- The Royal Ballet rehearse The Sleeping Beauty as part of #WorldBalletDay 2019.
Fumi Kaneko as the Lilac Fairy and Beatriz Stix-Brunell, Luca Acri, Anna Rose O'Sullivan, James Hay, Mayara Magri, Benjamin Ella, Yuhui Choe, Kevin Emerton, Claire Calvert, Calvin Richardson, Nicol Edmonds as Fairies and Cavaliers rehearse The Sleeping Beauty with coaching from Christopher Carr, Gary Avis and Samantha Raine and accompanied by pianist Paul Stobart.
The Sleeping Beauty holds a special place in The Royal Ballet’s repertory. It was the ballet with which the Company reopened the Royal Opera House in 1946 after World War II, its first production at its new home in Covent Garden. Margot Fonteyn danced the role of the beautiful Princess Aurora in the first performance, with Robert Helpmann as Prince Florimund. Sixty years later, in 2006, the original 1946 staging was revived by then Director of The Royal Ballet Monica Mason and Christopher Newton, returning Oliver Messel’s wonderful designs and glittering costumes to the stage.
The masterful 19th-century choreography of Marius Petipa is combined with sections created for The Royal Ballet by Frederick Ashton, Anthony Dowell and Christopher Wheeldon. Together they create an enchanting sequence of gems in the ballet repertory - from the iconic Rose Adage, when Aurora meets her four royal suitors, and the lilting Garland Waltz to the Vision Pas de deux, as Florimund sees Aurora for the first time, and the celebratory divertissements and final pas de deux that bring the ballet to its glorious close. Throughout, Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky’s masterful score takes ballet music to a height of passion, sophistication and intensity that arguably has never been surpassed.

can we give a round of applause for Paul please. mans is working HARD TOO
I agree, I can hardly appreciate the rehearsal without Paul playing the piano.
*applause*
As a pianist myself, Paul is the one I appreciate the most. The rest is all foreign to me lol
Paul flipping that page at the speed of LIGHT at 4:52
I'm deaddd
As someone who plays an instrument page turning (depending on what you play) is a feat in itself... he takes it to a whole new level😂
Lol yesssss😂
Rotfl
Danielle Schwartz agreed page turning is pain
Paul Stoddart is an incredible accompanist. I’d pay to listen to him play the entire ballet on the piano.
Stobart
Me too! I almost like it better than a full orchestra.
def
Я тоже обратил внимание. Это чудесный фортепьянный Чайковский. Большая культура звука и формы у концертмейстера.
The non-verbal communication between the dancers is priceless.
Me: Wow, they are perfect...
Teacher: STOP!!!
"NoT too bAd"
Exactly
Yuhui needs to be promoted to principal! She’s fantastic 💛💛💛
Fumi should be a Principal. I was disappointed that she wasn’t promoted when Frankie Hayward was promoted who I also adore
Alexandra Zarember Yuhui and Fumi should be principals already. I do believe Fumi is going to be promoted very soon, she took over the role of Aurora on a short notice when Lauren was injured.
the royal ballet is a very smart company, they might be an incredible talent but if they are still a student there is a reason
do you know if she was, I definitely think she should
Fumi...absolutely ethereal.❤
He is a wonderful director! He's stern and disciplined but he's not mean or belittling. And so detail oriented. It's very fascinating to watch the artistic process. Love these videos
Fumi and Yuhui are absolutely stunning!!!!!!!!
Imagine staring into someone's eyes for ages and not laughing.
Fumi is amazing, couldn't take my eyes off of her
Fumi is absolutely breathtaking! I just LOVE her! Brava Fumi...
Mr. Carr is spectacular! Nothing gets past him. Bravo Mr. Carr...
idk what it is about yuhui but while i can see the effort and hardwork behind the other ballerinas movement, she just makes it look so damn easy and absolutely elegant and gorgeous.
Coach Carr is like an amazing combination of fierce, commanding direction and incredibly elegant stride and posture. He's a completely different man from the other dancers.
I've said this before - of ALL the ballerinas the Royal Ballet chose to fill in for an injured Natalia Osipova as Aurora, they chose Yuhui Choe. That should tell Kevin O'hare something. YUHUI CHOE FOR PRINCIPAL!
You're absolutely right! She's danced many, many principal roles and is probably the most experienced First Soloist in the company. Yet for the past couple of years I've had this feeling that she's getting more and more sidelined as O'Hare seems to prefer younger dancers. It's a shame, really. Not that the other dancers didn't deserve the promotions they got (they surely did) but I expected at least Yuhui to be promoted alongside Alexander Campbell, since their partnership was absolute fire!
@@vickhs I agree. I wonder what they think that she's lacking? She has such wonderful spirit not to mention everything else!
