辛西雅．格雷戈里與美國明星芭蕾舞群

基本資料

仙女第二幕 「仙女」是十九世紀以來，最著名的古典芭蕾舞劇之一。曾經有過多人的修訂和補充。這齣二幕白色芭蕾故事，敘述年輕農人詹姆在他的結婚喜日上，夢見一位美麗端莊的仙女，他不禁深深的迷戀上她，終於捨棄未婚妻隨仙女而去。但是凡人與仙女的結合終究是不可能的。詹姆就在埋怨仙女的飄忽當中，接受巫婆的魔力披肩，繫上仙女的庸膀以為即可永相廝守，卻不料仙女一聲慘叫，翅膀盡落的倒地死去。此時獨留詹姆在痛悔哭泣。 白天鵝雙人舞 「天鵝湖」是古典芭蕾舞中最受歡迎的一齣舞劇。王子與天鵝公主間受邪惡的羅伯斯特阻撓，而不能結合的淒美故事幾乎人人耳熟能詳;當中的「白天鵝」與「黑天鵝」雙人舞更是膾炙人口;舉凡偉大的芭蕾舞女星，都曾成功的演出此劇，並以此贏得崇高的舞后地位，名垂青史。辛西雅．格雷戈里便是擁有此殊榮的當代舞后，她飾演的天鵝公主奧黛特一奧黛兒，至今仍被視為經典。 塔朗特舞 塔朗特舞是一種南義大利最受歡迎的民俗舞，名稱由Taranto市而來。1964 年，喬治．巴蘭欽根據此種舞蹈形式及其6/8拍節奏編成這支古典雙人舞，風格明朗活潑，速度極快。 「夜」五人舞 一支由亞當．米勒編作的現代舞，帶有強烈的爵士風並成功的表現史塔溫斯基的 “鳥木協奏曲”風格。 柴高夫斯基雙人舞 1960年由喬治．巴蘭欽編作的古典作品，音樂採用他最喜歡的作曲家柴高夫斯基作品。這支舞作是巴蘭欽對名劇 “天鵝湖”的敘述。 唐吉訶德 本齣舞劇實以舞蹈場面為主，構成一個多采多姿，沒有塵世之煩擾的飛舞世界，舞劇的故事其實只是舞蹈的附屬品。明庫斯音樂高度的旋律因易於配舞，在這裡更是發揮了最高的伴奏功能。 第三幕描寫四出周遊模仿古代騎士的唐吉訶德，終於從夢幻覺醒而感到悲傷和孤獨。 海盜雙人舞 故事描述海盜Corsaire強行佔有年輕、美麗的女子，而後者卻不知不覺的愛上他，終以喜劇收場。 羅密歐與茱麗葉雙人舞 戲劇泰斗莎翁的名著，改編成芭蕾舞劇，魅力依然不滅。以芭蕾浪漫優美的形式來詮釋淒美的愛與死主題無疑是成功的。這段雙人舞描帶他們在女方花園第一次的幽會。
