| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Thursday 26-Dec-13 03:00pm The Nutcracker - Family Performance The Nutcracker [Neumeier] Music by Tchaikovsky, Pyotr Ilyich (1840-1893) Choreography by John Neumeier Is The Nutcracker merely a Christmas tale? No, not necessarily - A winter tale, perhaps. Most of all, the nutcracker is a birthday present for Marie! John Neumeier chooses to tell the poetic fairy tale "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" by E.T.A. Hoffmann in a different way. "A new classic was born", said Dorion Weickmann, "an everlasting staple of ballet repertory full of insights on human relationships that were, and are still, highly relevant in society." Neumeier said in 1975, only four years after giving this all-time favorite family classic a fresh face. The American choreographer, then and now artistic director of the Hamburg Ballet, reduced the old-fashioned tale to its essential message: Marie is growing up - with all the emotions, conflicts and feelings that this laborious process entails. With innate drama, baroque elegance and clever humor, Neumeier created a tableau that is far from Hoffmann’s original tale. His Nutcracker boldly comments on the state of our society, it is a family portrait and a story of the rite of passage. Moreover, it’s a deep bow of respect to the high art of classical ballet. None other than Petipa himself whisks away Marie to the foreign (dream-) world of the theater. There, she encounters and surrenders to the charm of famous ballets characters – but rest assured: the audience is right with her on that. Tickets €7 - 70. Written orders will be processed beginning 26. September 2013. Playing time: 2 hours 35 minutes (1 intermission).
This performance offers discounts for families and an Introductory event for Children at 2.15pm. | ||

Staatsoper at Schiller Theater, Berlin Onegin - John Cranko |
Staatsballett Berlin |
 | ||
| Staatsoper at Schiller Theater, Berlin, Bismarckstraße 110, 10625 Berlin, Germany Saturday 4-Jan-14 07:30pm Onegin - John Cranko ONEGIN is an emotionally charged tale of love and rejection. The young and provincial Tatiana is captivated by the sophisticated, brooding stranger Onegin. She writes him a letter confessing her love, but Onegin rejects her and to prove his indifference, flirts with her sister Olga. Lensky, Olga’s fiancé and Onegin’s best friend is offended by this so that he challenges Onegin to a duel, where Onegin kills him. Several years later Onegin and Tatiana meet again...
The famous choreographer John Cranko created this touching ballet, in which several steamy virtuoso duets show the emotional development of the protagonists. Pushkin’s verse novel, used by Tchaikovsky for his opera EUGENE ONEGIN in 1879, is also the source for John Cranko’s ballet, although not a single note of the dance score is taken from the opera, but from other Tchaikovsky musical scores.

Staatsoper at Schiller Theater, Berlin Onegin - John Cranko |
Staatsballett Berlin |
| ||
| Staatsoper at Schiller Theater, Berlin, Bismarckstraße 110, 10625 Berlin, Germany Friday 25-Apr-14 07:30pm Onegin - John Cranko ONEGIN is an emotionally charged tale of love and rejection. The young and provincial Tatiana is captivated by the sophisticated, brooding stranger Onegin. She writes him a letter confessing her love, but Onegin rejects her and to prove his indifference, flirts with her sister Olga. Lensky, Olga’s fiancé and Onegin’s best friend is offended by this so that he challenges Onegin to a duel, where Onegin kills him. Several years later Onegin and Tatiana meet again...
The famous choreographer John Cranko created this touching ballet, in which several steamy virtuoso duets show the emotional development of the protagonists. Pushkin’s verse novel, used by Tchaikovsky for his opera EUGENE ONEGIN in 1879, is also the source for John Cranko’s ballet, although not a single note of the dance score is taken from the opera, but from other Tchaikovsky musical scores.

Staatsoper at Schiller Theater, Berlin Tchaikovsky - Boris Eifman |
Staatsballett Berlin |
 | ||
| Staatsoper at Schiller Theater, Berlin, Bismarckstraße 110, 10625 Berlin, Germany Saturday 14-Jun-14 07:30pm Tchaikovsky - Boris Eifman Boris Eifman is considered one of the most high profile and interesting contemporary Russian choreographers. He is famous for his biographical and lengthy narrative ballets, which he usually presents with his own company, the Eifman Ballet St. Petersburg, on extended guest performance trips. He has long since taken the American theatre public by storm, and Boris Eifman rarely lets one of his choreographies out of his grasp. His ballets are distinguished by their psychological persona studies, which are embedded in dramatic and emotionally charged scenes. In „Tschaikowsky“, the multi-faceted personality of the great composer provides the focus. Peter I. Tchaikovsky decided to give up his secure, bourgeois position in order to dedicate himself entirely to the creation of the music by which he was so passionately driven. However, a feeling of deeply felt internal unrest and homelessness haunted him for the rest of his life. His emotional strife finds expression in his compositions; reason enough for Boris Eifman to trace the emotional world of the great Russian composer in choreography. Boris Eifman is dedicated to a passionate „ballet theatre“, in which the dramatic will to expression forms the basis for the dancing. Eifman thereby remains committed to classical dance, but with his choreographies he pursues the goal of „not only presenting people with a feast for the eyes, but much more than this, addressing their impressions and feelings in order to initiate a shared and living ritual.“ Image credit: Staatsballett Berlin | ||
