SeaSon2009 2010

Dear Friends,

Pacific Northwest Ballet’s 2009–2010

season, my fifth as artistic director,

offers an exceptional balance of

new works and prized PNB classics.

Those who subscribe to multiple

programs receive welcome savings

on ticket prices and wonderful

insider benefits, as well as the

most extensive view of our evolving

art form and the Company’s

amazing diversity—plus, of course,

unforgettable performances.

The season opens with Jean-Christophe Maillot’s spellbinding production of Roméo et Juliette, which created a sensation two

seasons ago. Audiences watched our dancers reach new heights of emotional and physical prowess and found “story ballet”

redefined for a new generation.

Repertory 2, DIRECTOR’S CHOICE, is one of my favorites. PNB stages Petite Mort, our first work by European master Jiri Kylian;

a World Premiere by Val Caniparoli, set to Glazunov’s The Seasons; and the return of last season’s smash hit, West Side Story Suite.

There’s also a little contemporary cult classic for this rep called Mopey.

In February, Ronald Hynd’s splendid The Sleeping Beauty revisits our stage after four years. A beautiful princess, enchanting fairies,

the evil Carabosse, and magnificent classical dancing add up to a joyful event for the entire family, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

Ulysses Dove’s choreography is bold, edgy, and thrilling. Repertory 4’s THREE BY DOVE includes the PNB premiere of

Serious Pleasures alongside new favorites, Vespers and Red Angels. Dove-inspired young street choreographer Victor Quijada’s

Suspension of Disbelief rounds out March’s contemporary mixed bill.

Seventy-five years ago, another young choreographer made his first ballet in America: his name was George Balanchine and the

ballet was Serenade. Repertory 5’s ALL BALANCHINE program includes three important and contrasting works by the greatest

choreographer of our time, staged by Francia Russell and me.

The final fireworks of the season happen with the unveiling of a magnificent, all-new production of George Balanchine and

Alexandra Danilova’s Coppélia. This is the ballet that made a nine-year-old named Peter Boal ask if he could dance. All new costumes

and sets by award-winning designer Roberta Guidi di Bagno (The Merry Widow) will draw gasps of delight. The entire Company and

dozens of students are part of this refreshing ballet that just might make you want to dance, too.

I’d like to offer a sincere word of appreciation to every PNB subscriber. We would never be the Company we are today without you

and, needless to say, we need you now. We promise to reward you with entertainment, education, fresh perspective, and inspiration.

Thank you for joining us for another great season at the ballet. I look forward to seeing you at McCaw Hall!

Sold-out performances and glowing reviews followed PNB’s West Coast premiere of

Jean-Christophe Maillot’s Roméo et Juliette. Praised as “seamlessly fusing the

vocabularies of ballet and modern dance…an astonishing and absorbing view of an

old world with all the impetus of the new” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer), the ballet’s

stylized movement and avant-garde design narrow focus to the core of Shakespeare’s

tragedy with intensity that equals Sergei Prokofiev’s passionate score. Maillot drives

the story’s plot with action that is distinctly cinematic in nature while employing the

production’s lustrous simplicity to underscore and balance its character definitions.

Most significantly, Roméo et Juliette’s fearless depiction of the elation and devastation

of young love demands such a high degree of commitment from its principals that

2007 audiences rushed to multiple performances, eager to witness every moment in

the evolution of our dancers as artists.

For his fourth DIRECTOR’S CHOICE mixed bill, Peter Boal compiled this selection

of enticing premieres and repertory hits for a kaleidoscopic view of the Company’s

talent. Signifying a major arrival at PNB, Petite Mort affirms Jiri Kylian’s reputation

as one of the most inventive and daring choreographers in the world. In this

breathtaking, postmodern visualization of Mozart, a corseted ensemble of six men

(with fencing foils) and six women suspend time and dimension in a two-part

wonder of precision, grace, and sensuality. Mopey’s 15-minute solo blitzkrieg

through adolescence had audiences leaping from their seats in 2005, “beautiful,

label-defying…masterfully embodies the chameleonic nature of teens”

(The Seattle Times). A newly commissioned work by Val Caniparoli (Lambarena

and The Bridge) set to Alexander Glazunov’s The Seasons makes its World

Premiere, and the program is topped off by the welcome return of Jerome

Robbins’ West Side Story Suite, “a distillation…that only intensifies the headlong

teenage rush of it” (Seattlest.com).

the Rose Adagio’s spectacular balances to Act III’s celebrated

Bluebird pas de deux, offers golden opportunity for dancers to

showcase individual interpretation and milestone accomplish-

ment. Ultimately, however, the pivotal brilliance of Beauty

rests with Aurora; she must captivate as a teenager and awaken

a queen, all while conquering some of the most technically

challenging choreography in classical ballet’s canon – a genuine

mark of distinction for a great ballerina.

