vision solo


Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me who choreographed Aurora's solo in the Kirov vision scene? If it's by Lopukov (it does begin with the same phrase -- a grand battement a la seconde tombe that begins his Lilac fairy solo), did Sergeyev take the notation for the solo West with him and was it ever used in the RB version before Ashton's became standard? Or did they use the Gold Fairy variation that Petipa had sustituted in '89?

Petipa appears to have replaced the original variation music for Aurora with the Gold Fairy music prior to the premiere of the ballet. Tchaikovsky made a change in the passage leading up to the variation in order to accommodate the difference of key. Wiley has documented this well in TCHAIKOVSKY'S BALLETS.
