ENGLISH NATIONAL BALLET
EXCLUSIVE AUSTRALIAN SEASON
PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE
ON THE CONCOURSE, CHATSWOOD
14 SHOWS ONLY
8 - 17 JUNE 2012

The world-renowned ENGLISH NATIONAL BALLET will tour to Australia for an exclusive season in Sydney at The Concourse, Chatswood, from Friday 8 June to Sunday 17 June, 2012.

This highly respected European company will bring its top soloists and principal artists, presenting a programme ideally suited to young and old in the intimate 500 seat theatre at The Concourse.

The programme, accompanied by a live orchestra, will open with George Balanchine’s heartstoppingly beautiful Apollo and close with Serge Lifar’s spectacular bravura piece, Suite en blanc. These two great classics will frame a selection of favourite pas de deux, Manon, Don Quixote, Black Swan & Trois Gnossiennes, featuring the company’s stars.

REPERTOIRE

SUITE EN BLANC - Suite en blanc was described by its choreographer, Serge Lifar, as “a real parade of stars”. A plotless display of classical technique, with strict emphasis on the perfection of line, the ballet was created in 1943 to showcase the virtuosity and elegance of the Paris Opera Ballet. With its white costumes against an inky black setting, the ballet remains a stunning showcase of dance, as glittering and exhilarating as its fi­rst performance nearly seven decades ago.

Suite en blanc - “most supremely elegant of crowd-pleasers” The Guardian, Judith Mackrell

CELEBRATIONS – a selection of favourite classical pas de deux, including: Kenneth McMillan’s sensual pas de deux from the bedroom scene of his superb Manon; the spectacular showpiece from the traditional Swan Lake Act III, known as the Black Swan pas de deux; the bravura Petipa grand pas de deux from Don Quixote; and, set to an Erik Satie solo piano piece, contemporary choreographer Hans Van Manen’s Trois Gnossiennes, requiring great finesse and control, and a superb classical technique.

APOLLO - A ballet by George Balanchine, himself a dancer with The Ballets Russes, became a neo-classical masterpiece which marked the young Balanchine’s first collaboration with Stravinsky. Its innovative and ambitious choreography pushes the boundaries of the traditional classical technique.
The story is of Apollo, the god of music visited by three muses; Terpsichore, muse of dance and song; Polyhymnia, muse of mime; and Calliope, the muse of poetry. This is a ballet that shows stunning footwork, clean lines and beautiful tableaux. Pure and simple elegance combined with a refined instrumental force.
