This new series opens with Richard Alston's Pulcinella performed by Rambert Dance Company
Music Igor Stravinsky
Designer Howard Hodgkin
Pulcinella is set in Naples. The story features two pairs of bored lovers, an awfully sudden 'death', a handful of ghosts and at the centre of it, the quick-witted Pulcinella and his long-suffering wife, Pimpinella.
Pulcinella was commissioned by Diaghilev for his Ballet Russe in 1920, and has a score by Igor Stravinsky. For his version, Richard Alston asked English painter Howard Hodgkin to design sets and costumes.
(Original ballet production sponsored by National Westminster Bank)
The Lords and Ladies of Little Egypt
When the Gypsies left their native northern India, some as long ago as the tenth century, they took their music with them and, as they travelled, they adapted the music of the many countries they passed through or settled in. As a result, Gypsy music today is rich and varied but wherever its home, its heart remains the same. Rhythms of the World presents a galaxy of Gypsy styles from France to India with the thrilling pop flamenco of the Gypsy Kings from the south of France, percussion from
Hassan Erraji (Morocco), romantic songs from Odjila
(Yugoslavia), Hindi music and dance from Naqqals (India), traditional music from Kalyi Jag (Hungary) and classic Spanish flamenco from La Negra.
