From Russia with Love

[chamuda610]

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

[darkritsuka1]

hola alguien que sepa como se llama la canción?

[loulie1997]

Lopatkina, Alexandrova, Somova, Obraztosova, Novikova, Osipova? I'm surprised the place didn't explode with greatness! This is soooooo epic and INCREDILY amazing!!! I love it!!!

[wtfalyssa1]

where's zakharova?

[TheOracleBird]

Love you for this video!!!AND LOVE IT! :D

Leonid Sarafanov and Ivan Vasiliev are AMAZING! Ekaterina Osmolkina is stunning! Evgenia Obraztsova and Vladimir Shklyarov are lovely. :')

[Ballerina1117]

this is probably the coolest thing i have EVER seen!!!

[PolinaSemionovaFan]

and where is svetlana zakharova? she is clearly one of the best dancers of all time

[onhertoes43]

At 2:30 what ballet is that from? I know but I can't come up with the name!!!

[fashionballetNYC5]

@onhertoes43 Diana and Acteon I think

[SuperBalletgirl101]

Wow this is UNBELIEVABLE. I would have paid lots to have been there!!!!!

[kfmcmahon]

svetlana z?

[etoiledelkirov]

Olesya is perfect

[massivevan]

At 1:59 was it just me or did Alina Somova have a really bad tan, because she usually doesn't look like that!!!?? HAHAHAHAA

[PolinaSemionovaFan]

This is the coolest thing ever! Did they all perform their ballets seperately in the beginning? And, was this a gala or a short little performance?

[mangetsusss]

the second piece is Magrittomania

[kfmcmahon]

why is svetlana not in this?

[kfmcmahon]

OSIPOVA IS AMAZING

[kfmcmahon]

can someone name all these ballets for me please!!

[al1936ful]

@kfmcmahon The dance they are all performing is the Russian Sailor's Dance by Gliere, from his ballet "The Red Poppy", but they are all still wearing the costumes of the different ballets that they performed in. I don't know all of them, but I do know that Irina Golub is wearing the costume (and wig?) she uses in "The Spectre of the Rose". To definitely know all of them, you'd have to see the whole program, and it hasn't been posted.

[hnbballerina]

@kfmcmahon 1st: Trois Gnossiennes by Hans van Manen 2nd: ? 3rd: Giselle 4th: Esmeralda 5th: Le corsaire 6th: Daughter of the pharao 7th: le spectre de la rose 8th: Tschaikovsky pas de deux 9th: Grand pas classique 10th: Carnival de Venise 11th: Diana and Acteon 12th: Don Quixote 13th: Flames of Paris

[kfmcmahon]

@hnbballerina thank you so much! does anyone know the name of the ballet in the second piece?

[punkd87]

@hnbballerina I think the third is not giselle but is "the sylphides" chor. Fokine...

[hnbballerina]

@punkd87 Sorry, I am really sure. It is from the Giselle grand pas de deux. Look it up...

[punkd87]

@hnbballerina It's a strange thing...It's not usual doin' Giselle PDD for a galà des etoiles...

[philking58]

lol i love how they are so cool and sexy as dancers, then they all do that cheesy waving at the end! Especially vasiliev the way his head shakes! so funny!

Great vid... wish i could see more!

[YoonjuHong]

My Goodness!!! Can I LOVE you, annamicro??

[TheStrawberryLove]

AWESOMEE!!!!!

[jayeung12]

5 tours en l'airs in a row... Crazy shit

[p40531]

wooooooooooooooooooow

LOVE IIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[pianopl8er]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!what is the music called?

[lavinder11]

If my ears and fingers remember correctly, it's called Slava! by Tchaikovsky. It was my favorite song to play in the 8th grade. :D

Absolutely beautiful. The song and choreography would have made me tense in my seat if I was there.

[NosHabebitHumus]

No, it's Yablochko (Little Apple), the Russian Sailor's Dance, from the Red Poppy by Reinhold Gliere.

The dancing is just great!

[lavinder11]

Oops! My sheet music has been severely misnamed.

[lavinder11]

Nevermind, it's just my ears. o.O

[pianopl8er]

russians are "that" amazing

[Soielily]

Oh my god, i have goosebumps!

[balletnut]

What a Gala! If only I'd been there. If only the excerpts were longer. I can't get enough.

[Fuzooky]

that must of been the best show EVER to go and see! so amazing!!

[piano6861]

Incredible!

