Esmeralda Pas de deux, Hannah O'Neill and Hugo Marchand 2016

Opéra de Paris, Bolshoi Theater, Benois de la danse Gala

[@yoshikooharu876]

Wow! Stunning! They are both beautiful and wonderful dancers!! Much love from Japan...

[@gretahassock8914]

Excellent that Hannah I Neil is now an etoile at the Paris Opera she has reached the stars

[@mariteix]

One of the most beautiful performances of Esmeralda Variation. I have rarely seen it so perfect. All of pas-de-deux was very good.

[@nicolereding7234]

Magnifique danseur, excellence technique, nouvelle génération comme Anna O Neil brillante a Lausanne🌻💫💫💫🌻☄️☄️

[@cynthiafletcher9845]

Very elegant performance by both dancers!! C❤❤❤

[@SnowFlakeBee]

Her variation was fabulous. Gave me goosebumps!

[@maesroger8054]

Très beau pas de deux, merci! Et d'autant plus précieux que "La Esmeralda" est trop peu donnée. Premier danseur depuis novembre 2015, Hugo Marchand a un physique parfait, la souplesse, l'élégance, des ports de bras admirables: un danseur étoile en devenir...

[@francoiseriviere7795]

vous ne croyiez pas si bien dire : il l'est devenu !!

[@Lalegendaire]

D'ailleurs, ça vient de quel ballet ça? De toutes les versions de la Esmeralda que j'ai regardé, il n'y a jamais eu cette variation.

[@minissa2009]

Does POB actually use "premier danseur" for both men and women? Because "danseur" as used in English is usually the man and "dansuese" or just "ballerina" for the girl. I know it's the rank below etoile.

[@rogermaes6001]

@@minissa2009 Sorry but I don't quite understand your criticism: I'm only talking about the dancer, Hugo Marchand, and not about any "danseuse". The ranks at the Opera are as follows: Quadrille, Choryphée, Sujet, Premier danseur, Danseur Etoile. In fact "Danseur étoile" is more a title than a rank. It is granted by the management of the Opera and announced to the dancer at the end of a performance in front of the public. It is an honorary reward, but it doesn't confer a special status on the person concerned: there are no roles superior to those already given to the first dancers. The title dates from 1937 for women (Alberte Aveline) and 1940 for men (Serge Peretti). Thanks for the message.

[@tarantellalarouge7632]

Hannah O'Neill deserves to be Etoile at l'Opéra de Paris ! Hugo Marchand also, but he is already an Etoile ... his solo is explosive !

[@lavandeyracaro]

Just promoted🎉🎉🎉!

[@tarantellalarouge7632]

@@lavandeyracaro yes it is well deserved, beautiful very talented ballerina !

[@balletbonnie01]

Omg he's beautiful dancer!! He has something very special... star quality and a charming presence! I can just imagine him in a year or two. Voila! ETOILE

[@minissa2009]

It's getting hard to find this full pdd since Bolshoi staged the full production (often this search gets you the one where Esmeralda is really sad she's dancing at the engagement party of the man she loves, different music, and a small corps). Thank you so much! Have not seen either dancer before and have fallen in love with both!

[@LoreDana2]

Bellissimi e bravissimi 😍

[@gretahassock8914]

Muy fina showing the beauty of the dance

[@petertotaro8520]

FANTASTIC! By far, one of the most beautiful Pas de deux you will ever see on stage!

[@oliverdownunder9397]

Peter Totar you're kidding right? He is and will be more stunning. She is nice....ok but no genius! Are you her husband?

[@Lulu-sg2iq]

You apparently haven't watched many Pas de Deux

[@michelboudot2882]

They are both beautiful. She is a bit unsure..will be great when that pas de deux will be under her belt. He is great

[@giuliorenzobighin8165]

Ottimo mantenimento delle pose figurali alcune delle quali inedite nell'ensemble duale. Ottima ed imperativa occupazione totale dello spazio proscenico a balzi aperti e spettacolari da parte del ballerino. Impressione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito da parte di entrambi. OLTREMODO BRAVI. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO

[@gretahassock8914]

For me this is the best interpretation of this ballet

[@gretahassock8914]

Hannah O'Neil is an excellent dancer from the Paris Opera would like to see her dance with Xander Parish get partner here is also an excellent dancer both tecnically good artistic and dance with feeling

[@gretahassock8914]

He displays joy in the dance

[@gretahassock8914]

One of my favourite dancers I generally think those Russian trained r best but she is exceptional

[@helazemni1683]

Don't forget the French Ballet dancers 😉

[@gretahassock8914]

Hugh March and has great charissima

[@gretahassock8914]

Apart from tecnique both show feeling for the part and a love of the dance

[@gretahassock8914]

Unforgettable preformance

[@irinasouvandjiev761]

Is the Esmeralda ballet actually used? I know there's a hunchback ballet, but the music of the finale here really reminded me of le corsaire

[@danali45]

I think the videos do not completely do her justice. She really has something more on stage. Really poetic ballerina.

[@Lulu-sg2iq]

No

[@santi7616]

Fantastic video¡¡¡ Thank you very much for this video. This couple is sensational. I already had seen them dancing separately, and they are admirable, Hannah O'Neill and Hugo Marchand, in my opinion among the best dancers in the world, great great dancers¡¡¡ I admire them both a lot, but I had never seen them dance together ¡¡¡ until now, and I am delighted with this video, they both are magnificent. simply, ideal. wow, what a lovely couple and fantastic dancers. the variations are stunning ¡¡¡ which are both great. I've really had a great time watching this video offering first class ballet. Thank you again for this video¡¡¡ :-)

[@gretahassock8914]

Would like to see her dance with Zander Parish

[@gretahassock8914]

Hannah o'neil and get partner excellent da colour to the music in a oar with the Marinsky stars

[@najopatrin2284]

On a entendu peu de ce danseur étoile Hugo MARCHAND qui est-il vraiment? il est peu connu Aux Antilles, On cannait Manuel LEGRIS, Karl PAQETTE, ...

[@najopatrin2284]

J'espère qu'il le sera dans un futur proche, on voit très peu Ballet classique à la Guadeloupe et Martinique pour tant il y a des endroit qu'ils peuvent être reçu.

[@gretahassock8914]

These to dancers r not russian nor trained in Russia but they r exceptional both have star quality

[@bentoucourt]

Normal..... they are from Opera de PARIS

[@lydiapnevmaticou3857]

Maybe they have Russian teachers at the Opera...

Not at all ! I don't know why you say that... She looks marvelous ! She doesn't look "nervious" like you say

I agree, particularly into the pas de deux
