" I think the narrative structure of those story ballets, which were some of the biggest stories of my childhood. I grew up watching Swan Lake. Giselle, La Bayadère, these were stories that were as present to me as anything that I read. Those story ballets are often split in two parts in a way. You have the White Swan and the Black Swan. In Giselle, you have the young girl and then you have the shade, the kind of ghost who comes to haunt her, her lover. Very similar in La Bayadère. And the structure of this novel is in two parts and it's two versions, in a way, of the same character. And now that you said it, I wonder if in some way, without realizing it, that narrative structure had really seeped into my brain."Katie Kitamura is the author five novels, most recently Audition and Intimacies, which was named one of the New York Times 10 Best Books of 2021, longlisted for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award, and a finalist for a Joyce Carol Oates Prize.

On Sunday, comedian Bowen Yang joined other actors onstage at the Academy Awards, dressed in his costume from the movie 'Wicked' -- to praise the artist who dreamed it up. It’s hard to list all the projects the award-winning costume designer Paul Tazewell has been responsible for on Broadway, but here’s a sample: Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk, The Color Purple musical, In The Heights, and Hamilton - for which he won a Tony. On screen, he won an Emmy for his work on The Wiz! Live. And now, Tazewell has an Oscar to add to his list of accolades. Soundside host Libby Denkmann sat down with Tazewell when he was in town back in February, and in light of his win, we thought we would revisit that conversation. He was here for a new production at the Pacific Northwest Ballet.... an organization he has a long history with. His costumes for Kent Stowell's Swan Lake, which debuted in 2003, are still in use. This time around, Paul Tazewell created the lavish costumes for the company's re-imagined Sleeping Beauty -- from ball gowns and dinner jackets to tutus.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote the music for the Nutcracker, the Romeo and Juliet Fantasy-Overture, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, multiple symphonies, several operas, and more. He is among the most popular composers of the 19th century. But as usual he didn't do it alone. He and his friend Nadezhda von Meck had a 13-year correspondence of 1200 letters. They shared (almost) everything with each other, but they never actually … met. Still, Tchaikovsky credited Nadezhda for saving his bank account (many times over), and also his sanity, and even his life. It's safe to say that some of his most gorgeous music would never have been written without Nadezhda. Music for this episode includes licensed music from Pond5 and copyright-free music from Musopen.org.

Danielle pulls a Spook Retorts in February as she recaps the “best horror movie of 2024,” Abigail. Cue a mysterious stranger who has put together what Sam argues is definitely not a heist team to kidnap a ballerina child for a ransom amount that makes no sense. Stolen from her home, Abigail (titular ballerina child) is taken to a gothic mansion in the woods to spend the night. The (not) heist team has one job: to babysit. Spoiler: it does not go well. They quickly realize that Abigail is the daughter of the mythical crime lord, Kristof Lazaar, and he may be out for blood. As the (not) heist team begin dying one by one, in increasingly and absurdly gory ways (hello exploding bodies), they begin to wonder if not everything is as it appears. And Abigail, channeling her inner Kevin McAllister, gets in on the fun. Get ready to pump up the tunes (Swan Lake, specifically), put on your ballet slippers, and join Sam as he guesses every single possible plot option, somehow getting them all correct and all wrong at the exact same time.

Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky词汇提示1.pile 一堆2.scratching 挠3.priest 牧师4.chirp 吱吱叫原文Chapter 10: The WeddingDawn broke in the forest, but no birds sang.The castle was nothing but a pile of stones.The only sound was Odile crying over Zigfried's body."Oh Zigfried, my one true love!Why did you have to die?"At this, the Prince opened first one eye, then the other."You're alive! Oh, Zigfried!"She hugged the Prince and cried tears of happiness."I love you, Odile. I knew that my love was stronger than that sword. Nothing is more powerful than a person's heart. Tell me you will marry me, and I will love you forever.""Of course I will Zigfried. You have made my dreams come true. We were right to believe in love!"They left the old castle together on Zigfried's horse.When they came to the lake near the palace,they saw Ozlowe.He was not a statue anymore.He stood scratching his head.All of the wizard's spells had been broken when he died.The Prince was full of joy."Ozlowe!""Master Zigfried, I don't know what happened. I was standing here about to shoot a swan.""That will teach you never to kill anything. This is Princess Odile. She was the swan you tried to kill."Ozlowe was very confused."Prince Zigfried, I think I'd better go to bed. I don't feel very well."When the servants and the Queen heard about Zigfried and Odile's marriage, there was a big celebration.All the people in the land and the surrounding kingdoms were invited to the wedding.It took place at the edge of the lake, where Zigfried had first seen Odile.Odile wore a beautiful long wedding dress.Zigfried's mother walked towards them."Zigfried, I want you to know that what you did was right. Though I asked you to stay at the palace, you left fora better reason. You should always follow your heart, especially when it is full of love. You father would be very proud of you. "Zigfried's mother was so happy she had tears in her eyes.The Prince took Odile's hands.They stood together in front of the lake.The Queen put the King's crown on Zigfried's head.The priest spoke to the new King and Queen."Marriage is a wonderful thing.And what makes this marriage special is that the love you have for each other will affect everyone in this land.Through your happiness, we will become happy.Through your love for each other, we will love each other. Is this what you want?Is your love strong enough to lead a land of people who need joy in their lives?"Odile spoke first."It is.""Of course, it is! ""Then by the power that is given to me by God, I pronounce you husband and wife."At that moment a joyful chirp was heard and a little bird flew from a rose bush and sat on Odile's hand."Patrice, my little friend! You're back!"Then Odile turned to Zigfried and said:"You see my beloved King, love is stronger than anything in this world. When you love somebody or something you never lose them."Zigfried looked lovingly into his bride's eyes, they kissed and everybody cheered.翻译第十章：婚礼森林里天亮了，但没有鸟儿歌唱。那座城堡只不过是一堆石头。唯一的声音是奥迪尔在齐格弗里德的尸体上哭泣。“哦，齐格弗里德，我唯一的真爱！”你为什么要死？”听到这里，王子先睁开了一只眼睛，然后又睁开了另一只。“你还活着!哦,齐格弗里德!”她拥抱着王子，流下了幸福的眼泪。“我爱你，奥迪尔。我知道我的爱比那把剑更强大。没有什么比一个人的心更强大。告诉我你会嫁给我，我会永远爱你。”