From March 20 MAY 23 – 25, 2018 to 25, San Francisco Ballet performs four works by Jerome Robbins, and from April 3 to 8, our guest company The National Ballet of Canada will present John Neumeier’s Nijinsky. These programs both feature the work of cultural icons. Jerome Robbins, widely known for his award-winning work on West Side Story and Fiddler on the Roof, made an indelible mark on the field of ballet as well. I first met him as a young dancer in Iceland; he arranged a scholarship for me to study ballet in New York City. I later worked with him at New York City Ballet, and danced in many of his ballets, including two of the ballets on this program, Opus 19/The Dreamer and Other Dances. He was a mentor to me, and a friend. The four ballets on our Robbins program show his enormous range as a choreographer, from the nocturnal mystery of Opus 19/The Dreamer to the ferocity of The Cage and the charm of Other Dances. Both Robbins and his frequent collaborator Leonard Bernstein were born in 1918, a centennial we’re commemorating with Fancy Free, the high-spirited ballet Robbins created to Bernstein’s music, later expanded into the Broadway musical (and film) On the Town. I’m thrilled to welcome The National Ballet of Canada here to AN INVITATION TO DANCE San Francisco with John Neumeier’s Nijinsky. This company, led by Karen Kain, has extraordinary dancers, and I am looking forward to seeing them here in San Francisco for the first time in a decade. John Neumeier created an unconventional San Francisco Ballet School portrait of Vaslav Nijinsky, who himself was both unconventional and iconic. The National Ballet of Canada was the first 2018 Student Showcase company Neumeier allowed to perform this ballet outside of Hamburg Ballet, and these dancers bring a wonderful depth May 23–25, 2018 and authenticity to the work. Celebrating its 25th year, the San Francisco Ballet School Student Showcase PERFORMANCE AND DINNER While The National Ballet of Canada is onstage at the Opera House performing Nijinsky, SF Ballet dancers will be busy demonstrates the School’s remarkable accomplishments throughout the DATE | Wednesday, May 23, 2018 in our studios preparing for Unbound: A Festival of New Works.

  • LES BALLETS DE MONTE-CARLO « Atman » GOYO MONTERO
    CRÉATION LES BALLETS DE MONTE-CARLO « Atman » GOYO MONTERO En sanskrit Atman signifie « le moi » ou « l’âme ». Dans la philosophie hindoue, il s’agit d’un principe primordial qui sépare les êtres vivants sans les désunir totalement. Il est l’essence du moi intérieur connecté et unifié au tout. Ce concept a entrainé Goyo Montero dans une réflexion traitant de l’individu au sein de la société. Le chorégraphe a ensuite transposé cette réflexion à la compagnie des Ballets de Monte-Carlo en tant que groupe de solistes qui travaillent ensemble à la manière d’éléments fluides. Goyo Montero s’efforce ainsi d’attirer l’attention sur le caractère unique de chaque danseur et sur la manière dont sont transcendées les connexions entre les membres de la compagnie. The atman is a Sanskrit word that means inner self or soul. In Hindu philosophy, it is a primordial principle that separates living beings without totally disuniting them. This concept brings Goyo Montero to the reflection over the idea of individual versus group. It is also a reflection of what a Dance company is, and specially the Ballets de Monte-Carlo as a group of incredibly gifted Soloist that work together as a tide group. The choreographer is pointing out the unique character of each dancer and tells us how they transcend when they connect with each other.

Le chorégraphe avait rendu possible une confrontation inédite entre les Ballets de Monte- Carlo et le public, massé autour des danseurs comme dans une arène.

  • La Couleur Du Temps – the Colour of Time Salzburg Whitsun Festival 29 May – 1 June 2020
    SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE PFINGSTEN Künstlerische Leitung: Cecilia Bartoli La couleur du temps – The Colour of Time Pauline Viardot-Garcia (1821 – 1910) Photo: Uli Weber - Decca Salzburg Whitsun Festival 29 May – 1 June 2020 (SF, 30 December 2019) The life of Pauline Viardot-Garcia – singer, musical ambassador of Europe, outstanding pianist and composer – is the focus of the 2020 programme of the Salzburg Whitsun Festival. “The uncanny instinct Cecilia Bartoli has for the themes of our times is proven once again by her programme for the 2020 Salzburg Whitsun Festival, which focuses on Pauline Viardot. Orlando Figes has just written a bestseller about this woman. Using Viardot as an example, he describes the importance of art within the idea of Europe,” says Festival President Helga Rabl-Stadler. 1 SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE PFINGSTEN Künstlerische Leitung: Cecilia Bartoli Pauline Viardot not only made a name for herself as a singer, composer and pianist, but her happy marriage with the French theatre manager, author and art critic Louis Viardot furthered her career and enabled her to act as a great patron of the arts. Thus, she made unique efforts to save the autograph of Mozart’s Don Giovanni for posterity. Don Giovanni was among the manuscripts Constanze Mozart had sold to Johann Anton André in Offenbach in 1799. After his death in 1842, his daughter inherited the autograph and offered it to libraries in Vienna, Berlin and London – without success. In 1855 her cousin, the pianist Ernst Pauer, took out an advertisement in the London-based journal Musical World. Thereupon, Pauline Viardot-García bought the manuscript for 180 pounds.
