Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, CA Dvořák's Cello Concerto with Gautier Capuçon |
|
 | ||
| Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, CA, San Francisco, CA 94102, United States Thursday 30-May-13 02:00pm Dvořák's Cello Concerto with Gautier Capuçon Music from three Eastern Europeans gives this program a delightfully colorful sound palette. Dvořák began his enticing concerto while living in New York, but upon returning to Europe, he learned that a woman he’d once loved had died. His youthful song to her permeates this work. Gramophone called Monsieur Capuçon’s recording of it “magical." Kodály’s Dances of Galánta is raucous yet vibrant, and Bartók’s ballet suite in one act features a huge orchestra playing music with dark and totally dramatic undertones. | ||

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Thursday 30-May-13 04:00pm Men don't fall in love with courtesans! That's the opinion of Alfredo's father after his son moves in with the mortally ill Violetta Valéry. In her love for Alfredo Violetta even agrees. She leaves him, dies poor, ill – still dreaming of the happiness of true love. One of Verdi's most beloved operas continues to hold the mirror up to society and its hypocritical morality. An exemplary production! See it!

| La Monnaie | De Munt: Grand Hall, Brussels, Muntplein-Place de la Monnaie, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Thursday 30-May-13 07:00pm The fatal temptation to seek the truth in love: men and women scorch their hearts and wings in trying to unlock the secret of emotions. How quickly perversity and cruelty oust desire and tenderness. Here Mozart enters into a dialogue with Marivaux and Sade. As in his previous operas, he succeeds in producing an incredible tension, a breathtakingly beautiful structuring of the text (his third collaboration with Da Ponte) and the music. Director Michael Haneke, one of the most incisive and insightful film-makers of our time, presents us with his vision of a work that is as spell-binding, serious, complex and at times light as it is formidably modern, where the experience of infidelity transforms the four characters by laying bare their frailty. For the Austrian director, this is his first time at La Monnaie, while Ludovic Morlot conducts his second opera of the season.Image credit: © Flore-Aël Surun / Tendance Floue Ludovic Morlot, Conductor Michael Haneke, Director Christoph Kanter, Set Designer Anett Fritsch, Soprano: Fiordiligi Andreas Wolf, Baritone: Guglielmo Juan Francisco Gatell, Tenor: Ferrando Kerstin Avemo, Soprano: Despina William Shimell, Baritone: Don Alfonso Orchestre Symphonique et Choeurs de la Monnaie | ||

| Sadler's Wells: Peacock Theatre, London, Portugal Street, Holborn, London WC2 2HT, United Kingdom Thursday 30-May-13 07:30pm ZooNation Dance Company — Some Like It Hip Hop ZooNation’s Some Like It Hip Hop has been a runaway success since it hit the Peacock Theatre in 2011, wowing audiences and prompting widespread critical praise with five-star reviews and standing ovations. After a second successful run and celebrating the company’s tenth anniversary at Sadler’s Wells last year, Some Like It Hip Hop returns to the Peacock Theatre to kick-start the summer. Fast becoming a modern classic, Some Like It Hip Hop unites truly sensational dancing and a typically clever and engrossing storyline with infectious “wit, heart and magnificent energy” (The Independent). With a nod to Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot and Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, it tells a comical tale of love, mistaken identity, cross-dressing and revolution, all played out in ZooNation’s trademark style of hip hop, comedy and physical theatre. Directed by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Kate Prince, Some Like It Hip Hop also features a ground-shaking original soundtrack, live singing and some of the UK’s top hip hop dance talent. | ||

Created in the 100th year since Stravinsky’s iconic Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring) was composed, iTMOi explores the human condition and the way in which Stravinsky transformed the classical music world by evoking emotions through pattern, rooted in the concept of a woman dancing herself to death.
Featuring an original score by Nitin Sawhney, Jocelyn Pook and Ben Frost, iTMOi is yet another extraordinary artistic collaboration from Khan and a talented artistic team including costume designer Kimie Nakano, dramaturge Ruth Little and an international cast of 12 dancers.Music by Sawhney, Nitin (b. 1964) / Pook, Jocelyn (b. 1960) / Frost, Ben (b. 1980) Choreography by Akram Khan | ||

