presents new ballet "The Twelve Months" at 6:30 PM

Performance will be held at the Leon M. Goldstein Performing Arts Center, Kingsborough Community College, 2001 Oriental Blvd, Brooklyn, NY 11235

“The Twelve Months” is a new age ballet based on a beautiful Russian fairy tale. It is a great winter story written by Samuil Marshak (1887-1964) and was sourced from a Czech or Bohemian legend. Music by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Libretto and choreography by Edouard Kouchnarev. Performed by BBT's Advanced division students and professional dancers. This performance is a unique, entertaining, & learning experience for audiences of any age.

“The Twelve Months” ballet story summary:
An evil stepmother sends her daughter out on New Year's Eve into the forest to gather snowdrops for the Queen's holiday table. The daughter nearly freezes to death, but luckily she encounters twelve brothers (that represent the 12 months of the year) who help her, in true fairy tale form, to fulfill her task...

FUN FACTS AND LINKS ABOUT "the twelve month" Fairy Tale

 

The Twelve Months

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 

The Twelve Months

The Twelve Months (Russian: Двенадцать месяцев; Dvenadtsat mesyatsev) is a 1956 Soviet traditionally animated feature film directed by the "patriarch of Russian animation", Ivan Ivanov-Vano. It was produced at the Soyuzmultfilm studio in Moscow and is based on the fairy-tale play of the same name by Samuil Marshak. The scene of action in the animated film isn't specified, but on a picture it is clear that action happens in the West (in the original of the story of Marshak — in Bohemia, then part of the Austrian empire) at the turn of the eighteenth to nineteenth centuries. The animated film plot quite precisely reflects story events, thus the particular emphasis is placed on ridiculing the shortcomings of an absolute monarchy. 

The Twelve Months (Russian: Двенадцать месяцев, romanized: Dvenadtsat mesyatsev) is a 1973 Soviet Lenfilm fantasy film directed by Anatoliy Granik based on the play by Samuil Marshak adapted from the fairy tale with the same name. http://bit.ly/2MZMMSC

FUN FACTS AND LINKS ABOUT THE NUTCRACKER BALLET

 

* The Nutcracker Ballet has been inspiring audiences for over a century.                                           

 

The Nutcracker (Russian: Щелкунчик, Shchelkunchik) Op. 71, is a fairy tale-ballet in two acts, three scenes, by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, composed in 1891–92. Alexandre Dumas père's adaptation of the story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" by E. T. A. Hoffmann was set to music by Tchaikovsky (staged by Marius Petipa and commissioned by the director of the Imperial Theatres Ivan Vsevolozhsky in 1891). In Western countries, The Nutcracker has become perhaps the most popular of all ballets, performed primarily around Christmas time. The composer made a selection of eight of the numbers from the ballet before the ballet's December 1892 premiere, forming The Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a, intended for concert performance. The suite was first performed, under the composer's direction, on 19 March 1892 at an assembly of the St. Petersburg branch of the Musical Society. The Nutcracker was first performed in Saint Petersburg, Russia on December 19, 1892.

 

* For many, going to the see the ballet, The Nutcracker, is a holiday tradition.
