Quote:

Frank Andersens sidste udspil

Af Vibeke Wern

Den Kgl. Ballet byder i næste sæson på klassiske handlingsballetter højt på tå i god blanding med nye koreografier af bl.a. Jirí Kylián, Ohad Naharin, Nacho Duato og Jorma Elo.

Balletmester Frank Andersen forlader Den Kgl. Ballet sommeren 2008. Han har formået at bringe kompagniet i topform, og kunne i går præsentere programmet for sin sidste sæson som balletmester. Et program, der umiddelbart kan se lidt gengangeragtigt ud med gamle kendinge som handlingsballetterne »Onegin«, »Nøddeknækkeren« og »Don Quixote«. Men bag flere af de velkendte titler gemmer sig nye koreografer.

Den Kgl. Ballets egen solodanser Kenneth Greve, som senest har vist sit fine koreografiske talent i »Lux« i Solbjerg Kirke i januar, skal sammen med instruktøren Peter Langdal og scenografen Karin Betz lave en helt ny version af »Nøddeknækkeren« til Gamle Scene. Det kan der nok komme en både eventyrlig, poetisk og måske også sjov juleballet ud af med masser af gode trin.

Translation:

The Royal Ballet offers in the next season story ballets high on pointe in a good mix with new choreography by Jiri Kylian, Ohad Naharin, Nacho Duato and Jorma Elo. [Kate's note - but totally omits Christopher Wheeldon....]

Balletmaster Frank Andersen leaves the Royal Ballet in the summer of 2008. He has been able to bring the company to top form and yesterday presented the programme for his last season as balletmaster. A program, which immediately can seem a little repetitive on its face with old friends like the story ballets 'Onegin', 'Nutcracker' and 'Don Quixote'. But behind more of the well known titles hide new choreographers.

The Royal Ballet's own principal dancer Kenneth Greve, which lately has shown his fine talent in "Lux" at Solberg Church in January, will together with instructor Peter Langdal and set designer Karin Betz, create a whole new version of "Nutcracker" for Old Stage. It will be both exciting and poetic and perhaps also funny.
