Part II
The Ballet “Rite of Spring”
Music: Igor Stravinsky
Choreographer: Phạm Minh
Perform: Meritorious Artist Phan Văn Lương, Việt An & dancers of Vietnam National Opera and Ballet
The Ballet “Rite of Spring” choreographed by artist Pham Minh, performed by Viet An, Han Giang and other the dancers from Vietnam National Opera and Ballet. Stravinsky’s music in “Rite of Spring” is presented by his exciting adventure and unique creativity. The use of dissonant sounds brought new colors and new energy for this piece of music. Choreographer Pham Minh has modified the work to suit the body shape , the rhythm and the Vietnamese customs. Therefore, the physical movements as well as the story behind this piece is characterized in a more Vietnamese style. That helps the viewers to have a closer connection to many ethinc groups and traditions of the ancient Vietnam. A mysterious tale combined with Igor Stravinsky’s beautiful music compositions form a fascinating ballet dance. Performed on the stage of the Opera House Theatre by dancers of Vietnam National Opera and Ballet , “Rite of Spring” is a wonderful spriritual gift we want to give to all the audience who appreciates the art of ballet.
A Night of Concert and Ballet “Changing Seasons” will be performed on 14 and 15 Apr 2017, 8 pm at Hanoi Opera House, 1 Trang Tien, Hanoi.
