'Grand Pas de Deux - Adagio' - NUTCRACKER (Tchaikovsky) - National Opera of Ukraine

[@marinapadilla105]

I cry from such a beautiful melody and such a beautiful interpretation, I am not a dancer, but I always dreamed of being one and interpreting this song ... it moves me so much.

[@marybrit]

If you love it this much you should take ballet classes (I hope you do!) just for the love of doing it. Written by someone who had the opportunity to be a ballet dancer and world failed to me. Just do it for fun ♥️

[@alo4020]

I always cry 😭

[@lisaboynton1923]

I cry over the beauty of this music every time I hear it. ❤️

[@susanabeatriz6240]

I think the same!

[@87396674]

I too, love, love, love this music. But I always hear deep sadness and great tragedy in it. Just feel that it doesn't belong to a sweet story like the Nut Cracker but more for The Swan Lake.

[@leerequiem]

The Nutcracker has the best pas de deux and music It's what makes it magic

[@yelenagorodkova5305]

When Tchaikovskij was finishing Nutcracker, his beloved sister died. What you hear is Requiem to his sister. That is why its in Minor tone instead of Major. And that why this music is so moving and emotional.

Shout out for the conductor and orchestra! It should sound this exciting, but doesn't always.

[@Riverside1962]

Absolutely agree! My local symphony orchestra performed ActII complete in a concert performance three weeks ago. I attended a rehearsal for it, and the conductor was saying that this segment was her favourite part of the whole ballet. The performance was absolutely thrilling.

[@tia904]

To me, this piece has a certain sadness and tragedy... The smile of the ballerina and poses don't work here at all...

[@ritawing1064]

@@tia904 others agree with you: the tone certainly isnot what one would expect in context. I have seen this attributed to tragedy in Tchaikovsky's personal life, a recent family loss, but don't know if this is the case or not.

[@joannabeyer2440]

The Orchestral side of this performance was equally stunning! 😍 I play Flute & piccolo & those tough & extremely intricate Piccolo passages were the cleanest & most stunning rendition of this I’ve EVER heard!! 🥰🪈🩰 Bravo! 🥳

[@WarwickAiken]

That synchrony and symbiosis between a towering Russian composer and Ukrainian artists leaves me anguished, How similar are the peoples of both nations. How loved are the great Russian artists by not just Ukrainians but the world. I dream of a time when the two nations resume brotherly and sisterly bonds.

[@sixteenstringjack]

So well said

[@shirokastranamoya]

There are no Ukrainian artists, there is just a unique Russian ballet school.. As a ballerina, there is no politics in my words, just common sense. People tend to forget or not remark obvious things

[@Dima.Demidov]

@@shirokastranamoya Is the Russian school of ballet the Vaganova method? So, Vaganova’s method is a way to teach a simplified version of French ballet, the way Vaganova understood it, in the opinion of Petipa himself, she understood it very approximately and flatly. This is not “Russian ballet”, but a Soviet castrated version of French ballet, there is a lot of sports and pathos in it. In Kyiv, even before Vaganova, ballet was taught by real French and Italians who were fully proficient in ballet technique. After the October Revolution, almost everyone went abroad. Fortunately, recently ballet schools in both Russia and Ukraine practically do not follow Vaganova’s method of teaching Soviet ballet. indeed, there is no politics (I mean the conventional sense of the word) in your comment, but there is pure disgusting Russian chauvinism...

That was magnificent. I truly think this music is one of the most romantic and moving pieces ever written. And I’m always amazed that all these lifts come at the end of a 2 hour ballet when the dancers must be tired. Incredible.

[@JamVinRad]

I like this performance very much. It has classical simplicity, elegance and youthfulness. As a musician (but not a dancer), I especially appreciate that the physical gestures perfectly correspond to the musical gestures. In many of the versions I've seen at youtube the choreography simply doesn't fit the music.

[@arianamauery9281]

I like this one too. The choreography for the pas de deux that I think Peter Wright did was kind of restrained. The subtlety didn’t work with this music.
