they're a real life couple I understand? Ballet is just a magical, magical thing. These dancers are just INCREDIBLE !!

[@brennapetersen8522]

Hurts my heart to see all these beautiful dancers are in a crisis. Never should people be stopped from creating art because of money. Wish I had a passion like this.

[@bruceyoung2913]

Watching this, even though the tears flowed, the sensitive and compelling performances revived my spirits after these past difficult months, and the impact on humanity caused by the loss of life and grief caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.

I have waited years for this combination. My most treasured Lieder and my most adored choreographer. Their bodies moving like the waves awaiting to unite the 'happy ones' Utter bliss. Thank you, a million times over.

Fantastic i never saw something like that in ballet, both dancers are amazing and the music belíssimo!

[@kathieloueldridge2974]

One of the most exciting ballet pairs ever. They just hold me mesmerized.

[@jorgejure7673]

Corrales’ expressiveness is unique, poignant and so welcomed in a time of acrobats and icy or edulcorated male dancers ! His partenaire is obviously getting this feeling ! Super dancing of a restricted choreography.

[@1966thejester]

All I can say is wow. How can watching dance, bring so much emotion. These too belong together.

watching francessca dance makes me wish i never gave up ballet dancing

[@purplestringsmariamichelac3391]

go back to it, if you can! I just went back to playing the harp after nearly 10 years. Just doing it in my room on a very small harp, but still it gives me so much joy. And I am with you on this: I don't know anything about ballet, but watching these two dancers makes me want to joyin them!

[@brennapetersen8522]

@@purplestringsmariamichelac3391 Aww congrats to you! I was a gymnast for 13 years and I wish I could go back.

[@purplestringsmariamichelac3391]

@@brennapetersen8522 thank you!!! :-D yes, with gymnastic it's different, I guess, it's so "acrobatic" (forgive my inadequate language) and fisically demanding that you can do it fully only when you're very young and 100% healthy, please correct me if I am wrong. While even with ballet I have heard there are lessons for adults who previously quit or even adults-beginners.

[@brianna094]

@@purplestringsmariamichelac3391 I believe we can learn at any age. I'm 27 and I have a passion for dancing but I haven't been trained professionally and it's something I feel I'm meant to do with a deep passion. I work as a caregiver for a woman with dementia and she is unable to do anything and can barely walk. I realize one day I will no longer have the ability to move as I do now, and I want to fulfill that potential. Take care and I hope you revisit your passion for gymnastics.

@@brianna094 oh, no, it's not me, it's the other lady (Brenna), who did gymnastics. I am the one who went back to playing the harp after nearly 10 years. 27 sounds like a great age to start ballet, you're young and strong! And it's a very good imput the one you're getting from your job. We're so lucky and we don't realise it!

[@sitcomchristian6886]

That leap at 2:33 was stunning.

[@johnwilson4967]

Thanks to You Tube Music, I received a recommendation for this. Morgen is one of my highly loved Strauss songs. But without the rec I wouldn't have known about this dance setting. And unlikely to come across it as I don't follow new choreography at all. Quite stunned because this was beautiful.

[@noemiswan8849]

The very first movements immediately reminded me of the most gorgeous and beautiful french musical I have ever seen : Dracula, l'amour plus fort que la mort (love stronger than death)!!!!!!

[@tanalynnevans2226]

Thank you all concerned in a beautiful unforgettable experience

[@ellavoslinsky_flute]

The piece is beautiful and Francesca and Cesar are amazing!!! I'm so happy that this was posted separately from the stream! Thank you!

[@Zenocrat]

How do I watch the entire stream? I couldn't find it on the videos posted on the Royal Opera House's KZbin page?

[@alanmunch5779]

Zenocrat Hi. It is on the ROH KZbin channel, called ‘Live from Covent Garden featuring the Royal Opera and Royal Ballet’, published 13 June I think... available for 14 days, so watch soon!

[@tatiana8077]

Beautiful combination of movements and music ,The Royal Ballet ,can dance any stile ,Thank you !

[@radiantonion8615]

Cesar's character - beast like?, Francesca - like his "person" or "human" ? anyway very interesting set up. Wayne always chooses a very intriguing perspective. And tomorrow the sun will shine again And on the way which I shall follow She will again unite us lucky ones As all around us the earth breathes in the sun Slowly, silently, we will climb down To the wide beach and the blue waves In silence, we will look in each other's eyes And the mute stillness of happiness will sink upon us

Exquisite, but a real shame you missed out the recited poem at the beginning which was surely part of the piece?

[@allisonw439]

Bravo

[@donmacqueen]

Beyond beautiful. Please identify the musicians as well. (singer sounded to me like Louise Alder, and given the context I'd guess Antonio Pappano for the pianist, but no clue on the violinist)

[@alanmunch5779]

Don MacQueen Hi. There is a cast list on the ROH website. Indeed: soprano Louise Adler, piano: Maestro Pappano, and violin: Vasko Vassilev. (It’s under What’s On, Live from Covent Garden - 13 June, Find out more)

ROH has now added this info into the description, and included it in later videos, so it’s good you made this suggestion!

[@James-lw3gi]

I’m not a dancer so I can’t fully appreciate what they’re doing I guess. I see all the comments and take another look at the video to see what I’m missing. I just find the guy super annoying. Guess this just isn’t my thing.

[@brennapetersen8522]

everyone feels differently! No big deal. I am not a dancer either, I am a gymnast, but I appreciate this and it captivates me, so I suppose it is just stylish contrasts!

[@nancylewis5976]

[@johnhughes4427]

Superb Strauss with choreography inappropriate to the text. All that action at the end is very poor.

[@sedekiman]

@John Hughes-well, well.

[@elizzy8754]

John Hughes, I think I have to agree with you. And zero points to the person who made Ms Hayward wear that terrible dress...

[@FannyPlusvi]

The girl is amazing but sorry, the guy has very short neck and it doesn't look good in a dancer.
