Ballet Artistic Director



SAN FRANCISCO BALLET APPOINTS TAMARA ROJO AS NEW ARTISTIC DIRECTOR



Tamara, who has given the English National Ballet a new allure, succeeds Helgi
Tomasson as just the fifth director to lead the San Francisco company.
Rojo Joins the Trailblazing Cultural Institution as First Female Artistic
Director in the Acclaimed Dance Company’s 89-Year History.



Awarded a CBE for her services to ballet in the Queen’s 2016 New Year’s Honours.
Honoured by the South Bank Sky Arts Outstanding Achievement Award 2022, for her
ten transformational years as artistic director of the English National Ballet.


In January 2016 Tamara Rojo Diez becomes D.A. Magna Cum Laude.




TAMARA ROJO STAGE FAREWELL

Her career summarized in fifteen videos

Idea collected from the great article written by Amélie Bertrand «Adieux à la
scène de Tamara Rojo: sa carrière en quinze vidéos» published in “Danses avec la
plume”

Tamara Rojo, a huge Star of the 2000s and 2010s, bids farewell to the stage at
48 years old as a ballet dancer on October 14th at the Théâtre des
Champs-Élysées, in the title role of Giselle by Akram Khan with English National
Ballet. Director of this company since 2012, it was she who created this new
version, one of the highlights of her years at the head of the company. In
December, she will leave for San Francisco Ballet as the new Artistic Director
and will no longer dance on stage. With remarkable sagacity, Amélie Bertrand has
summed up Rojo’s brilliant career through 15 videos.


ARAYAN DARAXA BY VICTOR ULLATE

Born In Montreal, Canada, Tamara Rojo grew up in Madrid. It was there that she
learned to dance, also in this city that she became a professional at the age of
17, when she joined the Víctor Ullate company in 1991. Three years later, she
made herself known on the international scene by winning the Paris International
Dance Competition, along with a Special Jury Prize from a panel that included
Natalia Makarova, Galina Samsova, and Vladimir Vasiliev. In that contest she
danced, among others, a solo of this choreography.



?




ROMEO AND JULIET BY KENNETH MACMILLAN

In 1997 Tamara Rojo was invited by Galina Samsova as Guest Principal Dancer with
Scottish Ballet. There she performed the leading roles in Swan Lake, The
Nutcracker, La Sylphide, and Cranko’s Romeo and Juliet. Derek Deane, then
artistic director of English National Ballet, asked her to join ENB the
following year. For her, he created the roles of Juliet in “Romeo and Juliet”
and Clara in “The Nutcracker” for which The Times named Rojo “Dance Revelation
of the Year” in 1997. In 2000 the director of the Royal Ballet Anthony Dowell
invited Tamara to join the company. One of her memorable roles was her portrayal
of Juliet from the Kenneth MacMillan version.








SWAN LAKE BY MARIUS PETIPA

In both, ENB and the RB, Tamara danced the two versions of Swan Lake that these
companies had in their repertoire. Here Black Swan pas de deux in a gala with
Alban Lendorf.








GISELLE BY MARIUS PETIPA D’APRÈS JEAN CORALLI ET JULES PERROT

Between 2000 and 2012 she was a Royal Ballet Principal Dancer. She became one of
the most emblematic Principals of the company. One of her first roles was
Giselle, which also followed her throughout her career in its different
versions, including Akram Khan’s version which she endorsed at ENB. Here in Act
II, with Jose M. Carreño and the English National Ballet.






DON QUIXOTE BY MARIUS PETIPA

Tamara Rojo becomes the essential Star, invited everywhere. In 2007, she
participated at Julio Bocca’s farewell, in Argentina, with this emblematic Don
Quixote pas de deux.






LA BAYADÈRE BY MARIUS PETIPA

At the Royal Ballet in London, Tamara Rojo performed all the great classical
ballets of the repertoire. Here in the role of Nikiya, extract from La Bayadère.






MANON BY KENNETH MACMILLAN

In addition to classical ballets, Tamara Rojo blends into the English
repertoire, notably the great works of Kenneth MacMillan. And forms with Carlos
Acosta one of the couples with the most outstanding scene of the years 2000.
With him in Manon of Kenneth MacMillan.






RAYMONDA BY MARIUS PETIPA

For fun, the superb pas de deux by Raymonda – in a production very different
from what we know in Paris – with Steven McRae.






CHROMA BY WAYNE MCGREGOR

While Tamara Rojo has explored a wide repertoire as a director, she has
essentially devoted herself to classical technique during her career. This did
not prevent her from working with modern choreographers. Here she dances Chroma
by Wayne McGregor, surrounded by the brilliant generation of the Royal Ballet:
Federico Bonelli, Sarah Lamb, Steven Mcrae, Laura Morera, Eric Underwood or
Edward Watson.






LA SYLPHIDE BY AUGUSTE BOURNONVILLE

Always for fun, the pas de deux from La Sylphide by Auguste Bournonville with
the brilliant Steven McRae.






SLEEPING BEAUTY BY MARIUS PETIPA

In 2012, Tamara Rojo left the Royal Ballet totake charge of English National
Ballet. At 36, she was not ready to stop dancing and continued to perform on
stage, accompanying a new generation of Principals. Here, excerpts from Sleeping
Beauty, with Vadim Muntagirov. Great style and great class for the rose adagio!






MARGUERITE AND ARMAND BY FREDERICK ASHTON

In 2013, Tamara Rojo returned to dance at the Royal Ballet for a proper farewell
evening. She chose to leave with Marguerite et Armand by Frederick Ashton, in
the company of Sergei Polunin, then a young dance star.






LE CORSAIRE BY ANNE-MARIE HOLMES AFTER MARIUS PETIPA

One of Tamara Rojo’s first major productions as director of English National
Ballet was a lavish new production of Le Corsaire by Anna-Marie Holmes. This
version has since toured a lot, notably at the Palais Garnier in 2016, where
Tamara Rojo played the main role, at 42 years old. Here the main pas de deux
with Cesar Corrales, discovered by the English National Ballet before going to
the Royal Ballet, at a gala (which does not make all the beauty of this
production).






GISELLE BY AKRAM KHAN

The great success of Tamara Rojo at the head of the English National Ballet. A
powerful reinterpretation of Giselle by Akram Khan, modern, also paying homage
to the masterpiece of romantic ballet. Which has since been performed around the
world. Here an excerpt from the first act, with Hilarion (Jeffrey Cirio) and
Albrecht (James Streeter).






DAILY DANCE DIALOGUE – PRIX DE LAUSANNE

We could have continued these videos for a long time! So as a conclusion, here
is the Daily Dance Dialogue, produced in 2013 at the Prix de Lausanne when the
dancer was a member of the jury. A conversation about dance, her career, her
vision of ballet… That says it all!
