Thank you for bringing us Lopatkina, russianballetvideo! I will save up for a trip to St Petersburg to see her! It is because of these videos that many people are exposed to ballet and become fans!

@rlee1976 That comment penetrated every bit of my heart. Thank you very much.

Lopatkina's dancing in this role is just so beautiful. Such control!!  I'm just curious is the two dream variations are danced by Henrietta and Clemence in other versions. I like that the Mariinsky gives more roles to different dancers though.

I do not know many companies that dance Raymonda, other than Bolshoi, Mikhailovsky and Mariinsky. Maybe Paris and ex-Soviet countries, such as Ukraine?

@russianballetvideo

There is a Ukraine company that danced Raymonda in Hong Kong this year.

But I forgot which Ukraine ballet company it was, I think. Royal? Forgive me if I am wrong/.

There are many good dancers in the Ukraine.

Some of those dancers look like they dont eat, but i've done better

@MlleOdilette Henriette's variation (the first one) doesn't change much, except that the opening step is danced as a relevé arabesque rather than an arabesque voyage. In Clémence's variation (the second) the combination @2:21 is done 3 times, and the the final diagonal consists of a single, then double and finally triple piqué turn en dehors. Raymonda's variation doesn't change much either, except that from 3:50 to 4:20 POB ballerinas do a manège of renversé and pas de valse.

@theamazingsoter are the Nureyev variations very different? Im interested but I don't know

[MISATOMOKIMIE]

mariinsky is always pretty costumes!its one of the facter i love their ballet.

[theamazingsoter]

@russianballetvideo In Nureyev's version the dream variations are danced by Henriette and Clémence. I'm not sure about other companies, or if the variations were originally danced by Raymonda's friends or by other soloists like here.
