Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Italic title Шаблон:Lang (Death and the Painter) is a ballet with singers in two acts by choreographer Bridget Breiner and composer, Michelle DiBucci. Set in 1940s France, the work concerns the creation of Шаблон:Interlanguage link (Life? Or Theater?) by the artist Charlotte Salomon (1917–1943) in 1941–1942 and her subsequent life and death in 1943 at the Drancy internment camp during The Holocaust in France.[1][2]
Composition
DiBucci originally conceived the work as an opera with a libretto by Marie and Шаблон:Interlanguage link. They were commissioned by Шаблон:Interlanguage link to develop the work for the 2010 Ruhrtriennale. When Zimmermann died in 2007, the project was put on hold.[3][4] DiBucci was next invited by choreographer Bridget Breiner to adapt the work for her ballet company, Ballet im Revier.
Performance history
The world premiere was on 14 February 2015 at Musiktheater im Revier, Gelsenkirchen, Germany with Michael Schulz as intendant.[1][5] The work was then remounted at Musiktheater im Revier in their 2015/2016 season.[1] It was conducted both times by Finnish conductor and music director Valtteri Rauhalammi, leading the Neue Philharmonie Westfalen.[1]
Critical reception
Charlotte Salomon: Der Tod und die Malerin opened to positive reviews from the German press. Dorion Weickmann from Süddeutsche Zeitung praised the work by writing, "Can this subject matter be melded into a ballet soirée? Can dance meet the demands of that fragment of history? Gelsenkirchen's ballet director Bridget Breiner, together with the composer Michelle DiBucci, answered this question with a resounding, triumphant, yes!"[6]
Bernd Aulich wrote for the Шаблон:Interlanguage link, "At Musiktheater im Revier, the spellbinding work of the New York composer, Michelle DiBucci, and the Gelsenkirchen Ballet Director, Bridget Breiner, in a celebrated premiere. Breiner and the large cast of highly motivated dancers, singers and musicians created a complex evening of exceptional intensity."[7]
Marieluise Jeitschko commented in Theater Pur, "Michelle DiBucci composed a gripping score for Breiner's ballet, with a brilliant stage set by Juergen Kirner. The Neue Philharmonie Wesphalia performed passionately under Valtteri Rauhalammi. The Ballet im Revier keeps raising its profile. All involved gained the respect of, and were celebrated by the audience attending the premiere."[8]
