About Ballet West

From Balanchine to Bournonville, Petipa to Tharp, Ballet West boasts a rich and varied repertoire, elegant and versatile artists, and an American style and legacy that is as dynamic, expansive, and as unexpected as the Rocky Mountain region it represents. From its humble beginnings in 1963 as the only professional ballet company between Chicago and the West Coast, Ballet West has grown into one of America’s leading ballet companies. For 60 years, the Salt Lake City-based Company has entertained and excited audiences in Utah and worldwide by presenting the great classical story ballets, including America’s first and longest-running version of The Nutcracker, revivals of rarelyseen historical masterpieces, works by some of the world’s most renowned artists, and new cutting-edge creations by emerging choreographers. The Company also regularly tours both nationally and internationally.

Ballet West was established in Salt Lake City by co-founders Willam F. Christensen, often called the “Godfather of American ballet,” and Utah’s “First Lady of the Arts,” Glenn Walker Wallace. In 1951, Christensen established the first ballet department in an American university at The University of Utah. Over time, this program grew into the Utah Civic Ballet, Ballet West’s first incarnation. Prior to that, along with his brothers, Lew and Harold, Christensen made history by establishing the oldest full-ballet company in the western United States, the San Francisco Ballet.

Since its inception, Ballet West has had five artistic directors, who have each helped build the Company’s unique and expansive profile – its founder, Willam Christensen, Bruce Marks, John Hart CBE, Jonas Kåge, and for the past 17 years, Adam Sklute, who has overseen the artistic product for the longest sustained growth of the Company since its founding. Ballet West continues to grow and evolve with 39 company members, 14 second company members, a thriving Academy, and one of the world’s largest ballet-based Education and Outreach programs, reaching over 140,000 children and adults throughout Utah and the Intermountain Region every year.

The Frederick Q. Lawson Ballet West (BW) Academy builds future ballet and dance artists and audiences by providing training in classical ballet, flamenco, character, contemporary, hip-hop, jazz, and theatrical dance training. The BW Academy has nearly 1,000 students between its four campuses - Salt Lake City, Trolley Corners, Park City, and Utah County. With newlyrenovated student housing, the BW Academy is home to local, national, and international ballet students, with more than 50% of BW Academy students joining Ballet West.

With this eclectic and ever-expanding outlook, Ballet West is truly an American pioneer in dance. By honoring the history and traditions of our great artform, while constantly moving forward with new and untried concepts, we continue to keep ballet in Utah and the world alive and thriving into the future.

From the Artistic Director

Welcome to the opening of Ballet West’s 61st season and our premiere of Val Caniparoli’s Jekyll & Hyde.

This dark, complex, psychological thriller is based on Robert Lewis Stevenson’s novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. The story tells the tale of a young scientist, Dr Jekyll, who believes he can help humanity if he can find a way to separate humankind’s highest and noblest nature from their basest and darkest instincts, in effect, severing the duality of good and bad that is a part of all of us. Jekyll creates a potion which he takes himself to experiment, leaving a disastrous effect. He transforms into the “alter-ego” of Mr. Hyde, a debauched man/creature filled with violence and desire. From that point on, the story follows Hyde as he wreaks havoc on London, while desperately trying to regain control over his own body. In Caniparoli’s re-telling, the author Robert Lewis Stevenson tries to guide his two main characters, while simultaneously being over taken by them.

A few years back, Caniparoli came to me and a number of other directors with his idea for a ballet version of this famous story and we were all fascinated by the concept. Many questions arose, such as how to create a live ballet production that shows a single character as two completely different, polar opposite entities. We wondered how to create a large-scale classical ballet from a story that does not have any active leading women characters? We wondered what would the score be, as well as a whole host of production and logistical issues.

Caniparoli is a savvy theater artist, so he, along with his team, created a brilliant libretto which casts two separate individuals as the title characters, with each one acting out the extremes of this complex individual’s nature. Caniparoli creates two leading women characters, both referenced in the novel but never a part of the action; Nellie Carew, Dr. Jekyll’s fiancé, who becomes a character both loved by Jekyll and terrorized by Hyde; and a young novice, prostitute Rowena - enamored of Jekyll and later becomes the focus of Mr. Hyde’s unwanted attention. These characters expand the theatrical layers for telling this cerebral tale through dance. The entire ballet is framed by the on-going presence of the author, Robert Lewis Stevenson, who is the driving force of the action and then becomes a part of it as he endeavors in his own ailing and drug addled state to control the mayhem his split personality creation is wreaking on the world.

