奥斯卡最佳纪录片提名影片。创舞者携观众进入编舞家大师保罗泰勒及其创作的一段惊心旅程。从行云流水的‘光环’,原始狂野的‘偶蹄国度’到优雅隽永的’海滨游乐场’, 泰勒一直活跃在20世纪现代舞的最前线。 犹如惊鸿一瞥,本片呈现了探戈风格的’Piazzolla Caldera’ 从初期探索到纽约成功首演的一副创作编年史。 本片还包含了泰勒作为舞者早年在玛莎葛兰姆舞团的珍贵影像资料。总而言之,创舞者是对创作生活的神秘,舞者的材赋与专注,以及艺术家天才灵魂一次独一无二的探索。 Nominated for an Oscar, Dancemaker is a breathtaking journey into the world of preeminent choreographer, Paul Taylor, and his extraordi nary creations. From the fluid Aureole to the primal Cloven Kingdom and graceful Esplanade, Taylor has remained at the forefront of 20th century modern dance. Offering a rare glimpse inside the creative collaboration between the master and his hardworking troupe, Dancemaker chronicles the evolution of the fiery, tango-derived Piazzolla Caldera from its first tentative steps through its triumphant New York City premiere. Filled with magnificent archival footage from Taylor's early years as a featured dancer for the Martha Graham Dance Company, and inspired performances from his troupe, Dancemaker is a unique exploration of the mysteries of creative life, the obsession and talent of the dancers, and the mind of an artistic genius.

该剧发生在古代锡兰海岸(今斯里兰卡),讲述了爱情与友谊的故事。纳迪尔和祖尔加是一对好朋友,他们发誓绝不让爱情破坏兄弟情谊。此时,一个神秘的女祭司来到锡兰。祖尔加爱上了她,但纳迪尔发现她正是长期失散的爱人莱伊娜。纳迪尔倍受煎熬,要在毕生所爱和友谊誓言之间做出抉择。纳迪尔和 莱伊娜屈服被抓,祖尔加妒火中烧,想借机处死二人。在最后时刻,祖尔加幡然悔悟,烧毁村庄,牺牲自己放走了纳迪尔和莱伊娜。 ----- Bizet’s Les Pêcheurs de perles, set in Sri Lanka, is known above all for its unforgettable duet for tenor and baritone, but it its score is full of delightful and dramatic music. When recently staged at the Metropolitan Opera in New York it proved a major success, both for the production by Penny Woolcock and the musical performance, conducted by Paolo Noseda, with (once again) Diana Damrau as the priestess Leïla and, as the two men competing for love, the tenor Matthew Polenzani (Nadir) and the baritone Mariusz Kwiecien (Zurga). Woolcock’s concept brought the production up to date, with photographic and video references to the 2004 tsunami, and offered a superb ‘aquatic’ spectacle during the overture: the whole stage appeared to be beneath the Indian Ocean and acrobatic divers ‘swam’ down from the surface (located in the flies of the theatre). ----- The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus Gianandrea Noseda, Penny Woolcock (dir.) Diana Damrau (Leïla), Matthew Polenzani (Nadir), Mariusz Kwiecien (Zurga), Nicolas Teste (Nourabad)

Characters Conrad -- Captain of the corsair ship Ali -- Conrad's slave Birbanto -- First mate, and Conrad's friend Lankendem -- Slave dealer Medora -- the beautiful slave girl Gulnare -- Medora's friend Seyd -- A Turkish Pasha Prologue A pirate ship, manned by Conrad, his slave Ali, and his friend Birbanto, sails toward Turkey. Act I The Bazaar Dealers and buyers fill a noisy bazaar where slave girls are being traded. Conrad and his men arrive where Lankendem, the owner of the bazaar, is selling girls. Conrad sees Medora, a slave girl, and falls immediately in love. Seyd, a Pasha, arrives on the scene amidst much fanfare. Lankendem presents three young women, who dance a Pas de Trois Classique (the Grand Pas de Trois des Odalisques) whom the Pasha rejects. Lankendem then presents Gulnare, a lovely slave girl, and together Gulnare and Lankendem dance a Pas d'action (the Pas d'Esclave). The Pasha buys her. Lankendem then presents a young slave girl, Medora, and everyone is entranced by her beauty. The Pasha buys her. Conrad instructs the slave to steal Medora back and the corsairs raid the village and kidnap Lankendem. Act II The Grotto Conrad shows Medora his cave filled with treasure. Birbanto calls all the corsairs to bring in their stolen bounty to the grotto, as well as the slave girls and Lankendem. Medora, Conrad, and the slave Ali dance a Grand Pas Classique (the Grand Pas de Deux à Trois or Le Corsaire Pas de Deux). Afterward, Medora entreats Conrad, in the name of their love, to free all the slave girls. He agrees, but Birbanto rebels against the idea and instead persuades the pirates to riot against Conrad. By the force of Conrad's commanding personality and physical presence, he single-handedly instills terror into the hearts of the corsairs and they abandon their mutinous plan. Not to be thwarted, Birbanto devises a new scheme. He sprays a rose with a sleeping potion and forces Lankendem to help him pass the flower to Medora, who unwittingly gives it to Conrad. He inhales its aroma and falls into a drugged sleep. The corsairs return to the grotto and attempt to capture Medora. While struggling, she snatches a dagger and cuts Birbanto's arm. In the confusion, Lankendem steals Medora back and escapes. Birbanto is about to kill Conrad but is interrupted by the slave. Stunned and broken-hearted, Conrad discovers Medora missing. Birbanto feigns ignorance and swears his loyalty to Conrad. Act III Scene 1: The Pasha's Palace The playful Gulnare is interrupted by Lankendem bringing a veiled Medora. The Pasha is delighted that Medora has been recaptured. Scene 2: Le Jardin Animé' (The Animated Garden) The Pasha then decides to take a nap. He dreams of all of the beautiful women of his harem dancing in an enchanted flower garden. The woman dance a Grand Ballabile. Scene 3: The Pasha's Palace Conrad and his party arrive at the palace in disguise, waking the governor. Once inside, the maurauders attack the Pasha and his guards. After the residents flee, Medora names Birbanto as the traitor and Conrad kills him. Conrad, Ali, Medora and Gulnare all escape to the Corsaire ship. Scene 4: The Storm The corsair ship sails upon a calm sea. Conrad, at the helm, cradles Medora in his arms. Suddenly a fierce storm blows across as lightning illuminates the darkening sky. Gusting winds shred the sails and a lightning bolt snaps the ship's mast in half. The ship sinks amidst the relentless, turbulent waters. Epilogue As the wind subsides and the sea calms itself, the moon rises in the sky. It sheds light upon Conrad and Medora, clinging to a rock and offering thanks for their miraculous survival, a testimony to the strength of their love.
