- Synopsis:
Three contrasting ballets by The Royal Ballets Founder Choreographer Frederick Ashton: The Dream (1964) is an enchanting adaptation of Shakespeares A Midsummer Nights Dream to music by Mendelssohn. Symphonic Variations (1946) is an early Ashton masterpiece, and a breathtaking, abstract work on the beauty of pure movement. Marguerite and Armand (1963), here danced by former Royal Ballet Principal Zenaida Yanowsky and Guest Artist Roberto Bolle, is a tragic love story of great lyric beauty. The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House is conducted by Emmanuel Plasson. 'First-rate dancing in an Ashton triple bill that offers comedy, serenity and demi-monde ardour' (The Stage). 'Saying farewell to the Royal Ballet after 23 years, Yanowsky shows her quality as an actress, a dancer and a star. Theres a grand sweep to her movement, while her alert stage presence makes tiny moments count... - Actors:
