SWAN LAKE Original version Choreography: Marius Petipa – Lev Ivanov Music: Piotr I. Tchaikovsky Act I (The Garden of Prince Sigfried´s Castle) After a glittering musical introduction, the first scene is set in a splendid park, with a fairy-tale castle in the background. Prince Siegfried and his friends are drinking, and peasants enter to congratulate him; meanwhile, his friends dance for the young Prince's entertainment. A messanger presages the arrival of the young Prince's Mother. She follows to pronounce that her son should now marry, choosing a bride from the young women to be presented to him at a ball the following evening. She leaves and the rustic dancing resumes until darkness suddenly falls and a flock of swans appear. The court jester has an idea of shooting one of the noble birds and, armed with a crossbow, sets off with his friends and heads to where the swans are heading. Act II (The lake Shore) By the banks of a lake by moonlight, a flight of swans glide past, led by their own Queen. The Prince's friends are eager for the chase, but he begs them to leave him, and whilst he is alone the Swan Queen comes to him in the human form of Odette and tells her story. She is under the spell of an evil magician, Von Rothbart, and reveals that by day she and her friends are turned into swans. That subjection will only end when she marries; until then she has only her crown to protect her. The whole swan group arrives and they reproach the Prince for attempting to deprive them of their beloved leader. Odette intercedes and the Prince discards his crossbow. He and Odette dance, professing their love. The entire flock joins in; and the act ends as an owl (the wicked Van Rothbart) flaps heavily above. Act III It is the following evening and in a luxurious hall in the Prince's castle preparations are underway for the feast. The court jester orders the servants around; guests start to materialise; and finally, the Princess-Mother and her entourage. A sequence of turns commences until the Princess asks her son which of the women he favours. 'None', he replies to her annoyance. At a sudden fanfare Baron Rothbart enters with his daughter Odile, whose resemblance to Odette strikes the Prince. Odile herself dances enticingly, followed by an elaborate sequence of national dances by the company. The Princess-Mother is pleased to see that Odile has caught her son's favour. The young couple themselves conjoin together and the Princess-Mother and Rothbart advance to centre-stage to announce a betrothal. With that, the scene ominously darkens, an agitated version of the principal swan theme is heard; a window flies open noisily and through it can be seen a white swan replete with crown. Horrified, the Prince pushes Odile away and rushes out amid general confusion. Act IV The girls, including Odette, gather around the lake. Odette is heartbroken. Prince Siegfried finds them consoling each other. He explains to Odette the trickery of Von Rothbart and she grants him her forgiveness. It isn’t long before Von Rothbart appears and tells the prince that he must honour his word and marry his daughter or both he and Odette will die. Prince Siegfried refuses. A fight follows, Von Rothbart’s evil spell is broken by the power of Odette and Siegfried’s love for each other and the swans, are r eleased from their enslavement. Friday, 22nd April at 8 P.M SLEEPING BEAUTY (SUITE) Original version Choreography: Marius Petipa – Lev Ivanov Music: Piotr I. Tchaikovsky Sleeping Beauty is one of the great ballet scores (along with Swan Lake and Nutcracker) composed by Tchaikovsky. Dating from 1890 and as such comes from to a late Romanticism. Perrault's story is based on inspired and luminous music , choreographed by Marius Petipa, who created an unsurpassed model and a masterpiece of classical ballet, marking the key scenes, offering a true academic exhibition in the final divertissement. SYNOPSIS I Act King Florestan declares a christening ceremony to be held in honor of the birth of his daughter, Princess Aurora. An entourage of six fairies are invited to the Christening to be godmothers to the child. As the fairies are happily granting gifts of honesty, grace, prosperity, song and generosity, they are suddenly interrupted by the arrival of the wicked fairy Carabosse, who is furious at the King's failure to invite her to the ceremony. The King and Queen begin to remonstrate. With spite and rage, Carabosse declares her curse on Princess Aurora: she will prick her finger on her sixteenth birthday and die. But all is not lost: the Lilac Fairy, fortunately, has not yet granted her gift to the Princess. She acknowledges that Carabosse's power is immense and she cannot completely reverse the curse. However, she declares, though the Princess shall indeed prick her finger, she will not die, but instead sleep for 100 years until she is awakened by the kiss of a prince. Carabosse departs, and the curtain falls as the good fairies surround the cradle. II Act It is Princess Aurora's sixteenth birthday. Celebrations are already underway: the atmosphere is festive. Aurora receives her four royal suitors and their gifts of exquisite roses. Soon after, Aurora is presented with a spindle as a gift from a disguised Carabosse— an object which she has never before seen. Carelessly, she dances with it despite her mother and father's warnings before accidentally pricking herself. She faints. To the horror of all, Carabosse immediately reveals her true wicked self triumphantly. At that very moment, the Lilac Fairy appears as she had promised. She reminds the remaining guests and the King and Queen of her gift—Aurora will not die, but merely sleep. She then casts a spell of slumber upon the entire kingdom so that they will only awake when Aurora does. III Act One hundred years later, the prince Désiré, is at a hunting party with his companions. Désiré sees the Lilac Fairy who presents him with a vision of Aurora and he is entranced by her beauty. The Prince pleads with the Lilac Fairy to bring him to see Princess Aurora, to which the latter consents. IV Act The Prince discovers the castle, which is now overgrown in thick vines. His first act is to defeat Carabosse. Once past her and inside the castle, the Prince finds Aurora and awakens her with a kiss. The entire kingdom awakes with her. The Prince then declares his love for Aurora and proposes to her. The King and the Queen are happy to give their blessings. V Act Preparations for the wedding are made. On the day of the festivities, different fairies are invited. These are the fairies to bless the marriage. Also many fairytale characters come to the wedding, such as Puss in Boots and The White Cat are also among the guests. A golden chain of dances is held: Puss in Boots and the White Cat,the Bluebird and Princess Florine, Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf Cinderella and Prince. The Prince and the Princess are wed, and the Lilac Fairy blesses their marriage. The ballet ends with all the characters making a final bow.
