Comment on the ballet Swan Lake

10 10/day, my parents took me to see the ballet Swan Lake, which was performed by the Russian National Ballet. I'm so happy!

After arriving at the theater, we bought a brief introduction of Swan Lake and made seats according to it. I read the introduction before the ballet began. In the introduction, the plot of the whole story and some actors are briefly introduced. The ballet began, and my father gently told me, "Be quiet when watching the ballet!" "I nodded seriously.

This ballet has four acts. The red curtain slowly opened and the background of the court appeared on the stage. There is a funny court clown, a noble queen and a powerful prince in the bright court. There are many friends of the prince dancing together.

My favorite is the second act. Because there is a white swan princess in it. In this scene, there are four cygnets performing a foursome dance. They danced neatly! There is also a duet performed by Princess Swan and Prince. Their movements are all difficult, really called one minute on stage and ten years off stage. The music in this scene was beautiful, and the actors danced gracefully, which made me feast my eyes. It specifically mentioned that the prince went hunting in the forest. He met a group of swans, and the swans gradually became elegant princesses. The princess told the prince that an evil wizard had turned them into swans. Only when a prince really loves them can they change back to their original appearance. The prince swore to heaven that he would love her forever.

The third act is about the process of the prince choosing the princess. When all the princesses finished dancing, the prince was at a loss. At this moment, a beautiful princess and an arrogant knight appeared. They are black swans and wizards. The prince thought the black swan was very similar to the white swan, so he decided to choose the black swan as his wife. At this time, the white swan appeared, and the prince suddenly realized that this was not the white swan he met by the lake at all. He was very upset and fled the court quietly.

In the fourth act, the prince and the wizard fought fiercely. Finally, the prince won and the princesses were free again.

I was very excited after watching it, and I also learned the actions of the actors. Mom says I am a good learner. I hear you dancing.

Comment on the ballet Swan Lake

Ballet appeared in Italy in the heyday of the Renaissance in15-16th century, and artists tried their best to imitate the artistic style of ancient Greece. The earliest ballet performance was held at a palace banquet. 1489, orpheus was staged in an Italian town to celebrate the wedding of the Duke of Milan and Princess Idabel of Aragon. The form of performance at that time was completely different from the ballet performance we see today. Each performance is generally related to serving food, such as eating wild boar after the performance of simulated hunting begins; The sea god and the river god appeared and began to eat fish. Then, many mythical figures came to the stage to offer many dishes and fruits, and finally the guests took part in a lively and carnival performance. This is a performance form that integrates singing, dancing, recitation and drama performance. It can be said that it is the embryonic form of ballet, and later people call it "banquet ballet". Ballet continued to develop and went through several main stages: court ballet, plot ballet, romantic ballet, Russian ballet and contemporary ballet. The Swan Lake we saw belongs to the classic Russian ballet.

The creative background of Swan Lake;

187 1 In the summer of, the composer Tchaikovsky went to Amin, Ukraine for a holiday and visited his sister who lived there. As an uncle, he wrote a one-act play for his lovely nephews based on the fairy tale Swan Lake by German writer Mo Sais. 1In August, 875, Gritzer, president of Moscow Imperial Theatre, wrote a large-scale dance drama Swan Lake in cooperation with playwright Pichev, and entrusted Tchaikovsky to compose music for it, with a reward of 800 rubles. Tchaikovsky, who had long expected to try something in the field of dance drama, based on this short ballet composed four years ago, incorporated it into the music of the opera "Water Goddess" written by 1869, and completed all the music creation in April of the following year. The whole play is divided into four acts and twenty-nine songs. Soon, "Swan Lake" was directed by German Zeng Ge, and officially premiered in Moscow, with Lopov as the conductor of the orchestra. Unfortunately, they were at a loss about Tchaikovsky's innovation, and they joined the music of other composers such as Puni at will, instead of following the original score. It was abnormal because the director was mediocre. He tied a thin stick to the arm of the actress who played the swan and made them imitate the wings of a bird, which eventually led to the complete failure of the premiere and stopped after only a few performances. Tchaikovsky, who was introverted, blamed his music for the failure of the performance. He always intended to modify the music of Swan Lake, but he died before he started.

