 KC Ballet - Fall 2008 - Music Hall (10/9/2008 through 10/12/2008)  Map 
Fall Program, October 9-12, 2008, Lyric Theatre
TitleChoreographyMusic
The ConcertJerome RobbinsFrédéric Chopin
The Naughty BoyTrey McIntyreWolfgang A. Mozart
RodeoAgnes de MilleAaron Copland

Tickets: Kansas City Ballet box office at 816.931.2232 x375

The 51st season will kick off with a program for the young at heart on October 9-12, 2008, at the Lyric Theatre with one Kansas City PREMIERE: Trey McIntyre’s The Naughty Boy and two master works, Agnes de Mille’s Rodeo and Jerome Robbins’ The Concert.

The Fall Show will close with the lively Rodeo, choreographed by the American master Agnes de Mille and set to the music of another American genius, Aaron Copland. This love story of the American Southwest was the inspiration for Roger and Hammerstein’s popular musical Oklahoma! De Mille herself played the lead in Rodeo at the Metropolitan Opera House premiere in October 1942. She received 22 curtain calls. This piece of pure Americana consists of five sections: Buckaroo Holiday, Ranch House Party, Corral Nocturne, Saturday Night Waltz and Hoe-Down. The story it tells is perennial: how a girl, with the odds seemingly against her, sets out to get herself a man. The girl in this case is a cowgirl, a tomboy whose comically desperate efforts to be accepted as one of the ranch’s cowhands create a dilemma for the cowboys and make her the laughingstock of womenfolk.

The Concert, as described by Anna Kisselgoff of The New York Times, “is surely the most comic ballet of all time.” The Concert appears to make jokes about Chopin’s music but its true and deeper subjects are human dreams and yearnings, and the daydream fantasies music creates from the joys and miseries of their own lives. Dressed alike but distinguished by various hats, socks, vests, ties, and even by a cigar, people straggle into what might be a piano recital and set up folding chairs. The characters reveal themselves as the shy boy, the tough girl, the two gossipy ladies who rummage in their handbags at inappropriate moments, the serious music lover, and the henpecked husband and his wife. Just getting the seating arrangements straightened out becomes a sidesplitting moment.

Robbins satirized other choreographers with a knowing and respectful wink by including such motifs as the “daisy chains” that George Balanchine often put into his ballets (a line of dancers holding hands winds into knots that magically untie), and the corps de ballet of nymphs with delicately wafting arms prominently featured in Mikhail Fokine’s Les Sylphides. But in Robbins’s piece, the knots turn into an impossible snarl, and his clumsy sylphs don’t always agree on where to turn.

Trey McIntyre’s The Naughty Boy, set to Mozart’s Violin Concerto in G, focuses on the romantic antics of four couples and a Cupid. The Naughty Boy begins with a curtain drawn across two-thirds of the stage and Cupid wearing a whimsical orange coonskin hat and a fitted plaid jacket. The movement expands as the couples entangle and engage under Cupid’s influence. Suddenly colorful paper streamers fly through the air, paving the way for Cupid to flee the stage, and she does, darting mischievously with a teasing smile. The sprightly Cupid reappears and throughout the ballet joins and cajoles the couples as she sees fit. The dance showcases McIntyre’s confident, sassy, and breezy use of classical ballet.

 KC Ballet - Fall 2008 - Music Hall (10/9/2008 through 10/12/2008)  Map 
Fall Program, October 9-12, 2008, Lyric Theatre
TitleChoreographyMusic
The ConcertJerome RobbinsFrédéric Chopin
The Naughty BoyTrey McIntyreWolfgang A. Mozart
RodeoAgnes de MilleAaron Copland

Tickets: Kansas City Ballet box office at 816.931.2232 x375

The 51st season will kick off with a program for the young at heart on October 9-12, 2008, at the Lyric Theatre with one Kansas City PREMIERE: Trey McIntyre’s The Naughty Boy and two master works, Agnes de Mille’s Rodeo and Jerome Robbins’ The Concert.

The Fall Show will close with the lively Rodeo, choreographed by the American master Agnes de Mille and set to the music of another American genius, Aaron Copland. This love story of the American Southwest was the inspiration for Roger and Hammerstein’s popular musical Oklahoma! De Mille herself played the lead in Rodeo at the Metropolitan Opera House premiere in October 1942. She received 22 curtain calls. This piece of pure Americana consists of five sections: Buckaroo Holiday, Ranch House Party, Corral Nocturne, Saturday Night Waltz and Hoe-Down. The story it tells is perennial: how a girl, with the odds seemingly against her, sets out to get herself a man. The girl in this case is a cowgirl, a tomboy whose comically desperate efforts to be accepted as one of the ranch’s cowhands create a dilemma for the cowboys and make her the laughingstock of womenfolk.

The Concert, as described by Anna Kisselgoff of The New York Times, “is surely the most comic ballet of all time.” The Concert appears to make jokes about Chopin’s music but its true and deeper subjects are human dreams and yearnings, and the daydream fantasies music creates from the joys and miseries of their own lives. Dressed alike but distinguished by various hats, socks, vests, ties, and even by a cigar, people straggle into what might be a piano recital and set up folding chairs. The characters reveal themselves as the shy boy, the tough girl, the two gossipy ladies who rummage in their handbags at inappropriate moments, the serious music lover, and the henpecked husband and his wife. Just getting the seating arrangements straightened out becomes a sidesplitting moment.

Robbins satirized other choreographers with a knowing and respectful wink by including such motifs as the “daisy chains” that George Balanchine often put into his ballets (a line of dancers holding hands winds into knots that magically untie), and the corps de ballet of nymphs with delicately wafting arms prominently featured in Mikhail Fokine’s Les Sylphides. But in Robbins’s piece, the knots turn into an impossible snarl, and his clumsy sylphs don’t always agree on where to turn.

Trey McIntyre’s The Naughty Boy, set to Mozart’s Violin Concerto in G, focuses on the romantic antics of four couples and a Cupid. The Naughty Boy begins with a curtain drawn across two-thirds of the stage and Cupid wearing a whimsical orange coonskin hat and a fitted plaid jacket. The movement expands as the couples entangle and engage under Cupid’s influence. Suddenly colorful paper streamers fly through the air, paving the way for Cupid to flee the stage, and she does, darting mischievously with a teasing smile. The sprightly Cupid reappears and throughout the ballet joins and cajoles the couples as she sees fit. The dance showcases McIntyre’s confident, sassy, and breezy use of classical ballet.
