cubanmiamiboy Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I thought this would be interesting for those who, like me, had never seen Lifar in video. Enjoy!

It's the fastest I think I've ever see it, which makes the choreography seem almost perky -- which is an adjective I would never have thought to apply to this ballet! Link to comment

Nanarina Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Thank you so much for this fascinating insight into the world of Ballet History. I like Lifar's choreography very much especially Scene en Blanc. I have the Ballet Russes DVD which is most interesting. Link to comment
