RON'S BALLET SITE Feature Page #1 1843 drawing by E. Baerentzen of August Bournonville. Click on picture for large image. Bournonville Ballets Surviving Ballets August Bournonville is one of my favorite choreographers. Unfortunately, very little of his vast output has survived, as you can see from the following list of those that have. Abdallah
Blomsterfesten i Genzano (only pas de deux survives)
Fjernt fra Danmark eller Et Costumebal Ombord
Et Folkesagn
Fra Siberien til Moskou (only jockey dance survives)
Kermessen i Brügge
Konservatoriet eller El Avisfrieri (only danseskolen act survives)
Livjægerne på Amager
Napoli eller Fiskeren og hans brud
Polka Militaire
Sylfiden De Tre Cousiner Troubadouren La Ventana Wilhelm Tell I'm particularly interested in the possible revival of some of his "lost" works. Because the detailed choreography of most of these really is lost, one can only attempt to reconstruct them "in the Bournonville style." Various aids are available, such as the surviving works and the daily classes and, in some cases, dancers' recollections and literary references. All Ballets The following table lists all Bournonville's dance works. These include complete ballets and divertissements, several of which were included in operas and plays. As you can see, there are some gaps in details for some of the works listed and I'll be very grateful if you can fill any of these. If you are able, please supply details of the source of information. You can email them to me, using the link on the home page, or post them to the | |
