Item Description
June 2, 2012 NYCB at Lincoln Center's David A. Koch Theatre
2pm - Program includes: George Balanchine's Symphony in C, Moves by Jerome Robbins, & George Balanchine's Jeu De CartesBizet composed his Symphony in C major when he was a 17-year-old pupil of Charles Gounod at the Paris Conservatory. The manuscript was lost for decades, and was published only after it was discovered in the Conservatory's library in 1933. Balanchine first learned of the long-vanished score from Stravinsky. He required only two weeks to choreograph it as Le Palais de Cristal for the Paris Opera Ballet, where he was serving as a guest ballet master. When he revived the work the following year for the first performance of New York City Ballet, he simplified the sets and costumes and changed the title. The ballet has four movements, each featuring a different ballerina, danseur, and corps de ballet. The entire cast of 48 dancers from all four movements gather for the rousing finale.On Jerome Robbins' Moves - Recognizing that "music guides the spectators' responses to the happenings on the stage," Mr. Robbins created a ballet without music because, he said, "I wanted the audience to concentrate on movement" and on "relationships between people -- man and woman, one and another, the individual and the group." (As quoted in Balanchine's Stories of the Great Ballets.)Peter MartinsIgor Stravinsky composed Jeu de Cartes (Card Game: A Ballet in Three Deals) for the first Stravinsky Festival mounted by George Balanchine at the Metropolitan Opera in 1937. In the original version dancers were costumed to represent the four suits in a deck of cards, and the joker was the central character.
