The Cape Town City Ballet will be performing TWO BALLETS at the Maynardville Open-Air Theatre, situated in Maynardville Park, Wynberg. The spectacular green wooded park has earned it the repution for is one of the best-loved outdoor theatre venues in the Cape Region. This is a diverse programme, taking the audience from the delightfully wistful SOLITAIRE to the quirky and charming classic, GRADUATION BALL.
SOLITAIRE was first seen in 1956, danced by the Sadler`s Wells Ballet in London. The ballet was described by the choreographer, Sir Kenneth MacMillan, as "a kind of game for one", in which a girl tries repeatedly to join in the activities of her friends, but always finds herself alone. Danced to the music of British composer, Sir Malcolm Arnold, this ballet will be taught and staged by the Artistic Director of the Royal Academy of Dance, Lynn Wallis.
GRADUATION BALL, the 2nd work on the programme, was created in 1940 by the Russian choreographer, David Lichine, for the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo. Using music by Johan Strauss II arranged by Antal Durati, the ballet is set in a Viennese boarding school, where the young girls put on a ball with the cadets of the city`s military academy.
Tickets are priced between R110 - R130.
