CHOREOGRAPH OVERCOMES A SCENARIST: THE COAST OF HOPE BALLET
Abstract
The article is devoted to the history of the creation of the ballet The Coast of Hope (Theater named after S. M. Kirov, premiered on June 16, 1959). This ballet fnally defned the border, the transition of the Soviet ballet to a new aesthetic quality after the end of the choreodramatic stage. The choreographer Belsky created the play as a generalized symbolic canvas. The libretto was based on the story of a random fellow traveler, a sailor, overheard at night in a train interpreted by Yu. Slonimsky, and the ballet music was written by composer A. Petrov. Describing the complex history of creating ballet, the author explains the difcult system of creative interaction in the creation of a synthetic stage genre, which includes a literary story, choreography and music.
