NORTHSTAR SYSTEM: 295-HP V8 • SPEED-SENSITIVE STEERING · TRACTION CONTROL · PLUS DUAL AIR BAGS , PLEASE CALL 1-800-333-4CAD Copyright 2010, Michigan Opera Theatre A MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL DIREaOR Dear Friends, It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Michigan Opera Theatre's 22nd season! Perhaps one of our most popular ever in terms of repertory, it features the renowned artists and emerging operatic talent you have come to expect from Michigan Opera Theatre. Looking back on the success of the 1991/92 season, I am sure you share with me the pride at having been a part of the company's Midwestern premiere performances of Karol Szymanowski's King Roger and with the company premieres of Samson and Delilah and Candide, plus the critically acclaimed productions of Lucia di Lammermoor and The Mikado. This season boa:sts its own set of company premieres: from Side by Side by Sondheim, a revue of the award winning music and lyrics of ~roadway's reigning king, and Detroit's first professional production in 30 years of The Music Man, to the season finale, our very own producti~n of the grand classical ballet The Sleeping Beauty. In the spring, grand opera returns to the stage of the Masonic Temple with perhaps the world's most beloved opera, Puccini's tale of life and love among the bohemians of Paris' 19th century Latin Quarter, La Boheme. Two casts of rising young operatic talent will interpret Puccini's passionate score. In 1985, Michigan Opera Theatre presented its first production of Verdi's immortal Aida, starring Leona Mitchell in her first United States performances in the title role. Miss Mitchell will return to the Masonic Temple in May to reinterpret the role she has performed in the world's greatest opera houses, and she will be joined by two stellar casts of outstanding international artists. Most significantly, this season of grand opera, classic American musical theatre and grand classical ballet reflects a microcosm of the expanded programming we will be presenting once the Detroit Opera House project is completed and the company moves into its permanent home. Finally, I wish to thank the many corporations, foundations , government agencie~ and private individuals who have supported the company's extensive activities, from main stage productions to our vitally important educational and outreach programs throughout the State. Without your generosity, none of our successes would have been possible and our future would indeed be uncertain. Whether this is your first visit or 22nd season with us, you are a very important part of this performance today, and I hope you enjoy your experience at the opera.

  • Ballet's Influence on the Development of Early Cinema
    Ballet’s Influence on the Development of Early Cinema and the Technological Modification of Dance Movement Jennifer Ann Zale Abstract Dance is a form of movement that has captured the attention of cinema spectators since the medium’s inception. The question of the compatibility between dance, particularly ballet, and cinema has been fiercely debated since the silent era and continues to be discussed by scholars and practitioners in the twenty-first century. This topic was of particular interest in the Russian cinema industry of the 1910s, in a country where ballet was considered to be among the most prestigious of the art forms. This article explores ballet’s influence on the development of silent cinema in pre-revolutionary Russia and the ways in which cinema technologies alter dance as an art form. This topic is discussed through the career of Vera Karalli, Imperial ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater turned Russia's first film star. I question the legitimacy of the argument that film can only preserve a disfigured image of a dancer’s body in motion. Many critics of Karalli’s cinematic performance fail to take into consideration the direct influence of the cinematography, editing style, and overall conditions of the Khanzhonkov Studio of 1914-1917 on the finished product. This article explores the cinematic rendition of the moving (dancing) body, taking into account the technology responsible for producing the final image. The study draws upon primary sources found in Moscow’s libraries and archives. Keywords: Dance in cinema; film history; Russian cinema; silent cinema; Vera Karalli. he final years of the Czarist era were a fruitful time period in the history of Russian ballet that included a combination of both innovative and classical choreography.

  • Nutcracker Program 2014Opt.Pdf
    Nutcrackerthe SEISKAYA BALLET Nutcrackerthe Casse Noisette Early in 1891 the legendary composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky received a commission from the Imperial Theatre Directorate at St. Petersburg to compose a one-act lyric opera together with a ballet for presentation during the following season. Accepting Tchaikovsky’s choice of sub- ject for the opera, the Theatre Directorate selected Alexandre Dumas’ French adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s tale, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, for the ballet. Tchaikovsky was not pleased with the subject selection because he felt it did not lend itself to theatrical presentation and was therefore quite unsuited to serve as a scenario for a ballet. Both the opera and ballet were presented on December 18, 1892. The ballet, conducted by Ric- cardo Drigo, was received somewhat unfavorably. Dance historians have attributed this to the Nutcracker’s unusual story, which was quite different from the romantic tales normally presented. The Nutcracker choreography was begun by the redoubtable Marius Petipa. The balance of the work was taken up by his assistant Leon Ivanov when Petipa fell ill. According to historical accounts, when the ballet was finally produced, Petipa refused to have his name linked with it, feeling his own part in its creation was insufficient to be publicly announced. However, dance historians have recognized his contribu- tion, and the original choreography is generally credited to both Petipa and Ivanov. First presented in Western Europe by the Sadler’s Wells Ballet at the Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London, January 30, 1934, the production was staged by Nicholas Sergeyev after the original Petipa-Ivanov version.

  • The Bolshoi Meets Bolshevism: Moving Bodies and Body Politics, 1917-1934
    THE BOLSHOI MEETS BOLSHEVISM: MOVING BODIES AND BODY POLITICS, 1917-1934 By Douglas M. Priest A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History – Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT THE BOLSHOI MEETS BOLSHEVISM: MOVING BODIES AND BODY POLITICS, 1917- 1934 By Douglas M. Priest Following the Russian Revolution in 1917, the historically aristocratic Bolshoi Ballet came face to face with Bolshevik politics for the first time. Examining the collision of this institution and its art with socialist politics through the analysis of archival documents, published material, and ballets themselves, this dissertation explains ballet’s persisting allure and cultural power in the early Soviet Union. The resulting negotiation of aesthetic and political values that played out in a discourse of and about bodies on the Bolshoi Theater’s stage and inside the studios of the Bolshoi’s Ballet School reveals Bolshevik uncertainty about the role of high culture in their new society and helped to define the contentious relationship between old and new in the 1920s. Furthermore, the most hostile attack on ballet coming from socialists, anti- formalism, paradoxically provided a rhetorical shield for classical ballet by silencing formalist critiques. Thus, the collision resulted not in one side “winning,” but rather in a contested environment in which dancers embodied both tradition and revolution. Finally, the persistence of classical ballet in the 1920s, particularly at the Ballet School, allowed for the Bolshoi Ballet’s eventual ascendancy to world-renowned ballet company following the second World War. This work illuminates the Bolshoi Ballet’s artistic work from 1917 to 1934, its place and importance in the context of early Soviet culture, and the art form’s cultural power in the Soviet Union.
