Beautiful! :)

That moment where she's in attitude, holding the ribbons over her head, while the other dancers run in a circle around her, making her slowly turn -- is absolutely TERRIFYING for a ballerina, because she has to do it unsupported -- but Sarah makes it look like it's a breeze. A breathtaking moment.

The very first time I saw her at a Boston Ballet summer extensive in 1999 I knew she would be GREAT for the Royal ballet and now she is!

very pretty :)

I wrote an article on wikipedia about this ballet - this pas de deux is fashioned from airs from Donizetti's "Elixir", but the rest of the score is based on Herold's 1828 revision of the original pastiche of 1789.

It's not surprising that you're reminded of other music. The score for this ballet is a patchwork of at least 50 popular french arias (in the 1700s). There's no composer for the original score. This version is by Sir Frederick Ashton. He wasn't a fan of the original music, so had John Lanchbery revise it. They used the original score as sort of a foundation, but overall I think they found it too simplistic. I can't remember the exact reason.
...maybe I did study too much ballet history : )

I'd forgotten how technically difficult Ashton's choreography for Fille was! And Carlos and Sarah handle it with typical aplomb and ease.
