- Episode Description
- As the opening program of the 1964-1965 "Festival of the Arts" (the C-1 Strip), N.E.T. is presenting John Butler's complete ballet version of the Carl Orff "Carmina Burana," choreographed by Mr. Butler on the grounds and in the chambers of a medieval castle in Doomenburg, Holland, especially for the telecast. This is an almost unprecedented attempt by an American television network unit to relate ballet to a natural and dramatic environment outside the orthodox setting of the theater. x0BThe ballet ensemble is the Nederlands Dans Theater, featuring solo dancers Glen Tetley, Willy De La Bye, Charles Czarny, Marian Sarstadt, Ann Hyde, Gerald Lamaitre, and Martinette Janmaat. Performing the music - on the superb Capitol recording - are the Houston Symphony Orchestra and the Houston Chorale under Leopold Stokowski. Carl Orff's score for the "Carmina Burana." Written in 1935-36 and first performed in 1937, is based on a group of secular songs discovered more than one hundred years ago in monastery in Buren, Germany. (The Latin title "Carmina Burana" means "Songs of Beuren.") The lyrics are tales of the thirteenth century, told by wanderers, university students, vagabond poets, and renegade monks outside monastery walls. While the Church whispered solemnly of the weakness of the flesh, the poets of the "Carmina Burana" sand aloud of its glories. From the large corpus of these verses, published in 1874 by Johann Schmeller, Orff selected twenty-four and set them to music. The work is divided into a prologue (which bemoans the ever-changing fate of man), three major sections ("In Springtime," "In the Tavern," and "The court of Love"), and an epilogue (a return to the theme of fate's ruthlessness). Each section is danced in an appropriate setting at the castle. For this presentation of the Orff work, a number of the Medieval Latin, German, and French texts were translated into English and are interpolated by unseen narrators into the ballet performance. The Performers: The Nederland Dans Theater (Netherlands Dance Theatre) was founded in Holland in 1958 by a group of European dance artists who felt that Europe's subsidized dance troupes were too complacent and too conservative to suit their interests in interpretive ballet. With government support they set out on their own, using whatever money they made to keep themselves and their company alive, constantly experimenting with new idioms, and adding a remarkable number of original works to their repertory each year. As a result of the group's progressive approach and its contribution to the dance world's stock of new choreography, the Nederland Dans Theater has become one of the leading forces in European dance today. The Choreographer: Respected in his own country and abroad as one of America's leading ballet stage choreographers, John butler has also become known as a master of the fine art of creating and directing dance for television. His memorable work with the CBS "Look Up and Live" series with the NBC Opera, and with numerous television specials featuring ballet indicate the extraordinary qualifications he has brought to this performance of "Carmina Burana." Mr. Butler, who was once a member of Martha Graham's troupe, has guided and inspired dancers in productions on and off Broadway, in summer stock, in European and American dance festivals, and in opera houses. As an opera choreographer he created dance for the Metropolitan Opera productions of "Die Fledermaus" in 1958, and "The Marriage of Figaro" in 1959; the 1947 Broadway production of Menotti's "The Consul" on Broadway; the "Omnibus" television presentation of Douglas Moore's "The Ballad of Baby Doe"; and the NBC Opera productions of "The Marriage of Figaro, "Macbeth," "Salome," "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme," and the annual Christmas favorite, "Amahl and the Night Visitors," in 1961 he staged and directed the entire production of "Nausicaa" with music by Peggy Glenville-Hicks and libretto by Robert Graves. This World premiere of the work took place at the Athens International Festival in Greece. Mr., Butler is currently planning for Miss Glenville-Hicks opera "Sappho" which, with a libretto by Lawrence Durell, will be staged in San Francisco under a Ford Foundation Commission. Mr. Butler's contributions to dance festivals have been many. At the Spoleto, Italy, Festival of the Two Worlds he has introduced such original works as "Sybil" "Five Senses" "Glory Folk" "Masque of the Wild Man" (with a score by Glenville-Hicks), "Unquiet Graves" (with a score by Prokofiev) and "Triad" (with a score that combines works by Glenville -Hicks, Prokofiev, and Duke Ellington). At the Santa Fe Festival he directed and choreographed Arthur Honegger's "Jeanne d'arc au Bucher," With the Nederlands Dans Theater he staged his "Sebastian" (music by Menotti) "Hadrianus," and "Carmina Burana", and at Jacob's Pillow (Mass) and later at the Newport Jazz Festival, he created "Portrait of Billie, "a ballet about Billie Holliday, danced by Carmen DeLavellade to old ballad records made by the famous blues singer. With the CBS "Look up and Live" series Mr. Butler choreographed "Saul and the witch of Endor," "David and Bathsheba," "Psalms," "Nativity," "Parliament of Heaven," "Ester," an "Herod," A number of these programs were directed by Karl Genus and designed by Jac Venza, the two men who have collaborated with Mr. Butler on this N.E.T production. Mr. Butler's association with the "Carmina Burana" began in 1959 when he was commissioned by the New York City Center and Leopold Stokowski to create a ballet from the Orff score. That work has been in the New York Balley company repertory ever since. Early in 1964, N.E.T producer Jac Venza asked Mr. Butler to recreate the ballet especially for this telecast. During the summer of 1964, Mr. Butler set another Orff work, the "Catulli Carmina," as a ballet. It was premiered in July, 1964, at the Caramoor (New York) Festival. Carmina Burana is a 1964 production of National Educational Television. Technical facilities by Intertel VTR, Inc. London. This aired as part of Festival of the Arts on September 11, 1964 and as NET Festival episode 33 on July 28, 1968. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
