This appears to be a full ballet performance. But it is not a professional recording. I found this video on several other sites as-is. All edits belong to the creative, unknown person who originally uploaded the video.
***
(from Wikipedia) Choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan to the music of Franz Liszt. Arranged by John Lanchbery, scenario by Gillian Freeman and designed by Nicholas Georgiadis. The ballet is based on the Mayerling incident, a series of events surrounding the deaths of Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria and his lover, Baroness Mary Vetsera in 1889.

LOOKING FOR POLUNIN BALLET PERFORMANCES? You're invited to visit this page on my channel where I've been organizing all the quality recordings of Sergei Polunin's performances I've found on KZbin. kzbin.infoplaylists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=2 Most of these playlists (nearly 30 so far!) compile near-complete or even full performances of ballets including Giselle performances with seven different ballerinas, Swan Lake with three different ballerinas, the Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, Don Quixote, Spartacus, Mayerling, LaBayadere, Coppelia, and many more!

Polunin's knee was injured during the performance, the blood stain first appears around 16-17 minutes and keeps getting bigger .... despite the pain, he dances perfectly throughout the performance.

[@IndiaInk]

Wow. I didn't notice that before. Thank you for mentioning it. It looks like the injury possibly happened sometime when he knelt at 17:43 (for those reading the comments: the injury is on his right knee.) His tights are fine before that, but shortly after he stands he begins bleeding through his tights. (at 18:07).

[@carmenridiche7231]

I saw this version ,I like it very much 😍😍😍Mr.Polunin came at Cluj and among other , he gave studies for ballerinas .What an honour!!!

[@user-xw5zj6iv1p]

Потрясающий спектакль, это шедевр! чтобы сыграть так языком пластики драму,- непостижимо! Полагаю это неповторимо и благодарна India , что показали этот шедевр... Всё же убеждаюсь, что -Полунин- величайший актёр драмы и его возможности не имеют границ балета. Полагаю подобное он будет творить в " Грозовом перевале, " ... ❤

[@IndiaInk]

Полунин - потрясающий драматический актер, и это придает его балетным выступлениям такую ​​глубину! Хотя я не видел много обзоров, которые были бы сосредоточены именно на его игре, я знаю, что балет «Грозовой перевал» получил прекрасные отзывы, и многие люди говорили, что он стал их любимым балетом. Кажется, что роль Хитклифа раскроет в Полунине многие драматические качества, которые можно увидеть в таком балете, как Майерлинг.

Un grand merci pour ce Mayerling qui est un régal : )) Sincèrement et avec totale reconnaissance

[@mkm8299]

A thousand thanks for this have only seen excerpts and for me Polunin and Oi perform the most erotically charged duets in all ballet history. Appolonian and Dionysian elements are perfectly mixed with the oxymoron stately abandonment in Listz music. Cannot get enough of Polunin he is a superb antidote to this dreadful lockdown. Plus I'm recovering from a compound leg fracture this gorgeous and sensual dancing inspires my healing! I'm a longtime balletomane and Polunin is the ne plus ultra in shouldering passion combined with elegance incomparable💞

[@IndiaInk]

Glad to be able to give you some relief during lock downs and leg fractures! If you haven't already, hopefully you'll enjoy checking my uploads and playlists for plenty more Polunin. list=PLVViYmp7YHMOB3KG45g3zpoj9fGDJ2Sekkzbin.infoplaylists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=4 kzbin.info/aero/PLVViYmp7YHMOB3KG45g3zpoj9fGDJ2Sek

Thanks so much for finding this and sharing it, wonderful to watch these very talented dancers. Although i don't know much about ballet i start loving it more and more especially since i know about Polunin, he is for me the greatest. I never heard about this ballet before so i enjoy even more because it is so new to me.

Very glad to be able to share! A Polunin-fan KZbinr, Pam Simon has made a few videos explaining more about the story of this ballet - I have her videos on this Mayerling playlist if you're interested: kzbin.info/aero/PLVViYmp7YHMPtcbXl1pZMGced9MQEIigC

Thank you for the opportunity on your blog to see true art in the work of Sergei. I read a recording of a balletomaniac that he has been attending his performance Mayerling for five years. He notes each time the novelty and maturity of the performance. It would be interesting to see here a performance of different countries where Sergei danced this ballet.

[@IndiaInk]

I'm glad to be able to share. As far as I know, except for Sergei's performances as a soloist in the Royal Ballet when he played the role of the lead Hungarian Officer, all his performances of Mayerling have been with the Stanislavsky Ballet in Russia. If you haven't seen some of his other performances that are available on KZbin and want to compare them, you can find them on a playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLVViYmp7YHMPtcbXl1pZMGced9MQEIigC

[@sabalight6470]

@@IndiaInk Polunin dances Mayerling a few times in Munich 2017. But he had relatively bad critics : dance critics said, he wasn't passionate enough anymore for the role and seemed bored instead ... Well... maybe this was a bad time for him, a floating time between his real classic carriere and his start in new projects ... a time, when he danced as guest here and there but didn't know really where he actually belongs ?

