La Bayadère: After Petipa - Online Zoom lecture with Amy Growcott - Part 3 Q&A
My first online ballet history presentation/lecture - "La Bayadère: After Petipa" (part 3), Q&A session with myself, Peter Koppers, Nadine Meisner, Rosie Gerhard and Emiko Hirano.
In collaboration with Emiko Hirano and Yuko Oi, I presented my first online presentation in which I looked into the history of "La Bayadère" and how it changed throughout the 20th century until Sergei Vikharev and Alexei Ratmansky's respective historical productions aimed to show us the closet we can get to what Petipa created over 100 years ago.
This presentation was filmed on 19th May 2024 and it is dedicated to the people of Ukraine, especially my friends.

Maravillosa
idk what it is, but I dont click with that performance, I miss the soft touch a swan has and the feeling, seems rushed and I watched it at 0.75 I danced ballet for 10 years and I just dont see the grace of the act of dying here :,)
Curious attempt of making the reconstruction of the original La Bayadere. But I think Vikharev's historical version was better. ua-cam.com/video/EusCZQKH6nw/v-deo.html It looks more like the nineteenth century ballet than Ratmasky’s production with it’s ugly modern costumes and set design.
Golden Idol - Soviet version. 1949
Allora preferisco la versione del kirov 1980
Beautiful. What year was this filmed? A treasure.
FINALLY WE SEE THE FULL VERSION OF THE BALLET AND NOT THE SOVIET CASTRATED VERSION, THANKS RATMANSKY
Lovely phrasing across the board. Bluebird guy tho…😬😬😬, that arabesque needs some stretch. Also, ballet really needs to re-think costuming for men. Puffed sleeves in this day and age are not the lewk!
Que manera de destrozar un Ballet tan maravilloso, qué malísima coreografía, y que pena.
I love the character dances in act 3. Kinda sad that La Scala decided to revert back to the Nureyev version. Hope someday a full video of Ratmansky's Sleeping Beauty surfaces online
why they bring small children to this events?????? wwwwwhy
Pavlova parece vivir ese momento final, entrar a la nada, a un supuesto vacío. Más allá de cualquier técnica, ella transmite todo el patetismo con una expresión mágica. Ella es el cisne resignado, predestinado a morir
This is the second Ratmansky’s production that disappointed me. First was Giselle with the Ukrainian ballet. I thought maybe due to war there was not enough time to rehearse. But now is this… very mediocre. And it’s not about extensions or other movements, it’s about general choreography. The swans with cocked heads, heavy and clumsy at times. Strange hands and feet positions. The longer tutus took away crispness and cleanliness of the lines. And what’s up with famous pas de deux starting as pas de trois? What’s that other guy is there for? To ruin the whole idea? Why, why improve something that was already beautiful?
It's a reconstruction of the original swan lake when it first performed. The second guy who dances with Siegfried and Odette was originally also danced the part-he was playing Siegfried best friend. The tutu was also originally designed like that in the first performance of Swan Lake
@@harze4201 what was his purpose? What was the storyline there?
@Tatiana-yp2bk In the original ballet storyline, he only appeared in Acts 1 and 2, mainly as Siegfried's companion and best friend. Hence, why most Swan Lake left the character entirely or replaced him as a Jester like in the Mariinsky and Bolshoi ballet. The only ballet companies that still add him to the story are New York City Ballet, The American Ballet Theatre, The Royal Ballet, and Dutch National Ballet, where he plays a slightly more active role. The Royal Ballet has him dance two pas de trois in act 1 and act 3 with Siegfried's two younger sisters. The Dutch National Ballet has him be the one who gave Siegfried the idea to go and hunt at the lake, along with being the final witness of Siegfried and Odette's tragic ending in act 4.
Pure Art, for the 1st time, not athletic-acrobatic-gymnastics form of performance but telling a story in a beautiful form of dance without exposing too much of the ballerinas’ bodies; telling the story without the need to read the synopsis of the ballet, decent beautiful clothing - nothing too short or too long, technically very strong clean performance.
This version of Swan Lake is phenomenal- a true form of art with very artistic side. By the way the dances were sort of fast; the music was going pretty fast and only real professional dancers can catch up with the tempo of the music and still looking great maintaining the look of high level of trained dancers.
It’s so interesting to see all the Flamenco elements that used to be part of the choreography.
What a gift this. I have been a fan of Swanlake since I was eight years old. I have seen all versions, but I often wondered, what would the original Petipa version look like? I guess I’ve got a glimpse of the answer here and I am loving every bit.
I’ve watched this reconstruction with great interest. The mime scenes are more present and elaborate than in current versions, making the story easier to follow, but also more static. Since Fokine introduced mime/story telling through dance, we have grown accustomed to emotions expressed through dance. To a modern audience this version could be perceived as boring quite easily. But that will do this project a great injustice. It is interesting to see a glimpse of what the public would have seen back in the day. However, although the choreography follows the dance notation (you can see Petipa’s style merging), the interpretation of the movement is still a modern one. Back in the day beauty of movement was perceived quite differently, not to mention that the dancers movements were restricted by the fact that they wore corsets. Nevertheless, this version is interesting and enthralling. And not surprisingly, a lot of the good stuff has been kept in todays performances in some way or another. It is only natural for a ballet to evolve, so it can entertain generations to come.
Jamais la grâce d’un cygne ne fût rendue avec autant de rigueur et de tendresse ❤
I love this version, it's a shame they don't continue dancing it, except at the Miami City Ballet. As a Labanotation specialist I can appreciate the importance of the reconstruction of a ballet as beautiful as Swan Lake, Ratmansky has made a careful and respectful reconstruction of the original choreography.
Lo han destrozado.
