- Join The Royal Ballet as they rehearse Carlos Acosta's 'Don Quixote'
Find out more at www.roh.org.uk
Don Quixote is one of Marius Petipa's much-loved 19th-century classics - its story is drawn from Miguel de Cervantes's classic novel and set to Ludwig Minkus's score. The ballet has long been acclaimed for its virtuoso dancing, beautiful and technically demanding 'vision scene' and the famously bravura and breath-taking Act III pas de deux.
Carlos Acosta's production was created for The Royal Ballet in 2013, and brings the sunshine of Spain and the exuberance of the entire Company to the stage. Acosta created new choreography for the gypsy scene in Act II, and uniquely for this production of Don Quixote added on-stage musicians. Warmth, charm and entertainment abound in this energetic and witty ballet, reflected too in the characterful backdrops of Tim Hatley's vibrant designs.
Love the Carlos version of Don Q. He has injected so much energy into it - and humour!
Carlos Acosta with Marianela Nunez, will always be my favorite version of Don Quixote. Their energy is incredible, but the other dancers also do a great job !!!
Marcelino's jumps are absolutely breathtaking. He looks like he's suspended mid-air. Gravity-defying. Wow!
Absolutley love watching Samantha rehearse the ladies, she is fantastic, and she is so kind and generous
1:02:10 OH. MY. GOD.
She's working really hard through the Russian fouettes (I thought you brushed the foot crossing and then lifting into the attitude, not sure if that's fatigue or style) but it makes it doubly amazing when she finishes with that turn. What strength!
Anna Rita IKR!!!
Beast mode!!!!!
I SCREAMED
I know, it's amazing!
Yasmine Naghdi and Marcelino Sambe are incredible!! The fouettes, the jetés... Amazing! And the partnership!! I wish I could watch them live in person.
Thank you for these marvellous UA-cam videos. It is very much appreciated down here in Australia!
They are both spectacular. Marcelino has such stage presence, I find him very charismatic.
As a black women who loves ballet im just gonna say it: it is an honor to see Yasmin and Marcelino, two talented, gorgeous, BROWN-SKINNED dancers together at RBT.
My dream is to see a ballet period but thank God for UA-cam that I can enjoy this during quarantine. 🌸👌🏽
I am ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED WITH CUPID! The variation is my favorite....plus I would love to perform it....ESPECIALLY HERE!!❤️❤️❤️
LOVE Marcelino!!! Principal!!
Yazmin is she's a wonderful dancer, I always see her on the videos for ballet day.
Jackie Chrystholen Toally agree with you, she sort of stands out.
16:14-16:25 BEAUTIFUL WOW
I really love all these dancers...cant tell why, ITS just something there..😊
Claire’s overall character and physical articulation - I hope she never undermines her sheer unique artistry and execution. She has been brave enough to attempt some of THE most virtuosic roles for these live-streams (which I adore) I just want her to know how appreciated she is (she’s a tremendous role model for me & I introduce her to younger dancers- as she’s idyllic in every sense.)
I understand it’s the nature of our being ballet dancers that we feel we must execute perfection every attempt, and I understand her frustration but I hope she (and ROH/RB) both realize and acknowledge the unique and importance of her overall talent. She’s a creature I’m constantly in awe of. God Bless you, Miss Calvert; as you are a force of unmatched talent, beautiful physique and unbelievably strong grace. Much love from South Carolina, USA 🇺🇸 ❤️🇬🇧 your talent has reached my tiny corner of the world & in a prominent, memorable, significant way indeed. All my love, Claire! 💫❤️☺️✨
The music is a love song and it's beautiful when the dancing reflects that romance. Lovely.
I adore watching rehearsals, thanks so much! :)
The pianist!!! 😍
i just love samantha she is so motherly lol
Claires extensions and feet are just beautiful!
Ross Ewen indeed! Goals goals goals! Perfection! ✨💛👏😊
Don Q will forever be my favorite ballet
We see you Anna Rose Sullivan! Gorgeous Dancer!
Super fAN of Yasmine Naghdi!! She's a fresh principal ballerina with the Royal Ballet and I can already see her doing great in many roles to come for her!! The talent is there!
Marcelino Sambe is just so beautiful to watch. But can I also just say, that pianist is cute!!
I would indeed buy a ticket to see that. And I would be so so happy to see that coda in a rehearsal. What a fantastic job Kevin O’Hare is doing.
Dryad variation is SO HARD!
This whole piece is just a huge f u to physics
Especially body physics.
They nailed the shit out of that coda!
I really love Claire, an amazing dancer
What a GREAT duo!!
She is my new HERO
yasmine ❣️
Kevin O' Hare is doing a spectacular work as the Ditector of the Royal Ballet.
Claire is stunning!!!!!
Full of passion and love ❤️
Thank you for your beautiful healing ❤️🩹 energy 🌒🦋💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺🕺
Such a joy to watch! :-)
Amazing dancers!!!
The director physically towers over the two marvelous dancers. So he must be VERY tall. One wonders how he fared as a dancer himself, being so tall.
He just floats omg I love his dancing
Wow fabulous !
I love this ballet so much that for everything just to study and appreciate it, it is so incredible I don't know how to explain !!! I think it's the effect of Royal
I loved Anna as Clara
They are mesmerizing
I love Claire.
Interesting...everyone is credited in the description, from Cervantes to Minkus to Carlos Acosta, to Chloe Miler Smith, to Tim Hatley. Except for the dancers. Hmmm.
Beautiful dancing
At around 3:34 the action in the video starts.
Starts at 4:00
wowowowow!!!!WOW!
The video starts at 3:33
Video doesn't play properly for me. I can hear it, but I can only see the lady introducing. Aggh!

