With a new biography and a production of “Les Noces,” the time has come to reconsider the choreographer, whose work and reputation have languished in the shadows.
The ballet Sleeping Beauty was first performed in Russia in 1890. With music by Tchaikovsky and choreography by Marius Petipa, the Sleeping Beauty has become one of the world’s most famous ballets. It is also Tchaikovsky’s longest ballet at nearly three hours in length. Sergei Diaghilev produced a shorter, 45- minute version in 1922 for his Ballets Russes which he called Le Mariage d’Aurore (Aurora’s Wedding). This abridged version was largely confined to the final part of Sleeping Beauty, the marriage feast of Aurora and her prince, and it premiered at the Paris Opera on May 18, 1922. Tchaikovsky’s score was partly re-orchestrated by Stravinsky and Marius Petipa’s choreography was re-arranged and supplemented with additional dances by Bronislava Nijinska. A year earlier, Diaghilev had produced a lavish version of Sleeping Beauty he called “The Sleeping Princess” which was a financial failure. “With little money to create entirely new works, but with a loyal cohort of experienced dancers looking to him for employment, he decided to stage the final act of The Sleeping Princess as Le Mariage d’Aurore using the music score that he had retained. He decided to re-use a mélange of costumes from his stock, including a number of key eighteenth-century style outfits from his 1909 production of Le Pavillon d’Armide. Premiered with the new work, Le Renard (The fox), developed by Stravinsky and designed by Larionov, Le Mariage d’Aurore proved to be a popular, if artistically compromised, production that would remain in the repertoire of Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes successors during the 1930s.” [National Gallery of Australia] “The Walt Disney Company currently has a trademark application pending with the US Patent and Trademark Office, filed March 13, 2007, for the name "Princess Aurora" that would cover all live and recorded movie, television, radio, stage, computer, Internet, news, and photographic entertainment uses, except literature works of fiction and nonfiction. This has caused controversy because "Princess Aurora" is also the name of the lead character in Tchaikovsky's ballet version of the story, from which Disney acquired some of the music for its animated 1959 film Sleeping Beauty.” [Wikipedia] La Scala’s excellent production of the ballet Sleeping Beauty is on Youtube in high definition: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDHT3XV1v7U
