La Bayadère: A Masterpiece with Aurélie Dupont & Josua Hoffalt | Paris Opera Ballet

[@emitch9213]

La Bayadere is a genius of beauty with the Act of Shades. I am always sublimely satisfied by the choreography. The corp years of training and rehearsals is the triumph to the excellence for Shades. Just exquisite in and of itself. Brava.

So amazing. Lol but the clapping for 15 min when these beautiful people just want to take their shoes off and chill. That was cool still. So beautiful

The performance by the French artists was truly wonderful.

this performance was memorable ❤ it's a joy to watch from the beginning till the end . The cast is fabulous , I loved a lot the performance of Joshua Hoffalt ,he had been named étoile just a few days before the recording of this performance when danced with Dorothée Gilbert who was supposed to dance this night but finally was replaced by the premiere danseuse Ludmila Pagliero ,what a great ballerina !!! it is also interesting to see in this performance Valentine Colasante and Héloïse Bourdon 😊 Ludmila Pagliero as Gamzatti is stellar , grandiose , her grand pas is magnificent ,actually she was named étoile that evening ❤😊!!! Sabrina Mallem danced fabulously the drums dance , she was splendida ,what a performance . I even saw te still unknown Hannah O'Neill in the corps de ballet ,now she's a super star and danced Gamzatti just three years after this filmed performance. I think this march 2012 performance will remain as one of the most important performances of these years ❤

Espléndido y bellisimo ballet con la grandiosa coreografía de Rudolf Nureyev. Vi este ballet en La Bastilla y fue impresionante. Maravillosa Bailarina, Aurelie Dupont.🌹🌹🌹🌹

Лучшая на все времена Изабель Герен в роли Никии, в дуэте с Лоран Илер, а так же Гамзатти - Элизабет Платель! Счастлива, что видела эту премьеру в 1992 в Опера Гарнье в Париже!

The sounds comes and goes...Shame!

I dont understand what some of you are raving about - the dancers are weak or at the very least, they are merely acceptable regarding technique. The acting is dry to non-existent. Nureyev's typically pretentious and unnecessary revisions in the choreography are silly. Only the orchestra redeems this performance - for years the POB had to deal with lackluster playing of Minkus's score when they performed Nureyev's "La Bayadère"...but now the orchestra, at least at the Opéra Bastille, sounds light years better, though unfortunately they have to play in the absurdly tempi that today's dancers prefer for many of the pure dance numbers such as the Golden Idol or the Entrée of the Shades.