|
 | ||
| Southbank Centre: Royal Festival Hall, London, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX, United Kingdom Thursday 30-May-13 07:30pm Salonen conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra London Tonight’s programme marks the centenary (29 May 1913) of one of the most famous premieres in musical history: Stravinsky’s primitivist ballet The Rite of Spring. Showered throughout by a torrential hail of farmyard noises from the gallery, the whole thing ended in uproar with the young conductor, Pierre Monteux, and his musicians fleeing for their lives. Puccini, who was in the Paris audience that night, described it as ‘the creation of a madman.’ Yet Stravinsky claimed that he was merely ‘the vessel through which the Rite passed.’ Opening the concert is Debussy’s no less groundbreaking Prelude à l'après-midi d'un faune. ‘From that moment,’ wrote Pierre Boulez, ‘music began to beat with a new pulse’. | ||

| Sage: Hall One, Gateshead, Gateshead, United Kingdom Thursday 30-May-13 07:30pm Danse Concertantes “I feel certain it shall please” wrote Mozart upon finishing his Paris symphony after a series of frustrating false-starts in France. The new symphony did just that, brimming with an effervescence, hope and freshness that tuned directly in to the city’s love for the bold and gregarious. Saint-Saëns, Stravinsky and Prokofiev all lived in Paris after Mozart, their music never losing that elegance, élan and energy which its citizens so adore. | ||

Opernhaus, Zürich Forsythe, Clug, Lightfoot /León |
Ballett Zürich |
 | ||
| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Thursday 30-May-13 07:30pm Forsythe, Clug, Lightfoot /León The second ballet evening of this season is characterised by a sense of inner drama. It combines two milestones of recent ballet history with a new creation, and offers the opportunity to witness the combination of three fascinating dance languages in one evening. The American William Forsythe has influenced and shaped ballet in the second half of the 20th century like no other choreographer. In his work, he explores and crosses the boundaries of dance as an art form, time and again. In New Sleep, created in 1987 for the San Francisco Ballet, three clown-like figures – accompanied by electronic music by Thom Willems – fall under the spell of a yardstick, a potted plant and a collection of bowling balls.
For the first time, Zurich Ballet will be working with the Romanian choreographer Edward Clug, who rose to international fame primarily thanks to his ballet Radio and Juliet, a modern interpretation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet set to the music of the rock band Radiohead. Clug’s pieces, which enchant audiences with their often absurd tempi and their wealth of choreographic detail, have been performed in Lisbon, Zagreb, Essen and at the Stuttgart Ballet, among other locations.
Having thrilled audiences in Zurich in 2004 with their furiously witty choreography, Skew Whiff, choreographers Lightfoot/León now present their ballet Sleight of Hand. The Englishman Paul Lightfoot and the Spanish woman Sol León met in 1987 in the ensemble of the Nederlands Dans Theaters (NDT) and are among the internationally most sought-after choreographers. They have succeeded Hans van Manen and Jiří Kylián as representatives of modern dance in the Netherlands. Paul Lightfoot took over the directorship of the NDT in the 2011/12 season. In the mysterious darkness of Sleight of Hand an encrypted fantasy unfurls; its dance and theatrical roots lie in the story of a family fraught with conflict. The title, Sleight of Hand, is a reference to the art of card-playing. | ||

| Regent Hall, London, 275 Oxford Street, London W1C 2DJ, United Kingdom Friday 31-May-13 01:00pm Lunchtime Jazz The Royal Academy of Music presents a lunchtime concert of jazz. Sam Rapley is a up and coming young tenor player currently based in London, studying at the Royal Academy of Music with Stan Sulzmann. Originally a classical clarinettist, Rapley switched to jazz saxophone in his mid teens. Since then he has played with the likes of Dave Douglas, Iain Ballamy, James Taylor Quartet, Mike Walker, and has supported John Taylor Trio with his own band."
Sam says - the trio is a new project which is co-led by Alex Munk (guitar), Matt Robinson (piano) and myself (saxophone). We all studied together at the Royal Academy of Music and wanted to form a group more akin to a chamber ensemble rather than the traditional jazz small group setting. The reason for this was to open up new musical possibilities in the way that we write for the group and also to allow us to play in some different venues, such as this, which make us play very differently to how we would if we were playing in a jazz club.Price type: Free | ||
