Programme 3 - Le Pavillion d'Armide/Bolero/L-Apres-midi d-un Faune - T1103852430Le Pavillion d'Armide was originally choreographed by Fokine (a new version by Jurijus Smoriginas) and designed by Benois to music by Nikolai Tcherepnin based on a story by Gautier. It was premiered in 1907 at the Maryinsky Theatre in St petersburg, with Pavlova, Gerdt, and Nijinsky; Diaghilev presented it on his first night at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris in 19 May 1909. Maurice Ravel's Boloero, like Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring caused a sensation by pushing the musical boundaries of its time, was originally choreographed by Bronislava Nijinska, the first lady ballet-master and Nijinsky's sister. A faun encounters a group of nymphs in the dreamlike and sensual L'Apres-Midi D'Un Faune - one of Claude Debussy's most famous works and, again, considered a turning point in the history of music, causing great shock and scandal when it was first performed by Nijinsky; who also choreographed it. | |
