I’m a retired educator, literature and humanities, so I’ve studied this stuff and when I saw Nureyev’s version the first time I was truly amazed at how well researched it was, certainly the most “literate” version I have ever seen. He made use of allusions to period ideas and philosophies that I thought only English majors who studied Shakespeare knew about.
Perhaps you should remember that not only British people can have culture as one of their qualities. ...May i remind you that in France the Sorbonne dates back to the 13th century and was a center of European culture of that time, the same goes for Germany, Italy and of course also Russia with great thinkers, even Kings who protected the arts and literature in particular. So to have culture was not and is not an apanage of Great Britain...
Hey! Sorry to bother you, but if you maybe have some time, could you write out some of these allusions/point them out in the dance? Or explain? I'm studying music composition and would really like to understand the performance better (if someone with average knowledge about Shakespear wouldn't know this/recognize and understand these allusions).
@@jvdesuit1 The translations of the piece are not allways very good, and i didn't know much about the knowledge of Nurejev in literatur either.
But anyway i was surprises et happy to hear,/read Nurejevs work is very close to the piece.
(And sorry for my bad english !)
@@jvdesuit1 You win the prize for the most asinine ethno-nationalist comment based on poor reading comprehension.
@@jvdesuit1 I am a US citizen who had an academic major area of study in English literature. I am not sure what I said that caused that defensive reply. Nureyev, unlike the other choreographers whose work on this story that I have seen, studied and made use of Renaissance ideas that students who study Shakespeare’s work discover and relate to his plays. I suppose this also goes on in non English speaking countries wherever Shakespeare’s work is seriously studied as it qualifies as basic Shakespeare scholarship, but Nureyev was not a student. He apparently undertook the study himself and thus his version is the most literate I have seen.
This version of the Dance of the Knights shows what one can do to that challenging part of the Prokofiev music. No other version seems to understand how to present this dance as well. Bravo!
I never understood what people found in Rudolf Nureyev. "Ballet just". Now I can understand the enthusiasm! I have been watching this performance every evening for months and I am still AMAZED. Nureyev`s choreography draws the music with the bodies of the performers.
So fluent, he accentuates almost every note with movement. The colors of the set, the illumination of the dancers, the drama. Always a feast for the senses! Prokofiev would have had tears of joy and excitement in his eyes. Thank you for uploading this video to share this wonderful performance with the world !!!
Thank you for your kind words and for your great comment!
A very mysterious surrealist proposal, which produces a mixture of different sensations. The riskiest version I have ever seen. Simply and insanely wonderful!
The dancing is just TOO PERFECT!
I absolutely love this ver. of Romeo and Juliet. In this choreography Juliet seems more modern, powerful, independent girl, which fits with the narrative. Legris and Loudieres are superb dancers and their actings are flawless. Thank you for posting.
Adverts every 10 minutes really spoilt my enjoyment of this beautiful ballet

I know, they've begun allowing more ads on vids. I went to listen to Bela Lugosi's dead the other day and got an ad before it, one in the middle of it, one 10 seconds before the end, and then 2 after it. |:(
With the exception of the little artificial balcony scene (MacMillan is unbeatable at that), Nureyev's version is exceptional. It is so vivid and amusing, with a really great sense of spectacle. It seems to indicate the fact that this is ballet, not theater, therefore it's the dance that's clearly the main conductor of the story, in each and every scene. Also, it doesn't hurt that two of the most talented dancers in the history of POB, Legris and Lourdièrs, are R&J. So great to see Charles Jude still dancing too. Just incredible, thank you so much.
57:02 the strings here are SO majestic!
De loin la meilleure version que j'ai jamais vue. La dextérité des pas, l'expressivité des corps et des visage sur lignes tourmentée de Prokoviev incroyable! Merci d'avoir partagé cette merveille !

