This evenings' performance presents two milestone works of classical ballet. Sinfonie in C combines the mastery of a young genius, sixteen year old Georges Bizet, and the mature confidence of Georges Balanchine who choreographed this ode to classical dance set to four movements.
The original title Le Palais de Cristal speaks more to the glamour, beaming joy and virtuosity of the piece whereas Sinfonie in C highlights the intellectual clarity and abstract nature of this dance feast while staying true to the language of the danse d’école. This Balanchine gem celebrated its Munich premiere in 1975 and has since involved many generations of dancers and audiences, making every performance shine in a fresh new light.
In the Night is paradigmatic of Jerome Robbin’s oeuvre, who in many ways could be seen as Balanchine’s opposite. Three pairs and four Nocturnes by Chopin - the ballet takes the audience on a journey, paints a vivid image of internal landscapes. Robbins visits the borders of classical dance with his choreography without overstepping them. He is as well-versed in the Broadway world and has an innate understanding of high art paired with impeccable taste - a combination of skills that he was able to combine in his words like no other choreographer of the 20th century.
Aszure Barton created her first work (Concert for Violin and Orchestra) for the Bavarian State Ballet in 2014, a work driven by musicality and the power of emotion that sets the Munich ensemble apart. For this upcoming premiere, Barton will create a piece for an all-male ensemble as a counterpoint to the female dominated Sinfonie in C set to an original score composed bythe Canadian composer, Curtis Macdonald. Barton belongs to a young generation of choreographers that dissolves boundaries between classic art and pure entertainment. She often works and experiments at avant-garde centers such as the Baryshnikov Arts Center while she has been commissioned by classical and modern ensembles around the globe such as The American Ballet Theatre or the Nederlands Dans Theater. Barton has also worked on Broadway, just like Jerome Robbins.
George Balanchine und Jerome Robbins in München
Eine Fotodokumentation
51 Jahre Aufführungsgeschichte der in der Bayerischen Metropole getanzten Werke von George Balanchine und Jerome Robbins entblättern sich in der angefügten Fotodokumentation. Siebzehn Ballette von George Balanchine und sechs von Jerome Robbins wurden im Lauf dieser Jahrzehnte in München getanzt.
Aus Anlass der jüngsten Premiere im Nationaltheater, die Balanchines Sinfonie in C und Robbins‘ In the Night präsentiert, haben wir in den Fotoarchiven des Balletts der Bayerischen Staatsoper und des daraus hervorgegangenen Bayerischen Staatsballetts gestöbert und Ihnen einen ausführlichen Rückblick zusammengestellt. Er wird dem regelmäßigen Münchner Ballettbesucher sicherlich viele Gesichter wieder vor die Seele rufen. Manche Namen werden felsenfest in Ihrem Gedächtnis eingebrannt sein; manche mögen durch die Jahrzehnte verblasst oder fast vergessen sein. Vielleicht erwachen sie durch die neuerliche Lektüre in der Erinnerung zu neuem Leben.