My favorite part of Swan Lake - the music and the amazing synchronization of the pas de quatre!!
Why do I love this so much??! To name a detail: gotta love the final pose of the Black swan PDD adagio. Okay, gotta watch this many times now! :-)
Semplicemente dilettantistico; povero Siegfried, ha provato, ma con un disastro ottieni disastro. Forse i dirigenti artistici della Scala, erano in vacanza in Antartica; visualmente sconcertante, dalla coroncina al costume ed i capelli che hanno creato una pessima ottica… e il notevole, amatissimo Cigno che normalmente fa piangere mi ha fatto solo ridere: di classico in questa produzione e’ soltanto lo spartito che sfortunatamente l’orchestra ha fatto come il Cigno: affrettato, meccanico, bancarellistico e basta.
Ballet was so different back then. I really think this “style” works perfectly for this piece: it feels a little bit “heavier”, which shows perfectly the bird’s struggle. Just my opinion, obviously.
Such a beautiful production marred by horrible costumes. It should be a crime to put dancers in costumes (i.e., long skirts) that cover the beautiful movements of their legs.
I believe @mrlopez-pz7pu somewhere credited the "traditional" Gamzatti variation to a ballet or scene called "L'echo". Unfortunately the video with this comment has been removed so I can't reference it.
Bravo 👏
Recommend the biography 'dancing star' by gladys malvern if interested to read more about Anna and her life.
今まで視たバヤデールの中で、最も美しいセットで目を奪われました。同時に、少し物足りなさを感じました。
Could you please post the staatsballet production of the nutcracker?
Simply spectacular 👏👏👏
В такой юбке Одетта на курицу похожа а не на лебедя - тем более что почти не летает - не танцует - а только руками все машет!😂😢
She really looks like a swan .. exceptional
Another one of Mr.Ratmansky's reconstructions has bitten the dust. RIP, Swan Lake. Thanks for the memories.
A buffet for dilettanti; how he dared to stage such a disastrous production in a colossally important temple of fine performances is beyond me… a caricature, that’s all it is, a mechanical heartless caricature.
her body has incredible mobility. but standing on the toes posture gives me the nausea. hopefully this posture will be banned from ballet - regardless of purists getting offended
So very happy to see the whole Ballet . I have seen Act 3 from this production previously , a few months ago, and loved it . Thank you for posting the whole reconstruction , recreation of Pepita's Swan Lake work
Why does this incredible performance impress so many of us who watch the ballet with tears of admiration? In my humble opinion, because it's perfectly represents the “Belle Epoque”... dying, like a beautiful and fragile swan that lived so short.
awful production , not interesting
Only watched the 3 shades. The difficulty level is significantly reduced.
Very romantic!
Eto nikamu nie nujno ! stari viechi chaine na polupalzo! pas d'action vapche cafe chantant kada pridumal genialnaia postanofka Chabukiani!
This is Petipa’s “La Bayadère”, it has nothing to do with Chabukiani, who revised Petipa’s ballet in 1941.
Ratmansky looks very sluggish between showy moments. I wonder if company class was adjusted to account for the different kind of technique purely classical ballet requires.
This is the most beautiful thing I ever saw.
Beside some idleness: Semionova is excellent!💐 The entrance of the shadows looks very nice! In the last act the invisible Bajadere dances with a living guests of the wedding?
the dancers are good and deserves not this shit
@@pediatrapaolaI dont know what is the Sergeyev - collection? Ratmansky changed the story and Coreography.
Refreshing to see the corps de ballet used as a character.
Топают как кони)
@@user-ue6sc8th7zwhy is there always people of your nationality degrading dancers of other countries on comment sections? It is starting to sound like something else. Go anywhere else with y’alls h4t3 towards these dancers!
@@user-ue6sc8th7zневежливый

No me ha gustado mucho.Parece mas un ballet de caracter que clasico...Retroceder en el tiempo no siempre es afortunado. La calidad de cuerpo de baile y bailarines principales tampoco impresiona.El mayor acierto es el vestuario.Curiosa version y siempre se agradece ver algo nuevo.
a big shit as any things where ratmansky puts his hands
I like the white act despite a lot of changes, except some strange steps for Polina near the end. I´m sure you know which one.
Excuse me, Enrico, not on my videos please. If you don’t like them, then just don’t say anything.
There is another Bajaderka on Ziskaridses channel choreo: Petipa/Vikharev Mariinsky 2003, my favorit!
also that revision is not my cup of tea @@susannevollmer2347
sorry amy l didn't say anything against the dancers that are good my critic is against the ugly revision of ratmansky so l apologize for the word shit but being this a pubblic channell about ballet l belive that an opinion about the work is not to be blamed l am not a fan of the revisions of ratmansky despite his pretense to show supposed original coreoghraphies that he probabily recives due a three legs table directly from petipa etc so if the word shit is not appropriate l made save the right to say that prsonally l don't like his revisions exactly as l always told that l didn't like the nureyev's revisions of classics that are imho a calamity .@@amygrowcott
После Анны Павловой была Галина Уланова, потом Майя Плисецкая, а затем Ульяна Лопаткина. И у каждой балет как высшая форма искусства, шедевральные и гениальные русские балерины.
I once came to visit Anna Pavlova's museum in north london, I saw a pair of ballerina shoes and his perfume on the drawer, I never knew which fragrance she weared.
I'm kinda surprised that the 3rd shade variation is not as fast as I expected, unlike in Doug Fullington's reconstruction of the choreography. Anyways, thank you so much for uploading this reconstruction, I've grown really fond of La Bayadere. ❤
I've been looking for this Ratmansky production made in Munich for a long time! Would you be able to post the full ballet please? given that it seems the ballet is taken out of the Bayern Ballet repertory, It would be very so nice to keep a video of it...