1894, Marius Pitipa, the general director of Mariinsky Theatre in Petersburg, with the cooperation of his assistant Lev Ivanov, held a commemorative performance for the first anniversary of Tchaikovsky's death, and put the second act of Swan Lake back on the stage for the first time. Then one or three acts were directed by Pitipa, and two or four acts were directed by Ivanov. The whole play was staged in Petersburg on1October 27th. 1895. With the help of conductor Derrigo, they made necessary additions and deletions to the dance drama spectrum and adjusted the order. There are various innovations in choreography, which endow them with different personalities and rhythms to highlight the sharp contrast between good and evil between Ogle Tower and ogier Ya. The actress Pierina laigna, who was the heroine at that time, creatively reflected the director's intention with delicate feeling, light dancing and complete skills. It is said that in the third act, the swan did 32 Fouette (one-legged spin) in one breath, which is the first time to complete this ballet dancer's stunt. The reenactment of Swan Lake was a great success and reached the brilliant peak of classical romantic dance drama. In the 20th century, with the spread of ballet art all over the world, Swan Lake became the most classical ballet performed by ballet companies all over the world, with different versions. The existing five professional ballet companies in China regard Swan Lake as their regular repertoire, which has become the most familiar and favorite ballet of China people. Most ballet lovers began to feel the charm of ballet from Swan Lake. There will be four versions of Swan Lake in the first Beijing International Dance Performance Season from 12 to 12 next year.

These performances are from the Central Ballet, the Russian All-Star Festival Ballet, the Belarusian National Theatre Ballet and the Cuban National Ballet.

Next, I'm going to tell the story of Swan Lake, which is probably the most interesting thing for everyone. What did the dancers show after the rich body language? Going to the ballet in the future and seeing the story first will definitely help to understand the dance. The story of Swan Lake goes like this:

On the day when Prince Siegfried came of age, the palace held a ball for him to choose a princess. The prince was very unhappy with this indifferent ceremony. His friend Beno comforted him. Towards dusk, a flock of swans flew across the sky, and the prince followed him with a bow. A flock of geese swam across the lake, among which Princess Aogueta wore a crown. The prince raised his bow to shoot, and Aogueta complained about injustice. The prince is determined to defeat the devil with pure feelings and restore her to her original shape, and invites her to the princess selection dance tomorrow. As night fell, the geese were lured away by the devil. The prince pressed a feather left by Aogueta to his chest and vowed to save the princess from her misery.

In the palace, the prince who cares about the Ogle Tower is not seduced by the enchanting princesses who look after her. In order to break the oath between the prince and Ogle Tower, the devil broke into the palace with his daughter Ogle Tower. The guests from all over the world who came to the ball were teased by Oglia. The prince mistakenly thought that she was Oglia and danced the famous black swan duet. The prince who fell into the trap swore to heaven, and the demon king laughed grimly. Suddenly, when the prince saw the desperate white swan outside the window, he realized that he had been cheated and rushed out of the court in despair. Ogetta painfully told his companion that "the prince was ungrateful" and decided to die. The prince came to confess and ask for forgiveness. The demon king showed his true colors as an owl and fought to the death with the prince. Of course, the final outcome is that innocent feelings finally overcome evil. When the dark clouds cleared and the earth shone, Ojeta and the swans returned to human form, and Princess Ojeta and Prince Siegfried lived happily ever after. At this moment, I have to mention the thrilling melody, the core of the dance drama.

Tchaikovsky made many innovations in ballet music. He overcame the shortcomings of the previous formula of ballet music, endowed it with the development of symphony, made it more dramatic and greatly improved its expressive force. In the music of Swan Lake, he successfully applied the principles of symphony, the comparison and development of themes in sonata forms, and the free use of fugue and Rondo forms. Tchaikovsky greatly enriched and improved the musicality and expressive force of classical dance (including duet, trio, quartet and solo dance, etc.). ) and the representative folk dances in the ballet (including the characteristic dances of various ethnic groups and regions) make it look brand-new. Under the guidance of sincere and touching melody and sobbing aria, he skillfully used various musical expressions to create characters and launch dramatic conflicts. The whole dance drama is beautiful, complete and poetic. Tchaikovsky emphasized that music is beautiful, complete and poetic, and music plays an enterprising role in ballet. By using the development of explicit motivation, high-density sound texture and other symphony creation techniques, the music is closely consistent with the feelings of the characters and specific scenes in the play and achieves a high degree of unity. In the second act of "The White Swan for Two", the sad and euphemistic melody vividly expresses the helplessness of Princess Aogueta trapped in her own clutches and her infinite yearning for a pure and free life. Since its publication, Swan Lake has attracted many first-class composers to enter the field of ballet creation, and outstanding works have emerged one after another.

Finally, thanks to our great dancers, they are the real soul of the dance drama.

