JOSEPH VOLPE

Executive Director

Welcome to At Night, our third Program of the 2022 – 2023 Season and our final performances before the new year.

We open this Program with Sir Frederick Ashton’s cherished holiday classic, Les Patineurs. Ever since its triumphant premiere in London in 1937, it has established itself at the Royal Opera House as a joyous hallmark of the winter season. Eager to share this Victorian-aesthetic ice rink spectacle, Iain transported Les Patineurs to Florida in December of 2008. I trust you will enjoy the return of this dazzling ballet and the technical virtuosity it has to offer.

At Night also features two ballets by Jerome Robbins, a creative icon of dance and stage. First, you’ll witness the Company Premiere of In the Night, a tempestuous reflection on romance through the interactions of three couples in various phases of love. The Program continues with Fancy Free; choreographed and set during the Second World War, a trio of sailors on leave enjoy the night life of a New York City bar, their capricious hijinks in stark contrast with the grim tone of the global conflict of the era. These two works perfectly exemplify Robbins’ capacity to explore emotional and thematic depths while maintaining a crowd-pleasing humor and wit.

We wish you a joyous holiday season—we look forward to welcoming you back to the Season in January of 2023 and ushering in another magnificent year of world-class ballet.

Program 3 | At Night

Sir Frederick Ashton's

Les Patineurs Ballet Synopsis

It was Constant Lambert, the troubled but inspirational Musical Director of the Vic-Wells Ballet and lover of the young Margot Fonteyn, who suggested that the ballet music from two of the French composer Meyerbeer’s operas, L’Étoile du Nord and the 1849 La Prophète, might furnish the ideal score for a skating ballet in development in 1937. These operas had famously featured a corps de ballet on roller skates, well over a century before Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express!

Ninette de Valois, the young company’s founding director, found herself unable to make headway with the Meyerbeer project, and handed it over to her rising young choreographer, Frederick Ashton, who reciprocated by delivering to her The Rake’s Progress which was proving equally challenging for him. This proved a happy exchange, resulting in a significant landmark work for each dance-maker.

Ashton knew precisely nothing of skating and had never visited an ice-rink in his life, but the delightful ice-skating divertissement he concocted premiered at Sadler’s Wells to great public acclaim, spectacularly demonstrating just how far the nascent British ballet had come in six short years from its inception by de Valois.

The ballet’s premiere benefited from an illustrious cast, with Margot Fonteyn (Ashton’s muse in the late 1930’s) and Robert Helpmann as the pas de deux couple and Harold Turner as the Blue Skater (a role not unrelated, perhaps, to the Blue Bird of the classical The Sleeping Beauty). It was in this popular success that the dancer Michael Somes first made his mark, attracting notice with his spectacularly impressive elevation, as the leading dancer and Ashton inspiration he was to become.

The Frederick Ashton Foundation exists to enrich the legacy of Sir Frederick Ashton (1904-1988) and his ballets.

The Ashton ballets performed this season as some of over one hundred ballets created by Sir Frederick Ashton TM. The Frederick Ashton Foundation, a registered charity working independently of, but in close association with, The Royal ballet, exists to enrich the legacy of Frederick Ashton TM and his Ballets.

Program 3 | At Night

Jerome Robbins'

In the Night Ballet Synopsis

A starry evening in a park or a terrace off a ballroom. A piano plays a Chopin nocturne as a couple enters, dances, and slowly leaves. Another couple enters and dances to another nocturne, then a third couple to a third nocturne. Finally, the three couples stroll in, exchange brief greetings and leave. This is all that happens in Jerome Robbins’ In the Night, but just as each nocturne presents a small world in itself, so the dances of the three couples encompass a surprising range of relationships.

In this way while little occurs, much is suggested in this third of Robbins’ five ballets to the music of Chopin. Choreographed in 1970 for New York City Ballet, it followed by a year his groundbreaking Dances at a Gathering, a ballet that marked Robbins’ definitive return to NYCB after years spent working in musical theatre and with his own company. In the Night reflects a more sophisticated milieu, both more formal and more personal, but what Robbins, who was famously reticent about explaining his ballets, said about Dances at a Gathering, that “it’s about relationships,” is equally true of In the Night.

