SHADES OF SPRING
The ballet itself is a showpiece, essentially a series of virtuoso displays in the classical tradition – solos, duets, and ensemble dances, celebrating each of the remarkable ballerinas Ashton choreographed on. As the ballet opens, all seven couples make a majestic entrance onto the stage, confident, aristocratic, and poised, as they sweep formally across the floor. At the heart of Birthday Offering lies its pas de deux, originally created for Ashton’s muses, Margot Fonteyn and Michael Somes, which is given tender expression by Glazunov’s ravishing cello solo. The ballet ends in a grand finale, danced by the entire company in a formal celebration.
BIRTHDAY OFFERING
ABOUT THE PROGRAM PROGRAM NOTES
Everything about Birthday Offering honors this intentional homage to the Russian Imperial Ballet. Ashton’s choice of Glazunov’s grandly lyrical and distinctively Russian music is matched by Levasseur’s elegant décor, and together harken back to the grand courts presented in Petipa’s ballets The Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake.
Shades of Spring is a World Premiere by internationally renowned choreographer Jessica Lang. The ballet is a collaborative endeavor, which is often an entry point for Lang’s creative ventures. Fusing striking visual art by Roxane Revon and costume design by Jillian Lewis, Lang’s remarkable vision creates an extraordinary stage environment for her choreography to exist within and become transformed by The Sarasota Ballet’s dancers.
Lang, Revon, and Lewis have found their inspiration from plant roots and the natural world. Plants gain strength from being connected to each other as their roots intertwine into a connectedness that allows them to nourish and support each other. Translating this idea into ballet brings forward a classical system that is rooted in custom, foundational movement vocabulary with reverence to the past and it is necessary to use the roots of this system to nourish the growth of this art form into new territories of expression.
Sir Frederick Ashton also choreographed the ballet as a tribute to the company’s founder, Dame Ninette de Valois, in the Russian Imperial style of Marius Petipa.
Performed to the Composer Joseph Haydn’s selected piano trios, audiences will be intrigued by the visual experience bringing consideration of how human energy and movement affects the plant life we coexist with. One of Lang’s favorite moments in creation is to observe her dancers in their most natural, human state of self in practice. Lewis’ costumes are a combination of their everyday attire while paying homage to iconic classical ballet costuming.
Birthday Offering was created to celebrate the Sadler’s Wells Ballet’s 25th anniversary and its transformation through Royal Charter into The Royal Ballet.
Varii Capricci premiered as a part of the 1983 Britain Salutes New York Festival at the Metropolitan Opera House. The Met had insisted that the planned Royal Ballet season must feature a new work by choreographer Sir Frederick Ashton, so a ballet that he had been working on to cheer up his dear friend, Sir William Walton, was quickly completed to premiere in New York. The original performances included a lavish backdrop of primitivist trees and sunlit swimming pool by esteemed artist David Hockney, inspired by the tropical garden at Walton’s home on the island of Ischia, and were paired with costume designs by Ossie Clark which were uneven in their effect. The ballet amusingly subverted stateside expectations of the refined, reticent English classicism that Ashton and The Royal Ballet represented. A strutting, sashaying gigolo in satin suit, shades, and quiff (Lo Straniero) makes love to La Capricciosa, the elegant hostess of a poolside party at her villa, while her guests enjoy themselves. The New York audience certainly enjoyed the sight of the princely Anthony Dowell as a poolside gigolo to Antoinette Sibley’s Capricciosa, both a long way from their famous partnering as Ashton’s Oberon and Titania. Walton would sadly pass away before the ballet’s premiere, shortly after making changes and reorchestrating the score’s fifth movement at Ashton’s request. While critics loved the ballet, with Anna Kisselgoff of The New York Times writing “it is that rare ballet bird – a self-parody and an honorable parody of The Royal Ballet’s own traditions,” Varii Capricci never truly entered the company’s repertoire, receiving its only Covent Garden performance in July of 1983. However, in January 2019, The Sarasota Ballet, together with repetiteur and notator Grant Coyle, revived the ballet with projection and lighting inspired by Hockney’s backdrop, and redesigned corps costumes that better complimented the original principal couple’s designs. Through collaboration with conductor Barry Wordsworth, John Beadle, and The Royal Ballet Sinfonia, the Company commissioned the first and only recording of Walton’s revised fifth movement.
