Sleeping beauty grand pdd - Myriam Ould-Braham& Mathias Heymann

Paris Opera ballet, choreography by Rudolph Nureyev

[@eb4256]

Exquisite movement quality and musicality. Myriam Braham’s uses her upper back beautifully. The couple’s timing was brilliant. Bravo!

[@walterbenjamin1386]

He's magnificent! He seems so wonderfully elastic. I've never seen him before but I'll never forget him in this brief pdd. She seems like a tiny, delicate, perfect little dancer. She has a reserved delicacy that is lovely but he's breathtaking!

[@christinereynaud5572]

Mathias is an exceptional dancer. Technique, expression, musicality... Here he is in act 2 : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKOwYqeJiZydptE

[@bessonovafan6454]

I completely realize now why this seems unrehearsed. They were cast at the last minute. Despite that, they did very well.

[@user-rg5rg4hk7w]

Mathias Heyman remarquable comme toujours ! Dans les détails …. Il accompagne sa partenaire avec sensibilité et générosité !!!!;magnifique !!!!

[@mayumianderson2078]

It is absolutely beautiful!! I wish I could see the whole ballet with this cast.

[@annickborys2465]

Moi aussi ❤.

[@mygoldenparis2898]

Absolutely beautiful dancers🌸🌸

[@snoopenny]

What a charmless Aurora! Clean technique, that’s all. He’s superb and coped beautifully with Nureyev’s fussy choreography.

[@steveiliev8912]

Yes! And Her left foot technique! Especially under the ankle! It is just fabulously magnificently beautiful! ❤ And her hands are so balanced! One couldn’t tell left one from right one! And yes! Nureyev ruined the whole damn thing! 😤

[@He-is-Center]

She’s lovely and that guy is amazing ❤

[@andrewvincenti2664]

He is magnifique😮

[@LilianaCoutoBallet]

Esta pareja es fantástica. Los ví en Julio en la Opera Garnier en La Fille Mal Gardée y me encantaron!!!

[@tito2678]

UUUFFFF He is incredible!!!

[@tommy9424]

I don't think that she look really cold it's more concentrated i think. The lipstick is a little bit too beerie and dark for her and that makes it more difficult to see her smile. And i really really hate those awful wigs!!!!!! Both dancers do a very good job and are technically absolutely perfect. But it's not only about technic they fit together and there is something magically in the air perfect for a fairy tale. The vision scene is the best one i have ever watched; i am sure you cand find it on youtube it has to be seen!!!!!

[@andrewvincenti2664]

Equisite and brilliant, thank you for posting

[@christophebaudeau9614]

I love this production

[@DCFunBud]

I thought they were charming and impressive. Who knows what went into this production given Nureyev was the choreographer (with no credit to Petipa)?

[@bessonovafan6454]

Poor Mathias, those fish dives must have really hurt the arms. I remember Kathryn Morgan saying that if the girl doesn't dive too, the man has to muscle it all himself and it looks shaky. I think that's what happened here

[@Fairpavel]

It did not look shaky.

[@bessonovafan6454]

@@Fairpavel the first two looked fine, the third one looked a bit stuttery, like one of them was ready before the other, or Myriam overshot her pirouette. It just looked off to me. I may be wrong though.

[@Fairpavel]

@@bessonovafan6454 Yes, the pirouette.

[@Dima.Demidov]

They replaced Ganio and Abbagnato, one of them had been injured the day before. During that period of time, Miriam and Mathias continued to rehearse and were scheduled to perform Aurora and Desire two weeks later. In this particular performance they would have had to dance the pas de deux of Princess Florine and the Blue Bird.

[@jlbreynoso1976]

She looked so tentative through the entire pas. It's a shame as she is so well suited for the role!

[@susannevollmer2347]

Nureevs entire coreo dont fit any couple or the PDD

[@KEMET1971]

All of you making negative comments: I would love for you to suggest a version of this PDD in which the Prince at least is danced better than this.

[@alassante]

Since you asked: - Roberto Bolle and Vishneva: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZaUlKqVZcSeabs - David Hallberg and Svetlana Zakharova: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZmufWyrrZtjgM0 - Aurelie Dupont and Manuel Legris: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKTNnGebZ96taKc - Evgenia Obraztsova and Vladimir Shklyarov: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXzVgpSamc5kfrM Myriam and Mathis weren't well matched for this pdd at ALL.

