BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Vladimir Malakhov is one of the most famous and renowned artistic personalities in the world of ballets. In 2004, he became the artistic director and first soloist of the Staatsballett Berlin. Vladimir Malakhov has drawn inspiration from historic lithographs to create a new staging of the romantic ballet LA PERI for the Staatsballett Berlin. Like the sylphids, the wilis and all the other unattainable fairy and elfin beings that populated the 19th century ballet stage in great numbers and in many new interpretations, the péris are oriental heavenly creatures that embody Prince Achmed’s yearning for another form of existence. A beautiful peri appears to him with her retinue and promises him redemption: she promises that the barrier between Heaven and Earth can be overcome by the power of love.


The ballet LA PERI was first performed in 1843 at the Paris Opera. Friedrich Burgmuller composed the music, and Theophile Gautier’s libretto was translated into dance by the choreographer Jean Coralli. Vladimir Malakhov’s interpretation of the ballet is expressed in a refined and delicate dance style, which was characteristic of the romantic era and follows naturally from the music. The stage and costume designer, Jordi Roig, has lovingly created an opulent, historic setting in which the atmosphere of the exotic scene is brought to life and the ballet can work its unique magic.


Staatsballett Berlin
Since January 1st, 2004 Berlin has once again witnessed the founding of one big independent ballet institution: The Staatsballett Berlin. With 88 dancers and 2 apprentices from 25 nations, the Staatsballett Berlin is currently Germany's biggest ballet company. Appointed as the artistic director from 2004, Vladimir Malakhov is entrusted with a heritage – one of the most famous and renowned artistic personalities in the world of ballet.


The Staatsballett Berlin aims to not only make Berlin, its resident city, the capital of dance, but also radiate into the international world of dance. For the first time in 2006, the Staatsballett Berlin presented the International Dance Summit Berlin with the goal to gather the performances of the Staatsballett Berlin with those of guest companies, to discover similarities and open up possibilities. The International Dance Summit Berlin has now become an important annual international dance event.
