Bolshoi Ballet 

07/07/10 - The Bolshoi is back

The Bolshoi Ballet is back in the UK, bringing its dazzling young virtuosos and a clutch of ballets that mine the company's rich Soviet and pre-Soviet past. Zoë Anderson looks forward to a season of delights

 
The Bolshoi Ballet, Royal Opera House, London, 19 July to 8 August
 
The Bolshoi is back. The Moscow company is one of the biggest names in ballet: its name even means "big", covering both the company's vast home theatre and the huge, heroic dancing for which it is famous.
 
This summer, the Bolshoi return to London for the first time since 2007. Anticipation is high, for the new productions and for a fresh sight of one of the world's leading companies.
 
The last visit showed the Bolshoi in exuberant, confident form. Will this new season show the same gusto, the same dash and authority?
Three years can be a long time in ballet. The young dancers who were making a name for themselves are now established stars. One of the brightest is Ivan Vasiliev, who kicks off the season by dancing Spartacus.
 
In 2007, he made an astonishing impression as a teenager. Now 21, he's still very young for the role of Spartacus, which demands great strength. He could also be a rejuvenating force for Yuri Grigorovich's war-horse of a ballet, a Soviet blockbuster that has looked tired in recent years.
 
It's an eye-catching tactic, presenting the boy wonder in a ballet that represents old Bolshoi history. Here, in one night, is what the company used to be, and where it's going. But dancing around the past has become characteristic of the new Bolshoi. This is a company finding a new sense of itself, and of its history.
 

Soviet-era ballet was a powerhouse. The Communist state made this a flagship art form, pouring in money, support and prestige. Ballet was chosen because of existing Russian expertise: theatres that had produced cornerstones of the ballet repertory, strong schooling. In the Czarist era, the Mariinsky theatre of St Petersburg had ruled the roost. Under Communism, the Moscow company found special favour: less Europeanised, more of the people.

Placido Domingo 

30/06/10 - Placido’s warm baritone has the tenor of his thrilling past in Simon Boccanegra

 

By Barry Millington, Evening Standard  30.06.10 
In a gambit that threatens to disqualify him from Three Tenors status, Placido Domingo has joined the ranks of the baritones. Domingo announced what must surely be his final career move — his 69th birthday fell in January — to an astonished world last year: he was to essay the major role of Simon Boccanegra, the compromised Doge of Genoa in Verdi’s opera of that name.
 
He duly appeared in the role in Berlin, New York and Milan, and last night saw his keenly awaited baritone debut at Covent Garden. In a sense Domingo is coming full circle: it was as a baritone that he auditioned at the National Opera in Mexico City at 18. And indeed his tenor has always had a baritonal quality: one that makes him better suited for the brooding Siegmund in Wagner’s Die Walküre, for example, than for the overtly virile athleticism of Siegfried.
 
Now that is turned on its head and we have, in his Boccanegra, a baritone with a distinctly tenorial timbre. He can certainly reach all the notes of the role effortlessly and as he drops into the lower register he exudes the character’s humane, grizzled authority — this is a popular leader with a chequered past.
 
But then as he rises above the stave, the thrill familiar from his heroic tenor roles is there: now he’s in his comfort zone and it’s a place where he can be depended upon to deliver the goods. In all honesty it wasn’t the greatest Boccanegra ever, but he earned a standing ovation nevertheless. The tenor role of Gabriele Adorno, which Domingo would normally have sung, is taken by Joseph Calleja. There is a trace of a beat in his voice, but his ringing high notes also won the hearts of the audience.
 
The sepulchral bass of Ferruccio Furlanetto as Fiesco and the baleful baritone of Jonathan Summers as Paolo throw Domingo’s crossover register into relief. Marina Poplavskaya once again shows her huge potential as a Verdian soprano with her heart-warming Amelia.
 
Antonio Pappano’s conducting is tautly controlled but shot through with flashes of theatrical brilliance. Elijah Moshinsky returned to brush up his straightforward 1991 production, now revived for the fifth time.
