What a lovely production.I am glad that they work has been reconstructed. I, as a choreographer would love to recreate it in a modern version. This would be put on a program with the original so as to preserve it historically and yet see how modern day dancers could handle a new dramatic version. It is beautiful though and how I wish other ballets would be recreated. For example, Minkus' La (Le) Poisson D'Or.
Welcome back Pantomime! This pantomime is beautifully in sync with the music.
Why does the main dancer perform the movements with an open hip? As long as someone went to all the trouble to restage a rarely seen Petipa ballet, the dancers could at least perform the movement in a way that is stylistically appropriate to the time period the ballet was created. While an open hip is suitable for a Balanchine work, it looks peculiar in a Petipa work.
