Description

[Machine Translation] This is a box set of three representative works by the famous British choreographer Kenneth Macmillan ( 1929-1992 ). All of his works are known for their sensuality and bold settings, and the three works included in this boxed set carefully depict the essence of human nature as it sways between love and anguish. Manon": Based on "Manon Lescaut" written by Abbe Prevot, choreographer Kenneth MacMillan completed the ballet "Manon". The ballet attracted attention for its use of Massenet's music, but not the music from the opera of the same name. In addition to the extravagant equipment and costumes, the main actors Rojo and Acosta's brilliant dancing is a highlight of the ballet. UTATAKATA NO KOI: In January 1889, the then Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Rudolf and his mistress, the 17-year-old Baroness Marie Wetzela, died mysteriously at the Meyerlinck mansion. The truth of this incident, known as "Uta kata no koi," is still unknown to this day. MacMillan's ballet, with music by Liszt throughout, clearly depicts Rudolph's loveless family life and political anguish. This is a rare ballet with a male lead. Romeo and Juliet": Based on Shakespeare's famous play, Kenneth MacMillan presents a unique perspective in this masterpiece ballet. The music by Prokofiev is used throughout the ballet to tell the story of the young lovers' unforgivable love. The sigh-inducingly beautiful pas de deux by Cuthbertson and Bonelli are highlights of this production.

Description in Japanese

ケネス・マクミラン振付 バレエBOX / バレエ

イギリスの名振付師、ケネス・マクミラン (1929-1992)の代表的な3作をBOX化。彼の作品はどれも官能的であり、大胆な設定が施されていることで知られ、このBOXに収録された3作も、愛と苦悩に揺れる人間の本質が丁寧に描き出されている。■「マノン」: アベ・プレヴォが書いた「マノン・レスコー」を元に、振付師ケネス・マクミランが完成させたバレエ「マノン」。マスネの音楽を用いながらも、同名のオペラからの曲は使っていないというところも注目を集めました。贅沢な装置と衣装に加え、主役のロホ、アコスタの華麗な踊りが見どころ。 ■「うたかたの恋」: 1889年1月、当時のオーストリア/ハンガリー帝国皇太子ルドルフと彼の愛人であった17歳のマリー・ヴェッツェラ男爵令嬢がマイヤーリンクの館で謎の死を遂げた。「うたかたの恋」とされるこの事件は、現在でも真相はわかっていない。マクミランのバレエは、全編にリストの音楽を用い、ルドルフの愛なき家庭生活と政治的苦悩を克明に描き出している。男性が主役の珍しいバレエ。 ■「ロミオとジュリエット」: シェイクスピアの有名な戯曲を元に、ケネス・マクミランが独自の視点で描き出した名作バレエ。プロコフィエフの音楽を全編に用い、若き恋人たちの"許されぬ愛"を綴る。カスバートソン、ボネッリのため息が出るほどに美しいパ・ド・トゥが見どころ。
