{"product_id":"dream-809478072409","title":"Dream","description":"This exciting release presents three contrasting ballets by The Royal Ballet's Founder Choreographer Frederick Ashton: The Dream (1964) is an enchanting adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream to music by Mendelssohn. Symphonic Variations (1946) is an early Ashton masterpiece, and a breathtaking, abstract work on the beauty of pure movement. Marguerite and Armand (1963), here danced by former Royal Ballet Principal Zenaida Yanowsky and Guest Artist Roberto Bolle, is a tragic love story of great lyric beauty. The Orchestra of the Royal Opera House is conducted by Emmanuel Plasson. Each of these performances received stellar reviews. \"First-rate dancing in an Ashton triple bill that offers comedy, serenity and demi-monde ardour. In one of her final performances as principal, Zenaida Yanowsky gives a tremendously intense and intelligent performance as the tragic courtesan\" (The Stage) \"A passionate tribute to an all-time genius The Royal Ballet is bringing this season - and it's 70th-birthday celebrations - to a close with a perfectly chosen trio of works by it's founder choreographer Frederick Ashton (1904-1988), works that remind us just how brightly and variously his genius blazed.\" (The Daily Telegraph)","brand":"BBC \/ Opus Arte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50447848243283,"sku":"2073960X","price":36.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/3809527_ba645970-5d05-4060-a72d-2c4360255638.jpg?v=1790214680","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/dream-809478072409","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