This is the best Ballet with my favorite choreography and dancers. The emotions are so strong. It tells the story exactly.
Watch it every few months.
Quanta eleganza, sensibilità e armonia nell'interpretare la musica di >Prokoviev da parte di Rudy! Indimenticabili entrambi!
This is my favorite thing to watch at any day. I love romeo and Juliet
C’est Le 25 juillet 2024 aujourd’hui
Bonne Anniversaire Charles Jude 🍾🎂🎈🎁😋
28:22 - Mi parte favorita, espectacular e hipnotizante. Sin duda es mi ballet preferido por la pasión y vehemencia que expresa la música y las danzas.
1:31:20 😍
I love tybalt's costume. The silver really makes him stand out.
Wow, thanks for sharing. We see MacMillian's version more often, but Nureyev's ballet is beautiful, very beautiful. I think it's better ;-). Thank you again!
Thank you for your comment!
Robert Lancup I am watching/listening to this now, but I still love the Corrella/Ferri/ MacMillan version. especially the balcony "make out scene"(hahaha) they not only express with arms & legs, but facial expressions. I freely admit that the Prokofiev here is tempo and expressively perfect. Be well and vive les artes!
Even after only ten mins I can see exactly what you're saying. I saw The Macmillan the other week, my second ballet and I was complelty blown away as was my friend who has no interest in theatre. I will say that there's something in that.
The Macmillan is more a work of theatre, is there a term for that in ballet? Like in musical where you have jukebox musicals etc
Que ce soit l'orchestre de l'opéra de Paris, la chorégraphie, la qualité des danseurs/danseuses... c'est vraiment une très grande performance et une très belle interprétation! Bravo à tous les acteurs de ce ballet, musiciens, danseurs, chorégraphe, techniciens, qui me font passer un superbe après-midi!!!
Merci infiniment d'avoir posté ce spectacle magnifique
Mon dieu!!!Quelle merveille complète de technique, de sensibilité et de mis en scène!!!
I love the MacMillian's version, however the dynamic between Juliet and Tybalt in this version is so much better and clear. Their dynamic is so unique and interesting; also the gentleman who plays Tybalt has wonderful stage presence!
I absolutely adore the way they handled Tybalt discovering Romeo! Tybalt has a lot more character in this version.
It's hard for me to pick which version I like better; each do certain things better than the other. This is really fascinating.
I like the relationship between Romeo and Juliet being much more cute at first, however later on, I found myself feeling that the choreography in the balcony scene didn't have the same passion that I feel in MacMillian's version. There just seems to be a lot more passion in the MM version whereas this one definitely carries more subtlety. I find myself preferring the MM version in this regard.
Either way, this version is superb and Tybalt was just magnificent.
Thank you very much for your commentary

Gave me shivers ! I was lucky to be in the audience in 2011. Thank you for the upload Volodimir !
It can not be your favorite if it is the only scene you know from the ballet…
Magnificent! Thanks for sharing this gem, Mr. Balyk!
Thank you for your comment!

