''Le Réveil de Flore'' (en. ''The Awakening of Flora''), (ru. «Пробуждение Флоры», ''Probuzhdenie Flory'') is a ''ballet anacréontique'' in one act, with choreography by Marius Petipa and music by Riccardo Drigo, to a libretto written by Petipa and Lev Ivanov. First presented by the Imperial Ballet at Peterhof Palace on . ==History== ''Le Réveil de Flore'' was originally produced for the Imperial Russian Court in honor of the wedding of the Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna to the Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich. The ballet was later transferred to the stage of the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre where it was first performed on .〔 This performance took place during a farewell benefit for the ballerina Maria Anderson, who had been forced into early retirement after sustaining burn injuries in a theatre fire. The choreography for ''Le Réveil de Flore'' was erroneously credited as a joint effort between Marius Petipa and the Imperial Ballet's second ''Maître de ballet'' Lev Ivanov in the original printed theatre program.〔 A review in the St. Petersburg Gazette of the first dress rehearsal also credited the choreography to both Petipa and Ivanov. In light of this, Marius Petipa wrote a letter of correction to the newspaper where he wrote, Riccardo Drigo's score was issued in orchestral partition and piano reduction by the music publisher Zimmerman in 1914. The ballerina Anna Pavlova included an abridged version of ''Le Réveil de Flore'' in the repertory of her touring company. Conductor Richard Bonynge recorded Drigo's score as performed by Pavlova's company for his 1974 LP ''"Homage to Pavlova"'' with the London Symphony Orchestra. 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「Le Réveil de Flore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