@@Jayjen35 I don't wanna say specifics because I actually never saw Yuhui performing a leading role before at the RB, with the exception of her Odette and Odile to when she did Swan Lake in Korea. I wasn't necessarily impressed her in that video but again it's okay to not be sensational at every role and I'm sure she has roles that fits her better. BUT I have read and talked to people that do pay to watch the RB on stage for many many years and some have raised things to why she wasnt promoted to principal ( they were all very respectful btw ). A lot of people here in the comments try for example to bring up that Yuhui was called to fill in for Osipova, and she did, but the feedback from people ( who btw are not necessarily admires of Osipova ) was not great. They said she did a competent job but to compare to a recent case it wasn't no Matthew Ball coming to finish Giselle with Osipova after Hallberg was injured on stage. Meaning it wasn't a revelation. Like I said in a previous comment she also had the bad luck that a LOT of new and exciting talent entered the company during the years of transition of directorship ( from Dame Monica Mason to Kevin O'Hare), and if you look at the female dancers that were promoted to principal they all were below Yuhui. To be honest I think even Choe herself is already settled with her position in the company but I understand her many fans, especially from overseas, to be upset about her not being a principal when one day things seemed so likely to be.
sorry but all I see is poor technique , acting, ability, hate to say it but also not ideally shaped physically ...maximum should be a minor coryphee
Another principal also covered for Osipova and got even worse critics than Yuhui so respectfully I just don't see that
I love Fumi she's so good!
omg another Fumi Kaneko fan!!
She's so beautiful and I give her props for how well she takes direction. The director's amazing but I can imagine I'd be a bit intimidated myself and even if she may have felt it (same as the others), she's still doing her best and always looking so serene and happy. Her smile is everything :)
I'm overwhelmed by how good the pianist is! O_O Too amazing for words.
Everyone is saying the same thing. Yuhui Choe is wonderful and should be a principal dancer. I'm sure the decision is up to Kevin O'Hare, the director, so let's hope he reads all the complimentary comments about her.. Come on, Kevin, give her a break!
Mr. Carr really knows every step and sound as a conductor of this amazing choreorchestra
Fumi is amazing. She should have been promoted already. Not just here, but some of the soloists who are being showcased are just not quite where they should be
Fumi is such a beautiful dancer.
I can’t stop looking at Yuhui! She is always so captivating! Xoxo!!!
They're so beautiful! But my eyes were attracted for Mayara. There is somethitng in her muscles, body, elegance and face that makes me cry. Gorgeous!
Yuhui For Principal! For 11 years, First soloist. Sadly 😢
What a brilliant rehearsal. It’s so nice to see so many of the soloists dancing at once. They all did a great job and it was good to see Sam and Gary working with Christopher Carr. A fabulous team effort in fact 😊
How often do you see all the fairies being first soloists?
"When your man is coming to you, surely you would have a tiny little glint in your eye!" If the guy on the end of the line at 11:28 was walking towards me, that would not be a problem! ☺️☺️
That’s James Hay. One of my favorites. 😊
Am I the only one who is just looking at Yuhui?
GiyongAhn Same 🙌🏼
me as well
And me.
same here
I was too💜💜💜
I miss these videos of practices! It is so beautiful to watch the practices. Can’t help but makes me appreciate the work that goes behind each show I watch.
Love when he goes „Now Coda“ and you can tell in their faces that it’s gonna be a fast and exhausting one haha
I’m so happy to see this recent video with Yuhui in it! How incredible!
The girl in light pink top and Yuhui are amazing
Mayara is the girl in the light pink top
This part is so satisfying "....and the one.....head head...show!...." it's so freaking amazing how good these dancers are. 😍😍😍😍 hands down really 👏👏👏👏
yuhui’s dance is impeccable.
Yuhui Choe 🖤🖤🖤
Such beautiful attention to detail. Quite lovely to watch.
why do i find this so motivational hahah. i love watching ballet and i'm struggling to focus on uni work at the moment but watching this and knowing how long they practise for is so motivating wow!
Beautiful😍 I can watch it over and over again and don't get tired 😍They all are amazing 💯🌺
Fumi Kaneko is the best🥰🥰
I love Fumi! I love Beatriz I love Yuhui 💕💕💕💕💕💕 my favorites from here.
I don't like the yelling. It's not necessary. The dancers are not his maids.
OMG it's all my favorite ballerinas together in one room!!!
I've been lucky enough to have been taught a few times by Kevin Emerton.. amazing dancer, funny and down to earth teacher
Chritopher Carr cracks me up. What a genius. Nobody can clean up the corps like he does, except for Mr. Bart at Paris Opera.
Sleeping Beauty has such a wealth of beautiful music. This isn't even one of the more important scenes, but the music is wonderful. Definitely my favorite of the three Tchaikovsky ballets.
Ahhh yes!!! Yuhui😍 she so beautiful
Christopher Carr coaching.i click....reminds me of my dance teacher back In the 70's...utterly brilliant perfectionist..
