This couple had one of the two best pieces in the show, a rather sad, resigned, all-passion-spent piece set to One More for the Road; it comes very late in the evening and has an emotional truth which shows up the hollowness of much of the rest.

Romeo and Juliet (RDB, 19.03.2016)

I attended the performance of Neumeier's Romeo and Juliet on the 19th, the day before my 28 years birthday. Before the performance itself, I was on the offered backstage tour of the Old Stage and it was quite an enlightening experience. Since the Queen was in attendance, the Royal chambers were being prepared for her and the halls backstage were decked with flags and flowers, because it was character dancer Eva Kloborg's (dancing the nurse that night) 50 year anniversary with the RDB. As for the performance itself... This was my first time seeing this version of Romeo and Juliet. However, the ballet only convinced me once again that everything that man touches becomes gold. Lady of the Camellias is my favourite ballet ever, Romeo and Juliet holds much of the same sense of layered story-telling and emotional depth and is less minimalistic. The leads yesterday were second cast J'aime Crandall and Gregory Dean as Juliet and Romeo. Amy Watson and Jonathan Chmelensky were dancing Lady and Lord Capulet. Sebastian Kloborg danced Tybalt. Jon Axel Fransson Mercutio, Tobias Praetorius Benvolio. Christian Hammeken a very mild and sweet Brother Lorenzo. Caroline Baldwin, Lena Maria Gruber and Alexandra Lo Sardo were Juliet's three friends. Matteo di Loreto danced the role of Prince Paris that I had somehow gotten into my head was a boring role and one of the characters Neumeier had shafted, but I couldn't agree less. Alexander Stæger, Camilla Ruelykke Holst, Silvia Selvini and Liam Redhead as the commedia dell'arte troupe. Overall everyone did a fantastic job and I was crying like a baby at the end, but a couple of specific shout-outs... J'aime was perfection as Juliet, just perfection. Although Praetorius in the intro interview characterises Juliet as "a girl who's no good, basically" - with J'aime she had grown a certain edge. She WAS good, but she didn't fit into the house to which she had been born, couldn't and didn't truly want to live up to the demands made of her by her parents and fluctuated between struggling to win her mother's approval and just saying: Screw that, I want to be free! This makes perfect sense as she meets Dean's Romeo. With him she is allowed to be who she is, he loves her for exactly that. At the same time, Dean's Romeo is sort of her opposite and sort of the same. He has lived a carefree life, fooling around with his friends and seduced all the girls, but Dean masterly portrays an underlying yearning for more. Something more that he discovers in Juliet. As such they are two young, lost souls who not only find each other, but themselves in each other. The greatest tragedy is perhaps how the world they lived in wouldn't or couldn't allow them this freedom. This is where Chmelensky as Juliet's father, but especially Watson's Lady Capulet come into the picture. I'm not usually a big Watson fan, but she nailed Lady C, despite a little bit of technical struggle in the ballroom scene. She was cold as ice, bitter towards Juliet and resentful towards Lord C. Only in her relationship with Tybalt did her emotions seem to warm up. It was heart-breaking, really - how Juliet was so much like her mother, a free spirit who wants something else for herself, but rather than supporting each other in this shared unhappiness, they become estranged and almost hostile, adding to their personal dissatisfaction. Lady C is trying to push her into a marriage with Paris as she was undoubtedly once forced to marry Lord C. The difference is that Juliet will have Romeo and none other, Romeo or death. In the end, all Lady C's compromises rob her not only of her lover Tybalt, but her daughter too. Watson portrayed this tragedy amazingly well. Especially the way she bound together the amazingly danced mourning choreography at Tybalt's death with Lady C's reaction to finding Juliet dead... I was sold, though I (of course) look forward to seeing Susanne's portrayal on the 6th of April. Lord C, in comparison, is a relatively small part, but Chmelensky really filled it well. His bald head added a chill to the man and how he focused all his energy on arranging events for the house and such seemed to be a cover for an underlying dissatisfaction with her relationship to his wife and his palpable knowledge of her affair. In this strained relation, it was no wonder J'aime's Juliet had grown up too fast and become too fractured. Especially the interaction between Chmelensky and J'aime when her Juliet is forcefully tried to join with Paris in marriage, Chmelensky soldiered through the cold exterior and man-handled Juliet in such a way that he was obviously being severe out of genuine concern and love of her. I had my concerns about Kloborg as Tybalt to begin with. The first major scene, the dance of the knights, didn't seem to flow very well between him, Watson and Chmelensky, but by the second act in all interaction with Fransson's Mercutio, he had me convinced and the death of both Mercutio and Tybalt was amazing. Kloborg's portrayal of Tybalt as a drunken, angry and frustrated man whose life was under such strain in his house added to the sort of rotten-beneath-the-surface feel of the Capulets. His opposite was Mercutio in Fransson's form. What a trio of merry youths they were, him and Dean and Praetorius as Benvolio. Their dancing was carefree and comic. They functioned well as a unit. Fransson was almost demonic in his portrayal of Mercutio - as if his daring spirit and in your face approach rendered him untouchable. Very much like young men think of themselves. Looking forward to seeing what my favourite Sebastian Haynes does with the role in the other cast. The performing troupe was one of my favourite aspects of the ballet. Lovely to see Stæger in a meaty role again, but last night wasn't the best I've seen him. In contrast, Camilla Ruelykke Holst was amazing as his wife, though Liam Redhead and Silvia Selvini delivered some of the most stellar performances all night as Luciana and Antonio, the artists reflecting Romeo and Juliet. I was mightily impressed with the both of them. However, knowing that Holly Dorger is scheduled to dance Selvini's part on the 6th makes me a happy fan! In terms of dancing, I didn't particularly like the crowded market scenes, but I imagine having seen the ballet a couple of times would make me feel less overwhelmed by all the action. All the PDDs between Dean and J'aime were beautiful and generally looked very fluid and problemfree, though there was one lift that left J'aime looking a little worried. My favourite PDD was the bedroom PDD. Dean was amazing at portraying Romeo's regret at having killed Tybalt and J'aime, in turn, changed effortlessly between being a Juliet who could tell something was wrong, trying to comfort Romeo and yet not wanting to know what had happened, at the same time seeking comfort from Romeo. It was a deeply moving scene. Another favourite scene of mine was the scene where Lord and Lady C try to get Juliet to marry Paris for the last time. Giving her away again and again despite her protests and sorrow. This scene really affected me deeply. I loved everything about it. Di Lorento was a Paris that I sort of felt bad for, because although he didn't necessarily have a lot of emotions invested in Juliet, he seemed to genuinely want to help her, trying to ease the process as much as possible. If Juliet had been another sort of person, I could imagine their arranged marriage might have been one of the more succesful of its kind... Everything that followed that scene was just testimony upon testimony to J'aime Crandall's amazing dramatic talents. She was crying on stage and died in a frenzy of hopeful dilusions and physical pain. Amazing. I can definitely understand why this has been a recurring ballet in the RDB repertory. It's a gem and my first introduction to it will only lead me back for seconds and more.
