Description
P.W. Manchester and Carolyn Watts discuss the moving of the world ballet center from France to Russia and the ballet world in Russia during the time of Petipa; recorded at WGUC-FM, the radio station of the University of Cincinnati, for its program Arabesques, and broadcast on the National Public Radio network, in 1975. Streaming audio file (approximately 30 minutes). [Music and announcements.] P. W. Manchester and Carolyn Watts discuss how the world ballet center moved from France to Russia in the second half of the 19th century including the various factors that led to the decline of ballet during that period in Western Europe; Marius Petipa's move to Russia; the importance of spectacle and showing the ballerinas to best effect; C.W. Manchester speaks about Petipa's ballet La bayadère [a recording of an excerpt from the music by Ludwig Minkus for the act in La bayadère known as Kingdom of the shades is played]; Ludwig Minkus and other composers who wrote music for ballet; the formulaic structure of Petipa's ballets and how this facilitated the composition of the accompanying music; the role of Italian dancers and teachers such as Enrico Cecchetti in bringing virtuosity to the Russian ballet [a recording from an excerpt of the music by Ludwig Minkus for the ballet Don Quixote is played]; more on Minkus [music and announcements].
