Coppélia

Allegro five short ballets

the vodafone season of A Christmas Carol

WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO INTRODUCE OUR 2014 SEASON TO YOU

The Royal New Zealand Ballet’s 2014 programme builds on all the great things achieved in 2013, an acclaimed Triple Bill and a smash hit Vodafone Season of Swan Lake, and also, at the time of launching, TOWER Tutus on Tour — we couldn’t have had a better year to celebrate the company’s 60th birthday.

Following the success of our 2013 China tour, we’re excited to be returning to the USA in January 2014, with performances in some of the country’s most prestigious dance venues. Returning home, our national tour of Coppélia brings one of ballet’s most enduring classics back to New Zealand stages, combining classical precision with comedy and a touch of magic.

Allegro, our winter season of five short ballets, shows off the RNZB’s versatility, from the thrilling exactitude of Balanchine, to the New York magic of Larry Keigwin (Final Dress, NYC), to a brand new work by New Zealand choreographer Daniel Belton, tailor made for the RNZB.

The year is rounded out with The Vodafone Season of A Christmas Carol, a dazzling retelling of Dickens’ classic Yuletide tale, perfect for family celebrations and festive treats.

To all our supporters, especially The Ministry for Culture and Heritage, Te Manatū Taonga, National Sponsor Vodafone, The Lion Foundation, Pub Charity and our many other sponsors, funders and personal supporters, thank you for being a part of the RNZB family in 2013.

We look forward to seeing you at the ballet in 2014.

COPPÉLIA COMBINES LAUGHTER, MYSTERY, ROMANCE AND THE FINEST CLASSICAL BALLET — FROM SPECTACULAR CHARACTER DANCES TO THE GRAND ROMANTIC PAS DE DEUX — IN A FUN-FILLED SPECTACLE

Jack-the-lad Franz is infatuated with the beautiful Coppélia without realising she is in fact a life-sized doll, created by the mysterious inventor Dr Coppélius.

His feisty fiancée Swanhilde is disgusted by his disloyalty, but when Franz’s life is in danger, she tricks the doctor by disguising herself as Coppélia (the doll) in order to save her love. Crisis averted, the couple marry and celebrate with their friends in the village square.

New Zealand dance legend Sir Jon Trimmer reprises the great character role of Dr Coppélius, a role he first performed for the Royal New Zealand Ballet in 1964.

THE ROYAL NEW ZEALAND BALLET PRESENTS ALLEGRO — A POWERHOUSE OF FIVE DYNAMIC BALLETS FROM LEADING INTERNATIONAL CHOREOGRAPHERS

ALLEGRO BRILLANTE

Precision, musicality, virtuoso technique — Russian classicism meets New York flair in a breathless display of classical ballet at its finest.

LES LUTINS (‘THE GOBLINS’)

Flirty and fun, two male dancers compete for the attention of a single female with increasingly daredevil moves — things are not what they seem following the addition of a violinist and pianist to the stage.

SATELLITES

This new piece, specially created for the RNZB, will include electronic music, animation and kinetic sculpture integrated with the dance.

Larry Keigwin’s Final Dress, created for the RNZB in 2012, caused a sensation. We are proud to introduce two more works by Larry Keigwin to New Zealand audiences as part of Allegro.

MATTRESS SUITE

Created in 2003, Mattress Suite is made up of six scenes about love affairs, either on or near a mattress.

MEGALOPOLIS

‘Mr Keigwin made dynamite choices in Megalopolis, a divinely well-structured encounter between formalism and club culture.’ — The New York Times, 2009

Larry Keigwin’s style fuses Broadway, club culture and the worlds of fashion and burlesque.

THE VODAFONE SEASON OF

a christmas carol

A DAZZLING RETELLING OF DICKENS’ CLASSIC YULETIDE TALE, PERFECT FOR FAMILY CELEBRATIONS AND FESTIVE TREATS

Ebenezer Scrooge lives up to his name until one Christmas Eve he is visited by four ghosts, one a remorseful ex-business partner, the others, the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future.

Following revelations of joy, warmth and life, Scrooge is also shown darkness, despair and sadness until finally his cold heart is restored to goodwill and happiness by the power of Christmas.

This acclaimed production, created for Northern Ballet — a company noted for its strength in storytelling and creating works as appealing to children as they are to adults (and which brought us Dracula) — and now seen for the first time outside the UK, is an adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol. The setting is picture-perfect Victorian and the staging is lively and vivid.

Music for the production was specially created by celebrated film and television composer Carl Davis and includes familiar Christmas carols.