The highest task of dance drama art is to create a dazzling dance image, and a successful dance image will bring endless aesthetic enjoyment to the audience. This performance can be called the "all-star lineup" of Russian ballet: there are national meritorious actors (the highest honor of Russian artists) and many world champions. The girl image of the enchanted white swan shown in the second act of Swan Lake is charming, vivid and touching, and unforgettable. Pride (the dance of stretching arms and lifting legs) is accompanied by upward jumping, swinging arms like wings and breaking toes. When meeting the prince, he turned up his palm to block his face, avoiding the eyes of strangers, showing a shy gesture and shaping the vivid image of Swan Aogueta.

I believe everyone has a necessary understanding of the ballet Swan Lake at this moment. If you have the opportunity to watch it again in the future, you will definitely see it more clearly. It should be mentioned that at present, we can enjoy ballet from movies, TV, VCD and other aspects, but to truly understand and feel the charm of ballet art, we still have to walk into the theater. This is because ballet expresses feelings through the actors' bodies and bodies. Both solo and duet require the integrity of dance and the continuity of movements. However, the art of film or television has its own artistic rules, and it is necessary to use lens language to change the scene, sometimes panoramic, sometimes medium, and sometimes close-up. When the lens conversion is not handled properly, the following scenes often appear: when you want to express some emotions of the characters with full-body dance, you can only see an excited face on the screen; Originally the shape of a sculpture, he put his hand out of the picture; This is a wonderful dance, and only two legs wearing pointed shoes are moving on the screen. Ballet is a theater art, which cannot be separated from the communication between actors and audiences. Students who go to the scene to watch the performance must have a deep understanding.

Comment on the ballet Swan Lake

I was lucky enough to take the course of dance appreciation this year. In class, the teachers watched various dance competitions in the square dance for us, and ballet impressed me the most. Now I'll talk about my feelings after reading it.

Ballet appeared in Italy in the heyday of the Renaissance in15-16th century, and artists tried their best to imitate the artistic style of ancient Greece. The earliest ballet performance was held at a palace banquet. 1489, orpheus was staged in an Italian town to celebrate the wedding of the Duke of Milan and Princess Idabel of Aragon. The form of performance at that time was completely different from the ballet performance we see today. Each performance is generally related to serving food, such as eating wild boar after the performance of simulated hunting begins; The sea god and the river god appeared and began to eat fish. Then, many mythical figures came to the stage to offer many dishes and fruits, and finally the guests took part in a lively and carnival performance. This is a performance form that integrates singing, dancing, recitation and drama performance. It can be said that it is the embryonic form of ballet, and later people call it "banquet ballet". Ballet continued to develop and went through several main stages: court ballet, plot ballet, romantic ballet, Russian ballet and contemporary ballet. The Swan Lake we saw belongs to the classic Russian ballet. Swan Lake is a ballet created by Tchaikovsky, which consists of four acts and was written in 1876. This is Tchaikovsky's first dance drama, which is based on folklore. The plot is: Princess Aogueta is turned into a white swan by the devil in Swan Lake. Prince Siegfried visited Swan Lake and fell in love with Aogueta. On the night when the prince chose the bride, the devil made his daughter, Black Swan, pretend to be ogita to cheat the prince. The prince was almost deceived, and finally found out in time that he attacked the devil and killed him. The white swan returns to the princess's original shape, combines with the prince and has a happy ending.

After watching Swan Lake, I was moved by this great creation, which is a wonderful work of ballet. After watching it, I deeply realized the hardships of practicing ballet. The most important symbol of ballet is the tiptoe landing. If you don't master it well, you can completely abolish a person's foot. Therefore, every ballet dancer is great and it is not easy. We should learn to sit down and appreciate their every move. Simply learned from the Internet, the main movements that need to be trained in learning ballet are:

1. leg press: This is the most basic training material in basic dance training, including front, side and hind legs. Leg press's exercises help to open the ligaments of students' leg joints.

Second, shoulder pressing: this is a movement to open the ligament of the shoulder. When pressing the shoulder, put your arm straight on the handle. The distance between the legs is slightly equal to the shoulder width. The head and spine should be relaxed, and you can feel the shoulder ligament being stretched when you press it down.

Third, the combination of pushing the instep: the quality of the instep varies from person to person, and most of them depend on congenital factors, but we can't ignore the acquired training. Before training, move from toes to the whole instep; When training, hold the handle with both hands, hold your chest, lift your hips, and stand with your feet together, starting with an instep training.

Fourth, the combination of pole dancing training: there is a great difference between dance training and professional dance training. When doing the action combination on the handle, it is impossible to be as intense and difficult as a professional student. Only after several years of amateur training can we achieve the combination of difficulty and intensity when our own conditions can reach the professional level.