[Yuy87]

So nice, Bolshoi and Mariinsky ballet dancers come together in a gala!!!!!

I´m sure, this gala was amazing!!!!

[taohermione]

There's Natalia Osipova,isn't it? I think she dance in Flames de Paris,right? I love this show. So Exciting!!!

[Thenrah]

I like how in the first couple he just picks up and walks off like it's nothing. He's either incredibly strong or she weighs just left of nothing. Way cool though!

[iysum]

How wonderful.

[h42rel1]

bastante bueno

[brunoverzino]

FANTASTICO....THAT'S BALLET......

[natsincatsin]

I loveee thiisssssssss!!!

[FedoraRoberts]

OH MY GOD

[Lissbirds]

This is one of the awesomest ballet videos on Youtube!!!!

[bettycoltrane85]

OMFGOMFG superstar sensory overload BUT where was Irma Nioradze? Notably missing from current Russian greats

[annamicro]

Having seen her in June in London and in July in Italy I can only think that Nioradze is NOT a CURRENT Russian great. At a certain point of the career it would be better to give up.

[bettycoltrane85]

REALLY!?? I have never had the privilege of seeing her live, but from seeing her via video it would seem to me that even if she had no ballon and no extension on a given day her port de bras would still be show-worthy.

[elenagrillo1]

@bettycoltrane85 probably she undestood it was time for her to retire.....

[ludika07]

I forgot to mention the dance's name is "Yablochko" that means "Apple"

[ludika07]

it's not Glinka. Music (based on folk chastushkas) was written by Gliere for the Red Poppy ballet.

[PucciniTur]

Sorry, not Glinka.... Smetana

[tedsler]

wahoo russian circus yeehaa!

[PUCCAPANAMA]

amazing,,would love to see this one day!

[h42rel1]

bastante bueno...

[inseita]

[regina025]

Evgenia Obraztsova & Vladimir Shklyarov...which couple are they, can anyone tell me the exact moment?i've seen obraztsova in person before but can't really recognize her on YT!thanks a lot:)

[BalletNikitenko]

Black tutu.

[looovecats]

In 0:09 she's 4th from left. Later she starts dancing in 2:17.

[salviharp]

Does anybody know what music piece this is? I can't find it anywhere.

[Vic8404]

It´s Russian Sailors Dance By Gliere

[PucciniTur]

The music is revised Glinka. It's been based on the anthem of Israel, called "Hatikva" (the Hope - l'esperance).

[ballet4evernever]

Ivan is amazing, if you watch him close enought, you can tell that he loves what he does, always a pleasure to watch him perform!

[samueledwardjones]

you don't have to watch him closely. he explodes of the screen. i can imagine what he's like live.

[milli810]

Gaudy is the perfect word! The waving at the end practiclly has me in tears. Fabulous dancers, I bet it was amazing to see all these great dancers in one place.

[ISavedAHorse]

F*CKING AMAZING!

[BalletNikitenko]

Does anyone else feel like Irina Golub and Igor Kolb were a little late on their entrance?

[Anapodos1949]

Russian sailor dance maybe?

[iwishiwasdancing]

Yeah it is Russian Sailors Dance, I played it in orchestra (how could I forget it? lol)

[1psoas9]

[russofeel]

Dear Annamicro ..... you are a genius! I can't believe that I've logged on to find this extraordinary array of talent, and also the complete "Flames ...." with my two favourites. A hundred 'Thankyous'!!

[sxgtube]

I am looking forward to more videos from this gala. Thanks a lot!

[nnabatova]

SPECTACULAR! What a delightful surprise to see Evgenia Obraztsova wearing the tutu of the Black Swan, Odile (Swan Lake)!!!

[annamicro]

Fingers crossed for the future, but I'm afraid that at the moment it's just the tutu of Carnival de Venise... :-)

(I've promised a friend to upload the pdd soon)

[etoiledelkirov]

@nnabatova not odile but carnevale de venise

[jamsmen]

Thanks for posting. It makes me wish

I was there. lol I love the ending.

[rosy879]

thats so cool, the ending is so cute.

[mariinskyfan]

Is this available on DVD??? please post more!!!!!!!!! Thank you.

[sangfroidjen]

Obraztsova and Shklyarov have a nice, steady partnership going lately. Articles in the St.P. newspaper portray them as being really good friends. Wonder if they're dating. Anyways, all the couples look magnificent!

[Ellenweig]

Thanks for that, and please keep posting extracts from this gala ! The listing is mouth-watering.
