California Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 On this 75th anniversary of VE day, Perm Opera Ballet has posted an interesting one-hour documentary. It includes extensive b&w footage from WWII, interspersed with interviews with elderly people who seem to be speaking about those experiences. No translations from the Russian, alas. I have spoken with Colorado Ballet Russians trained at Perm. They speak fondly of how the Kirov and Vaganova school were evacuated from Leningrad during the War to Perm. Even today they take great pride in their Vaganova traditions. If anybody on here can give us a sense of the Russian interviews, please do.

So many details that vary from the more "traditional" versions we are used to - and also vary from the Ratmansky reconstruction we saw from the Bolshoi. I'm watching Act II and look forward to comparing notes with others later. (My invitation arrived at 1 pm PDT.)

meunier fan Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Was surprised to find this online - The Royal Ballet's 2017 Cinema Broadcast of Jewels ... (Leave it to the Russians) ... Lamb and McRae are fun in Rubies (great too to see Valentino Zucchetti beaming away in the background) ... and James Hay is oh, so elegant in the Emeralds trio. Sadly Soares (now retired) was just not up to the Diamonds' challenges - which was especially frustrating as Muntagirov had been so spectacular in it and he and Nunez work so well together. A definite missed opportunity ... Edited May 9, 2020 by meunier fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be a pain since the good folks at PNB likely have their hands full with all kinds of stay-at-home challenges and my donation wasn't huge, but maybe I'll give it a shot. I really did want to check out this particular Giselle.

Helene Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Heads up for tomorrow -- from fiddleback's post in the Ballet Arizona forum: 6 minutes ago, fiddleback said: Ballet Arizona will stream George Balanchine’s La Sonnambula for 24 hours on Sunday, May 10, beginning at 9AM. Linkhttps://www.youtube.com/user/balletarizona/videos Seems like the Balanchine Trust must be loosening up its grip on videos – especially for (presumably) allowing less-frequently-seen ballets like Sonnambula to be shown… The email announcement didn’t indicate the casting, but included a photo with Jillian Barrell as the Sleepwalker, and Nayon Iovino as the Poet, so it seems they will be the likely cast, in which case the video would be from May, 2018. (Sorry, photo not readily available.) The photo below is of Natalia Magnicaballi from a past performance. This was one of her favorite roles, and one that she requested to be able to dance for her final performance with Ballet Arizona, also in May 2018.

That happens, and I suppose the dancers can be forgiven because Swan Lake is all most dancers know of the Mariisnky Imperial style of the early 1900s. Balanchine wanted to evoke the Mariisnky of his youth with Diamonds, but it's not supposed to specifically reference anything in Petipa ballets, that I know of. It's an homage, and perhaps a reminiscence of a style and atmosphere long gone by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helene Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Besides the iconic pose, Diamonds when danced by Balanchine and Balanchine-influenced companies always reminds me more of Raymonda than Swan Lake. I always think of Raymonda as a creature of the woods, and I think of the Diamonds woman more as a stag than a swan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduardo Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Thank you pherank. I totally understand what you said and I remember having read about the idea of Balanchine about each chapter of Jewels. What I meant is that seeing Nuñez and Soares in this pdd reminded me of Swan Lake. That didn't happen when I saw the same pdd danced by the NYCBallet or the POB (the latter, in video).

I always thought that the Diamonds ballerina features quite regal manners, which I relate to Raymonda. Edited May 9, 2020 by eduardo typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
