Rambert (known as Rambert Dance Company before 2014) is a leading British dance company. Formed at the start of the 20th century as a classical ballet company, it exerted a great deal of influence on the development of dance in the United Kingdom, and today, as a contemporary dance company, continues to be one of the world's most renowned dance companies. It has previously been known as the Ballet Club, and the Ballet Rambert.

 

Pulcinella is a one-act ballet by Igor Stravinsky based on an 18th-century play, Quatre Polichinelles semblables ("Four identical Pulcinellas"). Pulcinella is a stock character originating from commedia dell'arte.

The ballet premiered at the Paris Opera on 15 May 1920 under the baton of Ernest Ansermet. The dancer Léonide Massine created both the libretto and choreography, and Pablo Picasso designed the original costumes and sets. The ballet was commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev, impresario of the Ballets Russes.

A performance of the work typically lasts 35 minutes. The ballet score was revised by Stravinsky in 1965.

*IGOR STRAVINSKY: PULCINELLA

CHOREOGRAPHY: RICHARD ALSTON
Ballet with song in one act

The original version of PULCINELLA
was choreographed by Massine with
designs by Picasso in 1920. Like the
original, Richard Alston's greatly-admired
version of the complicated
love-story has a Neapolitan setting and Is
based on traditional Commedia
dell'Arte characters.

" costumes are simple and to the point...
the set, designed here by Howard Hodgkin,
creates a colourful backdrop, which
enhances without complicating, and the
dancers are suitably lithe and athletic"
THE INDEPENDENT

Pulcinella - Christopher Carney

Pimpinella - Amanda Britton

 

*IGOR STRAVINSKY: SOLDAT

CHOREOGRAPHY: ASHLEY PAGE
Ballet in one act

British choreographer, Ashley Page,
used the suite from Stravinsky's
L'Histoire du Soldat for his ballet,
SOLDAT - the traditional folk tale of the soldier
and the devil in a battle of wits for
the soldier's soul.

"A fluent and theatrically striking work"
THE SUNDAY TIMES

"An immediate pleasure comes
from the unity between dance, music and
design, which speak with the same clear voice"
THE SUNDAY TIMES

The Devil - Gary Lambert
The Soldier - Glenn Wilkinson
The Princess - Amanda Britton
