  • i actually quite liked Zakharova's two main variations in the pharao's daughter. (the underwater scene variation and the other one. don't know what it is called but it is straight after the pas de deux of her and englishman.) I thought the music was lovely, but it wouldn't be a ballet i would like to see in full. A little boring, to be honest.

  • OMG! That is like egsaxtly the same as what my studio did, but we just didn't do it on pointe! Thats pretty cool!!

    

  • why do you need an introduction of music that long?

  • I danced in this ballet when the Bolshoi came to the Royal Opera House in 2010!! I was the 4th boy on! Although I am a girl.. but I played a boy!

  • The girl who comes in at 7:27 is freakin amazing.

  • @chibiguy93 lol of course she is it's Svetlana Zakharova !! :))

  • The Kirov Ballet does it waaaaay better.

  • @retusina Stupid....No WAY

  • @Deh280494 - NO WAY?! Of course the Mariinsky does it way better, but the Bolshoi has the better staging.

  • @retusina of course not... Kirov Ballet is shit! They can't even make good versions of some ballets... sorry, they are the worst company ever! like ABT and others

  • @DehManesBllt - The Kirov/Mariinsky is certainly not "shit" - as far as classicism goes they have NO equal on earth. However, when it comes to their repertory (or rather, their treatment of it), there's alot to be desired.

  • congretulations MRLOPEZ2681!!!

    your review is amagazing and very complete!!

    excelent job!!!

  • I can't find 3/6 with the pas de trois.

  • I never get enough of your long and detailed notes. Please keep them coming. We all derive great benefit from your research.

  • The orchestrations are not Minkus?

  • oh goodness no! Im not sure who did this re-orchestration but I've noticed that it was mostly done to the Minkus-penned numbers.....I really think that the aim of this orchestration was to get a result that would be as if Drigo orchestrated it himself. It is very much in his style with regards to orchestration.

  • Funny you say that! I was going to ask whether Drigo reorchestrated this last revival for Petipa and whether that is why it was used.