Building the score was another interesting creative challenge. When one is creating a new work, there is usually either an existing piece of music that is the impetus for the ballet, or a composer is commissioned to invent a brand-new score based on the choreographer’s ideas. In this instance, Caniparoli worked with his musical arranger, who compiled an elegant and intricate patchwork quilt of different pieces by several composers ranging from the romantic strains of Frederic Chopin to the intense music of Wojciech Kilar (composer for the 1992 movie Bram Stoker’s Dracula), and the driving minimalism of Krzysztof Penderecki, to name a few. Interestingly, all the composers used are Polish. Their music is played by our Ballet West Orchestra, solo piano, and in

From the Artistic Director

places presented through recording. The result is a multi-layered score that propels the action of this 19th-century story forward in dramatic ways, both classic and contemporary.

Similarly, the set and costumes as designed by the brilliant, Tony-award nominated David Israel Reynoso, showing the contemporary and completely evocative nature of the period. In keeping with Caniparoli’s expressionistic approach, the production expands the realms of each scene, placing the action at times in a realistic setting that then morphs into hallucination.

Building a new full-length story ballet is a huge and multi-faceted undertaking. It can be risky, which is why it is done so rarely these days. It is exciting to produce, and I am thrilled to introduce our community to this new and very adult production. I am deeply committed to presenting audiences with the broadest range of works every season. With Jekyll and Hyde designed for our more mature audiences, we hope you will return and bring your entire families beginning in late November with Pictures at an Exhibition, a trio of elegant masterpieces of art, dance, and music; in December the 80th Anniversary run of our founder, Mr. C’s beloved 1944 classic The Nutcracker; February brings our revival of Sir Frederick Ashton’s charming and renowned Cinderella, this season unveiling brand new sets and costumes; in April introduce young ones to ballet with our Family Classics Series story of Aladdin; and later that month with The Rite of Spring, experience three unique, moving, and powerful ballets showing the range and scope of legendary composer Igor Stravinsky; ending in May with a program of all world premiere ballets created exclusively by our Ballet West dancers – Works from Within.

Our 61st season is one of the broadest and most diverse seasons Ballet West has ever produced and it is stretching the dancers’ abilities as artists, athletes, creators. We hope that you enjoy it all!

Adam Sklute Artistic Director Ballet West

Since 2007, Adam Sklute has expanded Ballet West’s outlook, repertoire, and visibility with exciting Company and world premieres, increased touring, heightened public exposure, and greater focus on the Ballet West Academy. He began his career with The Joffrey Ballet, rising through the ranks from dancer to Associate Director. His stewardship of Ballet West has been marked by both financial growth and elevated artistry, and was the subject of The CW Network’s docu-drama, Breaking Pointe, which aired for two seasons. From September 2016 to October 2017, Sklute took on the dual position of CEO and Artistic Director, overseeing both administrative and artistic operations of Ballet West. An internationally sought-after teacher and adjudicator, Sklute has received numerous awards, including Utah’s Enlightened 50 (2014), The Bronze Minuteman Award for Outstanding Service to Utah and The Nation (2015), and Utah Diversity Connection’s Business Award for outstanding commitment to diversity initiatives. Most recently, Sklute was included in Deseret Magazine’s 25 Changemakers of the West for his efforts to build greater equity and inclusion in classical ballet.

From the Executive Director

While it seems as if our highly successful 60th anniversary closed only moments ago, the summer months are now behind us as we open the new performance season with the Utah premiere of Val Caniparoli’s Jekyll & Hyde. Originally created for the Finnish National Ballet, Jekyll & Hyde is an intense psychological drama brilliantly set to dance and music, complete with extraordinary sets and costumes. Ballet West is only the third company to present Jekyll & Hyde in this country, having been part of a consortium formed to share the costs of importing the ballet from Helsinki. We are excited to introduce this new, full-length ballet to our repertoire, continuing our commitment to expanding our audiences by presenting cutting-edge new work that not only challenge you, our loyal patrons, but our dancers as well.

