So Beautiful Is Ballet.
Magnificent Collection of Ballet That Goes Deeply into Your Heart
With the forthcoming production, "Mixed Program",
the New National Theatre, Tokyo (NNTT) will present a wide variety of ballet
that surely appeals to the audience. Those prominent choreographers' masterpieces
have been handed from the 20th century down to the present day, and will
certainly be handed to the future.
NNTT has taken up works by Michel M. Fokine, considered to be the father
of modern ballet; George Balanchine, who created a new form called"abstract
ballet"; and Antony Tudor, who explored new psychological avenues in
dance, thus establishing a new genre of"psychological ballet."
Newly added to the NNTT's repertoire in the forthcoming program are a work
by Rudi van Dantzig, who served as artistic director of the Dutch National
Ballet for a long time and is reputed for probing psychological and delicate
approach, and that by Nacho Duato, a Spanish choreographer who attracts
the world' attention as today's lion of contemporary ballet.
Based on the theme"a play with death, which is frequently glimpsed
through one's life ", this 1971 premiered Four Last Songs choreographed
by Rudi van Dantzig depicts "a message dedicated to one's life and
death". This ballet, which was inspired by Richard Strauss's songs
composed in his last days, is filled with eternal tenderness in humanity.
In Duende, with Debussy's profound music, Duato thoroughly expresses
duende's magical powers, - a spirit believed to live quietly in the darkness
in his home country. Premiered in 1991, this work gives the viewers a sensation
in their soul to be uplifted, - the sensation likened to that of flamenco.
In addition, the Mixed Program includes Symphony in C, the
second of Balanchine's work in the NNTT's repertoire. All of these five
works featured in the program are magnificent productions choreographed
to elegant and magnificent Romantic and Impressionist music. Both Program
A and B offer a combination of captivating ballet works. With the New National
Theatre Ballet, Tokyo, the NNTT wishes that this whole program would bring
you all the sense and time of relaxation. |
