- Sarah Lamb as Baroness Mary Vetsera and Steven McRae as Crown Prince Rudolf. Kenneth MacMillan’s Mayerling was filmed and screened live in cinemas on 15 October 2018. Find out more at www.roh.org.uk/productions/ma...
Mayerling is based on the true story of the deaths of Crown Prince Rudolf and his teenage mistress Mary Vetsera in 1889. This dark and intense ballet was created for The Royal Ballet in 1978 and is regarded by many as among Kenneth MacMillan's finest works. Orchestrated and arranged by John Lanchbery, the music of Franz Liszt sweeps the story to its intense conclusion, and sumptuous designs by Nicholas Georgiadis bring to life the formal, oppressive world of the Austro-Hungarian court.
The large-scale crowd and court scenes show the whole Company off at its dramatic finest. But it is MacMillan's choreography for Rudolf, one of the most technically and emotionally demanding roles in the repertory for male dancers, that makes this ballet so iconic. Rudolf's emotional decline is charted through daring and visceral pas de deux with his mother, his wife and Mary Vetsera - choreography that pushes classical ballet to its limits. - Zábava

I always saw traditional pas de duexs as a metaphor for a a really good kiss. This one is straight up sex...
Sex feat perfect with Mayerling story..😎🦋
If you think that this is what healthy sex looks like, then there's something wrong with you. They show an innocent, naive young girl and a man on the edge of insanity, who is clearly violent. You could probably call it rape.
E. W. The pas de deux with his wife Stéphanie in first acte is rape. This one with Mary Vetsera is not: she clearly wants it and has a very twisted mind (she threatens him with a gun before) and that is exactly why he’s so into her. They have the same morbide fascination for death.
But we agree on the idea that this is not healthy sex because none of them is really sane.
E. W. You clearly missed your history lesson didn’t you
it's called "bedroom" for a reason dumb twat and do you know the story of Mayerling?

best comment ever
Phoebe Nightingale this is from princess diaries isn't it
and five six seven eight Yes!
Princess diaries?
@@sultana2024 A popular series of books by Meg Cabot, which have been adapted into movies.
All jokes aside, this must be one of the most technically challenging pas de deux I’ve ever seen.
It certainly tests the lead female’s flexibility.
And the male dancers strength. He flings her around like she weighs nothing. Steven McRae must be incredibly strong
Until the final pas de deux in this ballet, which is even more insane
*They honestly have the best partnership*
Still amazes me that these same two people also played the Hatter and Alice in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. They seem like two different people, which tells you how amazing and expressive their dance and acting while dancing is
Alice is performed by Lauren Cuthbertson, not Sarah Lamb. But I agree that Steven McRae seems totally different!
@@tealabaker8888Sarah did portray Alice, though.
@tealabaker8888 the roles are always played by different ballerinas. Lauren Cuthbertson did originated the role of Alice, but the character has also been played by Sarah Lamb, Francesca Hayward, Annarose O'Sullivan
Gosh, Sarah's legs go on forever. And Steven is just...magnetic as always
lovely legs and cheeks
Shoutout to the genius behind prince Rudolf's glossy leggings
Sarah looks beautiful with brown hair
So this is dirty dancing ballet style
It is Mayerling not Cinderella..😻😻😻😻😻
I love Sarah Lamb’s embodiment of the character. In Mayerling, they make it explicitly clear that Baroness Mary Vetsera, despite being 17, is not a coerced innocent and has a strength and cunning of her own as well as an edge that captivated Rudolph. The expressions on her face are perfect for each point in the pas de deux, and it adds something extra that really compliments Stephen McRae’s slightly crazed and aggressive performance.
*_this is what a lap dance from the 1800s would look like_*
This is not a lap dance, this is sex
get the fuck out of here.
I have never seen sex being portrayed so beautifully in dance as in this pas des deux
Well, it was sensual but really more accurately described as sexual. But nothing in the world could make sexual human contact more incredibly beautiful than ballet and two great ballet dancers. Sara is so beautiful - her face, her body, her feet, her litheness. She is a porcelain vase and a steel magnolia. She is demeure but uninhibited, strong, and free. Simply, she is splendid. He is ravenous. These two dancers are magnetic gold.
