Experience an intriguing take on the ancient Greek myth of Persephone in Peter Sellars’ superb 2012 production at the Teatro Real in Madrid. Perséphone is a ballet-melodrama in three acts composed by Stravinsky in 1934, and based on the text of a play of the same name written by André Gide.

Stravinsky was fifty years old when he premiered Perséphone in April 1934 at the Opéra de Paris. The work was commissioned by Ida Rubinstein, a patron of the arts and celebrated dancer who by the 1930s had become an icon of Parisian life. The composer collaborated with the French writer André Gide, who took a theater project that, as he described it, had been “asleep for 20 years”, and was originally inspired by Homer’s poem on the goddess Demeter. The partnership between the two artists proved difficult, mostly because Stravinsky wanted to take more liberty than Gide in his incorporation of the original text’s prosody.

Peter Sellars’ production premiered in January 2012 at the Teatro Real in Madrid. He combines in one show Stravinsky’s Perséphone with Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta, placing the two works in dialogue with one another, and exploiting their common themes of light and darkness. Indeed, the female protagonists’ destinies seem to intersect: Iolanta, a young blind girl, is brought into the light through love, while Perséphone, driven by her love of humanity, journeys into the kingdom of shadows.

Peter Sellars, Teodor Currentzis, Ekaterina Scherbachenko and Dominique Blanc tell us about the work carried out until reaching the premiere of this production: An extraordinary double programme with two works which “represent an ideal of beauty, poetry and hope”. 

 

Iolanta and Perséphone tell stories of transformation; two dramas laden with symbolism which take a path from light to darkness and back again, where there is always a shadow of one’s self behind each person. Peter Sellars tells the story using a single setting with very intense, abstract visual images where everything changes, as in Russian symbolist drama.
