Bolshoi Ballet- Coppelia: Mazurka

The Act I Mazurka of Coppelia performed by the Bolshoi Ballet, 2011. Music by Leo Delibes.

[@gutsfinky]

How can anyone watch this and NOT smile?! Beautiful, fun and happy.

[@ravoreidna4601]

Not only smile but also tears of happyness!

[@gokturk2383]

Not only graceful dance but orchestra also at the pinnacle of their performance. Bravo to both.

[@frankfinner5272]

I have been at the Bolshoi about 4 weeks ago, at the last performance of Coppelia (at least in this season). Same scenery and choreography like in this video. Simply wonderful! And by far not as expensive as I had expected, 70€ for very good seats at the very best ballet theatre in the world is a fair price.

Une perfection ! Rien de gymnique ici ainsi que l’on peut en faire reproche à certains ballets occidentaux. Que de l’artistique, de la subtilité et de la finesse. On en oublierait combien cet art est difficile tant la joie est présente et offerte au public.

Years ago I danced myself in Coppelia, but in another choreography . Specially the music is so delightfull and uplifting. Love it. .

I saw the Coppelia valley for the first time. Dance, costumes, stage production, and music are in harmony with the completion. Amazing! ️‼ ️‼ ️

In 1700s, which earlier had its own empire, was invaded by 3 other empires-' Russia. Prussian, + Austrian, regained unity + independence after WW I, but lost some land, at least to Ukraine.

The first ballet I watched at the National theatre.. Didn't even know what ballet it was as I was too young then.. But I went home with this mazurka music playing in my head. Only realised it was Coppelia many years later. :D

Oh! Wow! Wonderful,wonderful. There are no words to fully express what the Bolshoi project onto the stage. Whether it be Coppelia,Swan Lake,or,any of many ballets,they are,without doubt the best.

Same with me. I danced this mazurka at the age of 8 when I took ballet lessons. It brings a tear to my eye whenever I listen and see any of the representations of Coppélia.

[@yuriyemb1464]

One can talk about costumes, talk whether it is mazurka or mazur one thing is clear: in comparison with the Bolshoi dance all other performances look like amature ones. So, watch and enjoy

[@marcoricci55]

Yup, Yuri, you´re damn right. The only thing that I´d point out is the cadence (too fast in my understanding) of the mazurka. It has nothing to do with the expertise of the dancers, but I guess it would give them more grace, that´s undoubtful.

[@pbrower2a1]

And that is the point. Art needs not be completely authentic at the expense of its value to entertain and awe us. So what if the set designer got a word or name to have elements of writing inconsistent with Polish, using a Greek-Cyrillic gamma for a G and a Czech hacek over the z, neither of which would appear in either Polish or German. And if it is a French composer who created the music of the mazurka --it is spirited music befitting the ballet. Must one be Austrian to write a waltz?

[@kristianmantel1348]

bela Bartok Mikrokosmos 1

[@yuriyemb1464]

You see, Marco, the music of the dance is probably too fast for mazurka so dancers I think do not have an opportunity to be more graceful. But these are the laws of the genre

Most of my life I did not know this beautiful piece. Being a cosmopolite commoner and eclectic, need is to say that Delibes did a great work, and also did it the famed Bolshoi Ballet. Bravo.

[@sylwiatime]

Actually Delibes plagiarised the mazurka from Moniuszko, a Polish 19th century composer. While Moniuszko's opera wasn't allowed to be staged (the Russians had censored it) it was published, and Delibes found the notes and later said that he thought it was a folk tune.

Andrzej Adamowicz There are definite aspects of the Hungarian Czardasz in this Mazurka - the Australian version was more authentically Polish.

Please watch ZPiT Śląsk or ZPiT Mazowsze and then write about high level of performance.

[@susandavenport1569]

@@jankowalski-lg6bs As I have had some instruction from a Polish folk dance instructor years ago, I recognise the basic step used in this choreography is NOT correct, one aspect being they have "scissor" feet, not the gliding step, and they are using the skate step as a basic step, but some of the other steps are authentically Polish. Sorry, but I can't remember the Polish /French names of the steps (the Bird is one of them) Perhaps they have made it more balletic, Rusified or maybe it is more Hungarian? It is nice to watch, but it upsets me if people think that is the basic Polish Mazur.
