Rambert Triple Bill Video (0085)

VHS Only - $29.95
Robert North's Lonely Town, Lonely Street conveys a passionate and energetic picture of lonely people in a large city, set to a jazzy score by Bill Withers which gives the dancework its title. For his Sergeant Early's Dream, Christopher Bruce chose a theme based on the emigration from the old world to the new. “Throughout there is a feeling of sadness at leaving the old home and losing touch with old roots. However, people take with them threads of their own culture which will inevitably develop separately. There is a little of this influence as the ballet progresses but most of the numbers recall the folklore of the old world, reenacting life, loves and tragedies of the people of the past.” Christopher Bruce.  Lastly, Bruce's Intimate Pages used Janacek's String Quartet No. 2, which the composer wrote in the last year of his life when inspired by his love for a woman forty years his junior. The ballet captures Janacek's great happiness as well as the unbearable anguish of earlier tragedies in his life.

Because he must immediately depart on a campaign with King Andrei II of Hungary, the youth comes to the castle to bring his fiancée gifts and to bid her farewell. That night as Raymonda muses on her beloved, a statue of the White Lady, patroness of the House of Daurice, appears in a vision. She beckons the girl to the Magic Garden of Dreams, where Jean awaits her. But the apparition suddenly disappears, and in Jean's place there is an unknown, exotic Eastern knight, who makes a passionate declaration of love to the bewildered Raymonda, when she faints, the knight vanishes. As dawn breaks, Raymonda awakens in the belief that her dream has been a terrible omen of her destiny.

Romeo & Juliet Video

Romeo & Juliet DVD Only (D1183) - $29.99
This film is the famous Royal Ballet production of Romeo and Juliet. This historical performance stars Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev as the quintessential stage lovers. It captures the greatest dance partnership of our century at the peak of their careers.  Fonteyn and Nureyev's performance has been critically hailed as “perfection of movement which epitomizes the freedom that lies beyond technical mastery. It expresses itself as poetic lyricism.”  Romeo and Juliet features the music of Serge Prokofiev; a work which has been recognized as the first great full-length ballet score since Tchaikowsky's classics. The choreography of Kenneth MacMillan is acknowledged as the reason for the ballet's successful transfer to the film medium. John Lanchbery conducts the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House Covent Garden. It is a film for lovers of ballet and romantics alike.
