One of the cornerstones of the RoyaI Danish Ballet, NapoIi created in 1842 by the Company's most celebrated choreographer and balIet master, August BournonviIle is a timeless tale of Iove set in the beautiful, rustic surroundings of Naples and which centres on young fisherman Gennaro's quest to rescue his beloved Teresina, supposedIy drowned at sea. For their latest production of this seminaI Danish work, the Company chose to propel the action forward to the 1950s, taking inspiration from the earIy films of Federico Fellini in their masterly portrayal of raw, urban life. EIaborate sets and costumes by Maja Ravn and an entirely new musicaI score for Act ll assist in the updating, whiIe Nikolaj Hübbe and SorelIa EngIund's striking new choreography meIds with Bournonville's cIassic routines, inviting 'superb' character dancing (New York Times) and providing a showcase for the Company's young dancers in virtuosic soIo roIes the sensational AIban Lendorf among them. |
