Histoire du Soldat. Lar Lubovitch Dance Company and the music ensemble Le Train Bleu, conducted by Ransom Wilson, have joined forces to revive their highly acclaimed production of Igor Stravinsky’s Histoire du Soldat at Manhattan Movement & Arts Center, Fri-Sun, Feb 10-12, 2012, for 3 performances only. This riveting interpretation of Stravinsky’s 1918 work for theater had its debut as a one-night-only event at Galapagos Arts Space last March, earning rave reviews. Channel 13/WNET called it “one of those only-in-New-York performances that restores one’s faith in humanity,” while The New York Times called the production “riveting.” This year’s revival features (as Narrator) special guest artist Marni Nixon, the American soprano famous for her key roles in iconic movie musicals, as well as for her concerts with major symphony orchestras around the world and her work on Broadway. Her movie credits include the on- screen voice singing on behalf of Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Deborah Kerr in The King & I, Natalie Wood in West Side Story, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady.

Crisis Variations. The program also includes the Lubovitch company’s latest dance, Crisis Variations, with Le Train Bleu once again providing live accompaniment of the work’s commissioned score by Yevgeniy Sharlat. The much-praised choreography for Crisis Variations has just been nominated for the prestigious 2012 Prix Benois de la Danse (to be awarded at Moscow’s renowned Bolshoi Theater).
