From the Artistic Director Welcome and thank you for joining us! Long before I began dancing, my parents took me to see the great Dame Margot Fonteyn and Rudolph Nureyev dance Swan Lake at the San Francisco War Memorial Opera House. I must have been about five or six years old and The Royal Ballet of London was on tour to San Francisco. It was a big deal with a trip across the bridge to the city, and a full performance in a huge theater. I had to take a nap in the afternoon (back then I hated that) so I could be wide awake for the show. I was already familiar with the music, we had the LP and I often listened to it in the living room. Tchaikovsky’s supreme score, at times grand, at times powerful and dramatic, and at times so heartbreaking it could make one weep, fascinated me. As I watched that performance of Swan Lake with its great drama and dynamic storytelling, I knew I would some day become a dancer and I knew that one day this ballet would play a major part in my career. Moscow’s Bolshoi Ballet originally premiered Swan Lake in 1877. St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Ballet then revised it in 1895. Today, it has been recreated and re-envisioned countless times. Our founder, Willam Christensen created the first fulllength American production of Swan Lake in 1940 when he was the Artistic Director of San Francisco Ballet. His brother Lew performed the role of the prince. “Mr. C’s” version of Swan Lake pre-dates his world famous version of The Nutcracker. In fact, all of Ballet West’s Artistic Directors have presented their own versions of Swan Lake that have been both faithful to the 1895 concept by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov–and unique unto themselves. Swan Lake became the first full-length ballet I personally conceived and produced as Artistic Director of Ballet West and I am as in love with it now as I was when we first premiered this version nine years ago. To produce it the first time, I studied tirelessly, reading and watching everything I could about the ballet. What I found at the end of that exploration was ultimately its simplicity and humanity of the characters in this melodramatic fairy tale. This simplicity became my key to Swan Lake’s heart; the key to its timeless appeal; and ultimately the key to all the renowned classics that I have reproduced. Working closely with my choreographic team and collaborators, Ballet West Principal Ballet Master Pamela Robinson Harris and the late Mark Goldweber, Ballet West’s former Ballet Master, we realized that what bridged the gap between simple re-creation and bringing out its profound meaning was to embrace the exaggerated reality of the ballet and present it with absolute honesty. This may seem like an obvious approach but when you consider it–in the case of Swan Lake–that is asking a lot. It requires our lead ballerina

to embody both the plight of the human and the curse of the supernatural; our lead man to recognize that he does not want to marry a real woman, but instead commit his love and his life to a half woman/half swan creature; and that a cast of more than 50 dancers is charged with evoking all aspects of this world. One starts to realize the magnitude of this endeavor. But that is exactly what our artists do. Swan Lake has come alive through the work of our dancers, our entire artistic, costume, and production teams, and by the exquisite playing of our Ballet West Orchestra under the baton of our Music Director Jared Oaks. What you will see on stage is the deep humanity behind the melodrama, the yearning for an illusion that leads to a higher truth, and how love is the only triumph of good over evil. Swan Lake is a fantasy. However, it is also a very real tale that portrays the dilemma between accepting one’s fate and pushing for something different, the understanding of consequence, and ultimately the divinity that comes from doing the right thing. Thank you for your patronage. I hope you will immerse yourself in our fairy tale of Swan Lake!

Adam Sklute Artistic Director Since 2007, Adam Sklute has expanded Ballet West’s outlook, repertoire, and visibility with exciting Company and world premieres, increased touring, heightened public exposure, and greater focus on the Ballet West Academy. He began his career with The Joffrey Ballet, rising through the ranks from dancer to Associate Director. His stewardship of Ballet West has been marked by both financial growth and elevated artistry, and was the subject of The CW Network’s docu-drama, Breaking Pointe, which aired for two seasons. From September 2016 to October 2017, Sklute took on the dual position of CEO and Artistic Director overseeing both administrative and artistic operations of Ballet West. An internationally sought after teacher and adjudicator, Sklute has received numerous awards, including Utah’s Enlightened 50 (2014), The Bronze Minuteman Award for Outstanding Service to Utah and The Nation (2015), and most recently Utah Diversity Connection’s Business Award for outstanding commitment to diversity initiatives.

