C est une des plus belles Nikiya. Je regarde souvent cet instant de grâce pour me souvenir. Avec grâce, Aurélie Dupont nous montre combien la vie peut être dure parfois.
Set in legendary India, La Bayadere tells of the doomed love between the noble warrior, Solor and the beautiful temple dancer, Nikiya, who is murdered by her jealous rival, Gamzatti. Seeking solace after his beloved's death, Solor's opium hallucinations bring him to the Kingdom of the Shades, where Nikiya appears as a shade and forgives him for his betrayal. When the angry gods destroy the temple to avenge Nikiya's murder, Solor and Nikiya are forever reunited beyond the reach of man.
you know what i love? is how the rajah is all casual, like "oh hey, you know that basket of flowers with a deadly poisonous snake i keep in my bedside drawer? go get it for me?" and the lady's all, "oh yea, sure thing. np. brb."
Is amazing to see the differences between russian, french, italian, spanish, whatever, they're ballerinas. They still having their own essence and I love that in art, the individuality, that's invaluable. Every artist is designed different by him/herself, and Aurélie is designed just magnifically!
Aurélie Dupont is my first ballerina since 2002 but here there is an French-American at San Francisco who is dead in 1992' in " La Bayadere " her name was Nikiya-Isabelle Guérin and j did't not forget her forever
The standard for POB étoiles has lowered more and more in the past few years. I respect Aurélie Dupont, i think she had a aristocratic, empress-like elegance on stage, but no pain, no heartbreak, no exaltation to be seen here. She wasn't even a technical prodigy whatsoever, so yeah, this is the étoile we've got...
I disagree. Aurelie's emotion in her character is correct. His interpretation is full of details, not of common places. It is not exaggerated, it is subtle and sublime. Maybe that's hard for us to understand because we're bombarded by hollywood cliches.
I think that has only relevance in how French actresses have expressed emotions for so long... You ever see Isabelle Huppert acting melodramatic on screen?
Dupont's rendition was week. I much prefer isabelle guerin and Laurent Hilaire's 1995 production. both were much stronger dancers. I have to say guerin has the face that inspires and melancholic for the death scene.
Beautiful Dupont! But would love to see more emotions. I saw Tamara Rojo in this and her emotions partnered with fragile mannerisms are heartbreaking 💔
Russian ballerinas may be technically flawless and überhuman but I love the humanity of Aurélie Dupont for me is one of the best ballerinas ever. She might not have the body of Zakharova or Vishneva. But she have this talent to really express not just dance pretty,you can feel and see the distress and the humiliation that Nikiya is suffering .
Посмотрите как танцует эту партию Ульяна Лопаткина! Дюпон до нее ооочень далеко! Ещё эту роль великолепно исполняет Н.Грачева! Вы почувствуете разницу! И она не в пользу Дюпон! Русские балерины недосягаемы!
I don´t like this at all, I know she´s a great ballerina but this role was awful on her it just didn´t express anything if you compare it to Isabelle´s guerin same scene.
C'est une de mes variations favorites, donc peut-être que je vais être dure, mais je trouve qu'elle n'arrive pas à rivaliser avec la finesse et à la délicatesse d'Isabelle Guérin (à regarder ABSOLUMENT "Morte de Nikiya - La Bayadère"). Comparée à elle, Dupont balance ses bras sans aucune expressivité, donne l'impression de faire une succession de position (sans descente demi pointe), bien qu'elle ait de très bons équilibres. Elle maîtrise pas vraiment son corps, après peut-être que c'est voulu.
Atención a lo que le dice el Raja a una criada o doncella, cuando este se levanta.El Raja quiere por todos los medios que su hijavvGazmatite se case con Solor.La hija y Nikita son rivales en cuanto Niquita siente un amor honesto y la otra un amor tóxico.En cierta ocasión Nikita se enfrenta al poder de la hija del Raja y ésta le dice que pagará mu cara su osadía y es ahí en que su padre se lavanta,como ya se ha dicho, y porv ello, lellegará la muerte inprevista,sorprendente a Nikita.ESTE BALLET esv el más hermosos de NUREYEV.
@@mairead2057 Technically venomous snake in flowers sent by Raja ... he decided to kill Nikiya after his conversation with Great Brahmin. But actually the one who killed Nikiya was Solor himself. She had the antidote ir her hands ... and decided to not use it when she saw Solor leaving with Gamzatti.
TBH I don’t think I could ever sit through La Bayadere because as beautiful as the ballet is, I hate Gamzatti’s character with a burning passion and I’d just be irritated the whole show. 😂
Aurelie a boring Nikiya, where did you get that impression from, she is a wonderful lyrical dancer, not over stated or into" look at me tactics. But a pure technician with a wonderful sense of musicality.
Oh... i'm disappointed. Many russian girls dance the Nikiya way way more expressive, artistic, with wide moves. Maybe she had a bad day, or this variation isnt for her.
amazing how many trolls showed up in the last year on this thread to pimp their dancers... people, comment on the ballet or the dancer in the video, or are you on a holy mission on behalf of your pet dancer? or desperate for attention?
Oui ! Quelle déception ! J'ai trouvé que c'était "mou", peu d'expressivité, car d'une part elle était semble-t-il peu "habitée" par le rôle et d'autre part avec des mouvements qui semblaient parfois un peu "marqués". Sorry, j'exagère, mais il manque ce "jusqu'au bout des doigts"
@@celia3601 No way, lol. I saw russian ballet dancers making terrible mistakes on stage, or, on the contrary, focusing only on body lines. Please, stop with this stupid stereotype, russian dancers are not the best ones. There are many great dancers from Russia, just like from the UK, France, Cuba, Spain and any other country in the world.
Beatiroide their dedication to ballet is such higher than any other dancers in the world. What we mean also when we say “Russian ballet dancers” is referring to the technique they use, the Vaganova Method, which makes them much better dancers compared to dancers training in other techniques such as Balanchine
@@celia3601 Vaganova training does not necessarily make you a good dancer, and I also think it's a matter of personal tastes. I do prefer French and English methods, for example, but I'd never say French dancers are better than Vaganova trained ballerinas because they're French(???) I don't like Balanchine's method, choreographies and approach to ballet, but I recognise that many great ballerinas of the past grew under his wings. Would you say that Somova is better than Nuñez, just because she is Russian? If we talk from a general perspective, I agree with you regarding the condition of ballet in Russia compared to the other parts of the world. But speaking about ballerinas, I do not agree at all. I'm sure I'm making a lot of grammar mistakes, please be kind to my ignorance lol.
Beatiroide yes, I would say Somova is better than Nunez just due to Somova’s training. Vaganova gives dancers a freedom in the upper body, making movements much more fluid. There are many more aspects of Vaganova Method that, in my opinion, makes ballet look better. Of course, being Russian doesn’t make you a greater dancer but every Russian dancer is trained in Vaganova, therefore making them superior. Also, French style ballet is based off of Vaganova so I may be pushing my luck here but that might be why you like French style😉

