Inspired by Goethe's early romantic play Clavigo, Roland Petit's ballet recounts the agonies of a weak-willed lover torn between the contradictory promptings of his heart and his evil spirit, which urges him to serve his own interests and forsake true love in favour of a life of debauchery.
TDK presents a filmed version of this exciting choreography, which the grand seigneur of ballet was fortunate enough to create with a cast of young and highly talented dancers: "Creating a new ballet is such an exciting adventure! I have had so much positive feedback from my young dancers. They have made me intensely happy." The title role was created by Nicolas Le Riche, one of the foremost dancers of today. Famous all over the world for his elegant strength, the beauty of his expression and the musicality of his movements, he has created leading roles for choreographers such as Rudolf Nureyev, Mats Ek and John Neumeier. As Clavigo he dances opposite Clairemarie Osta, a fellow dancer at the Paris Opera Ballett and his wife in real life, who takes the role of his lover Marie. The other characters are primarily portrayed by principals (etoile) or soloists (premier danseur) of the outstanding Ballet de l'Opéra National de Paris, which has kept its place as one of the leading companies of the world next to the Kirov through generations of excellent dancers and choreographers.
This powerful staging also owes much to the score of Gabriel Yared, whose music underpins the entire ballet. Yared understands the need for recognisable rhythms for the dancers to perform to and he provides them. Petit's outstanding choreography is inventive, with powerful images, such as Clavigo's spider-like descent on a wire. The corps de ballet performs in a variety of styles ranging from eighteenth century formality to jerky marionette type movements. The superb and passionate dancing is set off by the structured stage design in grey, black or white panels and the beautiful late-18th-century-style pastel costumes, creating a feast for the eyes.
Clavigo opened at the Palais Garnier, Paris in October 1999 and, due to its enormous success, it was revived in 2001 and 2003. The filming for this DVD recreates the atmosphere of a night at the opera house, while providing the viewer with a closer look at the dancers, their interpretation and their artistic endeavours. |
