Bruce Wall Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) The delightful (but small) Jermyn Street Theatre in London has now announced that it will stay closed until 2021. (This with having received one of those cherished Emergency Covid Grants that so many similar sized institutions failed to win.) .... I put this here because I thought a comment by the Jermyn Street AD Tom Littler in The Stage (but three sentences from that same to keep in line with BcoF guidelines) made it apt - and certainly put things in a clear British perspective ... Artistic director Tom Littler said: "Even if we are allowed to reopen, British theatres cannot break even with social distancing – we rely on full houses. "Theatres in Europe are already reopening – because, for example, there’s more state funding for theatre in Berlin than in the whole of England, so they can run with socially distanced audiences." He added: "Theatres have asked government for a rescue package – a mix of loans, insurance, tax breaks, the extension of the job retention ’furlough’ scheme, and an investment. The money we need is far less than the bailout of the big three airlines."Week after week has gone by. Government silence has been deafening." Our friends in Germany are most fortunate. Very lucky indeed! Edited June 25, 2020 by Bruce Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Christiana Stefanou has been appointed Director of the Ballet Academy at Vienna, starting in August 2020. After a huge scandal about children being mentally abused, discriminated and neglected, a special commission and a group of experts developed a new concept for the Ballet Academy of the Vienna State Opera. The key points are child-friendly pedagogy and an appreciative corporate culture, physical and mental health, a revision of the curriculum and the new goal to become an internationally recognized and world-leading dance academy in the next five years. The Austrian state will make investments of € 882,000 for infrastructure and € 862,000 for additional educational, medical and therapeutic staff. Christiana Stefanou studied ballet at Munich and in later years dance pedagogy at Plovdiv, Bulgaria. She was a dancer with Bavarian State Ballet and worked as a ballet master and teacher afterwards. She was Ballet Director at the Greek National Opera and a teacher at the State Ballet Academy in Athens and the School of Performing Arts in Greece. She worked as a guest ballet master and dance teacher with the most important companies in the world: Dutch National Ballet, Royal Swedish Ballet, Ballett am Rhein, Boston Ballet, English National Ballet, Bavarian State Ballet, National Ballet Romania, Czech National Ballet, Balleto de l'Opera di Roma, Ballett Theater Basel, at the University of Music and Theater in Munich and at the San Francisco Bay Point Ballet School. She has also rehearsed the classics at many ballet academies. She is currently working on her master's thesis „Dance Pedagogy and Ballet Direction“ at the University of Plovdiv.

Angela Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 On 3 July 2020, the Staatsballett Berlin will stream a digital gala, giving its audience a taste of the upcoming programme in August and September 2020. While the Berlin stages are still closed, the Staatsballett Berlin will present a digital gala programme starting on 3 July 2020. Aurora Dickie, Iana Salenko and Polina Semionova, as well as Dinu Tamazlacaru, Daniil Simkin and Marian Walter will give a taste of the programme in August and September 2020. They'll be accompanied in parts by Donald Runnicles, General Music Director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, and Alina Pronina on piano and Elisabeth Heise-Glass on violin. In addition to solos and pas de deux from the repertoire works SWAN LAKE and JEWELS, choreographies by Mauro Bigonzetti and Mauro de Candia will be performed, some of which will be part of the gala programmes FROM BERLIN WITH LOVE I+II at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in August and September 2020. As a taste of the Staatsballett's first new production, LAB_WORKS COVID_19 with choreographies by dancers of the company, Ross Martinson showcases one of his choreographies and Ksenia Ovsyanick and Johnny McMillan present an improvised work. The footage shot at the Deutsche Oper Berlin shows a change of perspective: behind the dancers on stage, the empty auditorium becomes an impressive backdrop, not only accentuating the beauty of the choreography but also the painful absence of the audience. FROM BERLIN WITH LOVE will be available on 3 July 2020, 7pm CET via the company's Youtube channel under www.youtube.com/staatsballettbln. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Stuttgart Ballet has published the first half of next season: https://www.stuttgarter-ballett.de/ They offer mixed bills of solos and socially distanced creations until November, when they hope they will be allowed to touch again.

