SUMMARY:Modanse
DESCRIPTION:The Bolshoi prima Svetlana Zakharova returns to Dubai Opera with dancers from the Bolshoi company for a one-night-only presentation of her touring double bill. The main piece is Gabrielle Chanel\, an hour-long bio-ballet featuring 80 costumes created by the eponymous couture house for scenes from Chanel’s life; the evening opens with Mauro Bigonzetti’s Come un Respiro\, an attempt to translate the sense of human breath within its choreography and score (which is based on music by Handel).

SUMMARY:Romeo and Juliet
DESCRIPTION:This is a true classic of ballet\, and it is always danced best by a company that follows the classical tradition rigorously – which is what you traditionally get from Russian companies\, of course. This production is not from the Moscow State Ballet\, despite what the publicity claims; it is however from the Russian State Ballet Mari El\, a company based in Mari El republic; established in the early 2000s\, the company is known for its commitment to classical ballet technique and has gained a reputation for the quality and accessibility of its performances; so this one should be on the button. Music by Sergei Prokofiev\, classic choreography by Konstantin Ivanov – a former Bolshoi soloist who is the State Ballet Mari El’s creative and administrative director.

SUMMARY:Swan Lake
DESCRIPTION:A proper classic\, done in the classic style: Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake earned its initial reputation because of the choreography by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov\, and this production by the Hungarian National Ballet with the Hungarian National Opera Orchestra – which has a sold-out run at Dubai Opera in 2023\, with more than 8\,000 seats sold – follows that tradition\, with revisions to the original choreography by Rudi van Dantzig and Toer van Schayk. \nThere are further performances as follows: \nFri 26 Sep 8pm\nSat 27 Sep 2pm and 8pm\nSun 28 Sep 1pm and 7pm

SUMMARY:We call it Ballet: Sleeping Beauty
DESCRIPTION:This is a version of the ballet that features just six dancers (rather than the 30 or more in a full conventional production) “to bring this classic tale to life on stage”.  The show is created\, directed\, and choreographed by María Farelo and Cristian Pérez of Luma Artistas\, whose style is to focus on storytelling through movement\, emphasizing character development and emotional depth. The choreography incorporates a mix of classical ballet techniques and modern dance\, and the production also features striking visual elements including glow-in-the-dark costumes and high-tech lighting designs; the intention is to honour the original tale while providing a perspective that resonates with contemporary audiences. \nThere are shows at 6.30 and 9pm.

SUMMARY:Carmina Burana
DESCRIPTION:The final performances of this ballet reinterpretation of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana by the Ballet of the Slovene National Theatre Maribor\, with choreography by Edward Clug The original is of course a 20th-century choral classic that draws inspiration from medieval verse and taps into timeless human themes of hope\, love\, and destiny; Clug has sought to highlight this\, especially finding what he describes as “parallelism between the cycles of nature\, especially during the spring awakening of nature\, and human life and lust …”. There are performances at 5pm and 8pm\, and you can get tickets at half price if you use promocode BALLET50 when checking out.

SUMMARY:Carmina Burana
DESCRIPTION:The noted choreographer Edward Clug has managed a powerful and poignant reinterpretation of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana for this production by the Ballet of the Slovene National Theatre Maribor\, which has received generally enthusiastic reviews en route to Dubai . \nThe original is of course a 20th-century choral classic that draws inspiration from medieval verse and taps into timeless human themes of hope\, love\, and destiny; Clug has sought to highlight this\, especially finding what he describes as “parallelism between the cycles of nature\, especially during the spring awakening of nature\, and human life and lust … It is the awakening of lust in the young body\, which longs for the forbidden and unattainable (fruit)\, that represents the movement tension of the journey through twenty-four ‘songs’. \n“The shape that spontaneously emerged was a circle that coincided with the circle of fortune from the first song of O Fortuna and was created by thirty dancers\, each of whom aspired to the core of this perfect natural form. The narrower the circle\, the more tension and force permeates its core.” \nThis is Dubai Opera’s last ballet of the season\, and you can get tickets at half price if you use promocode BALLET50 when checking out. There are further shows tomorrow (24 May) at 5pm and 8pm.

Prices are high\, but this is a chance to see the standard in romantic ballets (and if we’re lucky enough to get Chinara Alizade dancing Giselle\, that will be a real bonus …)

SUMMARY:The Best of Swan Lake
DESCRIPTION:A return to Dubai for this touring one-hour version of Tchaikovsky’s best-loved ballet\, seen here at couple of years ago. It’s danced by a company called Worldstars; it’s a well established touring outfit that aims to preserve the classical ballet tradition\, formed in 2010 and known for gala performances particularly around Europe. \nPast performances have typically had around 18 dancers\, and the music will presumably be recorded rather than live; but the dancers have CVs that feature many of the top dance employers (like Paris Opera\, Royal Danish Ballet\, Royal Ballet)\, so the quality should be good … \nThere are shows at 6.30pm and 9pm. Tcket-holders get a 20% discount on F&B at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray.