Immediately following Jekyll & Hyde is a triple bill of works by arguably three of the most prolific and talented choreographers who created dance in the last 100 years: George Balanchine, Alexei Ratmansky, and Christopher Wheeldon. Our audiences are no strangers to the works of Mr. B, as he is affectionately known, and we are excited to have Utah experience, for the first time, Ratmansky’s and Wheeldon’s choreographic genius. If you haven’t subscribed to our season, you might just want to reconsider in order to have access to the best seats in the house!

I would also like to call your attention to our recently issued Annual Report for the 2023-2024 season, which can be found on our website: https://www.balletwest. org/company/publications. I have spoken in previous playbill letters about the successes of the 60th season and this Annual Report will outline for you the amazing accomplishments of our Company in a beautiful presentation full of photos and facts for your reading pleasure.

This month, as I celebrate my seventh anniversary with Ballet West, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible support and friendship our audiences and donors have bestowed upon this truly extraordinary Company. Looking back at how far we have come fills me with pride knowing that you played a key role in our transformation with your generosity. You stood by us during the dark days of the pandemic and rallied behind us, enabling us to emerge stronger and more relevant than ever. I am deeply grateful to all of you!

The future is certainly bright for Ballet West, and I hope you will continue to join us on this journey with your love, support, and friendship.

Warm regards,

Michael Scolamiero Executive Director

Ballet in two acts based on the novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

“He went down to the cellar to fetch a bottle of his favorite burgundy, uncorked it in the kitchen, and suddenly cried out to his wife: ‘What’s the matter with me, what is this strangeness, has my face changed?’ —and fell on the floor. A blood vessel had burst in his brain and it was all over in a couple of hours.”

Vladimir Nabakov on the death of Robert Louis Stevenson

ACT I

Prologue: Stevenson’s Dream

Robert Louis Stevenson is lying in bed, ill and feverish, wrestling with a painful lung condition. He tries to write but is unable to concentrate. His nurse, Alison Cunningham, administers his nightly injection of opium to relieve the pain. As the drug begins to take effect, a sense of euphoria comes over Stevenson. An image begins to evolve in his mind of a respectable and upright man wrestling with his own dark impulses. In Stevenson’s imagination, this is Dr. Jekyll who arrives. In his laboratory, he begins working on dangerous experiments that seek to explore the dual personality inside every human being. Stevenson slumps into sleep and in his nightmares, the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde emerges.

Scene 1: The Insane Asylum

The asylum is filled with mental patients, dominated by an intimidating Head Nurse. Dr. Jekyll and his colleague Dr. Lanyon enter the room arguing about Jekyll’s latest experiments into human personality, which Lanyon describes as “scientific balderdash.” Some wealthy benefactors have been invited to watch Jekyll demonstrate his treatment of mental illness in an effort to generate funds to further his work, but his efforts are a failure. Jekyll retreats in despair.

Scene 2: Dr. Jekyll’s

Laboratory

Alone and dejected, Dr. Jekyll struggles with how to move his experiments forward. He returns to his laboratory and decides to experiment on himself. He creates and then ingests a dangerous potion designed to bring out what is hidden in his innermost consciousness. At the same time Stevenson takes more opium and we catch a glimpse of Mr. Hyde, the embodiment of evil that is within Jekyll, waiting to emerge. For a moment both Jekyll and Stevenson sense Hyde’s presence, but almost immediately, the feeling slips away. Has the experiment failed? In his frustration, Jekyll realizes that he’s late for Sir Danvers Carew’s social gathering.

Scene 3: The Street

Dr. Jekyll rushes through the rain-soaked night landscape of London towards Dr. Carew’s house. He can’t escape the feeling of Mr. Hyde within him.

Scene 4: Sir Danvers Carew’s Estate

We find ourselves at the home of Sir Danvers Carew filled with guests–Dr. Jekyll's employer, Dr. Lanyon and his wife, along with their colleagues. Dr.

Jekyll arrives and is greeted by Sir Danvers, Mrs. Carew and their daughter, Jekyll’s fiancée – Nellie Carew. Nellie gives Jekyll the gift of an ornate cane and they begin an intimate conversation, but he is distracted, his mind still on his failed experiment. Carew invites his male guests to escape with him to Deacon Brodie’s Tavern for the rest of the evening.

