    The irony of the symbolism of "chaste" regarding subtle bodily visibility. So much emphasis given on that its fascinating.

    Hello,
    We've asked Yasmine, and on that evening she was wearing Freed Studio Professional shoes. You can find a video on our channel from the Freed factory - search for "How Ballet Pointe Shoes are Made"

    haha you are right - but I think these ballets were originally danced at a much faster tempo which would in my mind given a much much lighter dainty feel

    The Romantic ballet started with the 'Ballet of the Nuns' in Act 3 of Meyerbeer's opera 'Robert le Diable', not 'La Sylphide.'
    Taglioni danced the part of the Abbess Héléna to her father Filippo Taglioni's choreography in this, the first Romantic white ballet, from which 'La Sylphide', Myrthe, and the WIlis directly originate.This choreography was written down in 1841 by Bournonville in Paris. Astonishingly, no one as yet has produced it, as far as I know! It's very odd that Hageli omits these facts.
    By the way, there's strong evidence that at least some of the choreography in 'La Sylphide' comes right out of 'Robert le Diable'. And why shouldn't it, coming 12 weeks after 'Robert'? The Sylph's 2nd variation in the 2nd act (of the Bourneville 'Sylphide') is almost certainly a version of Héléna's "Séduction du jeu" variation in the ballet of the nuns.
    'Robert le Diable' is the spring that feeds the lovely brook of 'La Sylphide.'
    (note: The 2012 RO 'Robert' was ugly, misguided. The ballet had nothing to do with the Taglionis or the actual artwork which once defined Romanticism in 19th-century Europe.)

    I nearly cried when Ursula told her to not have her legs too high ! no one will ever understand how much I loathe and detest vulgar displays of extension in romantic ballets Giselle and Sylphide - I would give anything to see a production of either of these two ballets where not only the original choreography was used but also Period Pointe Shoes exactly like what Taglioni or Grissi would have worn !! I think it would eliminate any clomping from the modern pointe shoe block !!

    • @funeralgiggle3771
      @funeralgiggle3771 7 років тому +26

      I reckon you won't. But, what exactly do you mean by "vulgar displays of extension in romantic ballets"? Ballet in essence is about extensions, the longer the better in arms, legs, and torso. I can't think of any classical ballet performance, romantic or not, that doesn't involve extensions.

    • @juliannagk9079
      @juliannagk9079 6 років тому +19

      But to do that, the modern ballerinas would most likely hurt themselves as they are not accustomed to the shoes of those times.

    • @alinaj1707
      @alinaj1707 6 років тому +10

      Funeral Giggle Galina Ulanova once said that in Giselle, in her time, the legs weren't allowed to go past 90 degrees. It's too flashy to have your foot on your head in such a classical performance.

    • @gracethome6959
      @gracethome6959 5 років тому +8

      Funeral Giggle extension as in being able to hold your leg very high. it's sort of a combo of strength and flexibility that's become the standard these days, but back then, an arabesque would be much lower (though still stretched out to give those graceful lines one would expect from ballet)

    • @noblesetsentimentales
      @noblesetsentimentales 2 роки тому +2

      @@funeralgiggle3771 Extremely high extensions that result in poor placement, distort the line and rigidify the torso, doing away with épaulement, have no place in classical ballet and are not what the art form "is about".