[@KEMET1971]

@@alassante I've seen the Bolle/Visneva version ... Mathias is better technically. Dupont/Legris ... Dupont is magnificent, Legris not so much in comparison to Mathias, and the symmetry between the two fo them is somewhat lacking. Obraztsova/Shklyraov .. she fine, him ... in comparison to Mathias ...are you joking?

I can't help but think of Aurelie!

[@ataraxy_7521]

agree

[@liobu3097]

All of today’s étoiles dance and resemble Dupont for some reason. Baulac, Albisson, they just dance like Dupont. Maybe because Dupont is the Directress I do not know.

[@NaughtGinger]

This Prince is charming and seems to give it his all-too bad this Aurora holds back and overall she seems to miss out on the beauty of this pas de duex

[@elizabethmojica8995]

Agreed. I dislike everything about her portrayal of Aurora.

[@liobu3097]

@@elizabethmojica8995 She is an epitome of a youthful Aurora. This recording was just not her day. I bet you haven’t watched her tours that are unrecorded. She was magnifique.

She's using the wrong point shoes.

[@adrienscott6913]

Why did it seem like they did not have a ton of rehearsal together? There were a lot of little bobbles here and there and even the fish dives and balances weren’t that secure. There just wasn’t a lot of finesse and charm which is one of the hallmarks of the French style. Arms were sloppy and musicality was just not as clean as it needed to be. Such a shame as I really like POBs Sleeping Beauty.

[@TheFilipinaWifeLife]

I keep comparing this to Dupont and Legris' version. Doesn't measure up

[@skuno]

They werent supossed to be dancing those roles till i think two weeks after this performance, they were dancing blue bird and florine for the first leg of the run but Ganio and Abbagnato got injured like two days before this particular performance and they had to replaced them

[@liobu3097]

Danie's Travel Vlog Heyman is better technically than Legris. And I keep seeing you at MOB’s videos commenting « I can’t help but think of Aurelie » She isn’t trying to be Dupont.

[@adrienscott6913]

It’s funny looking back at this two years later and much of my original critique holds up. I will say I noticed this time how firm her footing is on her own. Not stiff but balanced and placed which is one thing many a dancer can learn from this. When her arms are right, they are perfect but there were parts where they got away from her as in the final part of the variation; just arms and legs whipping about. The coda is a touch too fast and while I was impressed with his allegro, it looked cartoonishly fast and not controlled. These costumes are miles better than La Scala’s which are, in my opinion, garish and ill suited to dance.

[@uzubo5656]

That adagio was awful. They should have danced together much more.

[@KEMET1971]

Please post a link to a version that is better.

[@bessonovafan6454]

[@bessonovafan6454]

KEMET1971 I can agree that this seems underrehearsed. Arms are shaky in promenades, balances are not clean, feet sickled in areas. It’s good, but not clean. Her Rose Adagio was also not great, falling out of turns, coming off pointe more than once, slow in the balances, it needed work.

[@elizabethmojica8995]

@@bessonovafan6454 dude, this person has been slandering every single person who doesn't like this particular version, lmao. they don't take 'no' for an answer.

[@KEMET1971]

@@bessonovafan6454 I've commented on this version before ... Dupont is exquisite while Legris, although fine is far from Heymann technically and at several moments the symmetry between the two, is off.

[@lexiewallace8672]

Both incredible dancers, but... I mean, they kinda dance like they hate each other.

[@liobu3097]

Emmanuel Thibault was a better partner for MOB but Mathias isn’t bad. I just prefer Thibault

[@MG-fb4yj]

I don't get why they made the costumes so Marie Antoinettesque, not that I hate it but i feel like Sleeping Beauty should be kinda more medieval

[@gtrodovine7342]

Yes but it's wrote by Tchaikovski :) The action takes place in 17th century and at the final act in 18th century. It's a little bit different of the Disney version.

[@liobu3097]

The historical accuracy portrayed in Disney films are mostly inaccurate. And no, it is not medieval when Tchaikovsky wrote this.

[@ChemaLopez2200]

Very low and turned-in arabesques and attitudes

@@liobu3097 Hi, I'm replying to your comment on mine here because it's not letting me do so on my original comment. I told you I danced for a very small company, and I'm not willing to give you the name because I don't want a weirdo knowing where I live. I don't care what you think I did or didn't do. Also, anyone with eyes can tell that this performance really sucked, and that's a shame.

Elizabeth Mojica A principal in a very small company. Sure thing. It’s ironic you really prejudice this dancer in the video simply because you’ll never do any good like her. Stay small, Elizabeth. With that negativity in you, how far will you even go?