“我当然会去的。你让我的梦想成真。我们相信爱情是对的！”他们一起骑着齐格弗里德的马离开了古老的城堡。当他们来到宫殿附近的湖边时，他们看到了奥兹洛。他不再是一座雕像了。他站在那里挠着头。巫师死的时候，所有的咒语都被打破了。王子满心欢喜。“奥兹洛!”“齐格弗里德少爷，我不知道发生了什么事。我正站在这里准备射一只天鹅。”“这将教会你永远不要杀死任何东西。这是奥迪尔公主。她就是你想杀死的那只天鹅。”奥兹洛非常困惑。“齐格弗里德王子，我想我最好去睡觉了。我觉得不太舒服。”当仆人和王后听说齐格弗里德和奥迪尔结婚的消息时，举行了一场盛大的庆祝活动。所有的人都被邀请来参加婚礼。事情发生在湖边，就是齐格弗里德第一次见到奥迪尔的地方。奥迪尔穿着一件漂亮的长长的结婚礼服。齐格弗里德的妈妈朝他们走来。“齐格弗里德，我想让你知道你做的是对的。虽然我让你留在宫里，但你有更好的理由离开了。你应该永远跟随自己的心，尤其是当它充满爱的时候。你父亲会为你感到骄傲的。”齐格弗里德的妈妈高兴得热泪盈眶。王子握住奥迪尔的手。他们一起站在湖边。王后把国王的王冠戴在了齐格弗里德的头上。牧师对新国王和王后讲话。“婚姻是一件美妙的事情。这段婚姻的特别之处在于你们对彼此的爱将影响这片土地上的每一个人。通过你的幸福，我们也会变得幸福。通过你对彼此的爱，我们会彼此相爱。这是你想要的吗？你的爱是否强大到足以引领这片需要快乐生活的土地？”奥迪尔先说话了。“这是。”“当然了！”“那么，以上帝赋予我的权力，我宣布你们结为夫妻。”就在这时，听到一阵欢快的啁啾声，一只小鸟从玫瑰花丛中飞出来，落在奥迪尔的手上。“帕特里斯，我的小朋友！你回来了!”然后奥迪尔转向齐格弗里德说：“你看，我亲爱的国王，爱比世界上任何东西都强大。当你爱某人或某物时，你永远不会失去他们。”齐格弗里德深情地望着新娘的眼睛，他们亲吻了一下，大家都欢呼起来。

Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky词汇提示1.weeping 哭泣2.triumphantly 得意洋洋地3.stab 刺原文Chapter 9: The FireRocford, Odet and Odile flew onto the tower of the castle.They changed back into people.Odile was weeping loudly.The wizard just laughed his evil laugh and said: "Odile, now I know how to get you to marry me. If you don't, I will kill the Prince, and you will watch him die.""Father, you do not have to kill Zigfried. He has already promised to marry me. He cannot break such a promise.""Neither of you has a heart. How can you ever expect to be happy if you know that someone does not love you? But you will see. Love is stronger than spells. You will never succeed in getting what you want."At this,they saw Zigfried coming towards the castle on his horse."We shall see which is stronger, love or hate!"The wizard made a wall of fire appear in front of Zigfried.Zigfried could only think of Odile.He rode right through the fire without getting hurt.Odile said triumphantly: "You see.I am right."As she ran from the wizard, he tried to block her way by making the doors close in front of her.But Odile just ran faster and escaped through each one.The Prince saw Odile on the steps going up to the tower.He took her in his arms."Odile, I will never let you leave me again. Say that you will stay with me forever.""I will, I will! I love you Zigfried!"The wizard appeared at the top of the steps.Odet was behind him."You will not escape death this time, Zigfried."The Prince took out his sword.Odile tried to stop him."Do not fight him, Zigfried. If he kills you, I will lose everyone I've ever loved.""You are right Odile. Zigfried is only a boy. He is no match for me. Now, come back to your room, and let this little boy go home to his mother.""Rocford, your words will not discourage me. I would kill you now, but I will give you one last chance to live. Let us leave in peace and never come near Odile again.""You really are a little boy if you think that you can harm me."Rocford raised his hand, and Odile flew through the air to where Odet stood.Zigfried ran at Rocford and tried to stab him with his sword.Rocford put his hand up.The sword touched it and turned into water.Without a sword, Zigfried attacked the wizard.Rocford threw Zigfried down the steps.He picked up a stick and turned it into a sword.He pointed it at