From the Executive Director Welcome to Swan Lake! From Tchaikovsky’s soaring and serene score, to the synchronized and athletic choreography, this ballet is an iconic piece of art. An aspect that makes Ballet West’s production stand above many others are the costumes, built by the Director of Costume Production, David Heuvel. Ballet West’s costumes are well known for their beauty and are often rented to other companies; in fact, Taylor Swift rented the costumes you’ll see tonight for her 2014 music video, “Shake It Off.” Last month, David rightfully received Governor Gary Herbert’s prestigious Artist Award for Visual Arts. For five decades, David has worked behind the scenes to make Ballet West shine, and as much as he resists it, it was time for him to be in the spotlight. Congratulations, David. We are honored to have you with us. Recently, we were stunned and saddened to learn that Peter Meldrum had passed, it rattled all of us. With his family, we mourn his loss. Peter helped hire Artistic Director Adam Sklute, he funded the beginning of our Choreographic Festival ten years ago, and personally mentored and sponsored new dancers. Recently, at the end of a workweek, Peter stopped by and we watched a rehearsal in the studio for about 10 minutes. Afterward, he said, “Thank you, that was so nourishing. A perfect end to a Friday.” In that moment, I could feel his love, devotion, and admiration for his Ballet West. My heart goes out to the Meldrum family, we mourn with you during your time of loss. Thank you for being a part of the Ballet West Family. I wish you all a very safe and happy New Year. Sincerely,

Michael Scolamiero Executive Director

Michael Scolamiero joined Ballet West in 2017 after an extensive international search led by Michael Kaiser, President Emeritus of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Mr. Scolamiero previously served as Executive Director of Miami City Ballet for three years, during which time the organization achieved a significant reduction in debt, as well as robust growth in ticket revenue, contributions, and touring income. Prior to Miami City Ballet, Mr. Scolamiero was Pennsylvania Ballet’s Executive Director for 17 years, the longest tenure in the Company’s history and among the longest of any leader of a major ballet company. During his tenure, Mr. Scolamiero led the organization’s first capital campaign that raised $11.9 million (against a $10 million goal) to build an endowment and fund repertoire expansion. At Ballet West, Mr. Scolamiero is set to implement a newly completed strategic plan and excited to guide a growing and robust Company.

About Ballet West From Balanchine to Bournonville, and Petipa to Tharp, Ballet West boasts a rich and varied repertoire, elegant and versatile artists, and an American style and legacy that is as dynamic, expansive, and unexpected as the Rocky Mountain region it represents. Ballet West has toured the world several times over, presenting the very best in American classical ballet. Ballet West was established in Salt Lake City in 1963. Willam F. Christensen was the company’s first artistic director, co-founding the company together with Utah’s “First Lady of the Arts,” Glenn Walker Wallace. In 1951, Christensen had established the first ballet department in an American university at The University of Utah, and with the tireless assistance of Mrs. Enid Cosgriff, this program grew into the Utah Civic Ballet, Ballet West’s first incarnation. But this was not the first ballet company Willam Christensen founded. Along with his brothers, Lew and Harold, Christensen made history by establishing the oldest ballet company in the western United States, the San Francisco Ballet. There, he went on to create the first full-length American productions of Coppélia, Swan Lake, and his evergreen production of The Nutcracker, which remains in Ballet West’s repertoire to this day. With 42 company members, 14 second company members, and a thriving academy that trains dancers of all ages, many of whom have gone on to professional careers with Ballet West and companies around the world, Ballet West ranks among the top professional ballet companies in America. Since its inception, the Company has had five artistic directors – its founder Willam Christensen, Bruce Marks, John Hart, Jonas Kage, and currently Adam Sklute, each of whom has helped to build Ballet West’s unique and expansive profile. For more than 50 years, Willam Christensen and Ballet West have developed and influenced innumerable great artists in the ballet world. Some notable figures include Bart Cook, Finis Jhung, Jay Jolley, Victoria Morgan, Tomm Ruud, Michael Smuin, Richard Tanner, and Kent Stowell. With an eclectic and ever expanding outlook, Ballet West is truly an American pioneer in the world of dance.

Synopsis Prologue The time is years before our story begins and the place is unknown. Young Princess Odette is playing quietly with her handmaidens and friends when a strange creature – half man, half bird of prey – appears at her window. He envelops her in his wings and transforms her into a swan. Act I – The royal grounds in front of the castle It is Prince Siegfried’s 21st birthday. His best friends, Benno von Summerstein and Wolfgang, the Major Domo of the court, have organized a party. All the courtiers, young and old, have come together to celebrate. The Prince only half-heartedly partakes in the festivities. His mother, the Queen, arrives to wish him happy birthday. She presents him with a signet of her late husband the King, and gives him the gift of a crossbow. The Queen reminds Siegfried that eligible princesses from around the world will be attending his birthday ball and that he will be required to choose a bride to ensure his future as monarch. This makes Prince Siegfried uneasy. Siegfried is a romantic who does not want any part of a political marriage nor does he welcome the responsibilities of the throne. As dusk falls, Wolfgang tells the story of an evil sorcerer who lives in the ruins by a lake. Filled with hate because he has never been loved, this evil bird creature abducts young women, transforms them into swans, and holds them in his power. Only the true love of a human man can break the spell and free the women. At that moment, a flock of swans flies overhead. Prince Siegfried gathers Benno and some friends and goes off in search of them. Act III – The lake It is late and the moon is high when Siegfried and his friends arrive at the lake where the swans have alighted. The men take no notice of a strange owl who stares at them malevolently from his perch in the ruins above the lake. The owl is in fact the sorcerer, Baron von Rothbart, who is jealously guarding his domain. Prince Siegfried aims his crossbow at the flock. Suddenly one swan flies forward. He is fascinated and attempts to capture it. As the swan frantically tries to escape his grasp, she undergoes a startling transformation and, before his eyes, turns into the most beautiful woman Siegfried has ever seen. She tells him that her name is Princess Odette and, because of the spell cast on her years ago, she must remain a swan by day only to become human by the light of the moon. She implores Siegfried and his men to spare these swans, as they too are enchanted young women, and she is their queen. As the men retreat, Odette disappears in to the mists and Siegfried goes off in search of her. Confident with the success of his manipulation, the sorcerer swoops down from his perch and bids the swan maidens to dance for him. 38


