Volkmar Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Some days ago I saw Laurent Hilaire as Solar in the Bajadere-DVD, which fascinated me very much. So I would like to know more about Mr. Hilaire. Maybe, someone can help me? With a lot of greetings from Austria, Volkmar Link to comment

Maybe, someone can help me?With a lot of greetings from Austria, Volkmar <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Volkmar, Hilaire makes many comments on Bayadere and how he approached it on the "companion piece" to the POB Bayadere DVD, the one called "Dancer's Dream - Bayadere". I've seen two of these POB production documentaries, this one and the one for Raymonda. I've found them fascinating explanations of the details that went into putting the productions together. I haven't seen the Sleeping Beauty one yet, but I'm looking forward to that one Richard Link to comment
Brioche Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I have all of the "making of" Nureyev full lengths at POB and I really enjoy them. Raymonda is my favorite - and Hilaire is featured on it as well AND it's really the only one in the series that has a lot of Nureyev footage - in rehearsals, interviews, etc. I just aqquired the POB Nutcracker. Wow, an interesting version by Nureyev, I don't love it, but to see a young Hilaire and Elizabeth Maurin dancing up a storm is quite something. To say the least - THEY ARE AMAZING IN IT!

Estelle Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Volkmar, there is a page about Laurent Hilaire on my (terribly outdated, unfortunately) web site at: http://www.cmi.univ-mrs.fr/~esouche/dance/Hilaire.html He's been a principal dancer with the Paris Opera Ballet since 1985. Nowadays he unfortunately is less and less active as a dancer, but is more involved in staging some works and coaching younger dancers. Link to comment

Alexandra Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 No, it's not on line I had been uploading articles a year after publication date, but have stopped even that because several people sweetly took the time to write that they wouldn't renew because "everything is available on line." (And they have a point!) Link to comment
Volkmar Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 Thank you for all comments and informations! If possible, I'll try to reach the Dance View article on Laurent Hilaire. With all greetings from Austria!!! Link to comment