This is Lang’s first creation on The Sarasota Ballet. On her experience with the company, Lang remarks that “working with Iain Webb and The Sarasota Ballet, and having the privilege of discovering and uncovering the beauty of this company with my artistic vision has been truly special. Having the opportunity to delve into this artistic exploration with artists I respect and admire is valuable and together we hope our audiences will be inspired.”

VARII CAPRICCI
ABOUT THE CHOREOGRAPHERS
A Tragedy of Fashion (in which he danced alongside Marie Rambert) was followed by further choreographies (Capriol Suite, Façade) until in 1935 he accepted Dame Ninette de Valois’ invitation to join her Vic-Wells Ballet as Dancer and Choreographer, his principal loyalty remaining with what would become the Sadler’s Wells and ultimately The Royal Ballet. Besides his pre-war ballets at Sadler’s Wells (which demonstrated an increasing authority, with larger resources), Ashton choreographed for revues and musicals. His career would also embrace opera, film, and international commissions, creating ballets in New York, Monte Carlo, Paris, Copenhagen, and Milan. During the War, he served in the RAF (1941-1945) before creating Symphonic Variations for the Sadler’s Wells Ballet’s 1946 season in its new home at Covent Garden, affirming a new spirit of classicism and modernity in English postwar ballet. During the next two decades, Ashton’s ballets, often created around the talents of particular dancers, included: Scènes de ballet, Cinderella (1948), in which Ashton and Robert Helpmann famously played the Ugly Sisters, Daphnis and Chloe (1951), Romeo and Juliet (1955), and Ondine (1958). He created La Fille mal Gardée (1960) for Nadia Nerina and David Blair, The Two Pigeons (1961) for Lynn Seymour and Christopher Gable, Marguerite and Armand (1963) for Dame Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev, and The Dream (1964) for Dame Antoinette Sibley and Sir Anthony AppointedDowell.Associate Director of The Royal Ballet in 1952, Ashton succeeded Dame Ninette de Valois as Director from 1963 to 1970, and under his direction the company rose to new heights, while his choreographic career continued with Monotones II (1965), Jazz Calendar, Enigma Variations (1968), A Month in the Country (1976), and the popular film success The Tales of Beatrix Potter (1971) in which he performed the role of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle. He was knighted in 1962. Named Founder Choreographer of The Royal Ballet, Sir Frederick Ashton died in 1988. His ballets, which remain in the international repertory undiminished, show a remarkable versatility, a lyrical and highly sensitive musicality. He had an equal facility for recreating historical ballets and creating new works. If any single artist can be said to have formulated a native English classical ballet style and developed it over a lifetime, it is Sir Frederick Ashton.
SIR FREDERICK ASHTON (Choreographer) (1904-1988) was born in Ecuador in 1904 and determined to become a dancer after seeing Anna Pavlova dance in 1917 in Lima, Peru. Arriving in London, he studied with Léonide Massine and later with Dame Marie Rambert (who encouraged his first ventures in choreography) as well as dancing briefly in Ida Rubinstein’s company (1928-1929).
JESSICA LANG (Choreographer) is an American director and choreographer based in NYC. Since 1999, Lang has created more than 100 original works on companies worldwide including American Ballet Theatre, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet, the National Ballet of Japan, The Joffrey Ballet, and her eponymous company Jessica Lang Dance.
For over two decades, Lang has worked extensively for American Ballet Theatre. Her creations on the main company include Her Notes, Garden Blue, and ZigZag with the legendary Tony Bennett, as well as Let Me Sing Forevermore which was featured on the ABT Across America nationwide tour and Celebrity Cruise entertainment programs. Lang has created seven ballets on ABT Studio Company, was part of the founding faculty of the JKO School, and a teaching artist and mentor for the company’s educational programs.
For opera, Lang directed and choreographed Pergolesi's Stabat Mater at Glimmerglass Opera Festival that was presented at Lincoln Center’s White Light Festival in 2017. She choreographed San Francisco Opera's 2016 production of Aida that was presented at Washington National Opera, Seattle Opera, and LA Opera. Additional commissions include creations for the Kennedy Center with the NSO, The Harris Theater and Chicago Architecture Biennial, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Guggenheim Museum. For fashion, Lang was the movement advisor for Carolina Herrera's Pre-Fall 2022 collection.
