- Journey with The Royal Ballet to an enchanted world of princesses, fairy godmothers and magical spells in this landmark production of Petipa’s classic ballet. This clip features First Soloist of The Royal Ballet Fumi Kaneko (Princess Aurora) as broadcast live to cinemas in January 2020. Find an encore screening in a cinema near you www.roh.org.uk...
The Sleeping Beauty holds a special place in The Royal Ballet’s repertory. It was the ballet with which the Company reopened the Royal Opera House in 1946 after World War II, its first production at its new home in Covent Garden. Margot Fonteyn danced the role of the beautiful Princess Aurora in the first performance, with Robert Helpmann as Prince Florimund. Sixty years later, in 2006, the original 1946 staging was revived by then Director of The Royal Ballet Monica Mason and Christopher Newton, returning Oliver Messel’s wonderful designs and glittering costumes to the stage.
The masterful 19th-century choreography of Marius Petipa is combined with sections created for The Royal Ballet by Frederick Ashton, Anthony Dowell and Christopher Wheeldon. Together they create an enchanting sequence of gems in the ballet repertory - from the iconic Rose Adage, when Aurora meets her four royal suitors, and the lilting Garland Waltz to the Vision Pas de deux, as Florimund sees Aurora for the first time, and the celebratory divertissements and final pas de deux that bring the ballet to its glorious close. Throughout, Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky’s masterful score takes ballet music to a height of passion, sophistication and intensity that arguably has never been surpassed.

I saw her dance as the princess on Thursday, when she was supposed to dance the part of the violet fairy because Lauren was injured and they were only told that morning. She done such an amazing job. It was wonderful to watch.
I was there as well !! She did SUCH an amazing job...
I’ve been watching Fumi closely as she’s taken on bigger roles and have concluded that she is definitely one to watch. If I were a betting man, I’d say she is likely to make principal in the short term. Dancing Aurora is itself a big clue as to how she is regarded by Kevin O’Hare.

