Program

Part I. Carl Orff ‘Carmina Burana’
For Choir and Orchestra

Interval

Part II. Ballet ‘Les Sylphides’ (‘Chopiniana’), accompanied by a symphony orchestra.

‘Chopiniana’ was first staged in St. Petersburg on 10th February 1907, choreographed by Michel Fokine with music of F. Chopin orchestrated by Alexander Glazunov. Fokine reshaped the work for two years prior to its 1909 staging as ‘Les Sylphides’ for Serge Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes at the Chatelet Theater in Paris by legendary ballerina Pavlova. The work continued to evolve, but retained its essence as a one-act ballet evoking the Romantic Spirit of the sylph in an abstract work. ‘Les Sylphides’ is often confused with La Sylphide, another ballet of similar name but however the two ballets are unrelated.
