It is fun, yes. It is also technically perfect, and yet the seem to be as light as air.

yeah, the russians really have it all - the right facility, perfect technique, and the most emotion! So this, you mean, it not the original score? La Bayadere is still the most beautiful ballet (in my opinion) regardless of the score, though! Oh, do you know, is the jug attatched somehow to her head or does she really balance it there? I can't imagine her actualy being able to balance it there while doing bourrees!

and your opinion is right! La Bayadere is DEFINATELY the most beautiful ballet.
Well, about the jug, there is apparantly no attachment at all (as you can see at 02:05, she takes it off, just like that)
About the score, I am not really sure, but it seems to me, that Nureev brought a few changes here and there (Nykia's dance just before she dies, the music is more powerful, more "Russian" than the original score from Minkus)

which company is this? And what part int he ballet? I have never seen this part before :D It's so cute.

the name of the company, I don't know, this performance was filmed oct. 1998, in the Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg, Russia. So I suppose it must be their own company.
This part took place in the 1st act.
You should have been there, it was just great.

Oh, I wish I could have been!! I want to go to Russia so bad right now :( Soon...anyways this variation/pas de troi is adorable and I love it! :D

Right you are!
As far as I know, this version of The Bayadère is still "Noureev-flavoured", but there is a lot of talking about going back to the original Minkus score, so there could be some (minor) changes. The Mariinsky Theatre never released this ballet on DVD, wich is a real pity, but a DVD exists from The Opera de Paris. Although it is technically almost perfect, there is a little less emotion (it's my opinion)than the Russian performers. It is still worth having it.

It is released on DVD! It's filmed in 1977 and features Gabriella Komleva, you should be able to find it on Amazon or something like that. It's a wonderful version!

Thanks for the tip. I've checked it out, and, unfortunately, it seems to be available only in zone 1 copy ( I'm in zone 2 :>( )