Scene 5: Deacon Brodie’s Tavern

The men arrive at a bustling tavern, full of prostitutes, drugs and danger. Deacon Brody escorts in a young, novice prostitute named Rowena. When Brodie behaves badly towards Rowena, Dr. Jekyll tries to intervene to protect her. She is smitten by him. But as his libido rises, Jekyll becomes aggressive towards Rowena. Realizing that the potion has been successful and that Mr. Hyde, his “other self” is emerging, he grabs his coat and cane and attempts to flee. Rowena follows him from a distance.

Scene 6: The Street and Dr. Jekyll’s Hallucination

As Dr. Jekyll moves towards his house, Rowena trails behind him in the darkness. She sees Jekyll enter through a red door, the entrance to his laboratory and soon to become a portal to mayhem and destruction. Robert Lewis-Stevenson unleashes the evil of Mr. Hyde within Dr. Jekyll. Hyde emerges before our eyes, triumphant and fully formed.

Synopsis

ACT II

Scenes 1 & 2: The Ballroom/The Street

In the midst of a brilliantly lit ballroom full of fashionable people, Hyde appears. The party guests greet Hyde, but everyone is mystified: who is this strange man who seems so familiar? Hyde flirts with Nellie and tries to seduce her. He starts to feel odd. The drug is wearing off. Realizing that he needs to escape before his secret is discovered, Hyde grabs his coat and cane and dashes up the steps and out into the street. In his panic, he collides with a child, whom he proceeds to beat mercilessly with his cane before disappearing into the night.

Scene 3: Mr. Hyde’s Hallucination

Mr. Hyde returns home, as Stevenson continues to activate the struggle between good and evil inside Hyde. Another hallucination begins. Hyde fights to stay in the world of danger and violence that he has come to inhabit with such relish.

Scene 4: Dr. Jekyll’s Bedroom

Slowly the hallucination fades, and Mr. Hyde is transformed back into Dr. Jekyll. In his withdrawal, the apparition of Nellie Carew haunts him. Time passes. Jekyll is unable to return to his old self; he is alone, a ruined man.

Scene 5: Dr. Jekyll’s Laboratory

Dr. Jekyll, unkempt and disheveled, writes a letter with instructions that a man named Mr. Hyde should be allowed to freely enter his home. He shows it to his butler, Mr. Poole. Jekkyl’s colleagues force their way into the room to see what is happening to their reclusive friend. They urge him to come with them to Deacon Brodie’s Tavern. Dr. Lanyon stays behind for a moment to seek more information from Jekyll; reluctantly, Jekyll agrees to ingest the dangerous potion in front of Lanyon. Guided by Stevenson, Jekyll’s transformation begins. Lanyon is horrified to witness his friend turning into something so violent and unfamiliar.

Scene 6 & 7: Deacon Brodie’s Tavern/ The Street

Mr. Hyde arrives and takes over the tavern. He engages with the Madame and behaves in a sexually aggressive way towards Rowena, bullying the crowd and enjoying their fear. He then gives the Madame his card and instructs her to send Rowena to him later that evening. Rowena is frightened but has no choice. Hyde then stalks Sir Danvers Carew and hands him a calling card. He heads for the door, knowing that Carew will follow him into the street. Once they are outside and alone, Hyde wreaks his violence on the unsuspecting Carew, bloodying his cane in the process.

Scene 8: Dr. Jekyll’s Bedroom

Arriving back at his house with the bloody cane, Mr. Hyde waits behind the red door for Rowena, who arrives escorted by the Madame. As she approaches, Rowena recognizes the entrance to Mr. Jekyll’s home, but when the red door opens, it’s Hyde. Hyde pays the Madame and slams the door on her face, trapping Rowena inside. When Rowena sees the bloody cane, she immediately intuits her fate. A violent tussle ensues. As the Maid pounds on the door, Mr. Hyde strangles Rowena with her own scarf.

Synopsis

Scene 9: Dr. Jekyll’s Laboratory

Nellie forces her way into the laboratory and is shocked to see Mr. Hyde rather than Dr. Jekyll, her fiancé . Sensing danger, Nellie tries to run away, but Hyde stops her. As Hyde brutalizes Nellie, Jekyll struggles desperately to take over again; just as Hyde is about to murder her, Jekyll is able to take control for a moment and Nellie escapes. Robert Lewis Stevenson makes his dual character confront one another.

