Produzione Teatro alla Scala

A disillusioned young aristocrat rejects, in sport, what he will later recognise as his true, real love, but by then it is too late. Onegin is the perfect example of modern “drama in dance”. Inspired by the novel in verse by Alexander Pushkin and reinterpreted with mastery and sensitivity by John Cranko, this great tale of ill-fated love is narrated through pas de deux with extraordinary expressive power, precision-sculpted characters and a splendid gallery of company numbers, from jovial peasants to the provincial bourgeoisie, to the nobility. Highlights include the letter scene in act one, depicting Tatiana’s hopes for requited love – one of the most demanding scenes in the modern repertory in terms of execution and interpretation –, the duel and the death of Lensky, and Tatiana and Onegin’s final pas de deux, the triumph of ambiguity and undeclared sentiment.

Produzione Teatro alla Scala

A new La Scala production in October 2011, this most faithful version of Raymonda to the original, which met with triumphant success in St Petersburg in 1898, returns for the 2011/2012 season. Based on a medieval legend, its libretto, featuring ladies-in-waiting, knights, crusaders and Saracens, castles and cathedrals, sparked the imagination of the young Alexander Glazunov, in his first ballet score, and the infinite wisdom of Petipa, who complemented it with an enormously rich and endless succession of classical variations, exotic dances and character dances, mime, lyrical pas de deux and a heavily featured corps de ballet, with a grandiose finale. Drawing on notation from the Harvard archives, original designs housed in the St Petersburg State Museum of Theatre and Theatre Library, La Scala presents the last great work from the glory days of the Imperial Ballet.