Angela Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 I watched real ballet on a real stage today, and I never saw such happy, blissful dancers taking a bow after each of the six pieces. In front of 240 people, Stuttgart Ballet presented a mixed bill at the Opera House, with three new pieces by members of the company, where the dancers stayed three meters from each other, but with live music in the pit or from behind the stage. They also danced Fokine's Dying Swan and Hans van Manen's Solo, which keeps three very fast male dancers at an appropriate distance. Ballet director Tamas Detrich managed to get almost everyone of his company in one of the two casts, the programm will be repeated two times on Sunday and hopefully in October. It ended with Maurice Béjart's Bolero with only eight dancers instead of the 30+ they normally have around the red table. Friedemann Vogel was incredible and made me believe by the sheer power of his will that some day everything might be back to normal. At least for tonight. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angela Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Hamburg Ballet announced an updated version of next season, as most German theatres only until December 2020. You can download the German booklet here. Neumeier choreographed a new piece "Ghost Light" for all of his dancers, according to the guidelines of social distancing. It premieres on 6. September and will also go on tour to Baden-Baden in October. From October on they will show Neumeier's "Death in Venice" and his "St. Matthew's Passion". Hamburg State Opera may allow around 500 visitors instead of the 1600 that normally fit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionaM Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Alina Cojocaru is awarded ‘Dancer of The Year‘ by Germany’s Tanz Magazine, for her work with Hamburg Ballett. https://www.der-theaterverlag.de/tanz/aktuelles-heft/artikel/taenzerin-des-jahres-alina-cojocaru-1/ John Neumeier has written some wonderful words about her, but I cannot access the full piece without a subscription. Here is what I cou”d access (translation by Google😞 DANCER OF THE YEAR Alina Cojocaru John Neumeier, ballet director and chief choreographer in Hamburg since 1973, writes his very personal declaration of love to our dancer of the year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's been almost 20 years since Alina Cojocaru not only danced the pas de deux from “Flower Festival in Genzano”, but also the second act from “Giselle” with Ethan Stiefel at the “Nijinsky-Gala 2001” in Hamburg. Although I had previously experienced Alina as a fascinating dancer in London, this gala performance in Hamburg was a revelation for me. Her interpretation of Giselle was well known. But because of the honest and humane dimension she gave the character, it was as if she had not just interpreted the role, but invented it that evening. It was stylistically correct, but completely new to me - very modern! On the way to the gala celebration, I met this extremely fragile woman at the entrance to the opera house. Alina didn't want to come with me. She sat alone, quiet, waiting, as it were, and seemed almost disturbed in her shyness, so completely different from the rehearsal situation. After the rehearsals and the gala performance, I was happy to have this moment alone with this strange dancer who impressed me so much. She hardly spoke herself. I tried to explain to her how impressed I was with her performance. Because I saw more than just "Giselle". I saw the potential ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angela Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Bavarian State Ballet announced the first performances back after the summer. The company starts on 9. September with Swan Lake: With the consent of Ray Barra, whose version they dance, balletmaster Thomas Mayr has adapted the choreography in a one-act version with a reduced number of dancers and social distancing in the corps de ballet scenes. They promise a "slight shortening" and say that the spirit of Barra's version will be kept alive. Cast: Prisca Zeisel and Laurretta Summerscales as Odette/Odile, Jinhao Zhang and Emilio Pavan as Siegfried, Matteo Dilaghi as Rotbart. On 19. September, Giselle will follow – 30 years ago, this classic was the first work of the newly founded Bavarian State Ballet under Konstanze Vernon. This season should have been their anniversary season, but the galas and dance nights have been postponed to 2021. Cast: Laurretta Summerscales, Ksenia Ryzhkova, Madison Young as Giselle 200 visitors will be allowed in the National Theatre at Munich (normal capacity: 2100 seats).

