A LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dear Louisville Ballet Friends,

Welcome to the final production of our 2022/2023 Season of Transcendence! I am so grateful that you are here as we celebrate its beautiful conclusion – LA SYLPHIDE with Balanchine’s Scotch Symphony. How magical it is that we are here – in this theater – sharing one final transcendent experience together

First staged almost 200 years ago, “La Sylphide” is not a new story. But its elements – forbidden desire, obligation to family, and the tragic consequences of both – are still timelessly human. We’ve preserved August Bournonville’s choreography, created for the Royal Danish Ballet in 1836, but this production’s scenery and costumes are new. My designs were inspired by St. Peter’s Seminary, built in 1966 Scotland in the Brutalist architectural style. Abandoned soon after it opened, this massive, concrete structure was overtaken by the forest surrounding it. Recent images – of moss growing between cracks, of trees soaring against and through exterior walls, of interior spaces filled with ponding water and graffiti – all sparked my imagination.

What a clear visual representation of the contrast and conflict between human constructs and the natural world – hallmark themes of Romantic period origins that still resonate today. My hope is that by offering a fresh vision of our own “La Sylphide,” we open a window to this ballet for 21st century audiences.

It’s important to note that this vision was only made real through the incredible work of our costume shop, production team, and contributing artists. Their artistry and skill is evident in every detail you see on stage. Special thanks to Eric Allgeier and to Teresa Greer for their support and expertise.

Opening this production with George Balanchine’s “Scotch Symphony,’’ an invigorating tribute to ballets like “La Sylphide,” feels like the perfect pairing. First choreographed and performed in 1952, this Modernist work stylishly invokes the spirit of the Scottish Highlands. I know our dancers loved the technical challenge, the gorgeous costumes, and having Philip Neal here from The George Balanchine Trust to stage this work in our studios.

And now for a welcome – and welcome home of sorts. I am thrilled to announce that Leslie Smart has joined Louisville Ballet as our new Executive Director. Her experience, passion, and connection to this organization runs deep, and I know that we are all so pleased to have her by our side.

I invite you, for the last time this season, to enjoy the incredible art and artistry of your Louisville Ballet. Thank you for being part of it all. You are the why of what we do. Here’s to celebrating 71 years of making moving art, and to the promise of even more to come!

SYNOPSIS: LA SYLPHIDE

ACT I: A castle in Scotland

It is James’s wedding day. A magical air spirit, a Sylph, kneels at his feet and gazes at him lovingly as he sleeps in a chair. James awakens and sees the Sylph. He tries to catch her, but she vanishes.

Effie, James’s fiancée, enters with her aunt, a rich widow, Anna. Effie surprises James, who embraces her with unexpected intensity, believing her to be the Sylph. Effie declares that James was not thinking of her, but he reassures her of his love.

Effie’s girlfriends arrive with wedding gifts. Just as James hands her the family tartan, he notices Madge, a mysterious figure, sitting by the fire. He violently insists that her presence is a bad omen and goes to throw her out, but Effie intercedes and James reluctantly agrees to let Madge stay. Madge tells the girls’ fortunes and when it is Effie’s turn, she predicts that Effie will not marry James but will marry Gurn. In a fury, James throws Madge out, but not before she curses him and swears vengeance.

After Effie leaves to prepare for the wedding, James is left thinking of the Sylph. Suddenly, she appears at the window, declares her love for James, and despairs that he must marry Effie. She dances for him until he is at the point of yielding to her love. Gurn enters and sees this exchange, and calls for Effie and Anna. But by the time they arrive, the Sylph has disappeared, and no one believes Gurn’s story.

The wedding guests arrive. As James prepares to give Effie her wedding ring, the Sylph snatches it away, placing the ring on her own finger. Unable to resist, James follows her into the wilderness. Family and friends rush to find them while Effie recalls Madge’s prophecy and collapses in tears.

ACT II: The Wilderness

Madge conjures a magical scarf with dark power and ill intent. James tries to capture the Sylph, who continually eludes him. Gurn continues his search for James and discovers his hat, but is stopped by Madge, who makes him promise not to reveal what he has found. In return, she will help Gurn persuade Effie to marry him.

Tormented by his unfulfilled passion for his beloved Sylph, James begs Madge to help him. She consents on the condition that he follows her instructions without question. He agrees and Madge gives him the scarf to drape around the Sylph. Madge promises that if he does what she says, the Sylph will be his forever.

