"It’s 1948 and during a spring weekend in Westport, CT a close-knit
group of Russian emigres, including choreographer George Balanchine (to
be played by Michael Cerveris), composer Igor Stravinsky (John Glover),
conductor Serge Koussevitsky (Dale Place), painter/set designer Sergey
Sudeikin (Alvin Epstein) and composer Nikolai Nabokov (Stephen Kunken),
gather to eat, drink and talk," according to press notes. In the play
Richard Nelson "reimagines, during the course of this weekend, the
creation of Balanchine and Stravinsky’s historic collaboration, the
ballet Orpheus, and explores the interesting and controversial ways American art was funded at the outset of the Cold War."
Interspersed throughout the action of the play will be moments of Balanchine’s original Orpheus choreography.
The upcoming production will have sets by Marsha Ginsberg, costumes by
Jane Greenwood, lighting by Ken Billington, sound by Daniel Kluger,
choreography by George Balanchine and ballet staging by Rosemary
Dunleavy. Jeff Edwards is ballet master.
Richard Nelson’s plays include Some Americans Abroad and Two Shakespearean Actors (both plays produced by Lincoln Center Theater, the latter receiving a Tony Award nomination for Best Play),
The General From America, Franny’s Way, Madame Melville, Goodnight
Children Everywhere, New England, Life Sentences, Principia Scriptoriae,
The Vienna Notes and Conjuring An Event. He wrote the book and lyrics and directed the musical My Life with Albertine, wrote the book for the musical Chess, and wrote the book, conceived and adapted the lyrics and directed the musical The Dead, winning a Tony Award for his book.