Zigfried's heart as he lay on the ground."Rocford! Don't!""Say you will marry me Odile, and I will let him live. ""Don't do it Odile! Don't make yourself more unhappy just for me!"The wizard prodded Zigfried with the sword."And you have promised to marry me, Zigfried. You said you would always love me.""I said that because I thought you were Odile. I would never marry you. I would rather die."Zigfried took the wizard's sword and pushed it deep into his own heart."Zigfried, no!"Something strange began to happen.The castle began to shake.Large stones fell from the ceiling, and Rocford and Odet were killed.Odile ran to Zigfried.She took the sword out of his heart and pulled his body out of the castle, before it fell to the ground.翻译第九章：火罗福德、奥德和奥迪尔飞上了城堡的塔楼。他们变回了人。奥迪尔大声地哭着。巫师只是邪恶地笑了笑，说：“奥迪尔，现在我知道怎么让你嫁给我了。如果你不这样做，我就杀了王子，你就看着他死去。”“爸爸，你不必杀齐格弗里德。他已经答应娶我了。他不能违背这样的诺言。”“你们两个都没有心。如果你知道有人不爱你，你怎么能期望幸福呢？但你会看到的。爱比咒语更强大。你永远也得不到你想要的东西。”这时，他们看见齐格弗里德骑着马向城堡走来。“让我们看看爱和恨哪个更强大吧！”巫师让一道火墙出现在齐格弗里德面前。齐格弗里德只能想到奥迪勒。他骑马穿过火堆，没有受伤。奥迪尔得意地说：“你看。我是对的。”当她从巫师身边跑开的时候，他试图挡住她的去路，把门关上了。但奥迪尔跑得更快，从每一个洞里逃了出来。王子看见奥迪尔站在台阶上向塔走去。他把她抱在怀里。“奥迪尔，我再也不会让你离开我了。说你会永远和我在一起。”“我会的，我会的！”我爱你，齐格弗里德!”男巫出现在台阶顶上。奥德在他后面。“你这次逃不掉死亡了，齐格弗里德。”王子拿出了他的剑。奥迪尔试图阻止他。“别跟他打，齐格弗里德。如果他杀了你，我就会失去所有我爱过的人。”“你说得对，奥迪尔。齐格弗里德只是个孩子。他不是我的对手。现在，回你的房间去吧，让这个小男孩回家找他妈妈。”“罗福德，你的话不会使我气馁。我现在就会杀了你，但我会给你最后一次活命的机会。让我们平平安安地走吧，永远不要再靠近奥迪尔。”“如果你认为你能伤害我，那你真是个小男孩。”罗福德举起了手，奥迪尔就从空中飞到了奥德站着的地方。齐格弗里德跑向罗福德，试图用剑刺他。罗福德举起手来。剑碰到它就变成了水。没有剑的齐格弗里德攻击了巫师。罗福德把齐格弗里德扔下了台阶。他捡起一根棍子，把它变成了一把剑。他把枪对准躺在地上的齐格弗里德的心脏。“罗福德!不!”“说你愿意嫁给我，奥迪尔，我会让他活下去。”“别这样，奥迪尔！”不要因为我而让自己更不开心！”巫师用剑捅了刺齐格弗里德。“你答应过要嫁给我的，齐格弗里德。你说过你会永远爱我。”“我这么说是因为我以为你是奥迪尔。我永远不会嫁给你。我宁愿去死。”齐格弗里德拿起巫师的剑，深深刺进自己的心脏。“齐格弗里德,没有!”奇怪的事情开始发生了。城堡开始摇晃。巨大的石头从天花板上掉了下来，罗克福德和奥德死了。奥迪尔跑向齐格弗里德。她从他的心脏里取出剑，把他的身体拉出了城堡，还没等他倒在地上。

Today I have the privilege of speaking with the divine Juliet Doherty. Juliet was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which is slightly more Breaking Bad than “Swan Lake,” but Juliet's grandparents owned a ballet studio which passed to Juliet's mother, and so the artistic genes ran deep. Juliet was renowned worldwide from an early age, competing in competitions around the world, winning the Youth America Grand Prix twice, and appearing in the cult movie First Position. By 16, Juliet was dancing with the San Francisco Ballet, where after training as an apprentice, she accepted a contract into the company, but company life wasn't for Juliet. In this most beautiful conversation, Juliet talks about her road to the stage, her diverse training, and her decision to branch out and carve her own artistic life away from the ballet. We discuss her reasons for leaving the San Francisco Ballet, diving into the wild of freelance work, the joys and the burdens of social media, and what continues to drive her passion as a freelance dancer and actress.Juliet continues to perform and act around the globe, while continuing as an MDM Dance Muse. Juliet has just finished a tour with Ballet International Gala in Brisbane. To continue to follow all of Juliet's wonderful adventures, you can find her on Instagram @julietdoherty.Follow @talkingpointespodcast and never miss an episode!
