The National Ballet of Canada tours five cities in Western Canada At the centre of the ballet is the role of "a man for all seasons", a character the audience follows through the youthful promise of spring, the passion of summer, the mellow warmth of autumn, the chill of winter and ultimately to death. Principal Dancer REX HARRINGTON, who celebrates his 20th Anniversary with The National Ballet of Canada, will perform the central role in James Kudelka's The Four Seasons. Harrington created the role when the ballet premiered in 1997 and won a Gemini Award for his performance in the film version of the ballet in 2001. www.rbc.com /newsroom/20030903ballet2.html   (735 words)

French Ballet As it happens, I am 'stuck' here in Paris, where, at the Paris Opera Ballet alone, I have been able over the last two seasons to see ballets by Mats Ek, Pina Bausch, Roland Petit, Jiri Kylian, John Neumeier, Michel Fokine, Angelin Preljocaj, Marius Petipa, Balanchine, Nureyev, Jerome Robbins, and, yes, Maurice Bejart. And as if he hasn't suffered enough, immediately upon his return to Gotham he trudges out to BAM for a spectacle by the most well-known self-promoter in European ballet, Jean-Christophe Maillot, and, taking a page from George Bush, condemns the entire pantheon of French ballet based on three bad experiences. The New York Observer dance critic flies all the way to Paris only to see one ballet he knew he wasn't going to like (Maurice Bejart's "Le Presbytere") and another anyone who's seen a season at the Paris Opera Ballet could have told him would have disappointed (Patrice Bart's "Le Petite Danseuse de Degas"). www.danceinsider.com /f2003/f0605_1.html   (290 words)

A ballet master: Britain's loss was Australia's gain - www.smh.com.au One of the Australian Ballet's founding prima ballerinas, Marilyn Jones, said there were many happy times dancing with Powell in The Lady and the Fool, in which she was the lady, as well as in the earliest seasons of La Fille mal Gardee, when she was his "wayward" daughter. When the Australian Ballet's founding artistic director, Peggy (later Dame Peggy) van Praagh, invited Ray Powell, a former Royal Ballet dancer, to come from England to be ballet master of the new company, he came with the agreement that he would stay for six months to help establish the company. As ballet master, choreographer and performer, Powell was "the backbone of the company", said artistic director David McAllister. www.smh.com.au /articles/2003/10/27/1067233098885.html?from=storyrhs   (290 words)

criticaldance.com: interview with Joffrey Ballet's Mark Goldweber The model of the ballet master used to be that of a dictator. I like to know a ballet inside and out, so the time spent in doing this is often a challenge, as we frequently have several ballets being rehearsed at once and I'd prefer one thing at a time! As in music, ballets are stylistically different from each other. www.criticaldance.com /interviews/2002/mgoldweber020611.html   (1074 words)

the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago Ballet companies no longer tour so frequently and when they do, they don't come as often to San Francisco, as the Opera House is not available due to expanded opera and ballet seasons. The Joffrey Ballet of Chicago is important for trying to keep this legacy alive; it has done the same with the works of Frederick Ashton. While I applaud the Flint Center for bringing the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago, and with such a powerful program of "L'Apres-midi d'une Faune," "Le Sacre du Printemps," and Bronislava Nijinska's "Les Noces," I am disappointed that live music could not be arranged, especially given the historical importance of these ballets. www.danceinsider.com /f2003/f0624_2.html   (800 words)

Pravda.RU French Ballet Biarritz Comes to Yekaterinburg, Russia, in October The program includes only Russian ballet works, namely Le Spectre de la Rose, L'Apres-Midi D'un Faune, and Bolero that Sergei Dyagilev included in his Seasons. According to Thierry Malandain, the art director of the Biarritz, the Russian ballet shows staged by Segei Dyagilev, the greatest composers, artists and choreographers participating, were truly revolutionary and greatly affected the development of Western ballet culture. Two days ago, Yekaterinburg's Department of Culture received a confirmation that the French Biarritz ballet company would come touring to the Urals' centre on October 10 to perform there through October 12, 2002. english.pravda.ru /culture/2002/08/05/33853.html   (800 words)

Editor's Picks No more Nutcracker? The success of its Nutcracker had enabled Boston Ballet to program seasons that were the envy of every North American company outside New York; last year’s relative failure was a reminder that this is not the most solid foundation on which to build a ballet organization. Boston Ballet has the potential to join them, and in time the company will have to generate its own private support, but for the moment it needs public assistance. Boston Ballet achieved that distinction on the financial strength of its Nutcracker and the acumen of Bruce Marks, its managing and artistic director from 1985 through 1996. www.bostonphoenix.com /boston/events/columns/documents/03281512.asp   (2946 words)

