this choregraphy is certainly NOT Nureyev's

[acnielsen62]

I certainly defer to your undoubted expertise Mr Lopez. All I have to go by are the credits on the DVD which may have given more credit than warranted to Nureyev, as he was certainly very ill at that time. This Production was first performed in 1992 and the DVD was taken from a 1994 performance. Choreography and Staging  Rudolf Nueyev after Marius Petipa

Restaged by Ninel Kurgapkina, Patrice Bart, Patricia Ruanne, Aleth Francillon

Is this the performance with Nureyev came on te stage at the end??

[acnielsen62]

It was not at this performance Vivette as this recording was made in 1994 and he died in January 1993.

Wow! those costumes are gorgeous. Especially hers, I've been watching alot of ballet videos lately, and this was a refreshing change from pastels and black.

[acnielsen62]

Yes I agree with you, the colors are brilliant as with the staging in the first part of this ballet. The India type costumes of the male dancers are unique too.

beatiful

They say that having entrusted Mlle. Platel with the role of Gamzatti, Nuryev established once and for all the archetype French ballerina. How insightful on his part, seeing that here lays a macabre psychological drama; she exudes warmth and joy and beauty, on the eve of her betrothal while at the same time plotting to kill her rival. lol.

Thank you for posting this. When I am sad and need to have my spirits lifted I watch her. She makes me happy.