When the Sylph returns, James does as Madge instructed, unaware of the dark power of the scarf. Trembling with pain, the Sylph sheds her wings and sinks to the ground. Giving back the wedding ring, she dies. Madge confronts James and reveals that she is avenged. Overcome with grief, James falls to the ground hearing nothing but the cruel sound of Madge’s laughter.

BRUTAL BEAUTY

Artistic Director Robert Curran discusses his inspiration for creating a brand new La Sylphide for Louisville audiences. Contrasting grounded Scottish Brutalist architecture and the light, ethereal nature of Sylphs reinforces the tension between love and envy in this one-of-a-kind world premiere.

Why did you want to create new sets and costumes for La Sylphide?

Robert Curran: This production of La Sylphide is following in what’s becoming the Louisville Ballet tradition of setting the classics in a new context that’s a little bit more relevant for today’s audience. It’s really important to keep reimagining what these stories mean, what they say, and how we say them, so that they can continue to live on for centuries longer.

Can you describe the new sets? What was the inspiration behind them?

RC: When you consider the story of James and the Sylph, these two characters couldn’t be more opposite. There’s James – with all of his masculinity, his sense of obligation, his duty to marry Effie, his sense of leadership in the family. It’s very heavy and grounded and masculine. And then you have the Sylph –who’s mythical, airy. They are air sprites, Sylphs are. And she’s mischievous. She’s free.

And to contrast those two extremes – the masculine and the feminine, the kind of sense of obligation and the sense of freedom – to echo that in the scenery was my inspiration. So the scenic designs for Act I are just that: very heavy, concrete, inspired by Scottish Brutalist architecture from the middle of the 20th Century. Lots of concrete, quite gray, simple, large,

big set pieces to create this sense of groundedness, permanence and weight. And then in Act II, it’s much more colorful, free, transparent, glowing, and light to echo the two main characters. And then, of course, we have the character of Madge, who is some kind of force of gravity who pulls these two opposites together to collide in a catastrophic way.

What was the inspiration behind the new costumes?

RC: The costumes for this production take similar inspiration as the scenery. There is a sense of somberness, of weight, of heaviness in the costumes in Act I, bordering on a little bit of a sense of military, too, to keep pushing that sense of duty, that sense of obligation, that sense of responsibility.

And then actually for Act II, we have gone in a different direction than what traditional productions bring to the stage with their Sylphs. We’re really stripping it back away from that romantic tutu, the long tutu, and the bodice, and really making it much more light, much more revealing. We’re also steering away from the pink tights this year. But, of course, they still have wings!

What do you hope audiences take away from La Sylphide?

RC: Louisville should be so proud of this company: the dancers, the artists, the collaborators, the administrators, the educators. And a ballet like La Sylphide really shows what we’re capable of doing. These scenic designs, these costume designs didn’t exist before a couple of months ago, and we’ve created them from scratch to bring this production that nobody else has to our Louisville community – to you all. I hope that you [walk away from this show inspired to be creative in your own worlds because if we can do it, so can you.

Trained at The Australian Ballet School and having enjoyed a thrilling and fulfilling career with The Australian Ballet as a Principal Artist, Robert Curran took the passion and discipline he developed as a dancer and set his sights on diversifying his knowledge, skills and abilities.

Beyond his dancing career he strives to continue to move people towards a satisfying encounter with dance. Mr. Curran is motivated by the form that a dancer gains from training in the traditions of classical ballet, where respect and discipline can facilitate breathtaking strength and freedom. He is also inspired by the innovation that forms the function of any artist, that being to bravely and boldly express oneself through art for the greater good of a community. As Artistic Director of Louisville Ballet, Mr. Curran continues to contribute to the global arts community, enriching his knowledge of the art form to which he has devoted his life. He is excited by, and committed to, the Louisville community with its abundant respect for the arts and its exciting perspective on the future.

AUGUST BOURNONVILLE

Choreographer, La Sylphide

August Bournonville (1805-1879) was a Danish ballet master and choreographer, who created a ballet style called the Bournonville School. He trained under his father, acclaimed dancer Antoine Bournonville, as well as the Italian Choreographer Vincenzo Galeoletti, and French Dancer Auguste Vestris. After his career as a solo dancer with the Royal Danish Ballet, Bournonville became a choreographer for the company, creating over 50 ballets. He is most known for La Sylphide (1836), Napoli (1842), Le Conservatoire (1849), The Kermesse in Bruges (1851) and A Folk Tale (1854). His work only became known in the United States after World War II, when the Royal Danish Ballet began touring and performing his ballets abroad.

