A Hero of Our Time
April 23, 2017, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
$13 – $15The new ballet score, based on motifs from the Lermontov novel A Hero of Our Time, was commissioned from the very young (32-year-old) Peresburg composer Ilya Demutsky who, though not averse to experiments, keeps to a fairly traditional musical language. However his acute interest in contemporary topics which finds reflection in his music, and his outlook immediately indicated that the ballet version of Lermontov’s Pechorin would in no way be a younger brother to the ‘Byronic’ Conrad in Le Corsaire.
Performed by the Bolshoi Ballet, this presentation is an encore high-definition broadcast from April 9. The running time is 2:45, including one intermission.