Like savoring the work of an old master, The Sleeping Beauty

fills one’s senses with majestic grace and tradition, consistently

rewarding ballet novice and connoisseur alike. Intrinsically

coupled with Tchaikovsky’s treasured score and with over 30

leading roles to cast, Beauty’s grand-scale staging represents

a caliber of excellence reserved for the finest ballet companies

and orchestras in the world. Although this production is as

discernibly English as its choreographer, Ronald Hynd, the ballet

remains true to Marius Petipa’s original direction and each act,

from the evil fairy Carabosse’s flying entrance in the Prologue to

he said about his work. “In every embrace, every second of life

[should be] lived so fully that there can be no regrets, no

retreats, no looking back” (Connoisseur). The late Ulysses Dove

(1947-1996) documented life in the language of dance and left

a legacy that speaks with Teutonic energy, relentless drive, and

open desire. Performed to an electric violin score, Red Angels’

four dancers confront the audience in a series of scorching

solos and duets and then walk away into a fiery landscape,

arms extended like wings. Vespers’ six women draw on Dove’s

memories of his grandmother’s congregation, their strength

in harmony, and their determined struggle to reach the light. In

Serious Pleasures, a PNB premiere, Dove uses light to create

doorways and pathways to the social turmoil of the 80s, where

human isolation, alienation, and intersection are portrayed

with stunning clarity and signature athleticism. Contemporary

dance-fusion choreographer Victor Quijada credits Dove

among those who have inspired his work. Quijada’s Suspension

of Disbelief, a 2006 PNB World Premiere, completes the

program—“The energy was loose and twisty…a sped-up chain

of unexpected movements, seemed impossibly fluid…The

audience roared approval” (The Seattle Times).

When George Balanchine came to America in 1933, he found a country that knew

little about ballet. Inspired by America’s freedom, youth, and modern vitality, he

whole-heartedly adopted his new home, and through a prodigious outpouring

of works, shaped in part by limited resources, he removed layers of classical ballet’s

conventional excess. PNB pays tribute to the greatest choreographer of the 20th

century and its own artistic heritage with ALL BALANCHINE, an homage to the man

who revolutionized an art form in ways that have changed it forever.

Balanchine’s first American ballet, Serenade (1934), was choreographed for his

students. An ideal manifestation of Tchaikovsky’s soaring Serenade for Strings,

its transcendent purity endures and renews itself as a primary testament to

the choreographer’s genius. Square Dance (1957) knits classical ballet with the

patterns of 17th-century court and American folk dance for a buoyant, intricate

work, notable for its powerful male solo. The Four Temperaments (1946), a

quintessential “black and white” Balanchine ballet, is an early experiment in

spare abstraction based on mythological belief in four personality types. Here, in

a series of plotless variations executed by dancers in practice clothes on a bare

stage, Balanchine proclaims a new era in ballet with some of the most uniquely

evocative images ever created.

PNB realizes a fond aspiration of Artistic Director Peter Boal with an all-new

production of George Balanchine’s classic Coppélia (1974). Based on Balanchine’s

memories of the Russian production, and staged in close collaboration with the

great dancer Alexandra Danilova, Coppélia has been called one of the happiest

ballets in existence. Much of its lasting appeal may be attributed to a melodiously

beautiful score by French composer Léo Delibes, legendary for his ability

to illustrate dance atmosphere and action. For its new production, PNB has

commissioned Italian scenic and costume designer Roberta Guidi di Bagno, whose

enchanting conceptions were last admired by audiences of The Merry Widow.

Drawn from ballet’s Romantic period and informed by a 19th-century fascination

with mechanical toys, Coppélia is the tale of vivacious young lovers, Swanilda and

Franz, whose courtship is briefly interrupted when Doctor Coppelius, the village’s

eccentric inventor, creates a doll so life-like that Franz becomes infatuated. When her

suitor attempts a clandestine rendezvous, Swanilda evens the score by dressing as

the doll and pretending to come to life. Ultimately, the pair is reconciled, and

Act III’s effervescent wedding-day festivities, re-choreographed by Balanchine, offer

an array of spectacular dances. A masterpiece of comic timing and characterization,

enlightened by the wit and wisdom of George Balanchine, Coppélia offers absolute

delight to newcomers and families, as well as PNB’s most seasoned patrons.
