This is the intro of the mexican-french-spanish-german film: "El Baile de San Juan" (Saint John's Ball). It's Mexico City, 1791, the last years of the New Spain. In this scene we can see the italian choreographer Geronimo Marani (not a fictional character, Marani really existed!), official choreographer of the Colisseum Theatre (used to be were nowadays if the National Lottery building in Paseo de la Reforma, and was the place were Manuel de Sumaya premiered his opera: "La Partenope). It's the very first film that portraits the different castes of the New Spain.

It's a wonderful film, buy it!!!

  • What are the title and composer of the second piece?

  • @bobbert55 If you mean the one that's sung on 2:03, it's name is "zeffiretti che sussurrate" and the composer is Antonio Vivaldi.

  • @lalungenuictdestens sorry, I meant the song on 1:22..

  • @bobbert55 "Ricordati che sei" from the opera "Farnace" by Antonio Vivaldi.

  • No he tenido la oportunidad de ver la película completa pues, a pesar de ser un filme co-producido en Alemania, no se ha estrenado por acá, me he informado y no hay distribuidora alguna que tenga en su agenda la distribución.

  • @AngelusAutemExcicio1 Yo la envié por medio de Megaupload a uno de los artistas de efectos, allí en Bayern.

  • Alguien tiene la letra en Nahuatl?

  • Vi esta película hace tiempo en el cine y me gustó, la crítica que le puedo hacer es que la gente que no tiene mucho conocimiento de la situación de la época (la Nueva España borbónica, la sociedad de castas, la decadencia de la Inquisición, la sincretización religiosa, etc.) puede perderse fácilmente. La producción es magnífica y la recreación musical me encantó. Ojalá le siguieran apostando a este tipo de temáticas y producciones :)

  • Este film lo acabo de ver el sábado pasado y me ENCANTÓ !!!!!!!!!!!!! películas como estas se deben producir más seguido en México !!!!!!!!!! gracias por subir este video !!!

  • This looks so amazing. I am curious if there was a similar tradition of Baroque music in the Philippines as well? There was a major trade route between Acapulco and Manila for over 200 years and Manila was a originally a suffragan diocese of New Spain.

  • Gente..gente dejen de quejarse de esta buena producion cinematografica. Me gustaria, como lo ha expresado Lalugenuictdestens, disfrutar de la pelicula muy pronto.
