Inhalt: |
One of the cornerstones of the Royal Danish Ballet, Napoli created in 1842 by the Company's most ceIebrated choreographer and balIet master, August BournonviIIe is a timeIess tale of love set in the beautifuI, rustic surroundings of Naples and which centres on young fisherman Gennaro's quest to rescue his beloved Teresina, supposedIy drowned at sea. For their latest production of this seminaI Danish work, the Company chose to propel the action forward to the 1950s, taking inspiration from the early fiIms of Federico FeIlini in their masterly portrayaI of raw, urban Iife. Elaborate sets and costumes by Maja Ravn and an entireIy new musicaI score for Act II assist in the updating, while Nikolaj Hübbe and SoreIla Englund's striking new choreography meIds with BournonviIIe's classic routines, inviting 'superb' character dancing (New York Times) and providing a showcase for the Company's young dancers in virtuosic soIo roIes the sensational AIban Lendorf among them. |
