[Featuring] The Norwegian Ballet
A series of Biblical pictures devised by Ivo Cramer to music by Handel and Gluck.
This 'series of Biblical pictures' depicts the manger, Herod raging in his palace, the slaughter of the Innocents, the flight into Egypt, and later the Sermon on the Mount, the betrayal, Peter's denial, and the climax of Golgotha.
Two of the most remarkable and contrasted roles, those of Herod (pictured above) and of John the Apostle, are danced by Ivo Cramer, choreographer of The Message and a former pupil of Kurt Jooss. The company comes to London from Oslo specially for this performance, and this will be their first television appearance in this country.
