  • Nice clothes, but definitely not Polish. but there are some items, caps of highland and boots of nobility

  • The costumes look Polish to me. Years ago, I bought my Polish grandmother a doll in traditional Polish garb, and she was dressed just like these dancers. And the famous Polish dance troop that performs world-wide wears similar costumes.

  • it's great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • Conócen relamente la historia de "Coppelia"????

  • Coppelia the ballet is supposed to take place in Poland, correct?

  • Coreografia Mazurka do ballet Coppelia. Numa montagem do Kirov Ballet de 2000. Com Leanne Benjamin como Swanilda, Carlos Acosta como Franz e Luke Heydon como Dr. Coppelius .

  • Un grand classique que l'on réentend et revoit avec plaisir.

  • Excelente e insuperable!!! Realmente lo he disfrutado muchísimo!!!

  • playing in the orchestra to this piece is exhilerating, i love it ^^

  • I love this song anyway!!

  • I have a mission for everyone. Send me a vid of the Shardust in Act I. plz!

  • Superbe mazurka!!! Merci!!

  • How to obtain this music, download an album called Romantic Classics, it's on that, I downloaded it fron isohunt. I couldn't get if from MP3 Realm as it's copyrighted, Good luck

  • @14121959 this music is Mazurka by Moniuszko - Polish composer (not Delibes who just took this mazurka from Moniuszko)

  • As a composer, myself, It's hard to belive that Delibes intended this exquisite music to be taken at breakneck speed. The far too brisk tempo diminishes the weight of the music. Here, its played as if it were a light and frothy confection. It wants to be heavier and more important. Ditto the dancers. They flit about. A bit slower would yield the real dignity inherent in the music. If I were the composer I'd kick the conductor in the shins for having so missed the spirit of the music.

  • @BillSalem Actually it's clear that Delibes "borrowed" the music from Moniuszko's opera, The Haunted Manor. It was written as a song and dance. Look in youtube for Moniuszko + mazur for the original.

    Mazurka is a mixture of three dances, each with a different tempo: oberek, mazur and kujawiak. This music is for the mazur, while Coppelia attempts to make it a full mazurka.

  • @BillSalem Also, Moniuszko intended it to be danced by the nobles, which is a more stately version of mazur, while in Coppelia there's the folk version of the dance, which is more acrobatic.

  • Mazur means common man, farmer in Polish. Mazurkas is their dance.

  • For my end of year concert, we're doing Coppelia, and we're doing this part : D

    I really lovve the song,

  • Que belle musique et que beau ballet !

    !!!!Fantastique !!!

  • Exelente valet, exelente musica y exelentes bailarines. !Simplemente fantastico!

  • @Xxdance97xX of course it's mazurka - a very Polish music but the costumes look like Hungarian

  • This is off count by a lot.

  • this is probably a really stupid question, but where is this supposed to be? is it maybe Germany?

  • I'm pretty sure it's France.

  • It's Galizia. I'm master in ballet and we studied repertory so we know the exact intended location for ballets.

  • Both the Mazurka and these folk costumes are definitely Polish. Maybe they're just visiting? lol.

  • he he , the compositor Leo Delibes is french and the costumes have nothing common with Poland - there is too much red - maybe from other eastern countries (ukrainian or...). At best they have been tainted in Poland :)

  • Well, you're correct that Delibes (the COMPOSER) was French... duh. The mazurka is a folk dance that originated in Poland. These costumes were, of course, designed for a short scene in a staged ballet, so perhaps liberties were taken, but the red boots, the bodices, the flowered headdresses, and the "general" costume style look very much like the folk costumes that my Polish friends wear at festivals in Chicago, and look nothing like Ukrainian.  Maybe there are more Poles in France? he he...

  • Galitzia, not Germany exactly bit stll

  • very pleasing Superbly done brava!

  • we danced to this music years ago in my ballet class. So much fun! I hadn't found it until now.

  • GRACIAS!!

    Simplemente gracias. En la prepa, ya hace unos años, bailé esta pieza, fue un momento único y especial. Pasaron ya casi 10 años desde que eso sucedió y ahora me hace feliz escuchar de nuevo, y lo mejor es que lo puedo ver. Finalmente eramos estudiantes, y nunca nos mostraron la puesta en escena de un ballet profesional.

  • I like the music very much. Nice group dance too.
