        Quilates de Balanchine

        Publication El Diario Vasco
        Date June 16, 2010
        Author Iratxe de Arantzibia

        Brillante retorno del Boston Ballet, dirigido por Mikko Nissinen, al Auditorio del Kursaal, tras su éxito en 2007. La cuarta compañía en antigüedad de Estados Unidos bordó un programa dedicado a la figura del coreógrafo George Balanchine (1904-1983). Tres diferentes piezas componían el espectáculo titulado 'Ultimate Balanchine'. Comenzó la noche con 'Ballo della Regina' (1978), una pieza poco exhibida en los circuitos europeos. Sobre la música original de la ópera 'Don Carlos' de Verdi, el coreógrafo ruso construyó una obra tan límpida como la perla perfecta que busca el pescador. Buena muestra de virtuosismo técnico, de rigurosa ejecución, por la rapidez de sus pasos, y ciertos momentos de belleza estática. Sin duda, un magnífico inicio de la velada balletística.

        Las antiguas creencias que clasificaban a los seres humanos en función de sus humores son la base de 'The four temperaments' (1946), ballet en el que los bailarines se dividen entre quienes bailan de manera melancólica, sanguínea, flemática o colérica. Traspiés aparte, obra maestra, en la que, gracias a la interpretación, estaban bien perfilados los cuatro temperamentos.

        Cerró el espectáculo 'Rubíes' (1967), extracto del espectáculo 'Joyas', inspirado en el diseñador de joyas Claude Arpels. Se trata de un ballet de menor contenido neoclásico que sus precedentes y con ese aderezo adicional que da el jazz, creando una pieza vibrante e ingeniosa, muy vitoreada, al igual que el resto del espectáculo, que se saldó con varios minutos de ovación, bravos y calurosos aplausos.

        Balanchine creó un estilo singular para la danza americana, en la que exigía una impecable técnica, una rapidez sin precedentes y una acusada musicalidad. Por eso, ver bailar a una compañía estadounidense una obra de este coreógrafo, gran arquitecto de la danza neoclásica, es todo un lujo.

        El Boston Ballet le da un toque especial, que hace que su interpretación sea simplemente sublime. 'Ultimate Balanchine' es un bello programa, tan lleno de hermosura, como de quilates de danza, donde la joya que más brilló fue el propio Boston Ballet, con su exquisita interpretación. Esta noche, nueva oportunidad de disfrutar con la compañía estadounidense y el programa 'Made in Boston', de corte más contemporáneo.

        The brilliant return of Boston Ballet, led by Mikko Nissinen, is at the Kursaal Auditorium, following its success in 2007. The fourth oldest company in the United States created a program dedicated to the work of choreographer George Balanchine (1904-1983). Three different pieces composed the show titled 'Ultimate Balanchine’. The night began with "Ballo Della Regina" (1978), a piece seldom exhibited in the European circuits. With the original music from the opera "Don Carlos" by Verdi, the Russian choreographer constructed a work as pure as the perfect pearl that the fisherman searches for. The dancing was a good example of the technical virtuosity and the rigor required by the speed of his steps, with moments of beauty. No doubt - a great start to the evening of ballet.

        The old belief that human beings are classified according to their moods is the foundation of 'The Four Temperaments' (1946), a ballet in which dancers are divided between those who dance in melancholic, sanguine, phlegmatic and choleric. Each was its own masterpiece that, through interpretation, well outlined the four temperaments.

        The show closed with 'Rubies' (1967), from 'Jewels', inspired by jewelry designer Claude Arpels. It is a jazzy, neoclassical ballet, a vibrant and witty piece, very adored, like the rest of the show, which ended with several minutes of applause, bravos and applause.

        Balanchine created a unique style for American dance, which requires a highly technical, unprecedented speed and sharp musicality. To see a U.S. company dance a work of this choreographer, and dance the great neoclassical choreography, is a luxury.

        Boston Ballet gives a special touch that makes the experience simply sublime. 'Ultimate Balanchine' is a program full of beauty, like precious gems of dance, where the jewel that shone brightest was actually Boston Ballet, with its exquisite interpretation. Tonight, another opportunity to enjoy with the U.S. company and the program "Made in Boston' with contemporary choreography.
