Description
Content description from The Arts on Television, 1976-1990: Fifteen Years of Cultural Programming:
Two classics by the choreographer Antony Tudor: Dark Elegies (1937), set to Mahler's song cycle Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children), and Jardin aux Lilas (Lilac Garden) (1936), set to music by Ernest Chausson. Principal dancers are Leslie Browne, Martine van Hamel, Ricardo Bustamante and Michael Owen. Tudor played an instrumental role in establishing American Ballet Theatre’s dramatic character, creating dances in a psychological landscape never before imagined for the Ballet stage. His contribution to dance is explored in a documentary that includes interviews with Agnes de Mille and Maude Lloyd, both members of the original cast.
