 This was a different program for Carolina Ballet.  The first number, Street Noise, was modern hip hop with rap music and ballerinas in tutus moon walking on point.  While it was "interesting" it was so refreshing to see traditional ballet in the Siegfried Idyl.  This was refreshing and beautiful and is why we come to the ballet.  I'm not so sure about the other stuff. The Rite of Spring was very modern and "ADF  like".  The music of course has always been 20th century modern but in the past it was choreographed by the likes of Balanchine.  I'm not so sure this is an improvement. \\ This was a different program for Carolina Ballet.  The first number, Street Noise, was modern hip hop with rap music and ballerinas in tutus moon walking on point.  While it was "interesting" it was so refreshing to see traditional ballet in the Siegfried Idyl.  This was refreshing and beautiful and is why we come to the ballet.  I'm not so sure about the other stuff.

 +==== Program Notes: ====
 +The great Russian composer Igor Stravinsky created “The Rite of Spring” (Le Sacre du Printemps) for Diaghilev’s Ballet Russe in 1913, which was originally choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky. He said at the time “I tried to evoke the mystery and surge of the creative power of spring…like the whole earth cracking…I was guided by no system whatever, I heard, and I wrote what I heard.” This version choreographed for Oregon Ballet Theatre in 2009 by Christopher Stowell, was hailed by critics as “a sleek, sophisticated, thoroughly neo-classical version” of this famous ballet.  Robert Weiss’ Idyll adds to the program, celebrating the 200th birthday of Richard Wagner.  Also featuring  Zalman Raffael’s new hip hop ballet A Street Symphony.\\

 The slow monotonous beat of the hip-hop music becomes tiresome after a while, but it becomes fresh again with the frequent song and dance change. The rhythm of the dance often matches precisely with the simple rhythm of the words; for every syllable you hear, there is a corresponding dance step. As opposed to the more complex musical and dance patterns in traditional ballet dances, the song and dance might repeat in your head like a catchy radio tune for hours after you’ve left the theater.\\ The slow monotonous beat of the hip-hop music becomes tiresome after a while, but it becomes fresh again with the frequent song and dance change.
