Don Quixote grand pdd - Dorothée Gilbert and Karl Paquette

[@ASAS-su3vm]

Nuryev's choreography is very complex, the dancers dance variations perfectly, bravo, greetings from Lithuania

[@cougar2002law]

Amazing. The costuming is magnificent. I’ve not seen this ballet. I already love it! Thank you for sharing.

[@assk3378]

Rien de très extraordinaire… surtout quand on garde le souvenir des fabuleux Patrick Dupont et Sylvie Guillem.

[@ОльгаВасильева-ъ1е]

Да,в Мариинском,у нас в Петербурге Сильви когда то танцевала ДОН КИХОТ с Заклинским в нашей версии. Это было в 1990 году. Для меня, для большинства зрителей это был чудесный праздник! Фейерверк, огонь радости,молодости, счастья любви ! Это была Жар - птица !... А здесь... недоразумение.

[@natatata1711]

​@@ОльгаВасильева-ъ1е очень нравился Заклинский, в Жизели до слёз. А потом забвение, что-то о нем известно?

[@BrunaPacheco]

I love this version! Thank you for sharing this amazing video Ewaasia!!

[@sweetaliena]

Me too! Rudolph's versions are so clever, with a lot of meaning and depth. Bolshoi's Raymonda is the only version I really love beside the POB. I like some other versions but I'm never fully satisfied. I think the POB's La Bayadère is best production of all.

[@sweetaliena]

Very true! One should have an open mind to watch any Nureyev's ballet. For exemple, his Romeo and Juliet is difficult to intake and to understand but when you understand the actual meaning for the piece, it's absolutely genius!

[@pascalebarcat9052]

Du super boulot merci!

[@fabiesque]

c'est de plus en plus dure aujourd'hui de trouver des gens qui dansent bien et impeccable le répertoire.....

[@elsa7250]

je suis aller le voir il n'y a pas longtemps au ballet du capitol ( avec les danseur de toulouse a toulouse) et s'etais magnifique les étoile etais bien dans leurs roles (oui mtn il y a des etoiles a toulouse) je trouvais ça mieux que eux

[@sweetaliena]

It was very lovely!

[@pediatrapaola]

off course ,and saw rudy many times at his time ,and prefear him like a dancer ,surely you know that many dance critics are very cold with his revision of classics.

[@christinestill5002]

I must have a dozen versions of this saved! Yes, balancing on a single toe must be incredibly difficult but when it makes u feel nervous because she is wobbling, then it is no longer beautiful, to me. She does many other feats that are amazing. Is that the purpose? Nice to see some other -than-Russian dancers!

[@pediatrapaola]

true ,since vaziev became director la scala improved very much ,his experience brought all one other atmosphere ,he is doing a lot in renewing programs and giving great occasions to younger promising dancer,last time l went to la scala was to see osipova with safaranov in don q ,alas of nureyev.

[@Ewaasia]

So what? There is always a division of opinion. I can quote one of the previous comments: "Rudolph's versions are so clever, with a lot of meaning and depth". I'd add they're difficult in reception so they're not for everyone, also because of specific esthetics.

[@nicolehourcade]

Unfortunately when you see Kimin Kim and V Treshkinabor Calis Acosta and Nunez it is quite different!

[@jillgooner]

not a patch on nunez and acosta. she lights up the stage and everything she does seems without effort, She wobbles which is very unnerving and he looks unsure of himself. The musics rythme at times seems very slow and some of the choreography is too calculated and stiff. Nureyevs versions of ballets wernt everyones cup of tea as it was often over the top but that was his character in real life but everyone likes certain performances for different reasons.

[@nicolehourcade]

I agree but at present time the best pair i see technically and with a sparkling interpretation is definitely Kim and Tereshkina, of course Kim with Obratzova is also amazing, his Basilo is already a legend.When i saw him as Solor in Paris in 2015 ,invitation of Benjamin Millepied he was breathtaking and he won the “Benoit de la danse” for his Solor in Paris.

[@kdub10009]

Dorothee Gilbert is normally the best of the etoiles, but it looks like she was coming back from an injury here (?). That’s not how her arabesque used to look. See: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp2qZZyGbd5pgac

[@Ewaasia]

Indeed, it's really elegant and dignified choreography in some way. I love his versions of classics and now I cannot watch Sleeping beauty, Raymonda and DQ by others. I would add his Romeo and Juliet - it's absolutely wonderful and for me the best, but in case of that ballet I am able to watch McMillan's choreography which is also very good (but not as good as Nureyev's version for me).