I love Sarah and Steven as a partnership, they have so much chemistry and respect for each other that each role they take is incredible!!! Their partners and kids must be super proud of them, as well as their families!!!!!!
The music is so sinister I love it
So carnal.....I think the technical difficulties of this pas de deux must be the only thing between them and sexual arousal, that and the fact they are such old friends.
Or maybe they're both professional performers and know how to act a role?
Sarah are Steven are incredible together. Her hair and her legs are gorgeous. His facial expressions match the choreography. C❤❤
I always have to watch this twice. The first time to marvel at the physicality and sheer strength of McRae. The second time to just stare at her feet.
In my opinion, Steven really fits rudolf than any other dancers (like sergei and ed) and their chemistry is overflowing with raw emotions and that stuff. I really want to watch the whole performance but I dont know where :
It's coming out on DVD in august 2019.
I watched Sergei in the Stanislavski production, and I think he was sensational. He really embodied the madness of the character.
Steven is also amazing.
My daughter just saw this ballet in London, she cried it was so beautiful, raw, tragic
I literally died when I saw this in the cinema and I just want to watch it over and over againn
Well, they announced the DVD of this not to long ago, so you'll be able to do just that haha
the entire evening was just amazing! it was steven and sarahs rehearsal of rubies that drew me to the royal ballet or ballet as a whole and they are still my absolute favorites, Im excited for what is still to come!
Some of the best partnership I’ve ever laid my eyes on! Simply gorgeous.
One thing I actually noticed was that aside from what was required of the choreo, Steven seemed so respectful and it's actually really sweet
Well, he is a professional dancer, and as such he knows how to keep the dance partnership on a professional level. Steven and Sarah have been partnered in several productions now, because they're both awesome at what they do, but for them it's just a job like any other and at the end of the day they go home to their own families.
Wow, the chemistry between them is amazing! My screen is heating! And Sarah looks so good with dark hair!
You can tell Kenneth McMillan choreographed this ballet instantly. The pas de deux scenes are amazing, and this pairing is incredible, they are actors, dancers and athletes all rolled together, in a unique partnership!
I thought I’d died and gone to heaven when I saw this in the cinema especially when I saw my tweet on screen. Love, love, love Mayerling and the dancers who worked so hard to make it perfect. It was a real ensemble piece and sheer pleasure to watch. Thank you so much.
Omg!!!! 😭 thank you! What a partnership🤭
I'm seeing this ballet in May and trying not to completely spoil it for myself. This is so fantastic! The clarity of the technique combined with the attention to character.
This pas de deux SCREAMS erotism
XstarrynightsX basically sexual tension or feelings
Ivy Hung hello,’tis then months later. I have discovered Wattpad.
Xoxo, -gossip girl-
because it is and you're an idiot to think it is not.
@@friendusesthisaccountnocom9928 perhaps that's where you belong, stick to that.
@@elijahsackville-glucksburg ??? what? lmfao
they are great dancers and make such a great partnership, so hard to do, I know 'cause I have a partner in my dance classes and presentantions, and it's so hard to connect, stay focus and don't get mad in the process with the other haha
Wow her legs! 😱 Just amazing. Love the partnership too.
Some of this movement is incredible and so different from usual shapes!
this is 100% one of the best pas de deux’s, it’s definitely one of my favourites. so intimate
And THAT’S what I call foreplay!
☺️
50 Shades could NEVER
I swear these two are God's gift to the pas de deux.
The ways they curve and latch around each other so effortlessly and passionately.
Molly Matthews I recently watched an interview with Steven where he talked about all the extra upper body training he had to do to perform this role so he would protect himself from injury especially with all the lifting. At the end of the day and behind the scenes it is all as my British background likes it say... it is just sheer hard bloody work
The history of the Mayerling incident and actually, the whole Austrian lineage, is amazing! A very tragic family indeed
This is some of the most lovely choreography I've ever seen
For real tho
Ohhhhh ghod ❤️
They are just absolutely majestic!!! 💖
Absolutely riveting these two are completely memorizing as always
Okay okay I get it! This dance is easily all about washing dishes, did you have to make it SO obvious?!
