The San Francisco Ballet will be coming to Reykjavík next spring as part of the 2016 Reykjavík Arts Festival. There will be four performances on the Eldborg stage in Harpa Concert Hall from May 28-30. The ballet company has been under the direction of Icelandic dancer and choreographer Helgi Tómasson since 1985. Choreography for the performances in Harpa will be by Helgi and British choreographer Christopher Wheeldon, to the compositions of Tchaikovsky, Bosso, and Vivaldi.
The San Francisco Ballet, founded in 1933, is one of the most well-established dance companies in the US. Since Helgi assumed artistic leadership over the company, it has gained international recognition as one of the foremost dance institutions in the world. It is best known for its versatile range, the skill of its dancers, and a visionary approach to the classical art form.
There is a world of myth and legend surrounding the origin of
Odinâs Raven Magic, a chapter of Medieval Icelandic poetic verse and part of a literary canon known as the Edda. Doubt was cast upon itâs authenticity in the 19
th century, but is now recognised as having origins in the 14
th century.
The legend of the musical interpretation by Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós is not quite so old, but still goes back some 18 years to when they were commissioned to create the work by the Reykjavik Arts Festival in 2002. It was performed only a handful of times that year and become part of Sigur Rósâ own mythology. The work has existed in snippets found online, but after 18 years, the live recording of the 70-minute score featuring the Schola Cantorum of Reykjavik and LâOrchestre des Laureats du Conservatoire National de Paris performing at the Parisâ La Grande Halle de la Villette has now been released.
