  • Youthful energy and technical precision are combined in Kenneth MacMillan’s virtuoso ballet, set to Shostakovich’s Second Piano Concerto. Marianela Nuñez and Rupert Pennefather dance the second movement pas de deux. To book tickets and find out more head to www.roh.org.uk....
    Concerto marked the start of a new phase in Kenneth MacMillan’s career. He had recently become director of Berlin’s Deutsche Oper Ballet, and was keen to redefine the company and showcase its full range. He selected a score of youthful vivacity - Dmitry Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto no.2 in F, which was created to mark the 19th birthday of the composer’s son. Concerto was greeted with a standing ovation on its premiere in 1966 and MacMillan received immediate performance requests from ballet companies worldwide.
    MacMillan’s choreography complements the precision and invention of Shostakovich’s score perfectly. In the energetic first movement, the corps de ballet marches en pointe in unison, in response to a military flourish in the music. A slow, sensuous Andante follows, featuring a pas de deux that was inspired by seeing Lynn Seymour, MacMillan’s friend and muse, warming up at the barre. The final movement brings the work to a spirited close, with a large corps de ballet dancing with quick, joyous steps. Jürgen Rose’s bright designs confirm the ballet’s warmth and energy.

    I love Nela! 😮😍 How can she be so perfect? It’s incredible to watch her and it never, never gets boring. She brings something new to every role she dances and it doesn’t matter how often she already performed it. I would die for the chance to learn from her how to dance with such grace, lightness, elegance, precision, passion and diversity. Marianela Nunez is a true star and quite rightly is referred to as the queen 👑 ♥️

      noopy99 So true. And if you were lucky enough to hear her ‘behind the scenes’ Programme on BBC Radio 4 last year, it is quite clear she is a grounded, kind and very thoughtful woman too. She has a friendly word for everyone she works with, whoever they are. She described how she travels home on the Tube after performing, sometimes carrying the bouquet with which she had been presented, and gets asked by folks if it’s her birthday, just smiles and says that it is... I don’t think I know of any star so supremely gifted who is so modest and self-effacing... Quite wonderful...❤️

However, I noticed how kind she is throughout the short interviews in the cinema live streams though. Even how she reposts stuff on Instagram that her fans posted or that she tries to reply to messages. She's truly amazing. I wish I get the chance to see her perform live before the day arrives she retires - though I hope that this day is still far, far away... :D

    Part of Marianela's artistry is just beyond description. Guess that's appropriate for dance. But it instantly makes me emotional, before I've even begun to process it on any other level. Perhaps it's some kind of fusion of her soul and body.
