The World of John Neumeier 2023

The premiere of The World of John Neumeier dance festival in autumn 2022 was met by audiences with enthusiastic acclaim. With The Sleeping Beauty, a favorite of his repertoire, John Neumeier will be building on this success in 2023.

Overview

The World of John Neumeier.

Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty in Petipa's original choreography is considered the most important classical ballet of all time. But what does it mean, original choreography? Today there are only approximations, and so Neumeier has made the temporal distance between then and now into one of the principal themes. And so when Sleeping Beauty is kissed awake again after 100 years of sleep, not only do two people meet, but also two epochs at the same time. This rendezvous permitted the choreographer to use Petipa’s classical dance repertoire while at the same time placing the story in the present: a remote present, however, and, as so often in Neumeier’s work, showcased in fairy-tale visual worlds by Jürgen Rose.

History
Premiere of this production: 03 January 1890, Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg

The Sleeping Beauty is a ballet in a prologue and three acts, first performed in 1890. The music was composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (his opus 66). The score was completed in 1889, and is the second of his three ballets. The original scenario was conceived by Ivan Vsevolozhsky, and is based on Charles Perrault's La Belle au bois dormant. The choreographer of the original production was Marius Petipa.
