SUMMARY:Classic Film Series:  An American in Paris
DESCRIPTION:An American in Paris\, released in 1951\, stars Gene Kelly\, Leslie Caron and the city of Paris. This music\, dance and ballet extravaganza\, also features supporting actors Oscar Levant\, Georges Guetary and Nina Foch. \nThe plot is the least important aspect of the production. Set in post-war Paris\, this simple story of love won\, love lost\, and love won again\, finds two friends (a struggling painter (Kelly) and a night club singer (Guetary) vying for the love of the same woman (Caron)\, accompanied by the caustic commentary of a third friend\, a perennial piano student (Levant).  However\, this story serves primarily as the backdrop for Kelly’s fabulous dance sequences\, Gershwin songs\, (most importantly his jazz influenced orchestral piece first performed in 1928)\, its creative set locations around everyday Paris\, and its closing ballet. The poignant eighteen-minute closing ballet sequence symbolizes through interpretive dance\, the entire courtship of Kelly and Caron\, with sets and costumes referencing French painters including Dufy\, Renoir\, Utrillo\, Rousseau and Toulouse-Lautrec. It is the climax of the film\, and cost the studio approximately $450\,000 to produce. \nDirected by Vincent Minnelli\, story and screenplay by Alan Jay Lerner\, the movie racked up multiple Oscars: Best Picture\, as well as multiple awards in the major technical categories of Choreography\, Cinematography\, Best Screenplay\, and Best Score.

SUMMARY:Classic Film Series:  The Tales of Beatrix Potter
DESCRIPTION:The Tales of Beatrix Potter\, released in 1971\, is a live action film\, adapting the animal stories of author Beatrix Potter into a full-fledged ballet performance. Danced by various stars of London’s Royal Ballet\, stars also include such colorful Potter imagined animals as Jemima Puddle-Duck\, Jeremy Fisher\, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle\, Peter Rabbit and his beautiful and magical garden of dreams. \nThe story begins with a young Potter hard at work on her writing when suddenly her mice\, duck\, frog\, and squirrel creations come dancing to life. Performers render each character with their own unique quirks and personalities and an authenticity that separates this performance from more typical ballet fare. With an all music soundtrack\, the stories come alive with fantastic costumes and masks through both pantomime and dance. \nCreated for film by Frederick Ashton\, with John Lanchery’s music (incorporating mostly forgotten Victorian melodies)\, and adapted for screen by Richard Goodwin and Christine Edzard. \nIn an unusual turnabout\, in 1992\, a ballet was adapted for the stage from this 1971 film!

SUMMARY:Classic Film Series:  Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty
DESCRIPTION:The Sleeping Beauty is the 1972 filmed performance of Tchaikovsky’s three-act ballet\, performed here by the National Ballet of Canada and the Orchestra of the National Ballet of Canada. It stars renowned dancer Veronica Tennant\, and ballet superstar Rudolf Nureyev. \nThe story is based on what seems to be a rather simple children’s fairy tale\, about the sleeping princess who can only be awakened by love’s first kiss. The tale was written in 1697 by French writer Charles Perrault as one of the Mother Goose Tales. Deemed by Nureyev as the “ballet of ballets\,” it is considered the most accomplished\, brilliant and spectacular representative of 19th century classical dance.  The work remains a staple in the repertoires of most of today’s ballet companies\, especially during the holidays. \nThe work was inspired by famed choreographer Marius Petipa\, who commissioned an original score by classical composer Tchaikovsky. It was premiered in 1890 in St. Petersburg\, Russia. This version was a 1966 adaptation\, choreographed by Rudolf Nureyev\, after Marius Petipa.
