  • Royal Ballet dancers Yasmine Naghdi and Matthew Ball rehearse Marius Petipa's The Sleeping Beauty during World Ballet Day 2016 www.roh.org.uk/sleepingbeauty
    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 just want to point out that from many ballet videos I've seen he is the best coach. He knows how to say what is working well, he uses a strengths-based approach, he gives feedback on what is not working well in a respectful manner and always in between positive comments. This will create momentum in the dancers and almost surely result in something great and in one of their best performances yet. Every dance coach should get trained in rather than teaching, coaching and leadership

      shaikha almeer women and men have very different roles in classical ballet. while in a pas de deux the girl is often the main focus of the audience, she doesn't do all the work. the boy is there to support her and lift her and that is extremely difficult work as well. so basically, a pas de deux takes a lot of team effort from both partners :D

  • @jcliff26
    @jcliff26 Před 2 lety

    Of course excellent dancers, but why oh why has the Royal lost the speed and musicality in this that they had in the 60’s with Fonteyn, Sibley, etc. And why those “ pumped supported turns? They have that great heritage from Somes beautiful partnering and Fonteyn’s force on turns. Somes barely touched her on pirouettes. She did it all herself and he just stopped her. Again, these dancers are great. I just miss the old brio and risk taking the Royal used to have.

      For more pirouettes, Mr. Clifford. I believe RB used to be fast, and Bolshoi. Now it is slower than the Mariinsky, only Vaganova style isn't meant to be very fast, except in allegro. This is what it has come to. And if COURSE they could be faster, Núñez could be as well, but this is how RB wants it. Slow and boring.

      This is a technical rehearsal don't forget, NOT a performance on the Covent Garden stage. The Director said at the beginning this is one of their very first rehearsals, learning all the steps and movements, normal there's nothing coming from inside as she focusses on the technicalities. Watch the real performance on stage and you'll see a BIG difference. She's so good she was promoted to Prima Ballerina in June 2017. You can't make a judgement based on a technical rehearsal in a studio.

    This should not be about dancing? What I see is, movement (!) is irrelevant, all we want is nice perfect poses. Sad. Yasmine and Matthew are lovely, but coaching is not about dancing, leads them to perform a sequence of beautiful lines and poses. Just compare with videos of a few decades old performances, and you want to cry.