I know the feeling ❤
Spasibo Rudi... 🩰🙏🏻🌹
Magical!
Here for my module in music,, 😂😂
Its a really good performance
This is absolutely beautiful!💜
thanks for posting
I'm glad you enjoyed this great work!
so beautiful :)
SUPER!!! THANK YOU!!!
It is not clear what you need to understand in Nureyev"s choreography. It is nothing to understand. He wanted to dance as long as possible. To do so he needed to simplify choreography for his aging body to cope with the stress. He did not care if it was impressive or beautiful. He did everything for himself to dance the classical ballets as easy as possible. He would never be able to change choreography dancing in Kirov ballet so he fled to the West and became famous due to political reasons. Young generation of dancers like his choreography because it is easy. Most ballet professionals see that Nureyev had gaps in his ballet training and was not capable to dance very complicated choreography, but he was a good actor what some ballet fans buy.
Чушь собачья, завистники. Нуреев непревзойденный!!!
I don't know if it's just me, but the music is not in sync with the video anymore, it's ahead of time :(
I'm sad because I love watching this video from time to time, I like this version.
Is this still the case? I'd like to watch a video of the ballet, but I have no prior experience with it, usually I listen to music on its own.
2:27- Act 1
1:04:00 - Act 2
1:31:23- Act 3
Thank you.
Beautifull Nureyev the best coreografy
Have a fine day🤠
Last scene was beautifully done.
Wonderful version
This is sublime!
Slower tempi than Im used to - but this music works at any speed....
24:30 ending of arrival of guest gets me every time
GORGEOUS!
Superbe ballet ❤❤❤ ❤
the Dance of the Montagues and the Capulets reminds me very strongly of Jerome Robbins' choreography for WEST SIDE STORY.
It is so much so! Dance at the Gym was no doubt Robbin's (and Bernstein'd) sincerest form of flattery.
Mi ballet favorito de Sergey Prokofiev el ucraniano ruso🎉❤.
Fabulous.
55:04 my favorite. Act1 21.
Еxcellent stage setting and choreography
Romeo julieth coming back in world
I am no great fan of classical ballet but I find this interpretation as 'modern' as it can get. I saw La Bayardère at Garnier with Nureyev and found it unbearably 'dépassé'. The French school now produce some excellent dance (just watch an excerpt of Spartacus here on TH-cam) borrowing from modern gymnastics, skating, and short of Cirque du soleil.
wow
Bro an add just stopped me half way through dance of knights.
Choreographer : Rudolph Nureyev.
Cranko's is still the best !
What scene is at 2:06:35??
Indeed I was wondering the same exact thing. Never heard of the priest (who had to deliver Father Laurens message to a banished Romeo) being killed on the way. Need to pick up Shakespeare and read that part afresh.
beautiful indeed but the McMillan version has far more depth.Not a superfluous movement..he is the supreme choreographer here.Having said that comparisons can be odious.Both are superb.
Thank you very much for your commentary
Les gens qui sont là du cours de musique ✋🏼
Does anyone recognize this song at 28:26
Dance of the knights

also called 'montagues and capulets'
46:26 고전교향곡 3악장
Jesus... Seven minutes in, and all I can look at is his... Um... Tights... I mean his dancing really is amazing, but... That butt... And other things.... Phew. I've never fully seen a ballet before and I really want that experience, but apparently my tiny primal brain won't get away from the inappropriate jokes. Is it possible to appreciate both at the same time? As soon as other dancers were involved it wasn't as bad, but still. I always to try to focus on music to let me know what's going on, but I don't even remember his music now. Luckily as it goes on, it's not like his solo, but the immaturity is still there in my head while I'm loving the music and the actors dancing. What's wrong with me?! Is it okay for me to still find humor in the "dirty things" I see while loving the music and dancing and story that's going on in the meantime?
Or am I just an insufferable pervert?
Impressive.
2:19:09 🥺🥺🥺
Шедевр!!!

Love this music
I agree, Dance of the Knights is a beautiful and powerful piece
19th century blockbusters were much better me thinks.

Spasibo...
Rad vašemu kommentariju!!
A rather dark R&J version that I have ever seen..
dancing with her "corpse" in his denial, hoping she might come alive again...
the silent screams...
Expressions only through movement speak more volumes than words alone.
Very poignant
28:22 Peace Was Never An Option.

Fasciné par les fesses de Tybald !!! 🙄😁...et le reste 🤪
This is amazing dancing, but why do they prance around on their toes so much?
faqiu bech
I prefer Nureyev more as a choreographer than a dancer. Did not resonate with him.
mais j’aime mieux la musique de racaillev
Dekor ,kostüm başta olmak üzere,balerinler,baletler koreografi hepsi çok başarılı ancak bütün bu güzelliğe karşın orkestra düşük seviyede kalıyor bu da işin tadını bir hayli kaçırıyor .Belki orkestra iyidir de kayıtta tonmaister tutturamamıştır o da düşünülebilr,zira bu kadar emeğe ve değişik yoruma güzel oyuna rağmen müzik falsolu...
yo lo veo totalmente desfasado, música y escena 🤨
c de la 💩
