dirac Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 A review of Verdi's Requiem at the Adelaide Festival, featuring, by Brian Angus for Bachtrack. Quote Chsristian Spuck's acclaimed reinvention of Verdi’s powerful Messa da Requiem has finally arrived in Adelaide for the 2023 Festival of Arts. Covid bans on travel have delayed it for years, so all the more eager the anticipation. With inspiring choreography, Spuck has added a new dimension to the work. Relegating the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra to the pit, Ballett Zürich blended with an expanded Adelaide Festival Chorus to create a visually stunning drama, taking Verdi’s Requiem to a new and richer level.

dirac Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 An interview with Sylvie Guillem. Quote She has kept a low profile since her official retirement seven years ago, but she has not quit the dance world entirely. She has started to accept engagements as a coach, sharing her expertise and undimmed artistry with the next generation. That’s what has brought her to Melbourne and to the Australian Ballet where she is working with principal dancers on a new production of Don Quixote. Link to comment
dirac Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 Lynn Seymour has died at age 83. Quote The Royal Ballet founder Ninette de Valois rated Lynn Seymour the greatest dramatic dancer in half a century, and she inspired the creation of masterpieces that changed audience expectations of ballet, bringing to life excitingly flawed characters and their often challenging behaviour. Her instinct to find realistic human touches in the idealised women of 19th-century classics had a marked influence on the performers of today. Link to comment
