Discreet Hebrew name Jeremiah Rabinovich became known worldwide in its Americanized version – Jerome Robbins … Winner of two Oscars, awards “Tony” and “Emmy” and other various awards, Finally, one of the founders of the American Ballet Theatre, as well as his colleague George Balanchine – a native of Russia. He was born October 11, 1918, ie a month before the end of the First World War and already outside of the Russian Empire – the Jewish hospital in Manhattan, the son of Jewish immigrants – Nathan Rabinowitz.
The whole world is best known Robbins as the director of “West Side Story” (for the film version of a play, and he cut off two “Oscars”) and other popular Broadway musicals (“Fiddler on the Roof,” “The King and I,” “Peter Pan” and others.) and as one of the pillars of another famous American Ballet Theatre “New York City Ballet.” Its main ballets he puts it Balanchine created for this company, which goes to work in 1949. So ballets to Chopin’s music are only one of the facets of his diverse talent and extensive creative heritage.
«I put absolutely classical ballet at a very old-fashioned and romantic music, but therein lies its charm. In a sense, it is a rebellion against modern fads “- said Robbins in 1969, shortly before the premiere of his first ballet to the music of Chopin,” Dancing in the party. ” Actually, the same “revolt against the modern fads” were his ballets to the music of Chopin, chosen for the premiere of the theater of Stanislavsky. And repeat for Robbins – that this is their charm.

The repertoire of “Stasik” has long been successfully walked the ballet “Illusive Ball” – is also the music of Chopin, in fact a successful blueprint of robbinsovskogo hits. Now this theater artists have tried to master the original. However, here a long time ahead of their competitors: the ballet “In the Night” for many years part of the repertoire of the Mariinsky Theatre.
Robbins put it in 1970 in a very difficult period in his life: he was hopelessly in love with a dancer , on the grounds of unrequited love began experimenting with LSD, and then injured his Achilles tendon and the ballet has already put in a wheelchair, thinking about the properties of love: it is born, it becomes boundless feeling, and then dies, and people leave. This he staged the ballet. At the beginning of the three couples dancing in turn, representing different stages of loving feelings. And in the end there together.
All the dancers duet “Stasik” conducted with tact, without the inherent pressure Russian school, musically, in general, quite correctly catching style of ballet. The first lyrical duo (Anna Ol and invited to “Stas” Prime Novosibirsk Ballet Roman Colonels) against the background of the starry night, the second (Xenia Ryzhkov and Denis Dmitriev) – in a more formal atmosphere of the ballroom, which is created is displayed on the backdrop of chandeliers, the third “melodramatic “duo partings (Natalia Somova and Georgi Smilevski) – is” the assurance of denial, pleading – one feeling quickly replaces another ».
At first seen in Russian ballet” Other Dances “(the name also refers to the ballet” Dancing in the party “) is also an interesting story. It was created in 1976 as a wedding gift, Natalia Makarova, commissioned by her friends and fans, the famous ballet patron Eugenia Delyarovoy (in some years, the former wife of Leonid Massine Diaghilev’s favorite). Partner Makarova in this ballet, but in essence, the “Advanced” pas de deux with the adagio, variation and coda “in the Slavic (Russian-Polish) style”, was another famous Soviet defector cult dancer – Mikhail Baryshnikov. His-and dare to practice for the premiere of “Stas” Natalia Osipova and Sergei Polunin – today darlings of fortune and the public favorites. It – take the English Royal Ballet. He – the former prime minister of this company, its partner on the stage (in the evening), and in life, the dancer, who is now “free floating”. The pair on the Moscow stage, these artists appeared for the first time, although previously acted together and in Milan, at La Scala.
All the “pause, omissions, subtexts and shades, all that innuendo movements,” writes about Makarova , talking about the ballet, the first time the duo Osipova, Polunin, frankly, to reveal, unfortunately, failed. There were also purely technical blots. But they showed a ballet on their own, and their dance was present here the necessary freedom, improvisation, spontaneity and light irony, which is generally characteristic of these artists. But the next day to show in a couple of second composition (Denis Dmitriev, Somov Natalia) “Other Dances” came even more – beautiful, refined lines of the dance only to decorate, and in the “sphere of poetic feeling” plunge artists still managed.
The ballet “The Concert”, which went along with the “Other Dances” in the second part – a rare specimen of the genre of comic ballet. He is also well known to us: in 2008 odnoaktovku Robbins brought to Moscow for the “Golden Mask” Perm Opera and Ballet Theater.
Plot – we see a classical music concert, and each student in such a concert inspired by music imagination can carry out in the most unexpected direction. Pianist (Alexander Righteous) here mannered takes the stage and sat down at the piano, do not forget to wipe the dust cloth buttons, and mixed up “connoisseurs” (they have to replant the usher) mercilessly thundering chairs, rustling bags or so enthusiastically immersed in the classics (like it makes exalted “Ballerina” – Xenia Ryzhkov), in a rush of feelings that hug the piano and did not notice when out of them pulled out a chair. The longer the concert there on the imagination of the audience takes from the world of reality into the world of the most bizarre fantasies. More than others here, of course, goes to the ballerina: a shy boy nerd (Alex Babayev) ogloushivaet rasprygavshuyusya Terpsichore stick on the head. A henpecked husband with the same cigar in his mouth (Sergey Manuilov), who came to the concert with my better half (Anastasia Pershenkova), is carried away in their fantasies as far as he sees himself killing hateful shrew-wife (which, however, does not take a weapon – knife simply bend) and then like mad as the leader of the brave hussar in the society of the same beauty ballerina until he was stalking a jealous husband. But then, along with other butterflies, which turn all visitors to the show, happily flits about his lady (wife, of course, pursue it, and here). At the end of the pianist begins to catch all rasplyasavshuyusya and bothered him gop-winged butterfly net the company.
The ballet joke, the earliest of those shown on the evening of the three ballets American classic (1956), was a success troupe “Stasik” best – there can be enough pokomikovat is where to apply their acting skills not only to act in this ballet of 10 artists, but not too numerous (12) corps de ballet. Joking, of course, quite a “bearded” and primitive, though viewed here and witty parody of Balanchine’s ballets. But it was felt in a rush dancers’ Stasik “poprikalyvatsya and off in this skit.
