WINDROSE

Eve’s Temptation

FR | 2010| 90’|HD

Pietragalla’s latest ballet has just been

acquired by Windrose.

One of the most talented dancers of our time, Marie-

Claude Pietragalla, the one who became Prima Ballerina

of the National Opera of Paris at the age of 16, is back

in Eve’s Temptation, a ballet about the history of

women over the centuries exploring the female

condition and its symbols.

From drama to burlesque…

Alone on the stage, she returns to the origins of the

world, incorporating the myths and the forces that

drive us, condition and manipulate us. Over the scenes,

the deconstruction of collective imagination from

Genesis to modern times is served by her fluent and

mastery controlled technique. She is first woman on

earth, a warrior, a housewife or a stressed working girl,

blending herself in characters she transcends with

incredible ease and an amazing talent for comedy.

With music excerpts from Lully to Daft Punk, mixing

classic, baroque or house music, words by the writers

Andrée Chedid, Marianne Favreau and Marceline

Desbordes Valmore, declaimed by the comedian Daniel

Mesguich, sublimate the eternal feminine.

With this film, Pietragalla explored both the

playgrounds in front of and behind the camera being

fully involved as dancer and choreographer as well as,

working with Julien Derouault and Antoine Vidaling, in

the editing process.

Making-of to be screened on: www.youtube.com

After a triumph across France, Eve’s Temptation is on

its way to tour the world. The film will be viewable on

streaming on TVFI’s website from October 2011.

Give in to Pietragalla’s temptation!

IMZ MEMBER NEWSARTHAUS MUSIK

Winner Of The German Record Critics Annual Award

Carlos Kleiber – Traces to nowhere (produced by Servus TV and

published on DVD by Arthaus Musik), the first film about the legendary

conductor, won the German Record Critics Annual Award 2011!

“In the artistic world there is often a thin dividing line between genius and

madness. But seldom are the peaks of euphoria they induce better

illustrated than in the case of Carlos Kleiber, son of the famous conductor

Erich Kleiber. Eric Schultz's documentary looks at all aspects of this, offering

a fascinating picture of a musician who was at once admirable and tragic. It

provides the viewer with a better insight into Kleiber's music and

interpretations – and also the extraordinary qualities that make up such an

exceptional personality – than could ever be gleaned from an opera or

concert performance.”

Jury Statement (excerpt)

The documentary, directed by Eric Schulz, follows Kleiber‘s final journey

from Munich, where he lived, to the slovenian village Konjšica. The

documentary includes interviews with friends such as Plácido

Domingo, Otto Schenk, Michael Gielen, Brigitte Fassbaender

and Otto Staindl but also his sister Veronika Kleiber. She

never wanted to talk about the things her brother did, but in

this case she made an exception: It was her first and only

interview.

The German Record Critics Annual Award is considered as

one of the most important music award in Germany and is

awarded once a year by an independent jury of leading

German music journalists.

MET OPERA RETURNS FROM HISTORIC TOUR

OF JAPAN

The Metropolitan Opera returned from its three-weeks tour of

Japan, the toast of opera lovers in Tokyo and Nagoya. Having

overcome last minute cancellations over fears of radiation from

several major stars, the Met's altered casts triumphed with

performances of Puccini’s La Bohème, Verdi’s Don Carlo and

Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. Soprano Barbara Frittoli replaced

Anna Netrebko in La Bohème, Korean tenor Yonghoon Lee replaced

Jonas Kaufmann in Don Carlo, and Rolando Villazón (in his first Met

performances after battling recent vocal problems), Marcelo Álvarez

and Alexey Dolgov combined to replace Joseph Calleja in Lucia and

La Bohème. Principal Guest Conductor Fabio Luisi led all

performances of La Bohème and Don Carlo; Gianandrea Noseda

conducted Lucia di Lammermoor.

The first major performing arts company to tour Japan since the

March earthquake, the Met gave 13 performances in all. The tour is

the company's seventh to Japan, but given the extraordinary

circumstances surrounding the

three-weeks visit, it held special

significance for both the Met and

its large Japanese audience. After

the cance l l a t ion o f some

scheduled tours by other

companies, the members of the

Met were treated like heroes by

the Japanese pub l ic , who

stopped them on streets for

autographs and showered them

w i t h a p p l a u s e a t t h e

performances. The tour also had

positive implications for Japan's

theatrical economy, offering five

weeks of employment for

approximately 100 Japanese

stage crew, all of whom have had

no work at all since 11 March.
