The Bolshoi Ballet THE GOLDEN AGE - Ogon Jidai (Japanese Title)

[Machine Translation] Composed in 1930, Shostakovich's early ballet "The Golden Age" was based on "Dinamiada" (written by the film director Ivanovsky), which won a ballet script competition sponsored by the Soviet National Theater. Based on "Dinamiada" (written by film director Ivanovsky), which won a prize in a ballet script competition sponsored by the USSR National Theater, the work was immediately performed, but it caused a fierce political controversy and disappeared from the theater repertoire after only 18 performances. The work was noticed by Yuri Grigorovich, a famous Russian choreographer who has revived many works, and for the 1982 revival at the Bolshoi Theatre, he added a new storyline to the Golden Age, transforming the original story of intrigue and friendship in a soccer club into a story about a group of young men and a restaurant in southern Russia called "The Golden Age". The original story of a soccer club conspiracy and friendship is replaced by a battle between youths and gangsters at a restaurant in the "Golden Age" in South Russia.

1930年に作曲されたショスタコーヴィチの初期のバレエ作品《黄金時代》。ソ連国立劇場が主催したバレエの台本コンクールで入賞した「ディナミアーダ」(映画監督イヴァノフスキー作)に基づくこの作品は、すぐさま上演されたものの、激しい政治論争を巻き起こし、18回上演されたのみで劇場のレパートリーから消えてしまいました。この作品に目をつけたのが多くの作品の復活蘇演に力を注いだロシアの名振付師ユーリ・グリゴローヴィチ。1982年のボリショイ劇場での再演にあたり、この《黄金時代》にも新しいストーリーを盛り込み、もともとのサッカークラブでの陰謀、友情物語を、南ロシアのレストラン「黄金時代」で起こる青年団と暴力団の争いへと置き換えることで、ショスタコーヴィチの音楽の魅力を失うことなく、グリゴローヴィチ独自の舞台へと昇華させています。
