Download or read book Swan Lake written by Bill Cooper and published by Oberon Books. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully produced new Royal Ballet branded book with photographs by Bill Cooper is a collection of exclusive photographs which shines the spotlight on Swan Lake. These exquisite photos feature some of the finest dancers on stage today and give an exclusive insight into the Royal Ballet's work. Swan Lake was Tchaikovsky's first score for the ballet. Given its status today as arguably the best-loved and most admired of all classical ballets, it is perhaps surprising that at its premiere in 1877 Swan Lake was poorly received. It is thanks to the 1895 production by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov that Swan Lake has become part of not only ballet consciousness but also wider popular culture. That success is secured not only by the sublime, symphonic sweep of Tchaikovsky's score but also by the striking choreographic contrasts between Petipa's royal palace scenes and the lyric lakeside scenes created by Ivanov. Swan Lake has had a special role in the repertory of The Royal Ballet since 1934. Since then there has been a succession of productions, the most recent of which was overseen by Anthony Dowell. The 2019 Season sees a new production with additional choreography by ROH Artist-in-Residence Liam Scarlett. Scarlett, while remaining faithful to the Petipa-Ivanov text, will bring fresh eyes to the staging of this classic ballet, in collaboration with his long-term designer John Macfarlane.

Book excerpt: A photographic portrait of an entire ballet season "An amazing book. Temin is a crackerjack journalist, and this book touches on every hot-button issue that is relevant to ballet companies today."--Mindy Aloff "Temin and Gilbert have given us a long-overdue libretto for a ballet about a ballet company. Players on both sides of the proscenium will find Behind the Scenes at Boston Ballet a real page-turner!"--Toba Singer, author of First Position For centuries, ballet companies have been transporting audiences beyond their workaday worlds, one performance at a time. A layperson who sees a ballerina perform in SwanLake may be thrilled or impressed--may imagine the hours of rehearsal that lie behind each performance or understand something about the demands made on a dancer--but many who appreciate ballet remain unacquainted with all the steps, parts, people, and money that must come together for a world-class company to complete a season of performances. Beyond the flash of lights onstage is a world of physical trainers and fundraisers, artistic directors and executive boards, all laboring to ensure that the show goes on. In this unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the life of a company, former Boston Globe dance critic Christine Temin and photographer Wally Gilbert present a compelling portrait of the Boston Ballet. Their evocative prose and penetrating photography turn the spotlight on all the elements--from toe shoes and costumes to rehearsals and revenue--that come together (or fall apart) in a season. Boston Ballet, in turn, makes a perfect study: After a rash of mysterious firings and defections in the early 2000s, the company seems to have moved past the controversy with a new artistic director and a new schedule of international performances. Its story highlights the tremendous amount of work and energy that goes in before the curtain can ever go up.

Download or read book Days With Ulanova written by Albert E. Kahn and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-02 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the great world of dance, Galina Ulanova is considered by many to be as great, if not greater, than Pavlova. Onstage, the miracle of her performances has enraptured vast audiences. But offstage, to the millions of her devotees, she remains an enigma. This exceptional biography—one of a kind—explores the world of Ulanova, and offers a unique look at the woman behind the legend. As a result of his friendship with Ulanova, writer-photographer Albert E. Kahn had the singular opportunity to study Ulanova as dancer, teacher, performer, warm friend, and a shy, modest woman seeking solitude among her beloved birch groves in the Russian countryside. Kahn has captured it all in words and pictures—from the magnificent performances to the intimate glimpses of her day-to-day life. “Days with Ulanova is the most exciting ballet book I have ever seen.”—Anatole Chujoy, Editor of The Dance Encyclopedia “All lovers of the dance, as well as libraries, museums and schools, will welcome this treasure of a book.”—Arthur Todd, New York Times “Mr. Kahn’s work is without precedent in the theatre world. His photographs of Ulanova are undoubtedly the finest imaginary job of visual commentary on any dancer.”—Genevieve Oswald, Curator Dance Collection, Library & Museum of Performing Arts, Lincoln Center “The particular treasure of her life has been lovingly and sensitively apprehended. Mr. Kahn has made us all a wonderfully valuable gift.”—Dance Magazine “This book must rank among the half-dozen most beautiful books on ballet ever published...a monument and a memorial.”—P. W. Manchester, Dance News
