The gala continues the Central Ballet's tradition of "national treasure choreography and world-class performance". The evening is a continuation of the Central Ballet's "national treasure choreography, world-class repertoire". The evening continues the Central Ballet's high-end creative thinking. Its three major attractions, attention: first, by the famous French ballet master Jean-Paul Barthelet, who is the most famous ballet master in the world. First, the famous French ballet master Jean-Paul Gravier choreographed and directed the Gravier choreographed by the famous French ballet master Jean-Paul Gravier "Raimonda" with its magnificent grandeur let a person breathtaking, this is the first time that the play was staged in China; Second, last year, the Chinese ballet invited the world famous ballet choreographer Roland Petit to rehearse "Carmen", which is a world-class production of "Carmen". Petit rehearsal "Carmen" and other plays, widely praised by all sectors of society, this performance will be the first time the play debut in the Tianqiao Theater, thus creating a new play more than half a year for more than six consecutive performances of the miracle of Beijing's four major theaters; Thirdly, the Chinese Ballet has invited the Paris Opera Ballet two major ballet stars to join the ballet with the ballet actors on stage to perform the "Carmen" and the "Ales City Girl", the stars of the Chinese and French ballet on the same stage*** Dance, the entire performance to a new level! The whole performance was pushed to a new height.
As one of the Central Ballet's key launches this year, Raimunda is recognized as the crown jewel of classical ballet, which was choreographed and directed by Tchaikovsky's three major ballets of the Russian classical ballet's founding father, Petipa, the last major work of his life. 1898, when he created the ballet was already eighty years old. Raimonda is a fictionalized love story set in medieval Provence, France, told in a sophisticated and complex choreographic vocabulary. Grazunov's passionate music is a perfect illustration of the artistry of Raimonda.
The classic ballets Carmen and The Girl from the City of Ales, which have been performed more than 5,000 times around the world with an audience of more than 300,000 people, were an unprecedented success in Beijing last year, and the audience realized the perfect fusion of the romance of France and the charm of China. In the face of the passionate Chinese audience, the world famous ballet master Roland Petit passionately confessed: "This is the best ballet in China. Petit confessed emotionally: this is the best version of "Carmen" I have seen, let me return to half a century ago? The first time I saw the movie, I was so happy to see it, I was so happy to see the movie!
In conjunction with the China-France Cultural Week, the Chinese government has organized a series of performances to celebrate the anniversary of Carmen.
In conjunction with the Sino-French Cultural Week? The Central Ballet has invited two star actors from the Paris Opera Ballet, Manuel Légeri and Bonjaman Légeri, to perform in the program. The two stars of the Paris Opera Ballet, Manuel Légeri and Bonjaman Petsch, have been honored with many international awards. Manuel Légeri and Bonjaman Petsch have not only won many gold medals in international ballet competitions, but also won the They have been awarded the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de France and the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de France. and the Chevalier de l'Ordre National des Arts et des Lettres. Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Professionnel. It is said that the two ballet stars learned that will come to Beijing to perform with the stars of the Chinese ballet, has long been unable to hold back the expectations of the Chinese performances: to be able to work with China's world-class actors on the same stage is not a challenge, as if the opportunity; only nervous, excited!
The Central Ballet's first challenge is Roland Petit.
The Central Ballet's first challenge to Roland Pettitti is to bring the three works of Roland Pettitti to the stage. The three works of Roland Petit, the Chinese Ballet in November 2005 for the first time in the history of China's program, which should be said first of all that this is a major event in the culture. And in addition to the Central Ballet can not be done, only in Ms. Zhao Ruhang its majesty and wisdom under the leadership of the Ballet, some of the Western European program, after careful selection to make it have and staged.
The dancers in the company, whose level of dance is mind-bogglingly high, have excellent dance fundamentals, and are moving into areas where the style is really difficult, and their rigor and passion for ballet seems to have been observed by many French ballet companies. For us, the wealth of French ballet, Roland Petit's work is so well represented. Petit's work was so brilliantly guarded that it took root from her in China. In any case, there is a sense of urgency in our hearts!