Scene 10: The Confrontation

Left alone together, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde face off in a final struggle for control. Ultimately, we realize that Hyde has completely taken over Jekyll’s inner self. Stevenson appears, once again, his mind flooded with opioids as he imagines the climax of his story, in which Dr. Jekyll is pushed into the abyss, leaving Mr. Hyde behind.

Scene 11: Epilogue

We find ourselves back in the asylum, where Mr. Hyde takes his place with the insane. Stevenson is in the final throes of his creation. In the last moments, a hemorrhage takes Stevenson’s life, and he sinks back onto the bed. Both he and his creation have finished their terrifying journey.

Ballet en dos actos basado en la novela El extraño caso del Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde de Robert Louis Stevenson

“Bajó al sótano a buscar una botella de su borgoña favorita, la descorchó en la cocina y de repente gritó a su mujer: ‘¿Qué me pasa? ¿Qué es esta rareza? ¿Me ha cambiado la cara?’ —y cayó al suelo.

Se le había reventado un vaso sanguíneo en el cerebro y todo se acabó en un par de horas”.

Vladimir Nabakov sobre la muerte de Robert Louis Stevenson

ACTO I

Prólogo: El sueño de Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson está acostado en la cama, enfermo y con fiebre, luchando con una dolorosa afección pulmonar. Intenta escribir pero no puede concentrarse.

Su enfermera, Alison Cunningham, le administra una inyección nocturna de opio para aliviar el dolor. A medida que la droga comienza a hacerle efecto, una sensación de euforia se apodera de Stevenson. Una imagen comienza a desarrollarse en su mente de un hombre respetable y recto que lucha con sus propios impulsos oscuros: este es el Dr. Jekyll. En la imaginación de Stevenson, el Dr. Jekyll llega a su laboratorio, donde comienza a trabajar en experimentos peligrosos que buscan explorar la personalidad dual dentro de cada ser humano. Stevenson se desploma en el sueño y en sus pesadillas, surge la historia del Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde.

Escena 1: El manicomio

El manicomio está lleno de pacientes mentales, dominado por una intimidante enfermera jefe. El Dr. Jekyll y su colega, el Dr. Lanyon, entran en la habitación discutiendo sobre los últimos experimentos de Jekyll sobre la personalidad humana, que Lanyon describe como "tonterías científicas". Algunos benefactores adinerados han sido invitados a ver a Jekyll demostrar su tratamiento de las enfermedades mentales en un esfuerzo por generar fondos para promover su trabajo, pero sus esfuerzos son un fracaso.

Escena 2: El laboratorio del Dr. Jekyll

Solo y abatido, el Dr. Jekyll lucha por seguir adelante con sus experimentos. Regresa a su laboratorio y decide experimentar consigo mismo. Crea y luego ingiere una peligrosa poción diseñada para sacar a la luz lo que está oculto en su conciencia más íntima. Al mismo tiempo, Stevenson toma más opio y vislumbramos al Sr. Hyde, la encarnación del mal que está dentro de Jekyll, esperando a emerger. Por un momento, tanto Jekyll como Stevenson sienten la presencia de Hyde, pero casi de inmediato, la sensación desaparece. ¿El experimento ha fallado? En su frustración, Jekyll se da cuenta de que llega tarde a la reunión social de Sir Danvers Carew.

Sinopsis

Escena 3: La calle

El Dr. Jekyll corre a través del paisaje nocturno lluvioso de Londres hacia la casa del Dr. Carew. No puede escapar de la sensación de Mr. Hyde que lleva dentro.

Escena 4: La finca de Sir Danvers Carew

Nos encontramos en la casa de Sir Danvers Carew llena de invitados. El Dr. y la Sra. Lanyon, el Sr. y la Sra. Utterson, y el Sr. Enfield y su prometida. El Dr. Jekyll llega y es recibido por Sir Danvers, la Sra. Carew y su hija, la prometida de Jekyll, Nellie Carew. Nellie le da a Jekyll el regalo de un bastón adornado y comienzan una conversación íntima, pero él está distraído, su mente todavía está en su experimento fallido. Carew invita a sus invitados masculinos a escapar con él a la taberna del diácono Brodie por el resto de la noche.

