"MacMillan's genius in Song of the Earth is to choreograph on a grand, tragic scale and in small, human detail alike. "
The Guardian
After being enchanted by Mahler's Das Lied von der Eredi, Kenneth MacMillan petitioned England's prestigious Royal Ballet to let him create a ballet based on the unearthly story. However, The Royal Ballet turned down his proposition, citing that the tale of love, loss and death was 'unsuitable.' Eventually he took his masterful piece to the Stuttgart Ballet and finally premiered Song Of The Earth in 1965. Six months later it was added to The Royal Ballet's repertoire, where it has remained a popular and moving ballet ever since.
A beautiful mediation on the inevitability of death and our ability to process it, Song of The Earth casts Death as a benevolent friend, who accompanies us quietly though tout our live. Seemingly unaware of their own mortality, the central couple in the story must learn to accept the anguish and find acceptance in the promise of renewal.
