The Red Poppy Dance of the Russian Sailors Teatro dell'Opera di Roma

im playing yhe music for this its such a great song

[@steveschwartz1415]

The theme is immediately recognizable and it is so Russian. The musical background is magical and there is a playful quality about this scene. They are showing off but they know how to work together as one!

Yeah, it is sorta Soviet propaganda; but it's not like we in the West haven't done the same thing, glorifying us as the "heros". I find this really entertaining. Thanks Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, & Signor Mazzeo.

Look up the significance of the red poppy in Europe, Australia, and the US, as it relates to World War I. It is used as a symbol for remembrance of the war dead. It has a similar significance for the Chinese, and this play/opera has to do with relations between the Chinese and Russians. Again, the poppy is meant to remind us to honor the dead, although from a different time period.

Lovely to watch. Thank you for sharing this.

I was supposed to play a solo version of this song on my clarinet- I really do love this piece. Kudos, Vito. Mazzeo!

[@steveschwartz1415]

I love the music because it is so dramatic!!! I have the music on a CD somewhere and it is not just the Sailors dance. It is the entire opera...

Is the snippet of bass line at the beginning a tribute to Tchaikovsky's RUSSIAN TREPAK? @0:29

Can you kindly advise me from whose opera is this magnificient show. I find it impeccable and flawless. Most kind sentiments from Ankara, Turkey.

[@Biogrrrl]

This ballet is called The Red Poppy

[@luisfedericosala1354]

Was performed the full ballet?

[@mikeonalpha99]

Is this available on DVD? Would love to purchase this somehow

[@ЖивкоТодоров-о3р]

Даже тонкая восточная вязь в музыке ( немца?) Р. Глиэра восхитительна. Не говоря уж о "Яблочке". Классика есть классика. "Красный мак" есть "Красный мак." Ура!

[@MaxGogleMogle]

В этом фрагменте почти полная копия реальной фольклорной песенки и танца моряков военного флота России начала 20 века. Причем тут "восточная вязь" ?

[@geodude012]

For such a fun piece of music, the choreography is utterly lackluster

Was it a professional performance or an amateur dancers group? Ironicaly ment.

[@BobbyJohnsonFL]

This makes me want to seize the means of production.
