The music from this ballet is just wonderful! Edit: Did anyone catch the whispering near the beginning (3.31)? It sounded like Darcy saying something like, "... I didn't want to pull them apart in front of the audience..." or something like that. There were other comments about Frederico's hand which were inaudible. Think she was talking to Marianela. Must be difficult with so many able and experienced people who may, nevertheless, have very different approaches to coaching and wanting to focus on different interpretative accents, etc.
Three coaches speaking at once, all saying something different....Fredrico and Nela deserve an award for trying to integrate it all. Donald M. is the most clear in his directions, then Gary A. Darcy should take a break.
This is an absolute joy to watch and privilege to witness ❤️ Thank you do much for sharing !
Such an incredible privilege witnessing such marvelous dance artists at work. I am so honored and grateful. Thank you so very much.
This is honestly one of the best ballet videos on CZcams.
This is how all the most brilliant dancers learn a role, passed on from one amazing artist to another
When Nela said, “Do I look good?”...I lost it 😂😂😂🤣
Amazing to see the rehearsal process. And to see Marienela taking suggestions and corrections. Even at her level, you are always learning.
Such a treat. Wonderful artists!
Ah, just found this.
Love the connection of Nela and Darcy, so sweet.
Marianela and Vadim are magical, but Marianela and Federico are also sensational.
123 like woot woot! Love this video so much. Great dancers and people! Amazing dancing and straight up hilarious 😂
This attention to detail and fidelity to original choreography is what makes the Royal Ballet an extraordinary company. ❤️
She has the delight of a little girl dancing.
This is a very difficult music to count to, and its incredible how Nella and partner keep their patience throug the rehersal.
Wish we could have seen the whole ballet.I have never seen any footage of Ashton's Raymonda.
Nela the queen 😍

"The great thing about partnering is that we shouldn't be aware of it happening."

Darcy is so patronising. For me the other dancer is better