[@alainspiteri502]

Ewaasia : j read here a comment j prefer dancer Noureev , j think also . Ballet Paris has all choreographies of Noureev very very bad : " La Tempête " " Two Brothers " " Washington-Square " , and also all versions Petipa by Noureev : only two ballets are in history-dance : " Romeo-juliette " and " La Bayadere " with Act III 100/100 Petipa and no more ! ! The others ballets are less good that coreographers at Paris 1) " Casse noisette " and " Sleeping-beauty " less good that Rosella Hightower versions 1983 2) Raymonda is not danced at Paris too demonstration technical with version Noureev 3) Swan-Lake men variations and nothing more 4) " Don Quichotte " what is this ? ? what more than others coreographers ? For me Noureev is in history Dance mostly as a famous Dancer and with his " La Bayadere and no more . There is on youtube also " Romeo-Juliette " by John Cranko , j prefer it . Fortunately Paris-Opera has one hundred choreographers and always News talents !

[@genevievemaurer6099]

Manque de précision de D Gilbert. La chorégraphie ?!

[@bentoucourt]

Elle est parfaite !

[@pediatrapaola]

yes it is .this remind me how l am old ,when l visited vaganova accademy in 1979 mr k sergeyev introduced us Vikharev ,last year student ,as a very promising dancer.alas time goes.

[@pediatrapaola]

sincearly in some revision more than other l see many nevrotic useles steps and too long often boring solos that rudy created for male main roles in order to give more time on stage to himself ,pessonally l on't fell the necessity to revise the perfect work of petipa.off course is one opinion an his contribution in maledancing development is anyway priceless.

[@r.r.c7692]

7 years ago. Whatever. There is no link between petipa and the current don quixote version, not even the story. Nowadays versions are based on Gorski's production (1900), he changed almost everything. Petipa hated gorski's version. Then a lot of changes happened during soviet era. The current "classical" version is from Pyotr Gusev (1946), it is still in mariinski's repertory. Among petipa's ballet, don quixote is the less authentic.

[@candicebauounk8262]

Where is elegance? I though I am watching opera de Paris....

[@pediatrapaola]

which one do you mean?la scala alas has in his repertoire all the coreographies of nureyev that are ,if must be really sincere ,a calamity for the world.off course is one opinion.

I really love Karl Paquette but I must say that this performance is not of his best.

[@DADA090161]

visiblement ils n'étaient pas dans une forme "olympique"....mais je ne comprend pas qu'un K. Paquette soit passé "étoile" et qu'Emmnuel Thibault soit toujours "1er Danseur"..le changement de direction "oxygénera" la procédure je pense !

[@charlottecha9590]

david thefairy je suis heureuse de voir que le temps ne vous a pas donné forcément raison. Karl est une étoile appréciée, un danseur qui dure, danse encore tous les rôles du répertoire à 41 ans. Et à illuminé Don Quichotte malgré un physique qui décline un peu. C'est un superbe danseur

[@alainspiteri502]

@@charlottecha9590 : vous êtes bien jeune , il est évident que vous ignorez ce qu'est un Danseur étoile de l' Opéra de Paris . Je peux vous dire que depuis 1965 avec Cyril Atanassoff j'ai connu les célébrités de l'opéra de Paris : vous n'avez aucune idée de ce qu'est une étoile de l'opéra de Paris , première scène mondiale avec le Bolchoi et le Kirov et c'est normal . Le VHS a fait son apparition dans les années 77-80 et les films de ballets antérieurs à 1980 peuvent se compter sur les doigts d'une main ! et sur KZbin pas de vidéos des Danseurs étoiles de l'opéra de Paris ( parmis lesquels des Danseurs Internationaux ) avant 1975 , des Danseurs invités par toutes les grandes scènes mondiales et qui dansaient avec toutes les plus fameuses étoiles Internationales de l'époque , voilà ce qu'est un Danseur étoile de l'Opera de Paris . Wilfried Romoli nommé étoile très tard a beaucoup plus dansé que Paquette , Olivier Patey est resté premier Danseur , a bcp dansé aussi ( les Études de Lancer bien sûr ) . A mon avis une audience qui apprécie Paquette en temps que Danseur Étoile est le fait de personnes qui n'ont jamais vus les célèbres danseurs de l'opéra de Paris , c'est mon point de vue par expérience .

[@MrLuis85698]

this was disastrous , she got off point like three times

[@ОльгаВасильева-ъ1е]

Привыкшей к версии нашего любимого Мариинского театра, мне с трудом удалось сдержать раздражение. В нашей петербургской версии этот дуэт Китри и Базиля - это очень динамичный танец, это праздник молодости, песня любви,красоты ! А здесь, по - моему, полное непонимание смысла.Замедленный темп, "рваные" антимузыкальные паузы, манерничание иногда на грани кривляния, нарочитая демонстрация якобы апломба, который у хорошей танцовщицы должен быть "в крови", а не вымученная попытка долго постоять на ноге, какая то нелепая физкультура, иногда танец просто замирает. Зачем ??...

about nothing... посмотрите наши постановки, и вы поймете насколько эта хореография скудна, об исполнении молчу - в чем интерес замедления темпа на вариации Китри вообще не понятно, ну а фуэте было настолько медленным, что я боялась она упадет...
