You are witnessing the “Top Ballet Jewels” that ever touch the stage on pointed 👟 shoes! George Balanchine is an expert on originating sensational ballets!
Refreshing and relaxing to watch, like corals and seaweed, waving gently in the green underwater light! I like the way the emphasis is on grace and expressiveness, rather than acrobatics. There is a richness and graciousness about the rounded, organic movements, that is in keeping with the luxurious quality of the precious jewels. The men’s costumes are nice, with those be-jewelled peplums demurely covering the tush!
Beautiful - so romantic and poetic! Also those costumes are the most beautiful in the whole of classical ballet in my opinion. I just love the colour and sparkliness - also the romantic midi length tulle skirts. 💚💚🧚♀️💚💚
I can't tell in the principle emerald is dancing on nearly dead shoes or if her arches are just terrible. I love the emerald choreography so much though. Lovely.
I was wondering the same thing. I was a huge fan of Zhanna Ayupova’s during the early 90s, hers was the generation after Altynai Asylmuratova. The timing of her Violette Verdy solo is atrocious, distorting the background, and flattening everything she does.
Não me venham com desculpas e xurumelas: interrupções para propaganda são sempre uma merda.Já fiz outros comentários em outros vídeos. Em suma: baixa cultura zurrando. Quanto ao que importa mesmo, Jewels, ele restitui plenamente a alta cultura. Um belíssima apresentação: filmagem, cenário, coreografia, vestuário, corpo de dança e as estrelas. Congratulations!
Just saw Jewels in NYC with three different companies, including the Bolshoi, NYCB and Paris Opera Ballet. The Bolshoi dancers are superior in every way -- technically, artistically, athletically, etc. -- there absolutely is no comparison. Another level of art completely. The Paris Ballet was quite good and subtle. The NYCB at least kept some of Stravinsky's great wit and irony alive but were not impressive in any other way. The Bolshoi was sent by the gods and, of course, New York City critics don't get them. American critics know nothing of art and passion, preferring "new interpretations" to perfection... Critics/hipsters/the L.C.D. principle of people mired in pop culture...
I undestand your point, the bolshoi definitelly strive for perfection and that's something that can really be admired, but I don't think there's anything wrong with new interpretations being the preference in american ballet companies. I personally enjoy both kinds of aproaches to ballet for what they are, and don't think one is objectively better, it really depends on your personal preference in my opinion.
I am delighted to note here that this scenario, based on music from Faure's Pelleas et Melisande and Shylock, is presented as Balanchine originally presented it, ending with the Final from Shylock which in my opinion gloriously sums the whole thins up. He spoiled this later on by adding on the movement Mort de Melisande, which has changed the perspective of it, at least for me, not in a favorable way, in my own opinion. Whatever is prowess was in creating some amazing choreographic presentations, his reputation as a musician unfortunately was not fully deserved, as his sense of all-important musical structure and continuity was not strong - one blatant example of this I have always pointed out is that using Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings. But as I just said, I am totally delighted that the Mariinsky Company has used here the original unspoiled version of it. I know many will disagree, and if so, I will always welcome a calm, intelligent debate on these issues.
I Wonder why female danceurs are so more at front of world's Ballet at this moment....regardless of the good job of males danceurs ...we dont see male stars like womans of today's comphanies...
I wish my life was as stable as the female Emeralds' headpieces
lol
What a grace of perfection💐
Barbara Karinska's costumes are gorgeous! Such an amazing designer.
O
Karinskas costumes forever!

I'm sure everyone here could do much better.
according to others the emerald choreography requires really soft used shoes, but you never know it might also be the dancer
Lovely

as someone in America that's pretty true
Oh my god, what is with those that admire the Bolshoi so much. "Far superior" Do you have to be such a snob about it?

@@harleyquinn9682 Erm because it's one of the best ballet companies in the world. I'll always admire Russian ballerinas - so artistic and evocative.

Lindooo amo balett

Alguém me diz como faço para assistir o ballet completo?

Ale Maya "the best pointe shoes" do not exist, it's different for everyone :) gaynors might be the best for somebody and the worst for someone else
Giulia Martini oh I see! so I have to try different brands til I find the one that suits my feet right? thank you btw
Yes that's it! If you go to a good shop, they will help you to find the right ones for sure! But sometimes it's a bit difficult... haha
No...

Who are the three dancers in the pas de trois?
Yana Selina, Ksenia Ostreikovskaya and Anton Korsakov
Buravo from Tokyo
Who’s the males soloist in the pas de trois with the fabulous bottom?
Aves Raggiana Anton Korsakov
Fauré
It looks nice to watch visually. I wish the music was a little more light hearted. A bit too serious.
It's because Emeralds is supposed to evoke the romantic era of ballet so it has to be floaty and poetic.
i think it fits the aura
I Wonder why female danceurs are so more at front of world's Ballet at this moment....regardless of the good job of males danceurs ...we dont see male stars like womans of today's comphanies...
Ballet. Not Ballett for goodness sake.
Why are their shoes so dirty....
Because it's art! 😘
Because they are a bit worn-out. "Emeralds" requires softer shoes.
It might be because they burn them
Er, no, they don't.
This dance (from my experience) requires softer, more used, shoes. Also they practice quite a bit for this particular dance.