How different from his first ballet to Chopin, the sly and often broad comedy of The Concert, while his last two, each a pas de deux, retain the formality of In the Night without its deeper implications. In the Night is also notable in using only nocturnes, a form that Chopin borrowed from the composer John Field and reworked in particularly personal ways, slowly developing an intimate atmosphere, often with an element of surprise before a return to the mood of the beginning. As Chopin’s 21 nocturnes, many of them technically demanding, extended both the expressive powers of the genre and of the piano, so did Robbins with dance in this emotionally suggestive ballet supported only by the piano.

Jerome Robbins'

Fancy Free Ballet Synopsis

The American ‘30s and ‘40s produced a dynamic, creative dance synergy between Broadway, Hollywood and the emergent American ballet and modern dance movements. As witnessed in the careers of George Balanchine, Agnes de Mille and especially Jerome Robbins, who moved smoothly between them, they developed an articulate, distinctive and entirely American style in all three genres.

Fancy Free proposes a trio of boisterous sailors on leave in wartime Manhattan, out for a good time and romance: a tale of flirtation, bars and bragging, as three men compete for two girls, each sailor offering a dance variation (galop, waltz and danzon). Eventually, the girls abandon the men to fight it out, leaving them to have another convivial drink and chase after a new girl. It’s a bonhomous episode of liberty, in a world at war, with the sailors’ rivalry and revelry defined by their comradeship.

Robbins’ original inspiration came from Paul Cadmus’ 1934 painting The Fleet’s In! although he admitted his ballet takes a more lighthearted view. It was Robbins who commissioned designs from Oliver Smith and music from the then little-known Bernstein. Robbins danced in the triumphant premiere, and then developed Fancy Free into a hit Broadway musical On The Town (1945) with Betty Comden and Adolph Green, who was rooming with Bernstein at the time.

The show became an iconic 1949 MGM film musical starring Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Ann Miller and Vera-Ellen, although only four of Bernstein’s original songs were used. What Jerome Robbins and such American dancemaking contemporaries as Eugene Loring and Agnes de Mille created was a distinctively all-American ballet style that brought together recognizable plots and characters, dynamic music, folk or social dance and classical technique.

Program 3 | At Night ORMSBY WILKINS Guest Conductor A native of Sydney, Australia, Ormsby Wilkins joined American Ballet Theatre as its Music Director in November 2005.

After taking his music studies at the Conservatories of Sydney and Melbourne, Wilkins joined The Australian Ballet and became resident conductor in 1982. Moving to Europe in 1983, he was appointed conductor with England’s Sadler’s Wells Royal Ballet (now called the Birmingham Royal Ballet).

Wilkins continued his association with The Australian Ballet, having been invited to guest on many occasions for its extensive engagements, which have included those in the United States, Russia, and London, England. Other international engagements have included La Scala, Milan, the Rome Opera Ballet, the Ballet of Teatro San Carlo of Naples, and the Royal Swedish Ballet. In 2001 he spent three months in Italy conducting once again at La Scala and making his debuts in both Genoa and at the Teatro Comunale in Florence. Most recently, Wilkins has also made guest appearances with The Sarasota Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, and Miami City Ballet.

Wilkins has conducted many orchestras around the world, both in association with ballet and in concert. They include the Philharmonia and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras of London, the Royal Opera House Orchestra, Winnipeg Symphony, Calgary Philharmonic, Edmonton Symphony, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Melbourne Symphony, Tokyo Philharmonic, and National Arts Centre Orchestra, Ottawa.

CAMERON GRANT Guest Pianist Cameron Grant is recently retired after 37 years with the New York City Ballet. As a solo pianist, he performed a vast repertoire for solo piano for the Company including many works by Balanchine and Robbins, and toured with the company across the globe. A renowned collaborative pianist, he spent five years touring with James Winn as half of the Grant-Winn piano duo, and was a member of the New York New Music Ensemble. In 2004, he won an Emmy Award and was invited to perform at the Kennedy Center Honors with three other members of the New York City Ballet for President Bush.

The Friends of The Sarasota Ballet champion the Company throughout the region. Through their events and volunteer work, they act as the heart of The Sarasota Ballet community, forming close bonds through a mutual love of ballet.