Does anyone know where Yazmin's stunning ombre leo is from?
It's probably from Yumiko.
It’s Barretto dancewear

Yara Sung they’re both Cupid :)
silena197 Thank you!
excellent dancer Marcellino needs to work on partnering skills...
smart arse...its a fucking rehearsal
@@michaelewens6441 Touchy touchy 👀
@@sitcomchristian6886 Not being touchy touchy BUT there are so many arm chair critics on you tube.These two have never done this ballet before and its very demanding. A big ask for Macellino to fill Carlos's shoes but hes lucky to have him tormenting him

Marcelino seems to be a very poor partner he seems only interested in himself and not his partner. Great male dancers are focused on the ballerina they’re partnering with. This young man makes an awful partner. Hopefully he will get over himself and begin to note his partner. I pity anyone who has to be his partner. He may never become a principal dancer.
A huge disappointment in cinema . I'm sorry to say this . After the astonishing Carmen of Acosta, this is unexpected. So boring! And i appreciate the work of Miss Akane Takada, but her Kithry resembles a puppet theater. There is stiffness, there are no beautiful hands and feet of Ossipova or Marianella's irresistible emotion. Disappointment and boring - for the first time in the production of the Royal Theater.
I didn't like Akane in that role either, she's a gorgeous dancer but just wasn't a good fit.
the girl doing the queen of Driads should be told that ballet is supposed to look effortless. That variation is hard. We all know. But although she is very technical and endowed she should try to look "happier" while dancing it.
its a rehearsal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is not moving light either.
This may be an unpopular opinion but I do not think Royal Ballet dancers have the right port de bras for this ballet. They all have great acting for this ballet but their upper-bodies are not luscious and pliable like Bolshoi and Mariinsky-trained ballerinas. The Royal Ballet dancers in this clip are too stiff. Stylistically, they are approaching this role like how Fonteyn approaches Sleeping Beauty. It does not work for Don Quixote. The upper-body needs to be extremely pliable especially the back. I prefer Royal Ballet dancers in classical ballets like Sleeping Beauty, and also Ashton's ballets. But their port de bras is not right for Giselle or Don Quixote.
why is there 4 minutes of nothing to start this?
it was broadcasted live
This is just horrible ! We can see only teeths!!!
gosh I hate that Raine mistress, she has an obsession with "going over", she tells only that always, which is real nonsense
Lol anyone who's ever learned or had to dance queen of the dryads knows how FRICKEN HARD THAT VARIATION IS. Well done claire is going to shine on stage
Also anna makes the perfect cupid omg
And Isabella has a lovely turn!
Marcelino Sambe' is simply gorgeous inside & out...What a talent!!! I really do hope to see him perform live someday...Male dancers don't get enough outside love!!! You know what I mean...
Hey, I'll give him all the love he can handle: inside or out!
even before she did her variation i knew that anna would be cupid☺️ she just has this essence and look
1:02:10 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Katie Grable 100% agreed! ❤️😱❤️
I LOVED😍😍😍
I usually dislike the cupid variation, but this, wow, just wow ❤️😍
Starts at 3:34
Good job Claire! The Queen of the Dryads is not a piece of cake, so well done. I love the cupid variation. Really good job Anna, Perfect variation for your personality. The hard part of that is that the body lines have to be perfect to really show the variation off. Isabella big difference on the second time. Much better.
Anna is so amazing! Her movement is so sharp but she did it so seamless. And I'm in love with her feet😍😍😍
I have been watching these videos for a few years and am so impressed with how all these young dancers have developed. It is a testament to both the teachers and the dancers.
32:02 - I can't believe this gentleman is representing an institution as respected as the Royal Opera House with so much incorrect information....I don't know what sources he drew on, if any, but it seems like he made much of it up.
32:24 - I don't know where he got this nonsense that the march from Minkus's "Roxana" was being played during the 1917 revolution while the Tsar's troops massacred protesters, but its completely untrue. It's only military association is from the Russo-Turkish war of the late 1870s when the march was played during the siege of Pleven. I suppose this bit of trivia wasn't humorous enough so he made up something else.
36:42 - Drigo had nothing to do with the cupid solo, which was originally composed by Alexei Papkov for "Paquita". It was added to "Don Q" in 1902 by Alexander Gorsky for the cupid character.
36:47 - The notion that Drigo never left a score "unmolested" when he conducted is completely untrue, and he certainly never wrote any pieces for "Don Q"....the variation for Kitri in the dream scene is by him, but was originally composed for Petipa's "La Vestale" in 1888. It was added to "Don Q" in 1902 by Mathilde Kschessinska when she chose it for her performance as Kitri.
42:02 - the claim that there is no original score of "Don Quixote" is completely untrue. Minkus's original orchestral score exists in the Mariinsky Theatre's archives.
I really wish that we Americans had a way to watch the ballets in Cinema. I would love to have a way to to see their ballets.
One can tell from the music the love that is surging through the hearts of the two. Listen to the heartbeats that are actually built into the composition.
Thank you so much for sharing this program!
This is such a wonderful treat to see the rehearsals of a ballet.💗
Dancers made of iron! What amazing devotion to the art.
Gorgeous !!
Jasmin is espectacular!!! I love her!!
Acostas "Don Quixote" is realy marvellous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I find it very exciting when a man slows down at the end of a series of pirouettes.
Azores on watch! Thanks for sharing.
i do ballet
Poor Yasmin, while the male dancer is amazing by himself, he seems to have a long way to go before he can be a good partner.
미국갈때데려갔다다녀왔는데^^보니깐....눈높개남성절골랐죠^^
She is too tall for him
I see Sambé shares one big thing in common w/ Ivan Vasiliev...
Great coaching from Kevin O’Hare.