Synopsis Siegfried finds the beautiful Swan Queen, and just as he is about to swear his everlasting love, the very words that will free her, the sorcerer pulls Odette away with his magic. As the dawn rises, Odette reverts to her bird form, forgetting Siegfried and leaving him in the mist. Act III – The great hall of the castle Royalty from around the world gather to celebrate Prince Siegfried’s birthday. The Queen is confident that her son will choose a bride, but as each princess is introduced, Siegfried is polite but uninterested. His thoughts are solely on Odette. Two strange guests appear unannounced. They are the mysterious Baron von Rothbartand his beautiful daughter, Odile. Odile looks identical to the Swan Queen, Odette, except that she is dressed in black and her manner is wickedly seductive. Believing that Odile is his beloved Odette, Siegfried takes her by the hand and leads her off. The Queen, equally enchanted by this exotic pair, instructs Wolfgang to commence the entertainment. The Matadors from Spain, the Neapolitan dancers from Italy, and the elegant lords and ladies from Hungary all perform until von Rothbartinterrupts the action and introduces his daughter Odile once again. In front of everyone, she captures the heart of Prince Siegfried. Thinking Odile is Odette, Siegfried tells his mother he will marry Odile, and swears eternal love to her. As a swan, Odette frantically beats her wings at the window, trying desperately to stop the false pledge. Von Rothbartreveals his ruse and disappears with Odile, confident that he has won and maintains evil control over his swan maidens. Too late, Siegfried realizes his mistake, and flees the palace determined to make amends. Act IV – The lake The swans anxiously await the return of their queen, Odette, hopeful that she has saved them through the love of Prince Siegfried. When she arrives, she tells them of Siegfried’s betrayal. Now all is lost. Prince Siegfried rushes out of the mists. He has been running all night. The swans gather around their queen to protect her, but she steps forward. Despite it all, she still loves him. Siegfried begs forgiveness and she grants it. In a fury, von Rothbartswoops down to separate the pair. Odette sees that her only escape is to take her own life. She runs off while Siegfried and the sorcerer battle. Taunted by von Rothbart, Siegfried realizes that he too must take his life. It is the only way to prove his true love and save the swan maidens. He runs after Odette while the swan maidens heroically block von Rothbart. The lovers hurl themselves onto the rocks below, thus breaking the spell. The sorcerer’s wings break and he melts into nothingness. As the sun dawns on a new day, young maidens appear out of the mists, freed forever from the sorcerer’s evil magic. Odette and Siegfried are united eternally in heaven. swan lake | 18/19 season

