''Spartacus'' ((ロシア語:«Спартак», ''Spartak'')) is a ballet by Aram Khachaturian (1903–1978). The work follows the exploits of Spartacus, the leader of the slave uprising against the Romans known as the Third Servile War, although the ballet's storyline takes considerable liberties with the historical record. Khachaturian composed the ballet in 1954, and for this was awarded a Lenin Prize that year.〔Victor Yuzefovich ''Aram Khachaturyan'', p.217 - New York: Sphinx Press, 1985〕 It was first staged, with choreography by Leonid Yakobson, in Leningrad 1956, but only with qualified success since Yakobson abandoned conventional ''pointe'' in his choreography.〔Yuzefovich, p.218〕 The ballet received its first staging at the Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow in 1958, choreographed by Igor Moiseyev; however it was the 1968 production, choreographed by Yury Grigorovich, which achieved the greatest acclaim for the ballet.〔 It remains one of Khachaturian's best known works and is prominent within the repertoires of the Bolshoi Theatre and other ballet companies in Russia and the former Soviet Union. ==Synopsis== Principal Characters: *Crassus, Roman consul *Spartacus, captive king of Thrace *Phrygia, wife of Spartacus *Aegina, concubine to Crassus 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spartacus (ballet)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
