Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, September 15-17, 2004 C-5 The Park Record Ballet West opens 2004-2005 season Triple-bill follows on the heels of successful Scottish tour Come see Aaron Jasinaky's Ballet West will open its 20042005 season with a line-up of magnificent proportions, beginning with "Fall Festival." the program that graced the prestigious stage of the Hdinburgh International Festival in Scotland in August. Featuring works by British choreographer Antony Tudor. "Full Festival" includes "The Leaves Are Fading," originally created by Gelsey Kirkland and Jonas Kage in I977 at American Ballet Theatre, and "Lilac Garden." both ol' which are currently in Ballet West's repertoire. New to Ballet West is "Offenbach in the Underworld," the concluding piece on the triple-bill. Considered the most lyrical and emotionally powerful of modern ballet masters. Tudor is acclaimed for his imaginative use of music and his commitment to dramatic plot, Limiting himself to classical techniques, his works convey emotional conflict and aspects of characters using subtle gestures as opposed to elaborate choreography. "Tudor was very concerned about issues and could mirror them in a most effective way," said Ballet West Artistic Director Jonas Kage. "He looked at the complexity ol' human relations and people caught in situations they couldn't do anything about. He was really a pioneer in that area." "The Leaves Are Fading" was created for American Ballet Theatre and choreographed by Kage and Gelsey Kirkland. It was given its world premiere on July I 7, 1975 at the New York State Theatre. New York City. For this work, Tudor chose mostly from Anlonin Dvorak's little-known work, "Cypress." together with other chamber music for strings written by the composer in the !88Us. 'The Leaves are Fading" was Tudor's last major work. Set to the sort and romantic music oi Dvorak, Tudors fluid choreography is complimented by Patricia Zipprodl's hand-painted chiffon costumes and the simple, yet elegant, backdrops of Ming Cho Lee. One of Tudor s most famous dramatic ballets, "Lilac Garden," concerns itself with hiding true emotions from.public display. The ballet tells the story of Caroline, a young woman who is about to enter a marriage of convenience, and attends a party preceding the ceremony." artwork - .On'display in our cafe MM) Cybercafe PC Roasters Coffee Tons of Machines Crazy Fast Connection Print, Scan, Burn CDs 7 Satisfying days a week 738 Lower Main Street 649-0051 Come On In!

The program begins Sept. 24 and continues through Oct. 1. Among the guests are tliu man she really loves and the woman who, unbeknownst to her, has been her fiance's mistress. Quick meetings and uninterrupted confidences culminate with Caroline leaving on the arm of her betrothed, never having satisfied the desperate longing for one final kiss. 'The action of "Offenbach in the Underworld" takes place in a fashionable cafe in the 1870s where many people come to relax and enjoy themselves at the hour when most people go to sleep. As it has an international reputation, visiting celebrities come to see, to be seen and to be amused. Among them are a famous operetta star and one of her admirers, a grand duke. A debutante o'i good family, accompanied by three of her friends, arrives veiled in order not' \o be recognized in a place, which, for families, is "out ol' bounds." There is a painter who, like all young painters, is penniless and tries to earn a meager living by drawing sketches ol' the cafe's patrons. 'liiere is no story to the ballet, for the flirtations that take place at such a time are more often half-forgotten by the next morning, 'liiere is neither a sad ending nor a happy ending, but only a closing time.