Sinopsis Prólogo La escena comienza años antes de nuestra historia en un lugar desconocido. La joven princesa Odette juega tranquilamente con sus doncellas y amigos cuando una extraña criatura, mitad hombrey mitad ave de presa, aparece en su ventana. La criatura la envuelve en sus alas y la transforma en un cisne. Acto I. Los Terrenos Reales Frente al Castillo. Es el cumpleaños número 21 del príncipe Siegfried. Sus mejores amigos, Benno von Summerstein y Wolfgang, el mayordomo de la corte, han organizado una fiesta. Todos los cortesanos, jóvenes y viejos, se han reunido para celebrar. El Príncipe solo participa a medias en las festividades. Su madre, la Reina, llega para desearle feliz cumpleaños. Ella le presenta un sello de su difunto esposo el Rey, y le regala una ballesta. La Reina le recuerda a Siegfried que las princesas elegibles de todo el mundo asistirán a su fiesta de cumpleaños y que se le pedirá que elija una novia para asegurar su futuro como monarca. Esto hace que el príncipe Siegfried se sienta incómodo. Siegfried es un romántico que no quiere formar parte de un matrimonio político ni acepta las responsabilidades del trono. Cuando cae la noche, Wolfgang cuenta la historia de un hechicero malvado que vive en las ruinas junto a un lago. Lleno de odio porque nunca ha sido amado, esta malvada criatura rapta a mujeres jóvenes, las transforma en cisnes y las mantiene en su poder. Sólo el verdadero amor de un hombre humano puede romper el hechizo y liberar a las mujeres. En ese momento, una bandada de cisnes vuela por encima. El príncipe Siegfried reúne a Benno y algunos amigos y se va en busca de ellos. Acto II. El Lago Es tarde y la luna está en la cima del cielo cuando Siegfried y sus amigos llegan al lago donde los cisnes han bajado. Los hombres no se fijan en un extraño búho que los mira malévolamente desde las ruinas sobre el lago. El búho es el hechicero, barón von Rothbart, que cuida celosamente su dominio. El príncipe Siegfried apunta su ballesta hacia la bandada. De repente un cisne vuela hacia adelante. El Príncipe está fascinado e intenta capturarlo. Mientras el cisne intenta frenéticamente escapar de su alcance, ella sufre una transformación sorprendente y, ante sus ojos, se convierte en la mujer más hermosa que Siegfried haya visto. Ella le dice que su nombre es Princesa Odette y, debido al hechizo de hace años, ella debe permanecer como un cisne durante el día solo para volverse humana a la luz de la luna. Ella implora a Siegfried y sus hombres que no lastimen a estos cisnes, ya que también son mujeres encantadas, y ella es su reina. Cuando los hombres se retiran, Odette desaparece en la niebla y Siegfried se va en busca de ella. Confiado en el éxito de su manipulación, el hechicero se baja de su percha y le pide a las doncellas que bailen para él. Siegfried encuentra a la hermosa Reina Cisne, y justo cuando está a punto de jurar su amor 40


Sinopsis eterno, las mismas palabras que la liberarán, el hechicero se lleva a Odette con su magia. Cuando comienza a amanecer, Odette vuelve a su forma de ave, olvidando a Siegfried y dejándolo en la niebla. Acto III. El Gran Salón del Castillo. La realeza de todo el mundo se reúne para celebrar el cumpleaños del príncipe Siegfried. La Reina confía en que su hijo elegirá una novia, pero a medida que se presenta a cada princesa, Siegfried es cortés pero desinteresado. Sus pensamientos están únicamente en Odette. Dos desconocidos invitados aparecen sin previo aviso. Ellos son el misterioso barón von Rothbarty su hermosa hija, Odile. Odile se ve idéntica a la Reina del Cisne, Odette, excepto que está vestida de negro y su actitud es perversamente seductora. Creyendo que Odile es su amada Odette, Siegfried la toma de la mano y la aleja. La reina, igualmente encantada por esta pareja exótica, le da instrucciones a Wolfgang para que comience el entretenimiento. Los matadores de España, los bailarines napolitanos de Italia y las elegantes señoras y señores de Hungría actúan hasta que von Rothbartinterrumpe la acción y presenta a su hija Odile una vez más. En frente de todos, ella captura el corazón del Príncipe Siegfried. Pensando que Odile es Odette, Siegfried le dice a su madre que se casará con Odile y le jura amor eterno. Como cisne, Odette golpea frenéticamente sus alas en la ventana, tratando desesperadamente de detener la promesa falsa. Von Rothbartrevela su treta y desaparece con Odile, confiado en que ha ganado y mantiene el control maligno sobre sus doncellas cisne. Siegfried se da cuenta de su error demasiado tarde, y huye del palacio decidido a encontrar una solución. Acto IV. El Lago Los cisnes esperan ansiosamente el regreso de su reina, Odette, con la esperanza de que los haya salvado a través del amor del príncipe Siegfried. Cuando llega, les cuenta la traición de Siegfried. Ahora todo está perdido. El príncipe Siegfried sale corriendo de la niebla. Ha estado corriendo toda la noche. Los cisnes se reúnen alrededor de su reina para protegerla, pero ella da un paso adelante. A pesar de todo, ella todavía lo ama. Siegfried pide perdón y ella lo concede. En una furia, von Rothbartse abalanza para separar el par. Odette ve que su única escapada es quitarse la vida. Ella huye mientras Siegfried y el hechicero luchan. Provocado por von Rothbart, Siegfried se da cuenta de que él también debe quitarse la vida. Es la única manera de demostrar su verdadero amor y salvar a las doncellas cisne. Él corre tras Odette mientras que las doncellas cisne bloquean heroicamente a von Rothbart. Los amantes se lanzan sobre un acantilado, rompiendo así el hechizo. Las alas del hechicero se rompen y él se convierte en nada. Cuando el sol amanece un nuevo día, doncellas aparecen fuera de la niebla, liberadas para siempre de la magia malvada del hechicero. Odette y Siegfried están unidos eternamente en el cielo. swan lake | 18/19 season
