Going to a performance of the Dutch National Ballet tomorrow and you know how opera and ballet have this kinda elitist reputation? Like that it's for the Rich and Cultured?

And it's funny because the National Ballet and Opera are trying so hard to be accessible to everyone but also gloriously fail at it. In the FAQ there is a section about dresscode that says there is no dresscode because all kinds of people attend shows but it does so using some stupid non common elitist sounding word. Also tickets are stupid expensive. I am only going because I got a student discount. I got a €70+ ticket for 19 euros.

Idk where I was going with this. I am very excited but researching the website also just made me feel like a poor pleb for being unfamiliar with this kind of Culture but that might also just be my own self doubt in part

Hii stupid question but i tried googling it and nothing, do ballerinas work on Christmas day? And what is the schedule with the big ballet companies (dutch national ballet,Paris opera ballet) when it comes to nutcracker season and all year around for the dancers ? When is off season for them

Rarely are there truly stupid questions and this certainly isn't one. It depends on the company's schedule, a lot of theaters have Nutcrackers on the 24th, 25th, and 26th of December, and that generally means we're working. Some years we haven't had shows on the 25th but we did on the 26th, in that case, we just came in for a short morning class and the principals rehearsed for maybe an hour if they wanted and then we all went home to enjoy the holiday. Generally, companies have a couple of weeks off after the holiday season ends. We also have the summer season 'off' unless we're going on tour, but most of us take some of that as vacation and then busy ourselves with different gigs or other projects.

Anne Raven Wilkinson (February 2, 1935 – December 17, 2018) In August 1955 she became the first African American woman to receive a contract to dance full-time with a major ballet company, the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo of New York City. She was promoted to soloist during her second season with the troupe and remained with the company for six years. She was born in New York City to Anne James Wilkinson and Dr. Frost Bernie Wilkinson, a dentist. She had been a fan of ballet since the age of five. On her ninth birthday, an uncle gave her the gift of ballet lessons at the Swoboda School where she studied under the direction of well-known dancers from Russia’s Bolshoi Theatre. She later transferred to the Professional Children’s School in the Bronx where she continued her training, remaining there through her last two years of high school. She first auditioned for a position with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in 1954. Twice she was rejected but she persevered. On her third try, Sergei Denham, the company’s director, informed her that she would be accepted into the Company. She was asked not to publicize her race, she often had to wear white makeup onstage to conceal her racial identity. In 1957, the owner of a hotel in Atlanta asked if she was black, she refused to lie, and she was barred from staying at the hotel with the rest of the company. Two members of the Ku Klux Klan bolted on stage, interrupting a performance in Montgomery, asking “Where’s the nigra?” When none of the Company members responded to them, the men left. As word of her racial identity became known, she was not allowed to participate in performances in southern cities partly to ensure her safety. In 1961, she left the Ballet Russe Company and was never hired by another American ballet company again. She joined a convent in Font de Lac, Wisconsin. She got a soloist contract with the Dutch National Ballet, where she stayed for seven years. In 1973, she returned to the US where, between 1974 and 1985, she performed with the New York City Opera as an extra dancer. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CoKVPgJrshO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Juditha triumphans (Vivaldi) - Dutch National Opera and Ballet, 28/fevereiro/2019

Obra de 1716 completa com legenda em português: vídeo; legenda. É o único oratório sobrevivente de Vivaldi.

Com sua aldeia sitiada, uma viúva ousada implora misericórdia ao general invasor. Pegando o militar com as calças na mão, ela usa toda a sua astúcia e carisma para tentar salvar seu povo.

A coragem triunfa neste oratório alegórico. Embora não tenha sido planejado para o teatro, as reviravoltas do enredo se prestam perfeitamente a uma produção encenada. O ilustre especialista em Barroco e Vivaldi, Andrea Marcon, rege seu próprio conjunto de música antiga, La Cetra Barockorchester Basel.

O diretor holandês Floris Visser queria incorporar a pintura de Caravaggio de Judith decapitando Holofernes, mas não sabia como. Foi então que ele pensou: "E se Holofernes for um general alemão da Wehrmacht que não apenas massacra pessoas, mas também rouba arte"?

"Esse oratório é um dos destaques do barroco. Até mesmo da história da música.", afirma o diretor Floris Visser.

"Talvez Vivaldi tenha composto Juditha em cinco dias. Acho que não mais do que uma semana. E esse frescor é como pão fresco. Quando o pão sai, ele ainda está quente e crocante.", diz o maestro Andrea Marcon.

A Vida e Obra de Antonio Vivaldi

Enredo: O rei assírio Nabucodonosor envia um exército contra Israel para exigir tributos atrasados. Sob a liderança do general Holofernes, os assírios sitiam a cidade de Betúlia e estão prestes a conquistá-la. A jovem viúva judia Juditha vai até ele para implorar misericórdia. Ele se apaixona por ela e ela o satisfaz. Depois de um rico banquete e de ter bebido muito vinho, Holofernes adormece. Juditha o decapita, foge do acampamento inimigo e volta vitoriosa para Betúlia.

Personagens principais: - Juditha, uma jovem viúva da cidade de Betúlia - Holofernes, general assírio - Vagaus, eunuco, escudeiro de Holofernes - Abra, serva de Juditha - Ozias, sumo sacerdote de Betúlia

Sinopse Parte I Holofernes, o general do rei assírio Nabucodonosor, prepara o exército para invadir a cidade de Betúlia. Holofernes tem certeza da vitória e inspira coragem em seus soldados. Vagaus, o escudeiro do general, anuncia a chegada de uma bela mulher de Betúlia. Ela quer falar com Holofernes pessoalmente, e ele concorda com o pedido da estranha. A mulher, Juditha, pede que ele poupe a cidade e seus habitantes. Holofernes fica encantado com sua aparência e sua voz e convida Juditha para um jantar particular. Após certa relutância no início, Juditha o acompanha até sua residência.

Parte II No jantar, Holofernes brinda à beleza de Juditha enquanto ela tenta mantê-lo afastado. Ele promete manter a paz em troca do amor dela. À medida que fica cada vez mais sob a influência do vinho, o general é dominado pelo sono. Juditha aproveita sua chance e decapita Holofernes com a própria espada dele. Ela e Abra, sua serva, colocam a cabeça em um saco e fogem do acampamento assírio. Ao retornarem a Betúlia, os cidadãos e o sumo sacerdote Ozias aclamam Juditha como uma heroína.

According to the statement, the project seeks to contrast the fortitude, determination, and beauty of Ukrainian dancers with the senseless violence, brutality, and destruction caused by the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.
