P.I.Tchaikovsky - The Sleeping Beauty III

[qdancer13]

i actually feel sorry for carabosse.... i mean she's a fairy too but no one treats her like one.... but then she lets her resentment almost kill a princess. huh.

[adballet]

@qdancer13 Hahaha! Well, if you show up at parties with an entourage of rats you may not be invited too often. :-)

whats w/ the volume?????????????/

[birbanto24]

why king florestan is TOO GAY hahaa love him

[birbanto24]

@MlleOdilette did you read the complete message ? wasn't I clear when remarkably point the fact that I loved Him? But for sure that would be my mistake i should underline the feminism of his manners of course thats the way the role has to be played because they are acting like a french court, then i don´t mind if i had not the right of pointing someone TOO GAY when I am GAY myself then i have nothing. AMd if at the end didnt make a point i was talking about the role not the DANCER!

[MlleOdilette]

@birbanto24 I don't understand why you are mad at me? I wasn't trying to say you called him gay as bad thing. I was just wondering why english speakers on youtube often use "gay" as an insult :(

Sir Anthony Dowell showing the part of Carabosse at its best. He was agreat principal dancer with the Royal Ballet.

[Marti1951]

Nice work! I get to play the role of Carabosse. I want those hands!

[tedsler]

[dawngoth20]

[Bunnnyboyy]

Hey dose anyone know where i can watch full version?

[adballet]

I have a DVD, I bought it after seing it on YouTube, at Barneys & Noble.

[madteacups]

LOL at 1:49. great carabosse! i LOVE the choreography for the bats? rats? in my studio's production they're bats but i'm guessing they're rats here. idk. and the lilac fairy is so pale, wow.

[adballet]

I think she has make up on her body because she's from India.

[birbanto24]

@adballet most of the ballerinas makeup theyr body´s skin just too look flawless and ethereal

[birbanto24]

@madteacups RATS did you notice the red eyed faces?

[ciofarules66]

the rats are fantastic :)

[clarinette09]

what part was this called in the ballet?

[adballet]

This is Carabosse's Entrance in the Prologue.

[birbanto24]

@adballet they call it The Christening . the prologue is a short appear of the kings the nurser and the chamberlain while the orchestra plays the oberture

[adballet]

Here, he is in the tradition of the Royal Ballet as demonstrated by two veterans. Mr. Dowell's Carabosse was a genuine star turn: a sensuous faded beauty scorned.

From NYT review

[Roccarocks]

anthony dowell is an awesome actor!!! He now coaches the royal ballet for miming

[mrnack]

holy shit! this is gorgeous!

[adballet]

Brilliant!

[franssie94]

i rememberd going to this magnificent work as a seven year old and that i was so scared at this moment i thaugt i was gonna pey i my pants

[rianasimone09]

anthony dowell look sooo scary!!!

[jcdraws]

Fine production. The Sleeping Beauty: a great ballet, or the greatest? I have long adored Peter's majestic score which is, I think, without equal.

[HumpbackYen]

the fairy who repelled the witch's spell did an amazingly beautiful job at her part. She is extremely elegant

[Taekkyon2coree]

MAGNIFIQUE

[mouseking1]

Anthony looks really creapy.

[vanesaablueyes]

By far the best Carabosse I ve ever seen!Anthony Dowell really made the switch from Prncioal male dancer to charactor parts quite well!

[blackmage223]

The best variation on this scene that I've seen. I'm auditionion both the part of Carabosse and the good fairy tomorrow and this has helped a lot. Thanks!

[Bailarette]

Uma das melhores cenas da Fada Carabosse que ja vi. O bailarino seria Anthony Dowell?

[adballet]

Com certeza.
