Raymonda

R.I.P. Sergei. Thanks for the upload,simply wonderful.

they seem to be really in love as partners...simply fabulous

i mean....kolpakova and berezhnoi....as good as semenyaka and mukhmedov are in the bolshoi production...they are clearly dancers dancing....whereas kolpakova/berezhnoi ARE raymonda/jean!

Thank you for posting this. I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of filming.

Two of the most charismatic soloists whose performances will not date.

beautiful

What a sad, sad production! This has nothing to do with the original story that was first produced at this same theatre. Where is the White Lady!!!! They have bowlderdized everything. Thank God for the La Scala revival which gives the original scenario as intended. Also the sets are the worst thing I've seen from this great theatre. This all makes the dancing, however fabulous, almost not worth it.

if only their clothes weren't so awful...

This is not a ghastly production!!!! I was in it just last week here in DC!!! Strangely enough after having had the honor of dancing in ABT's Sleeping Beauty the last week of January. Ms. Kolpakova as you all probably know is a ballet mistress with ABT. Obviously saw her that week coaching. So was wonderful to come across this to prepare for my Saracen guard role! She autographed my copy of her 1983 Sleeping Beauty video!!! The costumes for the ballerinas in Raymonda are now stunning!!!! BTW, the women now wear tutus in the first waltz of Act I. They have updated the men's to a degree as well. Ekaterina Kondaurova was just stunning as Raymonda and little did I know until she was autographing a 2002 photo of us together from Chemiakin's Nutcracker, that she is married to Islom Baimuradov who was Ali (2nd in command to Abderakhman) and our boss on stage. BTW, the White Lady was not needed for the production!!!! Not to argue, but it's like not having Dulcinea in Don Quixote as the ballet is more so about Kitri and Basil(io). My one snide comment is that La Scala's sucked!!!!! My apologies millriv!!!!

Had the opportunity to see Mr. Berezhnoi (sp) in the studio (Kennedy Center) coaching one of the princes for Sleeping Beauty back in 2010. His widow, Tatiana Tehrekova is my 2nd favorite Gamzatti (Elisabeth Platel is #1...sorry Nureyev haters) from La Bayadere. :-)

A stunning live performance of this classic ballet performed by the Kirov Ballet on the very stage where the company had premiered the work in 1898. This 1980 production stars Irina Kolpakova in the title role, with Sergei Berezhnoi as Jean de Brien and Gennady Selutsky as Aderakhman. Choreography by Marius Petipa; Production revised by Konstantin Sergeyev. Orchestra of the Kirov Theatre; Viktor Shirokov, conductor

the best Raymonda's ever: Maya Plisétskaya and Lyudmila Semenyaka !!!!!!🌞🌼🌞🌼🌞🌼🌞🎵

_ Прекрасно!Колпакова шикарная.Хочу посмотреть и другие постановки для сравнения и впечатления.

Best Raymonda at any age! One and only one!!! Irina Kolpakova!!! Complete understanding on what she is dancing about, best style and stage control!!

The music in Raymonda. Is just totally mesmorizing and captivating. Divine

Did. Galena Mezentsova ever dance the lead in Raymonda??? With her tall, long eloquence ...I bet she was the ideal .....

Ottima la regia di ambientazione ed ideativa del coordinamento del collettivo danzante che reifica in toto la dolcezza e l'armonia della danza. Ottima la fibrillazione dei passi sulle punte in eundo veloce della ballerina ed il convolo aereo ed elanista della ballerina ottimamente indotto e tenuto dal partner. Ottima la riconduzione dei.passi all'euritmia melodica come se avesse immiata la melodia. Eccellenti le pose figurali assunte nell'ensemble. OTTIMA impressione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito da parte di entrambi e di levità fluente fatta tensione elanista e motile sorprendente in questa ballerina.Ottima l'attorialita nella narratio danzante.Superlativi tutti gli agenti in proscenio.

Maravilhso !

Колпакова - звезда. Легка, мила, красива, точна.

チャイコフスキーと比較すると音楽は１段階弱い
しかし全幕バレエとして名品
私はライモンダを劇場で観てない
日本のバレエプロデューサーは赤字が怖くて上演しない
いまだに改定の傑作が無い
意欲ある若い振付師は改定版を作って欲しい

ヌレエフみたいな現代の振付師が改定してほしい