Marina Semyonova, Bolshoi Ballet Semyonova's great contribution to the development of Russian classical ballet was in the scope and epic nature of her style in movement and the quiet grandeur and strength of the classical repertory. In 1930 she became one of the first Leningrad dancers to transfer successfully to Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre where she was to be the supreme classical dancer for the next 24 seasons. Of the current generation of Bolshoi dancers Nina Ananiashvili, Galina Stepanenko and Maria Alexandrova are among her present charges. www.for-ballet-lovers-only.com /Semy10.html   (567 words)

The Joffrey Ballet February 17, 2005 – To commemorate its 50th anniversary in 2006, the Chicago-based Joffrey Ballet will present a Golden Anniversary lineup spanning two seasons including a summer celebration in-between. Regarded as one of the world’s finest classical ballet companies, The Joffrey Ballet surely has come a long way from its humble beginnings in 1956, when an ambitious group of dancers led by Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino, its Founders and Artistic Directors, toured the country in a borrowed station wagon. The Joffrey Ballet’s 50th Anniversary celebration will be launched in the fall of 2005, with a program entitled A Midsummer Night’s Dreams, featuring Sir Frederick Ashton’s The Dream, Jiri Kylian’s Return to a Strange Land, and Arpino’s Celebration, which will serve as the piece d’occasion. www.joffrey.com /press_01.html   (567 words)

Ballets Russes Here's the list of the ballets danced by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in their seasons in Paris. The impact of Ballets Russes on the West stemmed from a number of causes. Serge Diaghilev (1872-1929) was an impresario, the manager of the Ballets Russes that created a sensation in Western Europe in the early years of the 20th century. www.cmi.univ-mrs.fr /~esouche/dance/dance1.html   (692 words)

Program Notes - Printer-Friendly In 1919 Diaghilev presented the two most famous of Massine’s early ballets, the two of which the dancer-choreographer would be proudest all his life: La Boutique fantasque, with a Rossini-Respighi score, followed three weeks later by The Three-Cornered Hat, to the superb music of Falla. This consists of most of the music of the ballet’s first two scenes, followed by the pas de deux for the boy and his bride. Now, for Pulcinella, Diaghilev decided to approach Stravinsky, who with The Firebird, Petrushka, and Le Sacre du printemps had been the musical sensation of his pre-war seasons in Paris. www.sfsymphony.org /templates/pgmNotePrint.asp?nodeid=3021   (4099 words)

Paris Opera Ballet: history. The Paris Opera also hosted some seasons of the Ballets Russes: in 1910, were danced there The Firebird and Giselle, in 1914 Fokine's La Légende de Joseph... It was a great loss for the Paris Opera Ballet, since Dauberval was one of the best choreographers of his time, and it was in Bordeaux that he created his best ballets, including La fille mal gardée in 1789. In 1820, the Opera was obliged to move once more: the Duke of Berry (the King's nephew) was killed just when he was going out of the theater after a performance, and the archbishop of Paris accepted to give him the "last sacrements" only if this place would not be a theater any longer. www.cmi.univ-mrs.fr /~esouche/dance/POBhis.html   (4099 words)

Australia Dancing - Borovansky Ballet (1939 - 1961) The Borovansky Ballet, also known at various times in its history as the Borovansky Australian Ballet Company, the Borovansky Ballet of 40 and the Borovansky Jubilee Ballet, provided Australians with their major source of ballet for over two decades. In the early years the company was led by Australian artists, including Laurel Martyn, Dorothy Stevenson and Edna Busse, along with overseas stars who had remained in Australia at the end of the Ballets Russes tours, such as Serge Bousloff and Tamara Tchinarova. The Borovansky Ballet was never, however, able to offer its dancers full year contracts and the company had many lay-off periods during its lifetime. www.australiadancing.org /subjects/15.html   (581 words)

Birmingham He is amusing, charming and innocent but I feel the whole ballet would be given a lift if he could bring a sharper touch to the character. The drama centres on the love affair between Edward and Gaveston, and it is certainly in the scenes between these two that the ballet has its best moments: but to me it seems as if Bintley, supposedly breaking new ground in the depiction of homosexual love, in fact backs off from any true confrontation. is BRB's first excursion into Tharp country - this was the company premiere - and on the whole it is more successful than either of the Royal Ballet's attempts has been. www.balletalert.com /reviews/r99/BRB.htm   (686 words)

Martyn Lovell's Ballet Activities The highlights of the ballet for me were the Christening scene, including the delightful parade of fairies (Rebecca Johnston was especially good here), and the Wedding, with both Stanton and Pantastico's excellent pas de deux and the witty performances of the other characters from fairy tales. When I describe the PNB to others, I always describe them doing a mix of modern and traditional ballet. Unfortunately, we discovered at the performance, that Julie Tobiason, my personal favourite PNB Principal, is retiring at the end of this season. www.seanet.com /~martynl/ballet.html   (686 words)