[@IndiaInk]

@Sabalight Everyone has off days. But not everyone who saw his performances agrees with the critics. One of his 2017 performances is on the Mayerling playlist linked in comments above. You can decide for yourself. 🙂

[@nicolehourcade]

Sergei Polounin was amazing in this fictional story, the reality was more complicated and With divergent political interests. Fortunately Princess Stephanie was married again and became the happy wife of the Hungarian Earl Lonyay and she lived far from Vienna and from her father Leopold the second king of the Belgians..🌚🌪

[@IndiaInk]

Yes, this ballet version of the story is complicated and tragic enough. The reality, oh my... what a mess. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the story for what it is, a fictionalized version of a historical event- and an event you seem to have a special interest in. (Which can sometimes make it harder to enjoy less-than-stringent interpretations of events.) It's also nice to know Princess Stephanie found her way to a much better life after everything she had to go through.

[@nicolereding7234]

Unfortunately the daughter she had with Rudolf was in trouble, after her wedding with Prince Windisch Grave, she divorced and married a german socialist, she became the Red princess without any link with her mother

[@mkm8299]

In my comment below I met smouldering not shouldering although Polunin does a superb job of partnering too.

[@IndiaInk]

Haha. Yes, he's very good at "shouldering"!

[@simonedevlin7710]

This is the grand finale Hapsburg tragedy for Empress Sissin.The ballet really depicts the elegant Austrian/ Hungarian era and devastating tragedy of Crown Prince Rudolf. To make matters worse, Empress Elisabeth meets her assassin at the age of 61 and dies from a hat pin wound to the heart.This historical event and poignant ballet is an accurate depiction of the heartbreak of losing her only son.

[@IndiaInk]

A very tragic story. Knowing the various layers of history behind it adds more depth to the tragedy.

[@simonedevlin7710]

@@emhu2594 This is about the Hapsburg Empire and the multiple tragedies which ensued. Sisi suffered two miscarriages and a heart breaking marriage with Kaiser Franz Josef. She watched her Crown Prince Rudolph die in a suicide truce and spent her latter days travelling about in Europe with a fatal encounter with the Italian Resistance which ended in a fatal wound inflicted by a hat pin. "Trash" is a very inappropriate label for an Empress or a Crown Prince of any dynasty. Your comment is untimely late by one year.Why bother to comment ?

[@IndiaInk]

@Simone Devlin I agree, and appreciate your reply to a comment I hadn’t yet seen. I deleted it because I find callously referring to anyone’s death, regardless who they were or might have done as “trash taking itself out” as disgusting, dehumanizing and hateful. It’s always a tragedy when people make decisions that destroy their own lives and the lives of people around them and never take the opportunity to right their course or use what influence they have to be a force for good in the world.

[@pinellafranich6007]

I am interested in the finis Austria historical period, the Asburg dynasty and find this ballet really fascinating.

[@IndiaInk]

It is a fascinating time period. My father was especially interested in it and related Royal dynasties and situations of the time. I think the ballet captures a lot of the essence of this historical time very well. (As long as you don’t take the ballet to be more than a romanticized interpretation of what some historians have depicted as an even darker situation. 😬😞)

[@pinellafranich6007]

@@IndiaInk As far as you know is there a dvd of this ballet? I keep on watching the Steven MacRae and Sarah Lamb interpretation too but i could only find bits and pieces on yt.

[@IndiaInk]

​@@pinellafranich6007 If you mean a DVD of Sergei performing this ballet as Rudolph, no, there isn't, to my knowledge. There are DVDs of performances of the MacMillan ballet with other leads available, though, depending on where you live. (I can only guarantee USA availability. I'm not sure of the availability in other countries.) There is even a Royal Ballet performance with Sergei Polunin in it as a soloist (he is the lead Hungarian Officer). The one with Sergei in it is the Opus Arte 2009 release of Mayerling with Edward Watson and Mara Galeazzi. It's available on Amazon USA and various other places that sell DVDs, including the ROH site (although they have limited shipping at the moment.) shop.roh.org.uk/collections/recordings?page=7

I don't have time to compare the songs, but if you're interested, a friend sent me the song list from the Royal Opera House's Mayerling score. (This Stanislavsky production is the same as the ROH. Igor Zelensky procured the Royal Ballet's production of Mayerling for the Stanislavsky.) You can check these song titles and see if any of them are what you were looking for: Faust Symphony S108; Héroïde funèbra S102; Waltzes Soirées de Vienne S427; Five Small Piano Pieces S192 (2); Valse mélancolique S210; Festklänge, S101; Morceau en caractère hongroise (?S737); Seven Hungarian Portraits, S205 (1-2, 5, 7); Valse oubliée S215/2; Berceuse, S174; Tasso S96; Etudes d'execution transcendante S139 (3-4, 11-12); Weihnachtsbaum, S186/7; ‘Csárdas obstiné’ S225/2; Mephisto Waltz No.1 S110/2; Fleurs mélodiques des Alpes S156/2; Consolation S172/1; Ich Scheide S319; Mephisto Polka S217; Vallée d'Obermann S156/4; Die Ideale S106; Hungarian Folksong S245/4; Funérailles S173/7