Lang was Artistic Director of Jessica Lang Dance from 2011-2019. The company toured to over 85 cities presented by major venues including Lincoln Center, LA Music Center, The Harris Theater, NY City Center, Tel Aviv Opera House, Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, BAM Fisher, and Helikon Opera.
Lang, a graduate of The Juilliard School under the direction of Benjamin Harkarvy, is a former member of Twyla Tharp's company, THARP!. She is the recipient of a 2018 Martha Hill Mid-Career Award, 2017 Arison Award, and 2014 Bessie Award. She has been a fellow of NY City Center and NYU’s Center for Ballet and the Arts, and named 2019 Caroline Hearst Choreographer-in-Residence at Princeton University.

WHO'S WHO IN THE COMPANY
WHO'S WHO IN THE COMPANY
In July 2007 Webb took over the directorship of The Sarasota Ballet, and over the past fifteen years has introduced 163 ballets and divertissements to the Company’s repertoire. Receiving national and international recognition for its diverse repertoire of rarely performed ballets, The Sarasota Ballet received rave reviews during their Sir Frederick Ashton Festival, which highlighted 14 of the famed choreographer’s ballets and divertissements in four days.

JOSEPH VOLPE (Executive Director), retired General Manager of The Metropolitan Opera and theater and management consultant, was appointed Executive Director of The Sarasota Ballet in February 2016. Volpe first joined the Board of The Sarasota Ballet in 2014 after a long history in the world of the performing arts. He spent 42 years working at The Metropolitan Opera rising from Apprentice Carpenter to General Manager from 1990 to 2006. In that role Volpe expanded the length of The Met repertory season as well as the number of new productions, including four world premieres, 22 Met premieres, four commissions, and expanded international touring activities. His term was characterized by sound fiscal management, fresh customer service initiatives, and no contract disputes for over three decades of his leadership in contract negotiations. He conceived and developed “Met Titles,” an innovative titling system providing multilingual translations of the operas on the backs of each seat, visible only to the individual audience member who wished to utilize them, and initiated the development of Tessitura, a management software program for targeted marketing and fundraising appeals, which is now licensed to more than 200 companies worldwide. In 1998, Volpe instituted an education outreach project for young children in cooperation with the City of New York Department of Education emphasizing direct experience with music and opera for students. He also established a partnership with the University of Connecticut that provides students from music and drama departments with behind-the-scenes access to the creative and technical processes that bring the opera to life on The Met stage. Volpe retired from The Met in July of 2006, leaving the company with a strong administration, an endowment fund that had increased from $100 million to $345 million and exceptional artistic plans for the future. Since that time, Volpe has acted as Senior Consultant for Hudson Scenic Studios advising on all aspects of management, labor negotiation, and strategic planning and heads The Volpe Group, Ltd, his own theater and management consulting firm. Volpe is the author of The Toughest Show on Earth, My Rise, and Reign at The Metropolitan Opera, published by Random House in 2006.

Many Thanks to The Joyce's Institutional Funders for Keeping Us Moving Forward
Major support for The Joyce's operations and special projects: Lead corporate support: The Joyce Theater Foundation ("The Joyce," Executive Director, Linda Shelton), a nonprofit organization, has proudly served the dance community for over three decades. Under the direction of founders Cora Cahan and Eliot Feld, Ballet Tech Foundation acquired and The Joyce renovated the Elgin Theater in Chelsea. Opening as The Joyce Theater in 1982, it was named in honor of Joyce Mertz, beloved daughter of LuEsther T. Mertz. It was LuEsther’s clear, undaunted vision and abundant generosity that made it imaginable and ultimately possible to build the theater. Ownership was secured by The Joyce in 2015. The theater is one of the only theaters built by dancers for dance and has provided an intimate and elegant home for over 400 U.S.-based and international companies. The Joyce has also expanded its reach beyond its Chelsea home through off-site presentations at venues ranging in scope from Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, to Brooklyn’s Invisible Dog Art Center, and to outdoor programming in spaces such as Hudson River Park. To further support the creation of new work, The Joyce maintains longstanding commissioning and residency programs. Local students and teachers (K–12th grade) benefit from its school program, and family and adult audiences get closer to dance with access to artists. The Joyce’s annual season of about 48 weeks of dance now includes over 340 performances for audiences in excess of 150,000 patrons. Visit Joyce.org for more information.