WorldOfKaroo yes
I could not take my eyes off of them. Sooo beautiful.
Wow! This is absolutely beautiful...
I'm so used to thinking of Sarah as this ethereal, spiritual princess (or even an ethereal Alice) and Steven as the danseur noble, it is really a riot to see them in this -uh- heated? - a pdd. With the hair, feet and legs, she actually looks like a young Gelsey Kirkland. Darn, wish we still got the ballet cinema feed and I didn't have to wait for the DVDs to come out...
Pads de feix is so beautiful rue cannot getmy eyes from it
Thank you all as a team.
Amfrn
Graceful and strong!
I love Sarah Lamb
God, I love them! So obsessed.
The best channel ever
The intensity!!!!!💓💓💓
I was blushing the whole damn video ❤❤ loved it though
this might be the most beautiful thing i've ever seen
Gorgeous!
wooooow beautiful,!!! ❤️
Exquisite !!!
Bravo !
Interesting ballet. I like the choice of music and the orchestrations as well.
Stunning dancing couple.
Wonderful to see this clip again. Hope Kevin decides to put on some of the big dramatic ballets next year. IE, Manon, Mayerling, Onegin, Winter’s Tale etc. Would be great to see them again. 🩰🙋♂️🇬🇧
The partnership is out of this world ❤
Stunning
They are incredible! In my opinion they are the best couple EVER!
I wish I could like a video twice
Her toe point and leg extensions are **mwah**
INCRÍVEL!!!! 💟
they're incredible n the choreographer is amazing lol
pas de deux explicit version
Very raunchy pas de deux. Very much MacMillan's style.
Since you all are now starting on La Bayadère I would love to see a video of Vadim doing solor’s variation
I am dying to see the entire production of this. I didn't find out about it until right after it showed in theaters and the nearest theater it will be showing at is 200 US miles away. 😩
I had to watch twice
Like the pas de deux in the Park of Preljocaj, it is necessary to have a perfect technique and outstanding acting skills because we must believe in this story😮😮😮
Quanta beleza e sofisticação em uma dança.
Me hubiera encantado verlo en vivo...
this is what I call a prelude.
wow
Mayerling❤️
speaking as a dancer and watching this both as a performance and on the dancing aspect, this feels like watching the best quality porn. I love it!
yeah this is everything, of course, but i’m dying to know what of Franz Liszt’s this is arranged from
Not sure, could it be „Chasse neige“ from Etudes Transcendentales? (No.12) 🤔
What am I watching... it’s weird but I can’t...stop
😍💙♥️💜♥️💚🔥👏👏👏👌🌹🌹🌹🌹🍷my God 🙌 so perfect..if there not lovers, they should be... every movement was strategically placed..how I love this art...
They are definitely not lovers LOL Steven and Sarah are professional performers, this is just an example of how good they are at acting a role. In real life they're both happily married to other people. It's actually a compliment to their level of skill that you thought it must be for real
@@chooseyourpoison5105 hahah they had me fooled Beautiful performance so lovely
THEY. ARE. GODS.
One thing for sure, the woman has to be super flexible to do this Ballet
those pointe shoes holding on for dear life though
The nasty in ballet form... extremely beautiful anyway 🩰
Aren’t they the Mad hatter and Alice? 😵
Her legs 😍😍😍
will you post the PDD of Rudolf and his bride please?
große Kunst
Which Liszt piece is playing during this?
2 Episoden aus Lenas Faust, S. 110: No. 1, Der nächtliche Zug! (long title, i know)
Wow! I need a cold shower!🤪💥
OMG, her feet!
I think they did it, but I just can't prove it
there are things that only you 2 know that i don't know an i am ok with it nobody to blame
something tells me this is not quite how mayerling went
SONG ?
Music seems too tame for how explicit the visuals are!