Ms. Zhao Ruhang chose this June at the Paris Opera to perform the same program "The Girl from the City of Ales," "The Young and the Dead," "Carmen," the stage and costumes are under the direction of the Frenchman Stav in China under the guidance of the local production, costumes are the Paris Opera capable of Philippe Bino, lighting is faithful to the work of Roland Petit, and the production of the "Carmen. Bino, the lighting was faithful to Roland? Pétit's Acistanto, Jean-Michel Bino, and the lighting is faithful to Roland Pétit's Acistanto. Jean-Michel Dresi was in charge of all aspects of the production. Jean-Michel Dresi was in charge of all aspects of the production. With regard to the dances, in the absence of Roland Petit, it was a matter of time before he arrived. Petti was not present, the choreography was done by Rigel? Baunino and Jean-Michel Dresi. Jean-Philippe Arnaud. Arnaud is in charge of the solo dances and the rehearsals of some dance sequences for the time being.
The first thing we saw at the opening of the public performance was a Van Gogh painting as a backdrop, and the Viennese performer was Wang Qimin, a beautiful doll full of both naughty and sad sensibilities, and with her being a long, slender ballerina, she not only has the physical and technical skills to express the ideals of the genre, but she is also a gifted performer with the ability to express emotions.
As we all know, the role of Viford, not only to make the first moving skills, the difficulty lies in giving life to this role, with concise choreography conveying the intense emotions, Wang Qimin has reached the realm of the ten perfect. This level is comparable only to that of Eleonora Abagnat, who played the same role at the Paris Opera in June. Abagnat. Wang's partner, Li Jun, has excellent technique, and in his energetic solo at the end of the act, we saw that he is an actor with theatricality.
In the following "The Young and the Dead", first of all, don't forget to mention that Zhang Jian, who plays the main actress, is an excellent actress with beautiful movements of her legs, strong acting ability, and agility, who has the ability to perform a wide range of roles.
Li Jun he is very large scale young dancer, able to make the character one with himself, he tore into the young man's deepest despair of love, showing his accurate understanding of the role. All this makes us feel strongly. Here it can be said that it is typical of French culture, a model used in our French settings.
The biggest takeaway from Carmen is that Joo-yeon, in the role shown in the title, has a strong personality, not unlike the gestures of the illusory character played by Tauren's Wang Qimin, who is also a beautiful ballet principal. Her technique is unbroken, and Roland? Petit's 1949 work for the young and pretty Gigi, Jean? He created this unique role in 1949 for the young and beautiful Gigi, Jean-Michel, across a wide range of difficulties. The play, which he himself considered to be beautifully avant-garde at the time, has not lost its modernity to this day. For the character of Carmen, she is a dancer who is able to analyze love and hate from the depths of her heart, a dancer of great talent, and all of this understanding comes out of the daily grind, over and over again, which is why we feel that she is full of deep meaning.
The technique and performance of her partner, Yu Bo, is impeccable, and Roland Petit's creation is a good one. This is a good creation by Petit, indeed the choreographer invited by the ballet from a foreign country. But because of the absorption of its original style, and to guard, inheritance, in this regard, especially in the play "Carmen", all members of the ballet made a good demonstration.
The performance in the theater of Peking University was well received by the audience, and should be applauded for this victory, and it is a rare thing to be applauded by the audience who want to go home as soon as the performance is over in China.
It is said that Ms. Zhao Ruhang hopes that Roland Petit will bring other works to China in the future.
It is said that Ms. Zhao Ruhang hopes that Roland Petit will bring other works to China in the future. Petit also in the Champs Elysées Theatre by Maki-Azami Ballet was given the intention to bring performances of new repertoire.
The Champs-élysées could indeed open its doors to the Central Ballet, with its wide range of talented performers.
