  • Re-choreographing the "Rose Adagio" in this way is sacrilege- I like modern ballet but not this - she is supposed to be pure not prancing around, legs akimbo suggesting she's a 'loose' woman! I am not a prude but I really don't like seeing her crotch as her partner flings her to the next partner.

    I would love to see the whole ballet just to see what other variations have been changed and how, - I am curious - but this variation, no, I don't like it, but that's just my opinion; others may love it

  • I agree, I like what Scottish Ballet do in updating the classics, but some things, the Rose Adage being one of them, shouldnt be touched. I also think the choreography is really repetitive and not very interesting, much more could have been done with the music.

  • It's interesting -- I really hate it when companies mess with the originals as much as this one is (while presenting it as the original, not a totally new concept) and I don't like this one because of it, but these dancers are so good and so well rehearsed that I find my self enjoying watching it in spite of it!

  • haha she's flagging

    she is a beautiful dancer with wonderful technique but I agree that certain ballets must remain untouched... I am not nearly as offended by this as others seem to be though.

  • the result is an absolute mess.....sheer arrogance ......the good thing is how it just shows the timeless brilliance of Petipa......BOO to this BOO.....

  • I don't understand what the big deal is re-choreographing the rose adagio. There is no law that says we shouldn't....The classic will always be there, it gets old after a while. I praise the scottish ballet for being inovative.....

  • I agree that this choreography is sacrilegious and the traditional variation ought to have been adhered to.  Thumbs down .