Escena 5: La taberna del diácono Brodie

Los hombres llegan a una taberna bulliciosa, llena de prostitutas, drogas y peligro. El diácono Brody acompaña a una joven prostituta novata llamada Rowena. Cuando Brodie se comporta mal con Rowena, el Dr. Jekyll intenta intervenir para protegerla. Ella se siente atraída por él. Pero a medida que aumenta su libido, Jekyll se vuelve agresivo con Rowena. Al darse cuenta de que la poción ha tenido éxito y que Mr. Hyde, su "otro yo", está emergiendo, agarra su abrigo y su bastón e intenta huir. Rowena lo sigue a distancia.

Escena 6: La calle y la alucinación del Dr. Jekyll

Mientras el Dr. Jekyll se dirige a su casa, Rowena lo sigue en la oscuridad. Ve a Jekyll entrar por una puerta roja, la entrada a su laboratorio y que pronto se convertirá en un portal al caos y la destrucción como Robert Lewis. Stevenson desata la maldad de Mr. Hyde dentro del Dr. Jekyll. Hyde, que emerge ante nuestros ojos, triunfante y plenamente formado.

ACTO II

Escenas 1 y 2: El salón de baile/La calle

En medio de un salón de baile brillantemente iluminado y lleno de gente elegante, el Sr. Hyde llega y hace una entrada triunfal desde lo alto de la escalera. Los invitados a la fiesta saludan a Hyde, pero todos están desconcertados: ¿quién es este hombre extraño que parece tan familiar? Hyde coquetea con Nellie e intenta seducirla. Pero en el punto álgido de la fiesta, comienza a sentirse “raro”. El efecto de la droga se está desapareciendo. Al darse cuenta de que necesita escapar antes de que su secreto sea “descubierto”, Hyde agarra su abrigo y su bastón y corre por los escalones hasta la calle. En su pánico, choca con un niño, al que procede a golpear sin piedad con su bastón antes de desaparecer en la noche.

Escena 3: La alucinación del señor Hyde

El señor Hyde regresa a casa, mientras Stevenson continúa activando la lucha entre el bien y el mal dentro de Hyde. Comienza otra alucinación.

Hyde lucha por permanecer en el mundo de peligro y violencia que ha llegado a habitar on tanto gusto.

Escena 4: El dormitorio del Dr. Jekyll

Poco a poco, la alucinación se desvanece y el Sr. Hyde se transforma nuevamente en el Dr. Jekyll. En su abstinencia, la aparición de Nellie Carew lo persigue. El tiempo pasa. Jekyll no puede volver a ser el mismo de antes; está solo, un hombre arruinado.

Escena 5: El laboratorio del Dr. Jekyll

El Dr. Jekyll, desaliñado y despeinado, escribe una carta con instrucciones de que, a partir de ahora, un hombre llamado Mr. Hyde deba poder entrar libremente a su casa. Se la muestra a su mayordomo, el Sr. Poole. Los colegas de Jekyll entran a la fuerza en la habitación para ver qué le está pasando a su amigo solitario y lo instan a que los acompañe a la taberna del diácono Brodie. El Dr. Lanyon se queda un momento para pedirle más información a Jekyll; a regañadientes, Jekyll acepta ingerir la peligrosa poción delante de Lanyon. Guiado por Stevenson, comienza la transformación de Jekyll. Lanyon se horroriza al presenciar cómo su amigo se convierte en algo tan violento y desconocido.

Sinopsis

Escena 6 y 7: La taberna del diácono Brodie/La calle

El señor Hyde llega y se apodera de la taberna. Se relaciona con Madame y se comporta de manera sexualmente agresiva con Rowena, intimidando a la multitud y disfrutando del miedo que sienten. Luego le da a Madame su tarjeta y le pide que envíe a Rowena con él esa noche. Rowena está asustada, pero no tiene otra opción. Hyde acecha a Sir Danvers Carew y también le entrega una tarjeta de visita. Se dirige a la puerta, sabiendo que Carew lo seguirá hasta la calle. Una vez que están afuera y solos, Hyde descarga su violencia sobre el desprevenido Carew, ensangrentando su bastón en el proceso.

Escena 8: El dormitorio del Dr. Jekyll

Al regresar a su casa con el bastón ensangrentado, el Sr. Hyde espera detrás de la puerta roja a Rowena, quien llega escoltada por la señora. Cuando se acerca, Rowena reconoce la entrada a la casa del Sr. Jekyll, pero cuando la puerta roja se abre, es Hyde. Hyde paga a la señora y cierra la puerta en su cara, atrapando a Rowena dentro. Cuando Rowena ve el bastón ensangrentado, intuye inmediatamente su destino. Se produce una violenta pelea. Mientras la criada golpea la puerta, el Sr. Hyde estrangula a Rowena con su propia bufanda.

