A broadcasting of live production of ‘Jewels’ ballet from Royal Opera House be offered in Rialto theatre in Limassol.
George Balanchine’s evocation of the sparkle of emeralds, diamonds and rubies is a brilliant ballet classic. The French Romantic music comosed by Fauré gives the impetus for the subtlety and lyricism of ‘Emeralds’, while the fire of ‘Rubies’ comes from Stravinsky and the jazz-age energy of New York.
Grandeur and elegance complete the ballet with the splendour of Imperial Russia and the genius music of Tchaikovsky in ‘Diamonds’.
Jewels is a great example of a classical ballet and indeed of The Royal Ballet itself: the eminent choreography of Balanchine, the artistry of the soloists and the precision of the entire ballet makes it an aoutstanding performance.
