Product Description

The Norwegian National Ballet's Hedda Gabler is Henrik Ibsen's drama retold in a way you've never seen it before. After the premiere in 2017, both Norwegian and international critics praised director Marit Moum Aune's dance production, set to music by Nils Petter Molvær. Hedda is furious, on the verge of being consumed with disappointment. After a six-month honeymoon in Europe she has returned home to set up home with her husband, Jørgen - but nothing has turned out the way she intended. And when her former lover Eilert Løvborg enters the picture, she reacts in a way that proves perilous for everyone - including herself. Hedda Gabler is one of world theatre's most well-known characters - an icon created by Henrik Ibsen. Is she cowardly or brave? Spoilt or stuck? Wicked or desperate? Our greatest actors have always found new ways to interpret this psychologically complex role. Now the talented dancers of the Norwegian National Ballet provide their own interpretation, adding another dimension to the drama. While the original play is an intense chamber play in which a lot is left unsaid, Moum Aune paints with a broad brush. Hedda's world opens up as we delve deeper into her relationships and background. We get to see major scenes that are only hinted at in Ibsen's text. The dancers in the eight central roles have all contributed to their own choreography, with each movement crucial in the telling of this intense story. Hedda Gabler is the follow-up to Moum Aune's first success with Ibsen as dance, in which she directed and choreographed Ibsen's Ghosts together with Cina Espejord. Both productions are among the Norwegian National Ballet's greatest successes, and are in high demand around the world. BONUS : Hedda Gabler, The Other Side A 52 min. Documentary behind the scenes of the Norwegian National Opera

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting score - ridiculous direction
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020
This is supposedly a huge ballet hit and I guess it serves to showcase how the subsidized big companies have lost all touch with audiences.

Absurd settings and choreography makes this pretty much unwatchable and it is sad to see the many dancers getting groped or having to undress for this "art".

A second star, however, for the score, which is almost all electronic, with trumpet solo and which reminds us of the better days of electronic music with interesting sounds weaved in an attractive tapestry.

Too bad this music is attached to this hideous joke of a production that will only appeal t osnobbish glitterari.

El ballet clásico llevado a su cima absoluta, en formato Ballet Teatro. Música espectacular, sobre todo para los amantes del Jazz (aunque no sea estrictamente Jazz). No tengo palabras para describir la excepcionalidad de las bailarinas y los bailarines.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Purchase
Reviewed in Canada on October 31, 2019

I won't repeat what I have already written for my review of the companion video of "Ibsen's Ghosts," except to comment that the video ratio aspect information is also incorrect. Filmed in 2:35 not 1:78. I also noticed considerable motion blur in the latter half of this ballet.

I suggest you watch the documentary before watching either of these ballets. Unfortunately, if you only purchased "Ghosts" the documentary is not on that disc even though the run time of the ballet is 25 minutes shorter. I only watched the first few minutes of it and found it helpful. It will likely change your viewing experience and appreciation of these films of Ibsen's masterpieces choreographed for ballet. At some point, I may watch the full documentary and these DVDs again. At the time of writing this review, not likely to happen.

2.0 out of 5 stars WHY DON'T I APPRECIATE THIS BALLET?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 16, 2019

After ten minutes I was already thinking to stop watching this ballet because of the discomfort caused by the strange movements having intolerable schizophrenic illogical gesture nearer to funny crazy stories than this tragic adventure. The dancers do what they are obliged to do and they have certainly great possibilities to dance GISELLE or THE SWAN LAKE but here they are such a bore to cause my refusal or rebellion to the inadmissible awful and at times even disgusting mimicry. The leading lady, Hedda, leaves you to think she believes to be a new Sarah Bernhardt but her few expressions are only tiresome. It’s better to enjoy HEDDA GABLER in the original form, perhaps with Ingrid Bergman. Words, not dance - it’s better. I have had the courage to watch the whole ballet and I even want to apologize to the audience so totally in love with the performance as their final ovation may prove (the whistles were surely no hiss or disdain). I wonder why I do not accept this way of translating into ballets with such visions as here.
Now in order to relieve my discomfort I’ll watch THE NUTCRACKER with Alina Somova and Vladimir Shklyarov - a total joy.
