For all those who want to see this wonderful performance immortalized on DVD, send a message or leave a comment on the Royal Opera House's channel requesting its release on April 7th-the day the Easter production opens.
The joy of great dance, music and story combine in Ashton’s Cinderella, a fairytale rooted in a magical brilliance and great charm. Everything comes together for a perfect Easter treat this season with The Royal Ballet.
I wonder if ROH'd release this recording if we started to send emails requesting it, or leaving messages on their channel. I mean, this footage is what they use for the Cinderella trailer, and the recording used on the trailer always comes out on DVD sooner or later. This is too awesome to miss out on.
ummm pause at 48. omg i looovvveee her soooo muuuccchhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and does any one realize how hard it is to make italian changment look good??????????? she makes it look so beautiful and easy. this is wonderful. she is the best ballerina out there. thank you so so so so so much @annamicro !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just saw them tonight in Romeo and Juliet and I met them both at the stage door! They're really nice and seemed interested that it was my first visit to the ROH. They're patient too! patient. Some woman was harassing Alina about 'balances' for ages! I met Brian Maloney and Monica Mason too! Also really nice.
i just love this so much, she is in cinderella soon at the royal opera house, its a hard choise, to see her and ruppert in cinderella or her and johan in La Fille mal gardée!!!!!
I'm saving now so that I can afford tickets to see another ballet this year. I've always wanted to see both ballets! I think whichever one I choose, I'll see a different couple for variation. But I love AC and JK!
They are amazing dancers (she has the most fabulous turnout and flexibility I've ever seen) but the choreography is awful. There are almost no sequences where they are ACTUALLY connecting movements together...
This is Prokofiev's most romantic music (Romeo and Juliet notwithstanding), and these are two of the world's best dancers. But what's with the choreography? They're supposed to be charmed by each other and falling in love, but they never face each other. They seem to be dancing against one another's movements. Not working for me. Even these brilliant dancers can't save it.
In the story he asks her to tell him her name during the ball but she doesn't for fear that he might discover afterwards she's not a noble or whatever ; maybe the choreography trys to convey this...
anyway the music is really beautiful and the dancers are great !
I´ll never stop saying what adorable is Prokofiev´s music and what a huge pleasure you can obtein hearing -listening- it.Cojocaru is a great ballerina and she has been born for this roll.
I love Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobborg, anyway -- and this pas-de-deux is beautifully danced, with so much emotion -- but I must say, I really do like this choreography. It's slow and tentative at first, and dreamy as if neither can believe it -- and then it picks up, but it never loses its regal quality. Cinderella is dancing with a prince, after all. ;) Just beautiful. I hope they'll release this one day!
She is amazing, such control of her body and her artistry! One can tell her technique not only grew, but it grew with feeling, I get something when I watch her, not just the perfect penchee....AMAZING!
Alina Cojocaru es impresionante. Me pregunto cuando la ROH publicará este ballet en DVD.
