PREMIERE OF 'PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER' -Grand pas d'action 1/2

[EricMontreal22]

I am just watching this now. It's often glorious--but I don't understand why Lacotte in his "reconstructions" doesn't try to be a bit more authentic. Much more of this ballet does exist in notations. Similarly, while the costumes are pretty, the sets for his shows often seem a lot more "basic" than I feel they should be--or am I wrong?

No surprise that Nina was picked for the premiere - Zakharova was still a young dancer at the Mariinsky at the time. Zakharova's performance on the commercial DVD was very fine indeed.

I wish Nina's performance was available on DVD.  :(

Thank you very much for these marvellous videos! Do you have any idea who the soloists in the variations are? Thank you. :)
