THE TEMPEST, a two-act ballet based on the Shakespeare play, is choreographed by Glen Tetley to a commissioned score by Norway' s composer-laureate Arne Nordheim. Decor and costumes are by Nadine Baylis, with lighting by John B. Read. The world premiere of THE TEMPEST, Tetley's first full-length ballet, was commissioned by the Schwetzinger Festival in Germany where it was danced by Ballet Rambert in 1979. The ballet entered the repertory of The Norwegian National Ballet in September, 1980, and has since become the greatest artistic and box-office success in the history of the Company. Nordheim's score, a blend of taped electronic and live orchestral music, is conducted by Charles Darden, former Musical Director of Ballet Rambert, who has conducted all performances of THE TEMPEST. Darden will make his New York debut with THE TEMPEST at BAM where he will conduct the Brooklyn Philharmonic. (The ballet suite of THE TEMPEST has been released on Philips Records (#9598-043). The Norwegian National Ballet, under the artistic direction of Jens Graff, will appear at BAM as an official program of Scandinavia Today, and their engagement has been sponsored in part by The Norwegian Information Service and Nordic-American Banking Corporation. Ballet International will continue at the Brooklyn Academy of Music with performances by The Cull berg Ballet Company, Dutch National Ballet, The Basel Ballet, The Hamburg Ballet and London Contemporary Dance Theatre. Ballet International is presented by the Brooklyn Academy of Music together with the Doii-Lepercq International Dance Fund and the governments of Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the German Federal Republic, and the United Kingdom in association with the New York State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the the Arts, Morgan Guaranty Trust Company and the international business community.

The Ballet Company consisted at that time of 10 dancers chosen from a former group led by Louise Brown and Gerd Kjolaas. This company had already toured in England and Scandinavia with Fonteyn and Helpman appearing as guest artists. Mr. Algeranoff became the newly-formed Norwegian Ballet's first ballet master, and his first production was Coppelia in 1959. In 1960 he was succeeded by Nicholas Orloff, and a year later by Joan Harris. She enlarged the Company by 20 dancers, and The Sleeping Beauty was introduced into the repertc. ire. In 1965 Joan Harris became director of the Norwegian National Ballet School which trains approxiamtely 100 students a year. In 1966 the Company was directed by Brian MacDonald and Henny Murer, holding a repertoire of contemporary choreographers including Anthony Tudor, as well as such classics as Nutcracker and Giselle. In the period from 1966 to 1971 Sonia Arova was to give the Company an international image. Under her direction the repertoire was increased by more full-length produc­ tions such as Romeo and Juliet and Swan Lake, she introduced more Tudor and expand­ ed the size of the Company to prepare it for the Balanchine repertoire. Guest artists such as Rudolf Nureyev, Erik Bruhn and Jean - Pierre Bonnefous were invited to perform with the Company, and extensive tours were undertaken. The Norwegian ballerina Anne Borg succeeded Arova in 1971, holding the directorship for six years. She introduced workshop programmes encouraging choreographers-to-be. This project has been successful, and many workshop ballets have been taken into the repertoire . The first fu 11-length Norwegian work created for the Norwegai n National Ballet was Pinocchio- choreography Henny Murer, music Antonio Bibalo- in 1976. British ballerina Brenda Last held the position as ballet director for three years, 1977- 80, introducing the greatest hit in the history of ballet in Norway so far - Glen Tetley's The Tempest with music by Norwegian composer Arne Nordheim . Since 1980 the Company's director has been the international Norwegian dancer Jens Graff. With the present Company of 42 dancers he has been able to add to the repertoire Rudolf Nureyev's Don Quixote, Laszlo Seregi's Sylvia and Flemming Flindt's recreation of the Bournonville classic The Bridal Procession in Hardanger .

From the very beginning his outstanding talent attracted attention. The first company he joined, Walter Gore's London Ballet, was as a soloist and it was in this position he danced with the Bordeaux Opera, Hamburg Ballet, the Cullberg Ballet and since 1970 he was Principal Dancer with the Royal Opera House in Stockholm. Jens Graff's versatility as a dancer has made him much in demand by such contemporary choreographers as Glen Tetley, Mats Ek, Jiri Kylian, Jose Limon while at the same time his immaculate classical technique is often to be seen in the more traditional repertory. Technical virtuosity combined with a sensitive understanding for any role he dances are the basis for Jens Graff's undisputed position today as one of Scadinavia's leading personalities in the world of dance. Among the many awards for his services to Ballet he has been presented with the Knighthood of Danebrog from Denmark and the Drottningholm Court Theatre's medal of honor presented by His Majesty the King of Sweden .

We thank you for your continued support. We are exceptionally lucky and very proud to have with us this evening, one of the worlds’ most inspiring choreographic minds, Wayne McGregor. An artist who emphasizes collaboration and a wide range of perspectives in his creative process, McGregor brings his own brilliant intellect and painterly vision to life in each of his works. In FAR, we witness the mind and body as interconnected forces; distorted and sensual within the same frame. As ten stunning dancers hyperextend and crouch, rapidly moving through light and shadow to a mesmerizing score, the relationship between imagination and movement becomes each viewer’s own interpretation. An acronym for Flesh in the Age of Reason, McGregor’s FAR investigates self-understanding and exemplifies the theme from Roy Porter’s novel by the same name, “that we outlive our mortal existence most enduringly in the ideas we leave behind.” Strap in.

  • “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.

    JOHN NEUMEIER John Neumeier was born in 1942 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, where he also received his first dance training. He went on to study ballet both in Copenhagen and at the Royal Ballet School in London. He acquired a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature and Theater Studies from Marquette University, Wisconsin, where he created his first choreographic works.

Since 1973 John Neumeier has been Artistic Director and Chief Choreographer of THE HAMBURG BALLET, since 1996 Ballettintendant (General Director). THE HAMBURG BALLET has become one of the leading ballet companies in the German dance scene and soon received international recognition. As a choreographer, Neumeier has continually focused on the preservation of ballet tradition, while giving his works a modern dramatic framework. His commitment to this end has manifested itself particularly in his revised versions of the classical “story ballets”. For his revolutionary choreographies on symphonies by Gustav Mahler he has received particular acclaim throughout the world. His latest creations for THE HAMBURG BALLET, Le Pavillon d’Armide and Orpheus, premiered in 2009, and Purgatorio, premiered in 2011. In 1975, Neumeier created the Hamburger Ballett-Tage, the Hamburg Ballet Festival, a climax and end to each season. In 1978 he founded The School of THE HAMBURG BALLET.
