PROGRAM NOTESACT I

The Garden of Prince Siegfried’s Castle

Prince Siegfried has come of age and entered upon a new world of affairs of war and the burdens of manhood. It is the day for leaving behind the whims and caprice of youth. A happy day for the Prince, though touched by anxiety. The kindly jester and tutor who have been the Prince’s loving companions since his childhood are the first to congratulate him. He greets his companions and joyfully accepts the congratulations of all the residents of the Castle.

The Prince’s subjects come from far and wide to take part in the festivities. They confer upon him the sword and scepter of authority and swear allegiance to their new ruler. His mother, the Queen Mother of the Realm, presents him with an arbalest as a gift and reminds him that the time has come to choose a bride and that he must make the fateful decision at tomorrow’s ball. He is eager to contemplate this life change in silence. The festivities continue, but the Prince is overcome by a desire to be alone, far from his guests. As he begins to search the contents of his heart he notices a flight of white swans heading toward the nearby lake. He is inspired and follows them there, disappearing into the night.

ACT IIA Lakeside

The voyage to the lake takes the Prince into the depths of the forest. He approaches the Swans quietly and as he nears he sees something quite out of the ordinary. The Swans have stepped ashore and assumed human form! Siegfried lowers the crossbow, astonished with their striking beauty. He gathers his courage and reveals himself. Odette, the swans’ Queen tells him of their terrible curse. They are all at the mercy of the wicked sorcerer Rothbart and only by finding true love can the evil spell be lifted. Siegfried, overcome with love at first sight, swears to her an everlasting love. As the sun beings to dawn, Odette warns him that if he breaks his oath, nothing will be able to help them. The Prince is completely overcome by the incomparable and exquisite delicacy of Odette, and swears that he will return and free her from the evil spell. As the sunlight touches them, the women transform back into Swans, cloaked in silence.

CAST

Company of 50Elena Radchenko, Artistic Director

The Russian National Ballet Theatre was founded in Moscow during the transitional period of Perestroika in the late 1980s, when many of the great dancers and choreographers of the Soviet Union’s ballet institutions were exercising their new-found creative freedom. They started new, vibrant companies dedicated not only to the timeless tradition of classical Russian Ballet, but to invigorate this tradition as the Russians began to accept new developments in the dance from around the world.

The company, then titled the Soviet National Ballet, was founded by and incorporated graduates from the great Russian choreographic schools of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Perm. The principal dancers of the company came from the upper ranks of the great ballet companies and academies of Russia, and the companies of Riga, Kiev and even Warsaw. Today, the Russian National Ballet Theatre is its own institution, with more than 50 dancers of singular instruction and vast experience, many of whom have been with the company since its inception. In addition to their extensive tour history, beginning in January 2017 the company embarked upon a four-month coast-to-coast tour of the United States.

In 1994, the legendary Bolshoi principal dancer Elena Radchenko was selected by Presidential decree to assume the first permanent artistic directorship of the company. Radchenko is the founder of the Russian National Ballet Theatre, and she has focused the Company on upholding the grand national tradition of the major Russian ballet works and developing new talents throughout Russia, with a repertory of virtually all of the great full works of Petipa: Don Quixote, La Bayadere, The Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, Raymonda, Paquita, Coppelia and La Sylphide, as well as productions of, among others, The Nutcracker, Sylvia and La Fille Mal Gardee.

ACT IIIThe Great Hall of Prince Siegfried’s Castle

The castle resounds to the clamor of festivities. Renowned princesses from Hungary, Russia, Spain, Italy and Poland are presented to the Prince. He must choose one of them as his bride, in order to strengthen his authority and consolidate his power. However, in none of these royal heiresses does he find a maiden comparable to Odette, to whom he has given his heart. He rejects them all.

