ginette laurin's sacre du printemps heaped with praise by critics
Ginette Laurin’s new version of le Sacre du printemps was received exceptionally well in Nancy, France, when it played to full houses at the Opéra national de Lorraine from October 23 to 29. Audiences adored the work from beginning to end, showing their appreciation with a greater degree of enthusiasm with each night. Didier Hemardinquer’s review in L’Est Républicain was unequivocal: “The Sacre du printemps is a volcano made to erupt by Stravinsky’s pulsating music. Ginette Laurin and all her performers knew how to propel the work to fiery incandescence.” (Nancy, October 25, 2011).
Originally choreographed by Vaslav Nijinski for Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets russes, the work (1910-1913) has been revitalized by such choreographers as Maurice Béjart and Pina Bausch. This special commission by the CCN – Ballet de Lorraine and the Opéra national de Lorraine, presented in collaboration with the Orchestre symphonique et lyrique de Nancy, brought together 25 dancers and 70 musicians under the baton of Tito Muñoz.
She was supported in this monumental challenge by two Québécois collaborators: Marilène Bastien for set and costume design, and François Marceau for lighting design.
