Paquita/Lacotte : Romantic PDD including soloists variations

[MrGanesh95]

Est ce que quelqu'un saurait me dire quel accident a eu Jean-Guillaume Bart, accident qui a mis fin à sa carrière de danseur et c'est grand dommage car Bart était un danseur remarquable comme le montre cette vidéo et en plus c'etait une VRAIE Etoile, merci d'avance

Marie-Agnes is just wonderful, I love her but I didn't suppose her to be so charming in the classical ballet repertoire - perfection.

thank you for the rare post - but it must be noted that Lacotte's staging of "Paquita" is NOT a reconstruction by any stretch of the imagination.

@mrlopez2681 oh so he just created it himself?

[mrlopez2681]

bolshoiboy8 -yes, Lacotte created it from scratch. I believe he used some notes that exist in the Biblioteque in Paris for a few dances...I think they are included in the 'Grand pas des sylphides" of the final act. "Paquita" as it was maintained in Russia by Petipa is notated in a performance by Anna Pavlova in the Sergeyev Collection @ Harvard (so is "Giselle"!!!). This notation should have been used, because Petipa would have certainly maintained some of the Romantic steps.