With an overwhelming blare of trumpets, a couple of new guests are announced. The evil sorcerer, Rothbart, enters in the guise of a noble knight, and following close behind is his daughter, Odylle, who looks remarkably like Odette. The similarity is so close, in fact, that Siegfried believes, if only for a split second, that it is Odette standing there before him. Odylle seizes the brief moment of illusion as an opportunity and will not allow him to find his senses. She becomes a bewitching temptress, luring him, hypnotizing him, and tricking him into confessing his undying love to her! In this hypnotic stupor, he proclaims that Odylle is to be his bride. Rothbart has triumphed! Siegfried has broken his oath to Odette, betraying her by professing love to another, thereby dooming Odette and the others to an eternity under Rothbart’s evil power. Suddenly a vision of the Swan Lake appears before Siegfried’s eyes, snapping him back into reality. He realizes the terrible mistake he has made. In despair he leaves the palace and hurries to Odette at the Lake.

ACT IVThe Lakeside

Night falls again on the Lake. The swan maidens are anxious, for if the Prince does not fulfill his vow to set them free, they will be doomed to everlasting captivity. The sorcerer raises a raging storm to conceal the Swan Lake behind a screen of dark clouds, but the Prince rushes headlong through the storm to Odette. The sorcerer attempts to conceal her from him, but no power can stop the young man whose heart is so full of love.

The Prince overcomes all obstacles, and the spell cast by the evil sorcerer is dashed forever on the rock of true love.

PROGRAM NOTES RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET THEATRE

76

Ballet as a dance form was established hundreds of years ago in the royal courts of Italy and France. In 1662, the first ballet school was established in Paris’ “Academie Royale de Danse” and French became the official language of ballet. You can take a ballet class anywhere in the world and all the steps will still have French names.

Swan Lake was first conceived in 1868 when Tchaikovsky was traveling the River Rhine with the Director of Moscow Imperial Theatres. They passed romantic ruins and castles which inspired them to create the story of swans transforming into humans, which is also a story line that can be traced back to Russian and German folklore. This was Tchaikovsky’s first ballet and he decided to accept the job, “partly because I need the money and partly because I have long cherished the desire to try my hand at this kind of music.” Tchaikovsky was given six months to complete the composition, but it took him two years. He received 800 rubles for payment – considered a small fortune in his day, which would be about 23 dollars in today’s world. Tchaikovsky wrote many symphonies, operas and concerti, but only three ballet scores – which happen to be three of the most popular ballets of all time: Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker.

Ballets are like good family stories – they are passed down from generation to generation. The first Swan Lake opened in 1877, and was considered a failure due to poor choreography, mediocre dancing and music that was too complex for ballet. After Tchaikovsky’s death, there was a successful revival by prominent choreographer, Marius Petipa and his assistant, Lev Ivanov in 1895. There are different alterations but most productions are done in four acts using Petipa’s choreography for acts one and three, and lakeside acts by Lev Ivanov. Both of these geniuses added artistry, strong dancers and introduced new technical feats including fouettés to be danced by the Black Swan. A fouetté is a turn in which one leg makes a whipped circle. To perform consecutive turns requires strength, stamina and a head technique called “spotting.” This technique was first performed by Pierina Legnani in Petipa’s Cinderella. For a long time, Russian dancers couldn’t figure out Legnani’s secret to these mesmerizing turns, until a dancer discovered “spotting” where you avoid being dizzy by keeping your eyes on the same fixed point.

The most notorious step in the ballet repertory is in Swan Lake when Odylle completes 32 fouetté turns. During this sequence, after the first 16 bars, the music changes but her character carries on regardless. The quick up-and-down of the ballerina’s foot sometimes sends her traveling downstage, but the ideal sequence of 32 fouettés never travels from a single spot.

Ballet steps are similar to words in a sentence. A dancer uses these and many more gestures combined with facial expressions and body movement to share silent sentences. Some universal gestures include:

• Love – hand over heart• Anger – fist shaken• Fear – body leaning away with hands open and palms out• Revenge – clenched fist comes from overhead down in front of body• Beautiful – hand circling face• Death – two fists crossed at wrists, arms straight in front

Food for thought - be on the look-out for opposites, which is the main theme of Swan Lake: night vs. day, dark vs. light, good vs. evil, humans vs. animals, freedom vs. imprisonment, love vs. betrayal, nature and the lake vs. human creation and the castle. Find the story the dancers are sharing and notice how the lighting, music, costumes and most importantly dancing reveals these opposites.
