I asked my friend about the accessories as I know they usually make the difference at any party.
The future bride was should be a combination of a ballerina and a gnome as she had chosen a fantastic tutu and blue tights.
Conforming to my friend, they probably wore smurf costumes as, they have been all very much into gnomes. As a result, need a? Of course look no further than our gnome fancy dress section. On the basis of Richard Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier, The Silver Rose has retained the majestic feel of an opera. Actually the characters are larger than life, the set and costumes rich and dazzling, the story line equally tragic and comic. Played by Robyn Hendricks as the journalist and Brett Simon as the photographer, these were fantastic showcases for the Coryphee. Then, with their innovative pas de deux, the characters of the paparazzi, brought dark humour to the ballet. Hendricks actually, was captivating, and again, Kirk’s costumes really enhanced the roles. With a competent, soloist Luke Ingham rose to the challenge of this role, consistent and engaging performance.
So role of the young lover Octavian is one that a dancer can really sink his teeth into. From his sensual love affair with the Marschallin, to the comedy of finding himself dressed as a maid, or his fending off of the advances of a lecherous Baron Ochs, the character goes through many changes in the ballet and really links the three Acts. It was Roger Kirk’s design that stole the show, By the way I give full credit and respect to the dancers, musicians and the entire artistic team. From an enormous silver rose suspended in front of the grand drape to the lighting which perfectly evoked the subtleties of the story, and from the corps de ballet in silver ball gowns and full length gloves to the final snowy snapshot, Kirk’s craft was absolutely stunning. Any piece comes from different periods spanning two decades but has melted gether to form something cohesive and seemingly custom made. It’s interesting to note that the score for The Silver Rose was not composed as a whole specifically for this ballet. Composer Carl Vine wove gether individual pieces from his personal body of work to create a final score.
