The Fairy Doll full ballet. Premiere. Ballet Institute of San Diego

Performed June 18, 2022 (4PM) at the Joan B. Kroc Theatre and Performing Arts Center, San Diego, CA
Artistic Director: Eglė Špokaitė
Young student Head Teacher: Caitlyn Silvas
Synopsis
The curtain rises on a toyshop, where the proprietor is working on a doll’s head, while assistants dust off other dolls. Brisk trade goes on during the day and when night falls, the dolls miraculously come to life. The poor little errand-boy who works at the toy store is drawn into this magical world. A doll dressed in Upper-Austria national costume proceeds to dance a Tyrolean Ländler. Audience then meets a baby doll that crawls around, the music clearly evoking its cries of «Papa» and «Mama». Next the visitors are shown a Chinese doll, which dances a polka, after which a Spanish doll does a fiery Spanish dance complete with castanet accompaniment. Then a Japanese doll dances a slow mazurka, and a Harlequin performs a rousing tarantella. Other toys join in as the music rises to a climax, stirring all the dolls into motion. Then comes the piece de resistance in a fairy doll, which dances a graceful waltz.
When morning comes around, everyone returns to their places. The dolls retreat to their shelves and boxes, and the boy returns to his work.
Music by Josef Bayer, Piotr I. Tchaikovsky, Anton Rubenstein, Riccardo Drigo, Anatoly Lyadov and others. Libretto by Paul-Henri Fourcher and Joseph Mazilier. Choreography by brothers Sergey and Nikolay Legat, adaptation for students of Ballet Institute of San Diego by Eglė Špokaitė.

Балет Фея кукол. Я участвовала в этом балете (танец кукол и оловянных солдатиков) в 1962-1964 годах в Ленинграде. Музыка шикарная …но постановка другая, танцы проще, другие костюмы, декорации… Большое спасибо за детские воспоминания❤
