Adam Zero Suite
POPULARITY of the ballet in Britain in the last few years had been due largely to the work of the Sadler’s Wells Ballet, in London. And some of the most significant of modern British music is being written for this company. An example is Arthur Bliss’s music for Adam Zero, which the orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, has recorded in a BBC studio, under Constant Lambert. The Sadler’s Wells company first presented the ballet last year at the Royal Opera House. The story was devised by Michael Benthall, with choreography by Robert Helpmann, who was also one of the principal dancers. The theme of the ballet is an allegory based on the life of man, compared with a cycle of the seasons, and depicted in terms of the creation of a ballet. The Adam Zero suite will be heard from 3YA on Sunday, August 17, at 10.6 p.m,
