HARLEQUINADE Pas de Deux (Drigo / Balanchine)

This was a live performance from the White House during the Carter Admission. Patricia McBride and Mikhail Baryshnikov in the Act I adagio and solos and coda from Act II. Balanchine originally choreographed these roles for McBride and Edward Villella.

Thank you for posting all your wonderful film clips. I am a broken-down old ballerina, but when I watch your videos I come back to life. What a treat to see Patty McBride dance, she a long with Violette Verdy and Kay Mazzo were three of my favorites.

John, l am stuck on your channel! l know little if anything about ballet, but l must say l'm learning much about the art from your videos, and commentary. Question; What is the name of the lift they do at about 34 seconds? l love that lift wherever l see it. Thank You. :)

Thx and that’s a Pas de Chat lift done in a Balanchine style.

incredible part of Baryshnikov, so artistic, charismatic and superprofessional, but the ballerina is like a hippo, compared to him... big and thick, lack of charm and grace...

You have smoked some crack there sir.
