Dayton Ballet Company 2018–2019 Message from the President Paul Helfrich, President & CEO, Dayton Performing Arts Alliance Welcome to the Victoria Theatre and Dayton Ballet’s presentation of Perspectives! We’re glad you’re here. We had a great holiday season with 10 well-attended performances of The Nutcracker; in fact, it was our second-best attendance ever for Nutcracker, since the opening of the Schuster Center. Thanks to everyone who came out! I am always so proud of the efforts of our dancers, musicians, and production staff in a presentation that shows, once again, how the Alliance allows Dayton to experience performances that would more typically be found only in the largest cities. You don’t need to go to New York to see a great production of a classic ballet—we’ve got our own first-rate company right here in Dayton. Now I look forward to a very different type of ballet presentation this weekend—one that will showcase new directions in choreography and a more intimate style of dance. I’m also looking forward to our recently announced 2019–2020 Titans Season. Here are some highlights, beginning with the Ballet season. The season opens in September with a staged and choreographed dramatization of Haydn’s familiar oratorio, The Creation. As with the past season’s unique rendition of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, this is a work that is well known as a concert piece, but we will take it in an exciting new direction. Uniting powerful dance and innovative stagecraft with the iconic music, we will add new dimensions to the work with dramatic stage lighting, vivid projections, and brand-new choreography by our own Karen Russo Burke. The dancers of Dayton Ballet company, three soloists from Dayton Opera, our combined Opera and Philharmonic Choruses, and the complete Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra will unite for a program that will showcase a familiar work in a bold, groundbreaking style. In October, Dayton Ballet presents a repertory performance of ballets fitting for the autumn season entitled Phantom Dances. The December holidays wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Land of Sweets in Tchaikovsky’s beloved The Nutcracker, which returns once again for ten incredible performances. February brings highlights from two acclaimed and well-known works to the stage on one program with Love Vignettes: Carmen and Butterfly Suite. The season closes in April with a varied collection of beautiful dances, including a new work from internationally acclaimed choreographer Ma Cong, a vignette of A Streetcar Named Desire, and much more in a program called Innovations. In addition to Dayton Ballet’s season, there will be many other wonderful performances as Dayton Opera will offer works ranging from Puccini’s La bohème to a rare opportunity to hear Baroque opera with Going for Baroque!, a program that will also feature Dayton Ballet. The Philharmonic Masterworks season will celebrate Beethoven on the occasion of his 250th birthday, as well as recognizing our own Neal Gittleman for 25 years with the orchestra. There’s also a brand-new series of films live with orchestra, including Apollo 13, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Putting the new season together with my amazing colleagues is one of my favorite parts of the job. I invite you to pick up a brochure in the lobby and check out all that we have to offer. It is an honor indeed to work with our fantastic artists—singers, dancers, and orchestral musicians—in bringing such great performances to the community. If you have comments you wish to share or questions you wish to ask, please contact me at [email protected]. With my hearty greetings, Paul A. Helfrich President & CEO 2018–2019 SEASON Page 11 The s e c o n d month of the “Made in A m e r i c a Festival” of the Dayton P h i l h a r - monic was a concert of works as A m e r i c a n as apple pie. Amer- ican musical icons Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland shared the stage of the Schuster with Dayton’s premiere composer Steven Winteregg. Winteregg, commissioned by the Philharmonic to write a “serious piece,” chose the most somber of themes, the battle with cancer. Dedicated to his lovely wife Candy and her treatment and survival from breast cancer, the music was compelling but far from glum. Winteregg has an ability with melodic line and intricate rhythms making his music persuasive and delightful. We are fortunate in Dayton to have heard his music from the Philharmonic and Dayton Ballet. Resolution, beautifully played by the musicians of the Philharmonic was full of energy and emotion. There were, perhaps a few too many percussion interrup- t i o n s with the musical line, but the total effect was well received. Bernstein’s Serenade after