Germain Louvet is one of the finest princes I have ever seen. The epitomy of the excellence of French ballet tradition. He is sooo refined and chic. Simply gorgeous. Regarding Baulac she is sweet and cute but in the 90s she would have been only corps de ballet. With all the due respect of course. When she sees the first time the prince she does not show how frightened the swan is....she does not vibrate really, does she! What a pity because she seems to be a very bright girl. Unfortunately the outcome is quite average.

Choreography is credited to Nureyev in the opening credits which are laid in over the overture. Easy to miss as there is an annoying voice over at the same time. Press mute and rewatch from the beginning. Hope this helps.

[@adrienla1666]

I’m reading a lot of negative comments here. First of all, the video and sound quality are not great that’s true. Second, this version is the 1984 one by Nureyev, for the Paris National Opera Ballet. It is well known for being a stripped down, darker, more psychological (look at the transitions between Act I and II, and even more between Act III and IV… Is the Swan Lake even real?) and less fairytale-like interpretation of what you’d see in Russia for instance. Also, the Paris Opera Ballet (the oldest in the world, and the one that originated most ballet terms and techniques) is known to dance in this very restrained, disciplined, delicate, not over the top or overly athletic style. It’s not a lesser way of doing things, it’s just different from what Russia does, especially the Bolchoi which is famous for being particularly theatrical.

[@midturian2500]

first of all, ballet is a theater, it's supposed to be theatrical. Secondly, Nureev was a great ballet dancer, but he was a mediocre choreographer. Thirdly, it was choreographed this way, because of the lack of high level dancers then and now in Paris. They are just not able to perform something more complicated in choreography.

[@adrienla1666]

Yeah… I’m afraid you’re wrong all the way but you’re entitled to your opinion. Side note, theatrical doesn’t mean looking like you’re going to the Olympics like they do in Russia to serve some rancid post-Soviet propaganda. Sorry.

Something's wrong with the audio. Am I the only one having problems? For example, at 1:04:00 where the music seems to fade in and out, and at 2:16:07, where the audio cuts out completely. I know I watched this a few weeks ago with no audio problems. Did something change?

[@BalletPulse]

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience with the audio. Some parts of the music from the ballet performances were claimed due to copyright, and I truly regret that this may affect your experience. I’m committed to doing my best to resolve this issue and, over time, bring everybody higher quality presentations. Once again, I apologize to you and everyone for the situation, and I appreciate your understanding and support.

[@animatorgeek]

​​@@BalletPulse is there any other way for me to watch this with the audio intact? I watched it before the audio was removed and I really liked the production. It's kind of spoiled by losing the audio in places.

[@BalletPulse]

​@@animatorgeek Hello! Once again, my sincerest apologies. I’m working to have a solution soon. If all goes well, it could be ready between the weekend or early next week. As soon as I have it, I’ll respond to your message here if you want, or if you prefer, you can send me an email to the address in my description and I’ll email you once it’s ready. Again, I’m very sorry.

[@charlesyvesfournier]

Which website would have the audacity to force the uploader to mute some the music in order to comply with copyright laws? Which copyright laws are these? Tchaikovsky has been dead for 200 hundred years. No laws apply after such a long period. It's insulting enough to have KZbin insert unwanted and distracting commercials throughout the ballet, that a viewer be subjected to such shoddy practices. Not only is it shameful but in bad taste. Bravo to corporate greed!

Yes it’s not the ultra classical Bourmeister version they perform in St Petersburg but the darker, more visceral and psychological Nureyev version.

Гораздо приятнее смотреть на одну из азиаток, танцевавших танец невест в первой картине. Что с костюмами? Нафига мне вываливающиеся соски Одетты? Вы что?! Не можете нормльно продумать и сшить костюм индивидуально под балерину? Музыка в некоторых местах сыграна как-то по-другому. Понятно что должно быть, но звучит какая-то вариация на оригинал. В целом, странное впечатление. Второй акт смотреть не стал. Побоялся, что свататься к принцу будут мужики. Слишком прогрессивно для меня 8) ЗЫ. Белый балет узнаваем, минимум изменений, спасибо )

It may have originally been danced by two different ballerinas, but I have seen many productions and it’s always been done by the same artist and is part of the magic in being able to take on a role where Odette / Odile have polar opposite characters.

In the tragic ending, only Odette dies, Rothbar disappears, the prince is left alone with his grief and guilt, and completely different music is played, no apotheosis.