Angela Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Berlin State Ballet announces "LAB_WORKS COVID_19: Choreographies from isolation" - 8 world premieres by dancers of the company Berlin, August 25, 2020 --- During the lockdown, dancers of the Staatsballett Berlin created choreographies that premiere on 03, 04 and 05 September 2020 at the Komische Oper Berlin. The Staatsballett Berlin's first new stage production after the lockdown was created by choreographers from the ensemble: Alexander Abdukarimov, Arshak Ghalumyan, Andreas Heise (for Yolanda Correa), Vivian Koohnavard, Olaf Kollmannsperger, Ross Martinson, Johnny McMillan, Dana Pajarillaga and Tara Samaya developed choreographies for themselves and/or dancers sharing the same household during the quarantine with regulations suggested by the Robert-Koch-Institut not only applying in the auditorium but on stage as well. All eight premieres range from solos to pas de deux to a work comprising seven performers, offering a wide spectrum of movement languages and approaches, from playing with oversized plastic balls in which the dancers move in their own cosmos to making use of digital devices "composing" the music and control lighting effects. Music by Franz Schubert, Radiohead, Frank Ocean as well as self-composed music and speech is used, sometimes slowed down 800 percent, played backwards and forwards. In their choreographies, the dancers reflect on issues such as the necessity of physical contact, close relationships and various forms of personal and social support. Futuristic visions of our world dealing with the virus share the stage with group choreographies engaging our collective consciousness. When the lockdown began, Dr. Christiane Theobald, provisional artistic director of the Staatsballett Berlin, asked dancers to develop their own choreographies: "Experiments - Discoveries - Variety: artistically examining the elementary experience of isolation during the lockdown through dance is central to LAB_WORKS COVID_19. The circumstances that deeply affected the Staatsballett Berlin dancers, often far away from their families, become a choreographic statement which despite limiting factors is quite moving.

FionaM Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Good news from Munich were the auditorium for September performances was 200, but they are now allowed to sell 300 more, for a total of 500 👏👏👏 That will make quite a difference to their performances of Swan Lake and Giselle this month, even though it is still not quite 25% capacity. Maximum is 2,100 ... but you may remember that a number of rows in the stalls have been removed to allow for a more socially distanced orchestra too. Both ballets have been adapted with agreement from the choreographers/production rights holders to allow for less dancers on stage and in the wings/backstage. It will be very interesting to hear how this goes ... to give hope to other theatres, performers and their audiences. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEj1uJLloul/?igshid=119y1nz82xsev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oberon Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Yes indeed, it took place: 'Schwanensee' at the Munich State Opera at Wednesday! The ensemble had to make some compromises: only 16 swans, one or two scenes deleted, only 500 in the audience. But that means nothing against a full-length ballet presented again in high quality. It was very touching to see the committment and the dedication of the dancers. There was an heartwarming atmosphere of coming back to life. In their Instragam-accounts they speak about a highly emotional experience. It is remarkable how well the dancers kept in shape. Apparently they used the time to work on their roles. Small traces of tension and over-motivation (little swans nearly too precise!) will likely dissipate soon. In addition to the leading couple, Prisca Zeisel was presenting a very expressive black swan, there were very nice smaller solos (Elvina Ibraimova, Dmitrii Vyskubenko, Maria Baranova, Alexey Popov and others) and above all Emilio Pavan (excellent redbeard, more and more one of the outstanding dancers in Munich ) and the wonderful Laurretta Summerscales, the sunshine oft he company, making a lot out of the small role of Charlotte. On Friday she will be seen in the main role - if the corona situation doesn't get in the way. Edited September 10, 2020 by Oberon 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oberon Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) To put it simply: the bride in the human world. The Staatsballett explains the part of Charlotte in the first act as follows: " Charlotte, Siegfried’s intended, is lead in by the Queen. When Siegfried signals to his mother that he is not happy with her choice, the Queen once again reinforces her unrelenting will to seal this engagement. With the very first dance Siegfried lets Charlotte know she cannot win his heart. The Prince, deeply affectedly by his mother’s appearance, sinks into depression, his thoughts confused." In a nice variation she shows her attractiveness and beauty. She appears also in the second act. Edited September 14, 2020 by Oberon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Spontaneous, as we all have become, Bavarian State Ballet announces another premiere for 3. November: Instead of "Jewels", which according to the press release "cannot be adapted to the current hygiene guidelines", they will show a triple bill called "Paradigma" with works by Wayne McGregor, Sharon Eyal/Gai Behar and Liam Scarlett (Igor Zelensky obviously has no problems with his troubled past). The pieces are "Bedroom Folk" by Sharon Eyal and Gai Behar, created in 2015 for NDT 1 and once, in a far time before the virus, part of the plans for a Munich ballet evening in May 2020. "With a Chance of Rain" will be the European premiere of Liam Scarlett’s piece that he made for ABT in 2014. Wayne McGregor’s "Sunyata" was made for Munich in 2018. As the allowance for 500 visitors is still limited for September 2020, they will sell only 200 tickets for the moment. The performances of Giselle will continue in October. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
