Ballet: The Taming of the Shrew
Ballet in two acts
Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew has inspired a number of stage and film adaptations. Major ballet adaptations include Maurice Béjart's 1954 choreography to music by Scarlatti, Czech Vera Untermüllerov's 1961 work based on melodies by a Czech composer, and John Cranko's 1961 version also based on Scarlatti's music.
This series continued in 1994 with László Seregi, who chose the music of Karl Goldmark for his choreography, making the composer (a little less than 80 years after his death and with the help of some thoughtful arrangements by Frigyes Hidas) a co-creator with Shakespeare. The revised ballet music looks like a complete work, as if the long-dead composer had written it specifically for this choreography.
The Taming of the Shrew is part of László Seregi's Shakespeare cycle, which follows the highly successful productions Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream. László Seregi was a key figure in the history of the Hungarian National Ballet, who felt completely at home in the Renaissance worldview. You could feel that in these works, but his most important ability as a choreographer was shown above all in the outstanding dramaturgical flair with which he translated dramatic works into the language of dance in an entertaining manner that was accessible to a wide audience.
