Does anyone know if the dvd will be released in our system??? (ntsc I mean)

Onegin or Romeo

Is the music for this ballet good? I have never heard it...

Is that from Sleeping Beauty?

it is ballet though, right? (meaning the women are en pointe???) i really am interested to see this!

What is this ballet?

Just note that for Vaganova Academy it states "alumni," which they seem to be dancing in Kirov Ballet now... But still should be a great program!

IMO - Sleeping Beauty with Dutch National :-)

Where can I find a copy of "Rhapsody" with the K Ballet?

1. POB - La Sylphide (though this may have been released in '04?) 2. Bolshoi - La Fille du Pharon 3. La Scala - Swan Lake (w/ Zhakarova) WHERE CAN I GET THE POB FULL LENGTH DVDS of SLEEPING BEAUTY, RAYMONDA and SWAN LAKE???? Someone PLEASE tell me!

I am curious too...any thoughts or opinions are much appreciated before I order it!

Great! Thanks to both of you!

Ah ok, I was confused because of the same character name "Aurora" in each ballet. Or was I reading it wrong??? Thanks Mel for your knowledge!

wow, so same plot and everything - just a different composer???

I am reading "Era of the Russian Ballet 1770-1965" written by Natalia Roslavleva; in it there is some mentioning of a ballet called "The Awakening of Flora." But then right after it would say "...The Sleeping Beauty." The thing that confused me was that it mentions a ballerina dancing the role of Aurora in "The Awakening of Flora," but then right after says something to the extent of the same ballerina dancing Aurora in "The Sleeping Beauty." Anyone know what the deal is here?

there is a recording of it available on the "bolshoi" six cd set series. this is on the cd that contains various pas de deuxs and suites... i am not sure though if these are out of print???

thanks rg!!!

Is Egyptian Nights the same ballet as "Pharaoh's Daughter?"

Wow! That is really funny you just asked that, because I was just thinking about her! I have no clue - anyone? I know she was back in Spain for a while after Boston, but I wonder what she is up to these days?!?!

Very very sad news... My best to his family and friends. He was dancing in Boston when I was there as a student at the BBSchool. I am fortunate to have been in his presence during Don Q and Sleeping Beauty back in 1993. He is a definite inspiration for any aspiring male dancer.

Very sad news They have a lot of talented dancers. I wish all the dancers there the best in seeking new employment with a stable balet company or elsewhere.

Ok, cool - so how would I find this copy??? Do you think it is still available???

Thanks Mel- This friend also did say there is a video that has a version constructed as mentioned above...Do you know anything about this, or where I could find it? I have never heard of one, but always looking for new footage!

I friend of mine said that the original production of Giselle has the wilis in Act II set in a ballroom, all wearing different costumes? Is this true?

Yes, Paris Opera Ballet School's Coppelia would be good and it is not too long... Balanchine's Nutcracker would be good too, (with McCauler Culkin) it is narrated. Any Sleeping Beauty's or Cinderella's???
