Derevyanko is the best Mercutio ever,heartbreaking! A genius.

[@nutch2012]

I very much love this ballet. Fine choreography of Grigorovich. Vetrov was very good Tibald, he danced with great inspiration.

[@gincial]

Thanks for posting this - the best Romeo and Juliet version. Yuri Grigorovich is amazing. He knows his "jumpers" and put them to show the world how a proper Russian Ballet is done!!! Otlichna!

[@ahiru2010]

I want to see this in whole ballet!!! This choreography is so cool, and this Mercutio is brilliant.

[@BytomGirl]

This Mercutio is even better, the video quality is not so great though... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIOunamkYr2BnZY

[@pediatrapaola]

l was in rome at this performance long ago great cast derevianko vetrov possokov .great times

[@ballet701]

First time I have seen this choreography. It makes me want to see the whole ballet.A great twist ona a fantastic ballet. The dancing was brilliant.

[@pptya1004]

the character is Tybalt, and the dancer is Aleksandr Nikolayevich Vetrov(one of my favorites) :)

[@tiggywinkle20]

Hurray! Someone at last who admires Alexander Vetrov. I loved him as Tybalt. He went to the States with his wife and son, joined a company and rejoined the Bolshoi as teacher I believe. Is he still there? I think he was superb and was a big admirer at the time. I have the dvd of his Tybalt and a book with photos of that video. Still have a large photo of him as Tybalt on my wardrobe. I was always wondering about his parents. Was Tamara Vetrov his mother. I know his father was a great teacher and he is related to Yuri Vetrov somehow. I never completely found out. Thank you for posting.🇬🇧

[@Karamazov5]

@@tiggywinkle20 Yes, he is a very important teacher at the Bolshoi now. I am also a big admirer of him! He has a great genius for dance. Thank goodness he can give his students a lasting, very special guidance. Right now is not a good time at the Bolshoi with Vaziev and Gergiev.

[@pediatrapaola]

yes me too l saw many times derevianko here in italy he is great dancer alsoif very particular vetrov also is a great interesting tybald

[@angelastefanescu]

The russian ballet school is well-known.Exceptional-dans and music.Thank you Shela2

[@RodasdeLohr]

Wonderful! I have been looking for this particular scene for years! Thank-you for such a beautiful download! Maria

[@tiggywinkle20]

This video was posted years ago. I wonder if anyone will reply to my positive comments on Alexander Vetrov in this role as Tybalt. Thank you.🇬🇧

[@aiolosgr]

Vetrov was astonishing, saw the ballet in 1987 in Athens.

[@violetaghe]

Thanks, I love it.....

[@RodasdeLohr]

The music is from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikowsky; "Tchaikovsky wrote several works well known among the general classical public-Romeo and Juliet".

[@BytomGirl]

No it's not. It's Prokofiev

[@RodasdeLohr]

Hello, I had the same question a few weeks ago and I got the following answer from a Vetrov Fan : "Romeo&Juliet... Hi, you know that there is a DVD out of this ballet by the Bolshoi and starring A.Vetrov as Tybalt but no one else from this particular clip which I understand is from Russian TV. "

[@tiggywinkle20]

To Maria Muller. You wrote this 15 years ago. There is a dvd of Vetrov as Tybalt and I have it. It was filmed for Russia by the Japanese. A bit dark in places but fantastic dancing from all. I was disappointed in Bessmertnova’s dress. Not really suitable for that particular period. She was great dancer with superb legs. Hope you found dvd.🇬🇧

[@SilverInsanity]

It's the "Dance of the Knights" by Sergei Prokofiev, from his Romeo and Juliet.

[@urssulas]

why, it's such a piece it is:) you should be able to get it almost anywhere;)

[@pediatrapaola]

@magnumSuper l well remember l saw on vhs with possokov as romeo and must watch among my old vhs i will see

[@magnumSuper]

@pediatrapaola I'm afraid that vhs was that one I told you about - Gioco Dell'Eroe by RAI, a Grigorovitch gala in circo Massimo in the vicinity of Rome in 1990.

[@magnumSuper]

@pediatrapaola That's right, but his attack and intensity was fabulous and remained insurpassed. It's not "too mush miming", it was 100 percent miming part. Like Girei in The Fountain of Bahkchisarai. Look, the point here is not just dancing, but image.

[@XAMTAPO]

Что там за гигантская ступа на заднем плане?

[@pediatrapaola]

@magnumSuper no did a mistake was the tentative in my opinion yuri vasyucenko,performing in rome spartak and principal roles in many bolchoi old vhs.anyway i am sure l saw a complete with possokov

[@LacyLuvsGodiva]

I loved Vetrov, though I prefer Cervilio Amador's Mercutio. Now that's just my personal opinion, don't burn me for it!

[@beatrizdepaz9506]

You're right it happen to me.

[@pediatrapaola]

@magnumSuper l must have in my colletion if find will copy for you and send ,after sacha vetrov is greatest tybald,

[@pediatrapaola]

@magnumSuper YES L AM SURE HE DID OF HIS BEST,BUT WAS NOT PARTICULARY EXITING AND TECNICALLY STRONG,FOR THAT LEVEL OFF COURSE.SAW HIM ALSO ONE OTHER TIME IN VIENNA HE DID A RATHER NOT EXITING DON Q THE GALA HAD ALSO IREK AS SPARTAK AND TSIVIN IN BAYADERE,AND FANTASTIC MARIA BYLOVA SUPER IN SPRING WATER WITH NIKONOV.YES IT WAS AT THAT GALA WAS AT CIRCO MASSIMO.

[@pediatrapaola]

@magnumSuper may be .i saw live that show ,in that occasion spartak was the tentative imo yuri possokov.l have one entire collection of bolchoi whs many principal part are performed by him ,l could not undrestand why,he was not among the best of that period.anyway l will have a look ,l have hundred old vhs let me see.

[@pediatrapaola]

@magnumSuper l know l told in the correction message l sent,a not particulary gifted dancer,at certain level off course ,do you agree?I SAW THAT EVENT LIVE IN ROME .

[@juneforbes]

Whose choreography is this???

[@pediatrapaola]

l know was a great dancer ,one of the best his picture as vajun god of wind in talisman prove his strenght,but sadly in lavrovsky version only mime role for tybald ,as you know,apart that yermolayev was already no longer youth.

[@magnumSuper]

oh, and Nutcraker.

[@Orangigi]

It's Prokofiev.

[@pediatrapaola]

@magnumSuper too much mimed yermolayev never really dance,is great pity,because nothing filmed with him.i lavrovsky's version tybald never dance just mime.