Je ne sais si vous l'avez remarqué mais la plus part des étoiles de l'opéra de Paris , surtout les plus célèbres sont toutes très belles sauf exception , grandes , proportions physiques idéales ce qui n'est pas le cas dans d'autres compagnies Bolchoi Kirov et NCB . Peut être " une Reine de Beauté " IoI à l'opéra de Paris si cela existait : Isabelle Guérin !
Las clases de la escuela de danza de la Opera de Paris son preeminentes, pero en el escenario las bailarinas se ven rígidas, fornidas, sin gracia y aburridas.
I would like to thank you for introducing me to Russian primas in another videos few months ago and I am grateful, but I have to say that she did her own intepretation and it is unique. Her acting is more natural, more human-like, and not overfocused on techniques like Osipova, Zakharova, and Khoreva. Her costume also the most 50% accurate to which countries and dynasties it based on to, unlike the Russian ones. They actually buy an Indian costumes, not "something indian might wear while it is in fact a fusion of every East Asian traditional clothes". And no blackface too. But it is true that her body movement is too lyrical for a temple dancer, who supposed to be firm and fierce in her dance which acts as blessings. I always love Altynai's, Osipova's, Guerin's version for more old-school and Nuñez for modern ones. The techniques, intepretation, artistry, simply superb.
I have the burning need to comment how the costumes are amazing.
Hear hear! However, not a fan of that material around Aurélie's midriff! Unnerving! I guess it wouldn't be a big deal from the house.
C est une des plus belles Nikiya. Je regarde souvent cet instant de grâce pour me souvenir. Avec grâce, Aurélie Dupont nous montre combien la vie peut être dure parfois.
DuPont’s exhibition was unwavering and well thought. Exquisite stagings and beautiful costumes-viva la France!
Je suis d'accord pour l'incroyable performance d'Isabelle Guérin. Une Nikiya absolument inoubliable, la meilleur à ce jour !
Set in legendary India, La Bayadere tells of the doomed love between the noble warrior, Solor and the beautiful temple dancer, Nikiya, who is murdered by her jealous rival, Gamzatti. Seeking solace after his beloved's death, Solor's opium hallucinations bring him to the Kingdom of the Shades, where Nikiya appears as a shade and forgives him for his betrayal. When the angry gods destroy the temple to avenge Nikiya's murder, Solor and Nikiya are forever reunited beyond the reach of man.
Aurelie is so pure and soft - I love this ))
This choreography is simply superior to other versions. Beautifully done and danced.
by far my favorite set, lighting and costumes

When Solor runs to her, I cried
Merci de l'avoir partage...je ne me lasse jamais de la voir danser!
Aurelie est sublime
I don't understand how you can find this boring. It is so pure, so right, so beautifully simple.
I really like this. It doesn't need to be crazy emotional. All the dancers are good actors here!!
Wow absolutely amazing. I don't know anything about ballet technique, but I cried at the end of this scene.
Tbh if Nikiya had just killed Gamzatti when she had the dagger, she wouldn’t be in this situation 😂
she would go to prison
Jessica Xia Not if they didn’t find out it was her 😂

Our Ulyana Lopatkina dances the best

Yup. Wow. No one noticed
i prefer the RB production with Tamara Rojo as Nikiya, you can almost touch her anguish and heartbreak!
wishiwasawhale 🙄🙄🙄
she looks so bored and lifeless on stage, like ''yeah, i gotta do this, lets get it over with''
i really like how she approached the role
Agreed !!!!!!!!
Nadezhda Gracheva is also sublime.
Прелесть как хорошо танцует
Cold
Очень понравилось!
Me gusta mad Zhakarova...

Noureev’s version is the best
Lopatkina is the best of the best !

I much prefer Alina Somova. This is bleak and without energy compared to Somova's
Ok. Altynay Assylmuratova I can agree, so would Diana Vishneva, and Isabelle Guerin. But Somova??
Merel somova is arms and legs all over the place, POB dancers is all about elegance and classicism

@@LaMC944 Nope. Her technique is way, way, better, and her acting is full of emotion that is fully connected to her technique.