Escena 9: El laboratorio del Dr. Jekyll

Nellie se abre paso hasta el laboratorio y se sorprende al ver al Sr. Hyde en lugar del Dr. Jekyll. Al percibir el peligro, Nellie intenta huir, pero Hyde la detiene. Mientras Hyde brutaliza a Nellie, Jekyll lucha desesperadamente por tomar el control de nuevo; justo cuando Hyde está a punto de asesinar a Nellie, Jekyll logra tomar el control por un momento y Nellie escapa. Robert Lewis Stevenson hace que sus dos personajes se enfrenten.

Escena 10: El enfrentamiento

Al quedar solos, el Dr. Jekyll y el Sr. Hyde se enfrentan en una batalla final por el control. Finalmente, nos damos cuenta de que Hyde se ha apoderado por completo del yo interior de Jekyll. Stevenson aparece, una vez más, con la mente inundada de opioides mientras imagina el clímax de su historia, en el que el Dr. Jekyll es empujado al abismo y deja atrás al Sr. Hyde.

Escena 11: Epílogo

Nos encontramos de nuevo en el manicomio, donde el señor Hyde ocupa su lugar con los locos. Stevenson está en la agonía de ver su creación. En los últimos momentos, una hemorragia acaba con la vida de Stevenson y vuelve a hundirse en la cama. Tanto él como su creación han terminado su aterrador viaje.

Ballet West Orchestra

Jared Oaks, one of the leading young ballet conductors in the United States, is Music Director of Ballet West. Since joining the company in 2008, Jared has maintained a rigorous conducting schedule, in addition to playing for rehearsals and classes. He has conducted performances for Houston Ballet and The Sarasota Ballet, and he has worked with the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra, the Chicago Sinfonietta, the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra, among others.

Jared’s numerous compositions include an oratorio about Joan of Arc, with poems by Suzanne Lundquist, and chamber ballets for Ballet West, Charlotte Ballet, and Mid-Columbia Ballet. Jared is also a fellow of the American-Scandinavian Foundation and co-founder of the Composer Discovery Initiative.

Nathan Haines is an accomplished conductor, educator, and the new director of orchestras at Brigham Young University’s School of Music in Provo, Utah. He holds a Ph.D. in Orchestral Conducting and Music Education from Florida State University, where he served as the associate conductor of orchestras, taught courses in conducting, and pursued research in the art of conducting and music education under the mentorship of Dr. Alexander Jiménez.

After obtaining his Bachelor of Arts with an emphasis in percussion from Brigham Young University, Nathan Haines also obtained his Master of Music in orchestral conducting with Kory Katseanes.

Dr. Haines is a strong advocate for the orchestral arts, particularly in new and innovative projects. His dissertation at Florida State, titled “Conducting with Multimedia in Live Performance," provides a framework of techniques and technologies that conductors can use on the modern concert stage.

Nathan is supported by his wife Elise Haines, who specializes in audience interaction and performance studies and holds a Masters in Theater and Media Arts from BYU. They have two beautiful and energetic children: Estil (5) and Rowe (3).

Aubrey Woods’ rise as a professional violinist vividly demonstrates the versatility that is the sine qua non for twenty-first century musicians. Her artistic leadership and excellence as concertmaster for Ballet West are consistently on display at the Capitol, Rose Wagner, and Eccles theatres in Salt Lake City. She frequently performs with the Utah Symphony Orchestra. She appeared for several years with the Orchestra at Temple Square in weekly worldwide broadcasts and on recordings with the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square and notable soloists, including Bryn Terfel and Renée Fleming. Aubrey is equally in demand as a studio recording artist for movies, television, and in backing tracks for many popular artists.

Her performances as a chamber musician include appearances with NOVA, Intermezzo, the Park City Chamber Music Series and, on the Baroque violin, with New York Baroque Incorporated, the Sebastians, and Musica Angelica. She may often be heard in company with her husband, Alexander Woods, as the duo Woodsmith. In her free time, Aubrey loves making sourdough bread and spending time with her husband and their five kids.