Plato’s Symposium was a first hearing for the audience. I was certain that the piece would be like several other of Bernstein’s classical works, a wandering opus lacking the focus of his lighter compositions. After hearing Serenade, I owe “Lennie” a profound apology. The work was conceived to be an exposition of Plato’s familiar student assignment, The Symposium. It is remembered as a wine-sodden discussion on the various phases of love by convivial philosophers. Serenade succeeded, not as philosophic guide, but as a stunning piece of music, a violin sonata with orchestral accompaniment. Each of the five parts was full of musical nuances and expressions. Each of these nuances and expressions was presented to perfection by young violinist Philippe Quint and the master musicians of the Philharmonic. Included was a remarkable double cadenza by Quint and Principal Cellist Christina Coletta.. Quint, a The Oakwood Register Applauding The Arts Weekly with Burt Saidel 294-2662 • 435 Patterson Rd., Dayton, Ohio www.oakwoodregister.com Page 12 DAYTON BALLET Message from the Board Chair John Beran, Chair, Dayton Performing Arts Alliance Board of Trustees Greetings Fellow DPAA Patrons, We are now into the middle third of our season, which will feature our wonderful Holiday performances such as The Nutcracker, Handel’s Messiah, Hometown Holiday, and John Denver Rocky Mountain Christmas. This made me stop and wonder how you may prepare to share the season with your family and friends. Will there be large gatherings, family traditions and extended travel? Will you reflect on the year past and look upon it with fondness and hope for the future? My hope is that everyone will welcome the Holidays with a spirit of joy and reflection and that you will look forward with excitement to the performances you will be attending through the winter months. As I mentioned in my last message, the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance completed a strategic plan with its vision to transform lives through the power of music and dance. After attending many of the DPAA performances since September, I hope you feel that what we have produced is fulfilling that vision. In addition, I want to share with you some of the remarkable work of the DPAA’s education programs. For the period from July 2017, through June 2018, the DPAA education programs served 74,000 students, covering 159 schools in 14 counties. The programming included our family concerts featuring Ballet, Opera and Philharmonic; Young People’s Concerts; the Dayton Philharmonic Youth Orchestra; the Dayton Ballet School; and the outreach facilitated by our Dayton Philharmonic Volunteer Association and Opera Guild. This level of educational programming is core to our purpose of being recognized as our community’s indispensable source for innovative experiences in the performing arts. For without engaging the youth of our community, what will be the future for arts programming in Dayton? So as you prepare to celebrate the Holidays and look ahead to the New Year, I ask that you reflect on the role each of us plays in keeping the performing arts a vibrant force for culture and education in the community. When you attend the performances and celebrate the artistry and magic of our Ballet, Opera and Philharmonic, please remember that together we all share in the responsibility to grow the performing arts for future generations. Thank you for making the performances of your Dayton Performing Arts Alliance a part of your Holiday (and beyond) celebrations. I hope they will remain and become for you a lasting tradition. 2018–2019 SEASON Page 13 Page 14 DAYTON BALLET Message from the Artistic Director Karen Russo Burke, Dayton Ballet Welcome to Perspectives, our first and only repertory program this season! What is a “rep” show? Such a show usually includes four or more smaller dance pieces, all entirely different in style, music, and costume. Each of our pieces this evening will give you a different Perspective on its origin. Our first piece, Violin Concerto, was choreographed by one of our past dancers, Justin Koertgen. He created this for us as he was transitioning out of his dancing role in the company. I asked him to first try a classical piece because I believe that the classical technique is the base for almost all dance pieces and because this would give him a good foundation to build from. The second piece on the program is choreographed from a female perspective. Mariana Oliviera has created a brand-new piece for Dayton Ballet. Having a ballet created directly for a company gives it the flavor and style of our dancers. If the ballet is danced anywhere else, our ballet company will always be the reference they will have to match. The third ballet is also a work from a former company dancer.
