Recent DVD releases - Bonus Materials?
I was thinking of up-grading my ballet film collection to include some DVD releases.
I am interested in getting the Royal Ballets "La Bayadere". I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any x-tras included in this re-release to DVD? Or any of the recent Kirov Ballet re-releases, like Don Q or Corsaire have any x-tras?
If anyone knows of any DVD releases of any of the classical rep. with any bonus materials would be great!
I really enjoy the documentary about Sylve, especially because it contains clips of her dancing Dewdrop and Swan Lake. But she surprised me -- offstage she doesn't have the kind of graceful femininity I associate with ballerinas. In one scene she wears stonewashed jeans and these rather mannish boots.
As for DVD extras, the Nureyev film of Don Quixote has a mini-documentary about the filming of DQ (in an airplane hanger!).
