes over 32 performances. Each of the eight year groups will have the chance to dance in their own dedicated performances, culminating in a final collective, socially distanced, performance at the Royal Opera House. I am proud to say that the dedication and hard work of our remarkable community of dancers and teachers mean we can continue to call the School one of the very best in the world. Across this season, dancers of all ages are performing a range of work that shows off the skills they have learnt through their training. Each year the School is fortunate to work with and perform pieces from renowned choreographers and rehearsal directors in preparation for our Summer Performances. We are hugely grateful this year for choreography, direction and kind permissions from: Deborah MacMillan, Peter Wright, Carlos Acosta, Kevin O’Hare, Jiří Kylián, Paul Murphy, Ashley Page, Didy Veldman, Julie Lincoln, Carmen Thomas, Michael Nunn, Billy Trevitt, Anthony Russell-Roberts, Mikaela Polley, Valentino Zucchetti, Mark Annear, Justine Berry, Matt Nicholson, Denis Bonner, Ben Stevenson, Dawn Scannell, Morgann Runacre-Temple and many more. This year, in which collaboration has been so vital, I would like to highlight the invaluable support of the Royal Opera House staff and its superlative orchestra. As always, I wish to convey my gratitude to our Chairman, Christopher Rodrigues CBE, the Board of Governors, our hard-working volunteers and of course our remarkable sponsors whose generosity is the reason we are able to be here today. An extra special thank you to creative agency Imagination for sponsoring our performances and for their continued support of the School. I hope you enjoy and appreciate our students’ much longed-for return to the stage.

  • Coppelia (Ballet in Three Acts)
    2 BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MUSIC DECEMBER 1968 ABRAHAM ct ...eft ,.:a c Bravado bolero "' 'n pleated pants ••• Night-flight of fancy smashes onto the swinging scene with the jingle, jangle, jeweled bolero topping pleated pants and the wildly sleeved shirt. 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.

  • Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes's Coppélia by Arthur E. Lafex Submitted To
    Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes’s Coppélia By Copyright 2013 Arthur E. Lafex Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music. ________________________________ Chairperson Alicia Levin ________________________________ Paul R. Laird ________________________________ David Alan Street Date Defended: April 15, 2013 The Thesis Committee for Author (Arthur E. Lafex) certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes’s Coppélia ________________________________ Chairperson Alicia Levin Date approved: April 15, 2013 ii Abstract Léo Delibes (1836-1891) wrote ballet scores that have inspired composers and have entertained generations of ballet lovers. His scores have been cited for their tunefulness, appropriateness for their narrative, and for their danceability. However, Delibes remains an obscure figure in music history, outside the musical canon of the nineteenth century. Likewise, his ballet music, whose harmonic resources are conventional and whose forms are variants of basic structures, has not received much scholarly and theoretical attention. This thesis addresses Delibes’s music by examining his ballet score for Coppélia, its support of narrative and also its support of dance. Chapter 1 begins with a historical view of ballet and ballet music up to the time of Delibes. Following a biographical sketch of the composer, a review of aspects of the score for Giselle by his mentor, Adolphe Adam (1803-1856) establishes a background upon which Delibes’s ballets can be considered.

  • The Royal Ballet Leavers 2019 Press Release
    June 2019 Nehemiah Kish to retire from The Royal Ballet Principal dancer Nehemiah Kish has announced his decision to retire from The Royal Ballet at the end of the 2018/19 season after nine years with the Company. He will give his last performance on the Royal Opera House stage on Friday 14 June in The Firebird. He will also perform on The Royal Ballet’s tour to Japan in Yokohama in Kenneth MacMillan’s Winter Dreams on 30 June and give his final performance with the Company in Kenneth MacMillan’s Mayerling at the Music Center in Los Angeles on 6 July. He will be embarking on a course of postgraduate study in the arts and cultural policy in the autumn at Goldsmiths, University of London. Born in Michigan, Kish trained at Canada’s National Ballet School and joined the National Ballet of Canada in 2001, where he was promoted to principal in 2005. In 2008, he became a principal of the Royal Danish Ballet, before joining The Royal Ballet as Principal in 2010. Director of The Royal Ballet Kevin O’ Hare said, “Nehemiah has been a wonderful member of the Company and Principal dancer for the past nine years. His elegant presence has been shown to great effect in the danseur noble roles such as Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty. He has brought a keen intelligence to bear on many ballets, notably in the MacMillan repertory including Prince of the Pagodas, Manon and Romeo and Juliet. More recently he has memorably taken on many different characters, including an outstandingly poignant account of the Creature in Frankenstein, the husband in The Concert, Kulygin in Winter Dreams and Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet.

  • 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.
