Manuel Paruccini as Carabosse

[@ferencrupeck845]

I absolutely love this portrayal of Carabosse. An inspired & brilliant performance.

Absolutely gorgeous! Bravoooooooooo!!!

I like that the wicked fairy has a spouse. It gives her more back-story. They seem quite a loving, if somewhat misunderstood, little family troup.

Super !!!!!! UAAAULLLL!!!

[@sergemanguette9104]

bravissimo!

I think the Carabosse's Cavalier idea is somewhat intriguing. Is he her husband, or just her significant other, or what? 😉

[@davidlogan4329]

Very well done. Carabosse must always be the arch fiend, always evil. To downplay the role robs the audience of supreme dramatic tension.

[@herrbrucvald6376]

Why is the 'Liiac' Fairy dressed in green?

[@julistarling8382]

I think maybe those are her green leaves for her lilac flower. Admittedly it does tend to look a bit weird though. And they should have at least made the lilac part the *bigger* part and/or the more *obvious* part of her dress. Sigh. 😕

Interesting, but I prefer Sir Anthony Dowell as Carabosse in The Royal Ballet production.

[@Roheryn100]

He is fabulously wicked !

[@julistarling8382]

Do you think her rats get to live in her dungeon or sleep in her bed with her or what do they do at home? Just wondering.

[@julistarling8382]

I don't think she would (need to) bring her husband or boyfriend with her to help her put a curse on the princess. He could have just stayed home. On the other hand, I suppose that if she *didn't* bring her...male attendant...with her...then we'd never get to know that she even *had* one. @___@

Assuming Disney has a bit to answer for, I'd assumed he was meant to be some kind of familiar (ala Diavolo the Raven), rather than a love interest.

[@edwardarckless3112]

Well it is not the Royal Ballet London just a bit on the take. Edward Arckless

[@jasonhurd4379]

This is the first time I've seen Carabosse with her own Cavalier. Most unusual. It's an intriguing idea, but it doesn't quite work, at least not in this performance. It dilutes her wickedness, and makes her seem weak. Best to stick with the original libretto, I'd say.

[@shialtin]

I'd assumed he was meant to be her familiar, whether a Disney style raven, or an oversized bat, I'm not sure.

[@julistarling8382]

Rat-drawn chariot. Interesting touch. (Only some versions have that.)
