Fairy tales are often seen as literature for children. But that is not really an accurate assumption. Just take a look at choreographer John Neumeier’s strange but compelling ballet inspired by Hans Christian Anderson’s enduring classic “The Little Mermaid,” written in 1837.
Neumeier , is beautifully supported by composer Lera Auerbach’s intriguing score that is being impeccably performed by the Lyric Opera Orchestra led by Scott Speck. The ballet has not only challenged the superb technique of the Joffrey dancers but it has put their impressive dramatic talents on display as well. The tale being told here is a very adult one, which is somewhat too long in its first act and not always easy to follow.
Jaiani is a unique talent and here she brings her character to life in many different and remarkable ways. Most tellingly of all, there is the Poet, who is clearly attracted to the Prince, too . Like the Mermaid’s story that he has imagined, he is filled with the same profound heartbreak she has experienced, and is, in the end, seen sheltering with her. And with that, Anderson’s fairy tale becomes something of a self-portrait of the writer.
