The plot of the ballet Le Corsaire contains all the components required to make it a success with the audience: a story about pirates with a shipwreck, abductions, loving passions and perfidious treachery... Moreover there is the variety of the cast and the choreography, the oriental flavour of the vivid costumes, the exotic character dances and the triumphant harmony of classicism. It is not by chance that this ballet has been in the international repertoire for more than a century and a half. It traces its roots back to the mid 19th century, when the composer Adolphe Adan wrote a score based on the plot of George Byron's poem The Corsair, while the choreographer Joseph Mazilier created the dances and in 1856 staged his production at the Opéra de Paris. Since then who has not laid his or her hands on it. New scenes appeared in the ballet, the score came to feature musical extracts by other composers and, in a word, Le Corsaire set out on an independent voyage taking in the stages of Europe. It came to St Petersburg thanks to the choreographer Jules Perrot, and Marius Petipa ennobled the loudly-screeching diversity of the Eastern bazaar with the refined classical scene Le Jardin animé. To us, too, Le Corsaire has come down as a colourful marathon of varied dances, intermingled with pantomime explanations of the relationships between the characters. The dances in the production involve the corps de ballet as well as the soloists. The choreography presents, in all its beauty, the expressive means of virtuoso classical dance, both female and male: in the ballet there are two ballerina roles and three male principal roles. And the few young dancers do not dream of dazzling with virtuoso technique in the variations and duets in this ballet, of interrupting well-earned applause with their perfect performance of fouettés or diagonals that stun the imagination with their flying tricks.

What do you prefer to watch - a gala or a whole ballet? If at one moment in time there will be Le Corsair of the Mariinsky Theater and a gala concert with the participation of world stars - where will you go?

[@celester.812]

Maria Khoreva a whole ballet ❤️

[@arcana-silvae8263]

A whole ballet please 💐💐💐

[@tinachung7640]

Whole ballet🥰

[@francescamarrollo3931]

I prefer to watch whole ballets, though gala concerts often give you the opportunity to see many stars that you couldn't normally see perform if you can't travel to their theatres and they don't normally visit your city or country, for example. So in the end, even if I prefer whole ballets, I think I'd go to the gala .

[@Julie-hq8rs]

Whole ballet 🥰

[@adamkozowski7510]

Maria, you are excellent dancer and actress. Not only your moves but also your face and eyes perfectly show emotions. I am very impressed.

[@gianniangelucci8641]

Bravissima la giovane Maria Khoreva , una ballerina straordinaria che si è già guadagnata un posto nel firmamento delle stelle della danza con un sicuro avvenire anche internazionale ❤️ Magnifico Vladimir Shklyarov 💙 un ballerino che gode di grandissimo apprezzamento in tutto il mondo e che non finisce mai di stupire perché riesce ad essere regale e straordinario catalizzatore dell’attenzione e, nello stesso tempo, umile nel mettersi al servizio del personaggio interpretato; una sua peculiarità è proprio quella di far apparire come elementare e semplice anche il momento interpretativo più arduo e i movimenti coreografici più complessi, qualità queste proprie dei più grandi ballerini della storia di questa straordinaria arte che è fatta di rigore, cuore e mente! Fantastica performance da tenere in memoria e da rivedere di tanto in tanto soprattutto quando si ha il desiderio di una cosa bella 🎁

[@user-sb1ot3xo2h]

Браво браво браво Мария и ваш замечательный партнёр Владимир Школяров

[@carjhb]

Love all the comments, just have to say Ms Khoreva’s tutu fits to perfecting! Not a wrinkle in sight on that bodice! Absolutely exquisite costumery!

[@mbg484]

yes, though I do have issues with the bright white panty, which is a pet peeve of mine, as they always look like baby’s diaper covers or granny panties. As well, nothing else is white but perhaps the straps. Even her tights are pale purple. So surely a pale to mid-orchid panty to tone with the rest of the tutu would have been softer and have broken up the flow of her costume less? That tutu is too pretty and beautifully fitted--it deserves better!

[@jekaterinag2706]

Красавчики!!! Шклярова давно нежно люблю. 💞

[@MarciaLealChannel]

Bravo, Maria Khoreva e Vladimir Shklyarov!

[@celester.812]

That variation was insane! Wow !

[@MrQbenDanny]

BRAVO!!! BRAVISSIMO!!!! VIVA LA KHOREVA!!!! "GORGEOUS all around with seamless placement and impeccable taste. Those FEET are as beautiful as the pyramids in Giza. The variation in particular is stunning MARIA, but spoil me with a 3, TRIPLE pirouette (It's there, don't fight it!) And faster piques. The diagonal coda is PERFECT with electric brio tempo rhythm delicious soutenus en tournant, BRAVA!!!

