thank you so much for up loading this was very curious to see it - my opinion the decor and costumes are amazing the dancers are spectacular but I really really do not like Rudi's choreography overly fussy and awkward I had the same problem with the nutcracker he did for the royal ballet .....but still a fantastic way to spend 2 and a half hours xxx
Random fact: the male variation during the pas de Precious Stones is the sapphire fairy variation. You can tell because the odd 5/4 times is suppose to make you think of a 5 sided sapphire (at least according to that pdf file from the Royal Ballet)
@al1936ful No, Nureyev only restored some musical pieces Petipa cut for his original production, but all the music is from Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty.
That's normal in France to cut the last music piece of this ballet because Tchaikovsky use an old french song as thema "Vive Henri IV" which is the song of monarchists. As you know France is a republic ! :-)

Awesome... What happened to the Apotheosis ending??? The end was re-orchestraed to a finale that doesn't work and is not Tchaikovsky. Very odd!!
