Ohhh yessss!!! Used to watch this MAGICAL production all the time in my childhood. Viviana remains the One and Only Sleeping Beauty for me. She embodies her role as the king & queen’s young daughter. Exquisite dancing.
She is very much the same size as Alina Cojacarau and this gives them both an advantage in the way you say (young daughter). Both certainly wonderful dancers.
Just came across this, and wish I could watch the whole ballet. She has the most amazing control in the attitude balances, and the rest of the performance is exquisite!
She's utterly brilliant and had this part down to the tee. Being exactly the right body type for this sort of thing also must have helped. PS love the old production design btw, couldn't be done today and more's the pity.
Simply the best Rose Adagio performance of all time in McDowell's Nureyev choreographed Sleeping Beauty (1994) Absolutely stunning. The most difficult piece in all ballet to perform.
God bless UA-cam. I'd never seen Durante before and she just blew me away. 2:47 when she looks at the last prince and is like "I don't need your help. I can balance in attitude all by myself!". Ballet is the most sublime when the most difficult choreography seems like the most natural thing in the world and Durante achieves this in spades.
@@jillwhite6875 yes she was. I still remember her in Manon with him and I have them both on DVD in Mayerling. Viviana and Irek both taught my daughter at the RBS summer school several years ago. I was just as excited (if not more) than she was !!😂🤩
Tinha o DVD e assistia direto mas infelizmente acabei pendendo 😢 Amo tudo dessa versão, os cenários, figurinos... queria que mais pessoas conhecessem tbm ❤
@@icarrus4u It’s the pas de deux I love, but it’s quite long, and wonder if posting it were to put you at risk of violating the copy write. I’m sorry I’m so poorly informed as to what might be a very obvious problem for you.
Miraculous attitude! ! Viviana is my favorite dancer! !
Her in Mayerling and Winter Dreams are gold standard as well.

Yes, the best production and the best Aurora.
well said

What a perfection! Delicious. Tiny is not a problem, in the Perrault's tale she is 15 years old. So graceful! A Pearl.
This is my absolute favorite version with my absolute fav Aurora. Perfection!
Indeed the best. She had star quality.
i agree!💖💖💖

Perché no?
Durante kicked butt in this performance!

This production had nothing to do with Nureyev.....thank God.
She is perfection.
The best Aurora, she is wonderful and her smiles are so beatiful ❤️ ,thank you so much for posting this, dear Bundu 💕 ballerina.

Do you happen to have access to Act II of this particular (glorious) performance?

@@jocelynhamilton7624 the dream scene pas? Or the grand pas de deux in Act III?
@@icarrus4u The dream scene pas.
@@jocelynhamilton7624 I'll post it! Just for you...
The superlative Rose Adagio on film for me.
Is that Christopher Saunders as the king?