[@brendadufaur37]

Vladimir is incredible. The most beautiful, regal, manly, and powerful dancer! Wow. He's wonderful! And Maria is so lovely, always. I love how the camera focused on her feet for a moment. Those feet (and legs) are indeed something to behold! Exquisite. Vladimir has such beautiful artistry. I think they would be a wonderful Romeo and Juliet.

[@felixsilvestri9428]

He is wonderful with Diana Vishneva in Romeo and Juliet

[@lannahey6873]

[@user-lp2sq4uk9w]

[@user-es8vn2zj2n]

Браво!!! Вы прекрасны!

[@gianniangelucci8641]

Bravissima la giovanissima Maria Khoreva ❤️ … Meraviglioso Vladimir Shklyarov 💙che fa apparire semplice anche il gesto o il movimento più impegnativo, pregio dei più grandi in ogni arte, aborrendo pertanto quegli eccessi o personalizzazioni così spesso ammirate da non addetti ai lavori (il balletto classico non e’ una prova di forza, soprattutto se la partitura non la prevede!)

[@christawietholter3247]

Enorm, diese getanzte Leichtigkeit!!

[@blackart3533]

glad you guys started to upload again! send love

[@marujaaparicio1009]

Vladimir es lo máximo !!!

[@tonio7367]

His interpretation was right on point! She is very pretty!

[@mariadasilva863]

Bravo to the male dancer he is a good dancer as well

[@user-eh4of7tb6s]

Wow!!

[@jacquelinesotgiu4662]

Merveilleux Un enchantement

[@gianniangelucci8641]

Bravissima la giovane Maria Khoreva ❤️ … Meraviglioso Vladimir Shklyarov regale e umile nello stesso tempo, uno dei rari ballerini in cui la capacità tecnica più autentica viene tenuta per le briglie (virtu’ propria dei grandi) e non lasciata andare agli eccessi volti al solo scopo di creare il fenomeno e l’applauso, ma che nulla hanno a che fare con la vera arte della danza fatta di rispetto della partitura e di rigore! Un gala che è una gemma imperdibile 🎉

[@LG4421]

Es maravillosa!!! Y tan joven!!!!

[@euridicesacramentomariani6953]

Wonderful! I love this ballet nas your performance, too!

[@Jajadore]

Incredible, both of you!

[@user-eh4of7tb6s]

Мы были на этом гала концерте!!) Сбылась мечта, я увидела вас на сцене, а не в записи)))

[@ahones2255]

Maravillosa María. ¡Bravo!

[@pedrogarciarias129]

Khoreva, you are as a sweet poem dancing, dance for ever, please. If I couldn´t listen the music, I will only need to see you dancing to feel that beautiful sounds.Thanks a lot.

[@user-lp2sq4uk9w]

Хорошее освещение сцены. Ровное. Про танец -= лучше вообще молчать и смотреть))) А ещё лучше - снимать на видео. Вот везёт же видеооператору, снимавшему этот балет. Видеооператор видит гораздо больше. чем зрители. А когда пересматривает своё видео - это вообще сказка))!!! - захотел приблизить сцену - и вот она уже "чудесным" образом приближается, читая мысли)))

[@360worldvision9]

Beautiful ballet colour performance!

[@antonioretuya912]

Maria you are so perfect! Like other ballerina's. And i watch also you're video cause I'm also a ballerina..and I watch your cardio and more..if someone wants to become a ballerina you should really watch Maria's video!😀💜

[@champigranja1179]

[@stevie8763]

I have my wallet out already for the whole ballet. Is this currently under consideration and can we request what order we would like them released ?

[@user-lp2sq4uk9w]

Ух ты!)) Владимир Шкляров ЗАВИСАЕТ В ВОЗДУХЕ! Это левитация, не иначе!)))kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2K6i2mfo9WGa6M

[@atr46]

Да, Владимир Школяров великолепен. Отточенность поз, рук, ног, фантастические прыжки. Прекрасен в романтическом репертуаре. Сейчас помогает Маше в"Большом балете".

[@emmayunes5745]

Why is he dancing so out of music??? Vladimir is amazing, but sometimes his energy overwhelms him

[@curriepederson2141]

is it him or the conductor?????????????

[@ISTEasnoneother]

Orchestra is almost deliberately S L O W during his coda, must frustrate him to no end…

[@armidalicorne]

I do prefer Viktoria Tereshkina.

[@darai62]

She’s older. Give Maria time

[@williamdeng1870]

Beautiful!