Washington school yesterday and ge to be in touch with you and your family and your familly and your families answer tuning assembled assembly Dr effect again later
@@Kassie6600 And she finally became a principal congratulations fumi kankeo
Loving this new generation of stars- Fumi, Mayara, Anna Rose...all so stunning and unique, watching them become the dancers they are has been wonderful
I just hope that Tierney Heap starts performing again soon. She is such fun to watch.
and the 3 of them were just promoted as principal yesterday! very well deserved!
CALLED IT
So proud of them all
She honestly is one of the cleanest ballerinas ive ever seen. Quality and precision are her trademarks, she deserves to be promoted to principal.
Fumi is such a joy to watch. Very charming
Oh man those hands. Her technique is so beautiful and refined. I hope she gets promoted.
I did a masterclass with her today, and she was the sweetest and kindest person ever! And she is an amazing ballerina 🤩🤩
Apart from being an amazing dancer she is also a lovely person. My wife was at one of her rehearsals; at the end Fumi stopped and talked with her for a couple of minutes. She didn't need to, she could have just walked away, but she found the time.
Wonderful anecdote! 🌈✨🕊️
many thanks for sharing such a heart warming episode!
I love these quieter, slower performances where you can really see the technique and mastery of the art 💐💐💐 absolutely perfect
She has this air of being both joyfully youthful, but regal and elegant in her dancing. Fumi is a treasure!!!
Well said :) She looks like she's having a genuinely good time, has a lovely smile and isn't rushing any of the movements. As much as all ballerinas are incredibly gifted, graceful, poised etc. as well, I couldn't help but notice her arms and upper body in particular. She really pulls up and is super graceful with her arms ♡
She is just so youthful, sweet, and captivating! The ultimate Aurora. She was born for this role!
Fumi's movements are so graceful, it's very beautiful to watch.
Absolutely stunning!
Please release a DVD with her! She suits Aurora so well, not just with her facial expression but also with this delicate way of dancing and this percise technique😍
An enchanting princess 😍😍 I loved everything about this scene, the colours, the costume, the music, the dance, and of course Fumi!
i could watch Fumi dance for hours, she’s so inspiring 💜
Her hand movements are mesmerizing
Such amazing stage presence! Felt so proud watching her on Thursday. A star in the making!
fumi is such a beautiful aurora, so joyful, she really seems like a princess on her 16th birthday. well done, can't wait to see her promoted to principal someday!
We want the full show. Please, ROH. Hear our prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Guess what haha
@@abee948 hahaha, I'm so happy!
This comment aged well
She looks like a doll... so beautiful
It's fun when the ballerina they show in rehearsal then gets filmed. Can I ask those of you who saw it how the Rose Adagio went? Gosh, she had to go on on a broadcast night for an injured, popular principal? What pressure!
I went to cinema on Thursday, the rose adage overall was very pleasing! Even though it's not perfect in every detail, but Fumi def nailed it and showcased the elegance and wonderful balance technique.
@@floatingbob_4427 Thanks! I remember Yuhui Choe going in for Natalia Osipova a few years ago and all the flak RB got about that (US groupie, followed this long distance) from people who bought tix specifically to see Osipova. (I would have laid down and died to see Yuhui live!) We lost the cinema ballet feed a few years ago (just in time to miss Nunez as Giselle and the revival of The Two Pigeons) and I'd heard people say none of the US even got this broadcast. So envious you saw it live!
czcams.com/video/EKzOfK5VaMo/video.html see for yourself ;)
At 2:55 when the music and her turns match up the chills up my spine were 😭😭😭😍😍😍
Her feet and pointework, especially her roll-throughs, are extraordinary!
in the final pirouttes I just felt a great feeling transmited by her. She´s just amazing
So beautiful, she’s perfect for this role!!!
I wish the conductor would follow her pace during her triple pirouettes. Sometimes the conductor has a mind of their own! Pay attention to her musicality!
J. K. The conductor is in the pit and can’t see the dancer.
@@decimatedstar218 I realize that, but I'm certain there were many rehearsals prior to, where musical details could've been figured out.
Dancing CumberCookie the conductor’s head sticks out slightly over the top of the pit so he can see the dancers. Ballets would be disasters if the conductor and dancers couldn’t see each other.
A good dance conductor (like the consummate John Lanchberry) follows the dancer for little flourishes like the extra pirouettes. He has to be able to see especially in pieces like the Rose Adagio because on the balances, if the ballerina is struggling, he has to extend the 4 phrases to match what she's doing, although within limits. There's a film of Alina Somova doing this variation where the timing really is off, but it's her getting to the turns before the orchestra even gets to the slight rests right before. Here, the conductor should have followed her.
Well she jumped in on short notice (brilliantly btw), and maybe he simply did not know or expect she would do triples! He went the safe way!
i could not take my eyes off her! Bravo!
2:36 I love how slowly she closed, and then how quick the pas de bourre was afterwards 😆
Texture, speed, and quality ✨ she’s got it all nailed
What an absolute beauty! Fumi is so talented and the royal opera house is such a beautiful place to be xx
Her legs are truly mesmerising. She's a truly stunning dancer
I could watch this all day! Its so peaceful and calming.
How she dances, it's graceful, and kind of playful.
Fumi Kaneko was definitely a princess in a past life
She has a warm, kind presence.
She’s so beautiful!!
Fumi is a gorgeous dancer so light and fleet glad she got the chance to shine last Thursday night, but sorry about Lauren. This variation is a showy piece so the dancer has to highlight all her technique so not much of a character piece. Fumi has it all so let’s hope she will be promoted to principal.
She is a principal
She is not a Principal! She is a First Soloist, but surely deserves promotion to Principal soon!
@@johngraham3139 Yes i made a mistake.she is a soloist
@@johngraham3139 she is a principal now!
ふみさんのオーロラすごく可愛らしい😍緊張感が伝わってきてそれもいいですね
Frist things first, I absolutely adore Ms. Nuñes and Ms. Cuthbertson. However it’s very nice when I see this channel posting extracts of other talented principals/soloists like Ms. Kaneko or Ms. Magri. Well done!
Gosh she is a joy to watch !
I LOVE HER SO MUCH ❤❤❤❤ she is so wonderful.
Just saw this performance ( encore here in Cobourg ON, Canada) and was moved to tears by her brilliant performance.
her arches are so beautiful it’s crazy! (this is a compliment) :3
She is so charming!
She has such a charming and assured energy. Just draws you right in.
East or west Fumi is the best.
watching this video I'm just like "wow I need to work on my pirouettes" she's fantastic, her dancing has such an ethereal quality to it
This is the hardest ballet ever but yet she executed it
Honestly one of the best Auroras EVER!!!😍😍😍
That was beautifully executed, Fumi!!!💯🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Brava Fumi!! Perfect for the role of Aurora! 👏✨
Fumi is just amazing. Beautiful arms and spot on placement,. Lovely really and engaging
Thank you from Australia

Her technique is just flawless! I love her!
Such a breathtaking performance!! Fumi is so lovely 😍
Her smile plus her skills! 😍
Such a beautiful dancer!
Fumi is so beautiful!
she is so beautiful
Between this being an almost painfully slow (though beautiful) variation and the double manege at the end, I don't know how she's still standing after that.
Oh wow, this was so beautiful, and I love her tutu so much too!
omg I just love her❤❤❤❤
Gorgeous performance.
How is she so perfect
It’s just so beautiful 😍
Their costumes haven't changed since Margot Fonteyn, and that was after the world war. Watch the documentary it's mind blowing. Anyhoo Fumi is lovely to watch, after my fave Nela.
Love Fumi!👍👏👏👏👏

And............so what people cough.

Amazing!
I love you ballet
I 💗her energy
I love how the backup dancers look at her with such admiration or can't help but move a little with the music. Honestly every video I watch about dancers, they're just hyping each other up and I'm here for it.
Her arms are so beautiful
Yesss I could never perform that variation it’s so long I would die
