Bartared Bride
- Bedrich Smetana |
|
Bedrich Smetana decided to compose
his second opera in a lighter vein than the theme he chose for
his first one "The Brandenburgers in Bohemia". One hundred and
thirty years ago he composed the two-act version about the
faithful love between Maoenka and Jenk, which also included
spoken dialogues. In the course of another four years the
Bartered Bride gained its definitive form in three acts, a work
which fills opera houses again and again; it impresses, amuses,
and enchants not only the justly proud Czech patrons, but has
also managed to overcome language barriers and irresistibly also
attracts discriminating foreign audiences. |

Rusalka
- Antonin Dvorak |
|
A lyrical fairy tale to a libretto
by Jaroslav Kvapil, full of poetry and drama, narrates the story
of the ill-fated water nymph, who falls in love with a prince
and out of love for him longs to be a human. She suffers the
pain of being a mute and the threat of damnation, and when her
lover abandons her, she refuses redemption at the expense of his
blood. The story tends more toward the symbolic than toward a
fairy tale, but the setting in the countryside peopled with
nymphs, a wafer gnome and a witch, combined with Dvork's music,
creates a magic impression.

Jenufa
- Leos Janacek |
|
Jenufa represents the climax of
Janeeks original thinking in music and music technique and is
closely linked with hic character and life. It composed for the
drama written by Gabriela Preissov, the essence of which is
profound human understanding of the destiny of man, his
conflicts and moulding by his environment and society. The deep
lyrism of Jenufa contrasts with Kostelniekas harshness, who -
afraid of scorn - commits murder. Janeeks score captures all
moments of the drama as far as the deep emotional stresses of
men who after cruel trials find a new sense of life. |

Swan Lake
- Pyotr Ilyic Tchaikovski |
|
The Swan Lake belongs to the most
popular and renowned titles of the classical ballet. We can find
it on repertoire of any world scene. The story of the princess
odetta whos been enchanted into a swan, has earned its eternity
thanks to the beautiful music by the ingenious composer P. I.
Tchaikovsky. |

Americana |
After the success of the
performance of Americana, the National Theatre ballet ensemble
returns to the creation of overseas choreographers of the
twentieth century. The domestic viewer will again have the
opportunity to become familiarised with the artistic handiwork
of the foremost personalities of American dance art, in whose
works ballet expanded its language with modern means of
expression and jazz elements. Balachines choreography of Who
cares? represents a fresh ballet variation to the rhythm of the
jazz music of George Gershwin, Tarantella to the music of L. M.
Gottschalk is in turn inspired by an Italian temperament. From
the workshop of Glen Tetley the work Sphinx was chosen a ballet
drama of love and death according to Jean Cocteau. In the
concluding River, under the choreography of Alvin Ailey, a
fantastical river of movement is danced out to the music of Duke
Ellington.
