Hans Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Does anyone know where I can find a copy of Grigorovich's Walpurgisnacht? (At least I think he choreographed it...anyway, not the Balanchine one.) Link to comment
rg Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 on p. 585 of the videography in my book, BALLET 101, i've got 2 commerciallyavailable tapes listed of the Walpurgis Night i assume you're looking for. the choreography is Leonid Lavrovsky's and was a staple over the years in the repertory of the Bolshoi Ballet. one performance, from 1956 is on THE BOLSHO BALLET, a tape with a number of bolshoi ballets, including ulanova's GISELLE. this perf. is led by raissa struchkova and alexander lapauri. another, called FAUST: WALPURGIS NIGHT can be found on RUSSIAN BALLET: THE GLORIOUS TRADITION, VOL. 2, it's led by ekaterina maximova and stanislav vlasov, it was filmed in 1978 and released on video in 1992. hope this helps.

Hans Posted October 29, 2002 Author Share Posted October 29, 2002 Yes, that's it! I couldn't remember whether it was Grigorovich or Lavrovsky. Thank you! Link to comment