GEORGE BALANCHINE

Choreographer, Scotch Symphony

George Balanchine transformed the world of ballet. He is widely regarded as the most influential choreographer of the 20th century, and he cofounded two of ballet’s most important institutions: New York City Ballet and the School of American Ballet. Balanchine was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1904, studied at the Imperial Ballet School in St. Petersburg, and danced with the Maryinsky Theatre Ballet Company, where he began choreographing short works. He choreographed 425 works over the course of 60plus years, and his musical choices ranged from Tchaikovsky to Stravinsky to Gershwin. Many of Balanchine’s works are considered masterpieces and are performed by ballet companies all over the world.

BARON LØVENSKJOLD

Composer, La Sylphide

Baron Løvenskjold (1815-1870) was a Norwegian composer best known for his score of La Sylphide. He trained in Denmark under composer Peter Casper Krossing, as well as Vienna, Leipzig, and St. Petersburg.

FELIX MENDELSSOHN

Composer, Scotch Symphony

Felix Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847) was a German composer, pianist, and conductor of the Romantic era. He was praised for his technical skill and was sometimes criticized for his conservative, traditional style, but gained respect and admiration with original compositions such as the Overture and incidental music for A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1826, 1842). The Midsummer score, which includes the infamous “Wedding March,” mimics the playful, comedic nature of Shakespeare’s play. Other notable works include his violin and piano concertos and Symphony No. 3, the score used for Balanchine’s Scotch Symphony (1952).

BARBARA KARINSKA

Costume Designer, Scotch Symphony

Karinska (1886-1983) was a legendary, Oscar-winning costume designer for ballet and the arts, designing costumes for more than 70 Balanchine ballets. Born in what is now Kharkiv, Ukraine, Karinska lived across Europe and was an enthusiast of theatre, ballet, painting, and other arts. After coming to the US, she joined New York City Ballet’s costume shop in 1949 after a personal invitation from Balanchine, and produced most of the company’s costumes. Karinska invented the “powder puff tutu,” setting a new standard for design. Notable designs include those for Scotch Symphony, Symphony in C, Jewels, Chaconne, and Vienna Waltzes. She was the only costume designer to receive the Capezio Award, an annual award for outstanding contributors to the world of dance. Balanchine once said, “There is Shakespeare for literature, Karinska for costumes!”

Every Tuesday afternoon around 4:30 pm at Louisville Ballet’s Downtown Studios, young dancers in the Ballet Bound Community Program begin to arrive for their weekly class. They run in the door full of stories about their day at school and wait in the hall until class begins.

On the other side of the wall, Louisville Ballet Company Artists are busy rehearsing for their next production as the Ballet Bound students watch intently through small windows with millions of questions and comments about what they see: “How does she do that?” “I’m going to be dancing in there one day!” “Oh, look, there’s Sanjay!”

Students have the opportunity to learn from many instructors throughout their year of study. This includes all of the Community Engagement team members, several dancers from the company, and Mr. Robert Curran. This joint effort of teaching exposes the

students to a great deal of material through a wide range of teaching styles by professional educators, ensuring that students are receiving the highest quality of training.

Students also get to know and interact with the Company dancers as their guest teachers, which has a huge impact on them, making their dream of being a professional dancer seem a little more achievable. They always get to ask their guest teachers questions – and sometimes the questions are about dance – but most times, the students just enjoy getting to know the dancers. “What is your favorite color?” is almost always asked by someone!

Now celebrating its third year in operation, Ballet Bound is a tuition free program that aims to build diversity in the world of ballet, recognizing that ballet – its practitioners, makers, and audiences – do not yet reflect the full diversity of our community. In the first year of Ballet Bound, 20 students attend a free weekly class at our downtown studios.Students and their families are invited to attend Louisville Ballet productions at no cost, encouraging the families to be a part of their child’s dance education and help nurture a love and appreciation for live art. Students also have their own performance opportunities, like The Louisville Ballet School’s Spring Dance Festival.

At the end of the school year, 5 of the students in the first-year program are invited to enter LBS on a full scholarship until the student graduates from high school. This includes approximately 10 years of training, averaging around $45,000 per student. Currently, several students have come through the program at LBS, including 7 on a full scholarship and 4 who receive partial tuition assistance through the General Scholarship Fund.

We will host our annual Ballet Bound Summer Audition Tour in partnership with Olmsted Parks in June and July. Learn more at louisvilleballet.org/balletbound and help us spread the word throughout the community!
