Description
Collection of four works performed by The Royal Ballet and the Royal Opera House Orchestra, recorded in October 2015. Liam Scarlett choreographs Liebermann's 'Viscera', conducted by Emmanuel Plasson and starring Laura Morera. Plasson conducts the orchestra for Debussy's 'Afternoon of a Faun' in which the dancers, including Sarah Lamb and Vadim Muntagirov, perform Jerome Robbins' choreography. Choreographer George Balanchine's 'Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux' is also conducted by Plasson, with the cast featuring Iana Salenko and Steven McRae. Finally, Bizet's 'Carmen', arranged, orchestrated and conducted by Martin Yates and choreographed by Carlos Acosta, stars Marianela Nuñez in the title role.
Carlos Acosta focuses on the dramatic essentials of love, jealousy and revenge in his new production of Carmen. As well as
choreographing the production, Acosta dances a lead role.
Liam Scarlett has used Lowell Liebermann’s thrilling Piano Concerto No.1 as the inspiration for his similarly audacious choreography in Viscera.
Debussy’s evocative score is the inspiration for Jerome Robbins’s Afternoon of a Faun, which depicts two ballet dancers as absorbed
by their own reflections as they are attracted to each other.
George Balanchine’s Tchaikovsky pas de deux uses a fragment of music composed for the 1877 production of Swan Lake for an eight
minute display of ballet bravura and technique.
