Symphonic Variations (ballet)
''Symphonic Variations'' is a one-act ballet by Frederick Ashton set to the eponymous music (M. 46) of César Franck. The premiere, performed by the Sadler's Wells Ballet, took place at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, on 24 April 1946 in a triple bill; the other works were Ashton's ''Les Patineurs'' and Robert Helpmann's ''Adam Zero''. The ballet was conducted by Constant Lambert and the set designed by Sophie Fedorovitch.〔("Les Patineurs – 24 April 1946 Evening 6.45pm" ); ("Symphonic Variations – 24 April 1946 Evening 6.45pm" ); and (" Adam Zero – 24 April 1946 Evening" ), Collections Online, Royal Opera House, accessed 22 June 2013〕
==Background==
During the Second World War, Ashton listened to Franck's ''Symphonic Variations'' a great deal and he decided to develop an elaborate scenario to be set to the music. Constant Lambert, music director for the Sadler's Wells Ballet,〔Anderson, p. 6〕 at first objected to the use of Franck's music for a ballet; Ashton dropped his original scenario and created an abstract ballet. During the war, the repertory had become increasingly literary, and Ashton's purpose was to counteract this.〔Vaughan, p. 206〕 It was not his intention to display ingenuity of invention but to construct a more abstract piece, setting three men and three women dancing on the vast expanse of the Opera House stage uncluttered with scenery and effect.〔Vaughan, p. 207〕
