For this year's summer performance, we composed an anthology of five short pieces with kind collaboration of Mr. Alfred Rodrigues, Mr. Frand Andersen. We hope to make sure that these repertoires would be deeply inlaid into the tradition of our Ballet theatre, and conveyed to the coming Century.
I deeply thank people who have come all the way from abroad to join us and give us great encouragement and assistance.
I am very happy and hornoured to present tonight's programme to our audience.
This production is realized by the cooperation of many people.
Mr. Alfred Rodrigues has worked several times with us. He kindly accepted to come again to re-stage his two wonderful ballets.
Mr. Frank Andersen first came to dance in our 42nd production in 1984. Since then, as artistic director of the Royal Danish Ballet, he has always been helpful with us. He introduces nice dancers, he himself comes to teach Bournonville repertoires tonight. To perform full length LA SYLPHIDE is now a big dream for our company. He introduced two young, talented dncers, Jan-Erik Wikstrom and Jens Rosen.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to all who help us to realize this production and I hope very much you enjoy our performance.
