Description
Wikipedia.- El cascanueces (en ruso: Щелкунчик, Schelkúnchik) Op. 71 es un cuento de hadas-ballet en dos actos y tres escenas de Piotr Ilich Chaikovski (1840--1893), compuesto en 1891--1892. Chaikovski puso música a la adaptación de Alejandro Dumas (padre) del cuento El cascanueces y el rey de los ratones, de Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (puesta en escena por Marius Petipa y encargado por el director de los Teatros Imperiales Iván Vsevolozhski en 1891). En los países occidentales El cascanueces se ha convertido quizá en el más popular de todos los ballets, principalmente representado en Navidad. Tchaikovski hizo una selección de ocho de los números del ballet antes de su estreno en diciembre de 1892, formando La suite de El cascanueces Op. 71a, concebida para tocar en concierto. La suite se tocó bajo la dirección del compositor, el 19 de marzo de 1892, con ocasión de una reunión de la sucursal de San Petersburgo de la Sociedad Musical.1 La suite se volvió popular desde entonces, aunque el ballet completo no logró su gran popularidad hasta los años 1960. Entre otras cosas, la música de El cascanueces se conoce por su uso de la celesta, un instrumento que el compositor ya había empleado en su balada sinfónica mucho menos conocida, El Voivoda (estrenada en 1891). Aunque se conoce como el instrumento solista presentado en el acto II de la Danza del Hada de Azúcar, la celesta se emplea en otras partes del mismo acto. Review/Ballet; Nureyev's 'Swan Lake' From Paris By ANNA KISSELGOFF Published: June 27, 1988 Sign In to E-Mail Print At the age of 50, he cannot do the easy steps but, perversely, carries off the difficult ones. What he does do at every moment is stay in character, plunging deeply into a wounded soul. It may not be a definitive performance by anyone's standards - especially his own - but one thing it never can be is dull. Rudolf Nureyev as Siegfried, the hapless prince and antihero of ''Swan Lake,'' returned to the Metropolitan Opera House Saturday night for the first time in the Paris Opera Ballet's current season. Seen locally also for the first time with Sylvie Guillem's bewitching Odette-Odile, he offered, as usual, a performance that made a 19th-century classic come alive to a modern audience. At the curtain calls, his fans in the packed house threw clusters of roses, one of which he caught with his pitching arm. To suggest that this was Mr. Nureyev's farewell as Siegfried is to know little about him. He has announced that he intends to die onstage and there were those on Saturday who suggested the moment was at hand.
