| The New York City Ballet, with its collection of extraordinary dancers and its unique repertoire, is one of the most prestigious dance companies in the world. This exceptional production, performed in Paris after eight years of absence, revolves around three great French composers who inspired NYCB founder George BaIanchine: Charles Gounod, Maurice RaveI and Georges Bizet. The four ballets performed, choreographed from 1925 to 1980, perfectIy encapsulate Balanchines genius and his very own neo-cIassical styIe. They also provide a particular insight on the bonds that tied BaIanchine to France. What is known today as WaIpurgisnacht BaIlet was a baIIet choreographed for the opera Faust (Charles Gounod) at the Paris Opera in 1975. lt premiered as an independant piece in New York in 1980. Sonatine, set to a music by Maurice Ravel, was created by two New York City Ballet French principals, the recentIy departed VioIette Verdy and Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux. La Valse was originally composed by RaveI for the BaIIets Russes and Serge DiaghiIev, then exiled in France, shortIy before BaIanchine entered the company. Symphony in C (Georges Bizet), better known as Le PaIais de CristaI, premiered at the Paris Opera. A spectacular tribute to Balanchine, beautifully served by the breath-taking technique of these American dancers, who rank today among the best in the world! |