Took ballet when I was young.. could never be a dancer, i would never remember all those steps. Takes a heck of a good memory.
Reallyyyyyy, i can't stop looking at Mayara Magri
Agreed!
Yu-Hui is just breathtaking!!!!
What a joy to watch and listen, the ballet master has such patience! The dancers are all amazing and so dedicated and focussed. This would’ve been my dream job 💗
Samantha Raine is just awesome. I could watch her coach all day.
And isn't this fairy section of the Prologue -- with the solo clarinet -- the most beautiful thing imaginable in ballet?
The direction throughout this rehearsal had me rolling! Am I the only one?
Great....My two favorites...Yuhui and Mayara 😍🥰
i love the dancer Fumi(?) for the lilac fairy i look out for her in all the ballet classes they post
Yuhui Choe is the best!!!❤
Yuhui Choe, I LOVE YOU❤️❤️
fell in love with Mayara for the first time watching this session
Mayara is blooming so beautifully! Couldn't take my eyes off of her. I hope to see her as a principal soon!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am very passionate about this particular choreography of The Sleeping Beauty. ❤
I'm going to see this next month and I'm so excited!!
Love when I get to watch Beatriz!!
larryslove890 same here!
But now she's gone . Perhaps she was too clever for Royal ballet 🎉
Ballet is expressing beauty in the face of difficulty.
The whole lot of them are future stars - Mayara Yuhui Fumi Beatriz Anna who did I miss? Nichols has filled out a lot since that Cechetti adagio. Oh Claire Calvert. I didn’t mean to but. Claire is awesome
Is that James Hay that I see? 😍
Oh yes it is!
He is so dreamy 😍
Wonderful dancer. Wish he was paired with Fumi....
Thank you for giving James some recognition! He is one of my top favorites in the company. I look for him in all of their videos. Yes, he is a wonderful amazing dancer, but so underrated. Love him. I hope to see him promoted soon.
@@ballerinadolllover2434 which one is James?
@@angelica1673 James is the young man in black with the stripped tights. I agree with everyone that he's a wonderful dancer, and my personal favourite among the Royal Ballet men (so good in the Ashton rep that I love) but he might be a bit too short to partner Fumi.
This video was so good, it had all the things to love, great pianist, attractive people, fabulous campy ballet master , my favourite music , good dancing , beautiful lead dancer , what more could you ask for
Am I the only one that noticed at 10:45 when they paused that one ballerina didn’t get up from the guys knee😂😂
No shade but I was just seeing if I’m the only one that noticed😂
I love these dancers and loved watching the rehearsals 😍❤️❤️❤️
I would have stayed there too if I were her!
Her name's Mayara Magri, she's stunning 🤩
LOL I noticed to. Maybe they get along really well.
A nossa Mayara está aí!
Bravo 👏🏼para todos
just seeing their performance at this rehearsal its a greattttt
These rehearsals videos make me so sooo soooo happy!
It is my biggest dream to do ballet and express myself through this artform, but I discovered it way too late... For some reason, those videos make me feel included
It doesn't matter how old you are , it's not to late to do ballet . you should try it .
It’s never too late to try something you dream of doing.
You go for it 🩰🩰🩰👍🏻💕
@@BingusEdits6501 I'm 20 now I took a few ballet classes when I was 18. COVID disrupted everything. Despite covid, I didn't want to continue with it anyway because professional ballerinas start when they are very young. I should have started when I was 7, opportunity missed XD. Anyway the past is the past. If I do have a daughter in the future maybe she will love ballet like I do. There's still hope 😆
@@BingusEdits6501 Yh, it's not too late to do ballet as a hobby, but it can be too late to pursue it as a career.
8:55 I love that part.... also that b plus position, is so pretty.
Christopher Carr: Coda?
Mayara: 🙄
17:38
Anyone else catch that? 🤣🤣
金子ふみさん凄いです✨
美しすぎます✨✨✨💖
MAYARA 💞 THIS IS BRAZILLLL
Benjamin’s from Melbourne , Aus. Yay! Go Aussie oy oy oy
Samantha Raine seems like a lovely ballet mistress.
waiting for the day Yuhui is Principal!!
yuhui choe we love you
GLAMOUR! iconic ❤️🤣
Amazing pianist!
My goodness Mayara!! You are something else!! simply mesmerizing...
imagine being that comfortable with boys staring right at you
Well they've doing this since they were little so maybe that's why
Can’t relate
Stupid comment
this stopping so much would make me crazy!!
It's like that in musical theatre and plays as well, the amount of times I've really emotionally connected with a scene and you hear 'STOP' being screamed at you is mad 😂😭
It’s that way in ballroom dancing also. Stopping and correcting a lot.
I think we should expect the next principal promotion to come from one of these ladies. If I were to bet I would say Fumi Kaneko and Mayara Magri - both are dancing Swan Lake next year which for many is the defining principal role - will be promoted first and then Anna a year later. My bets for male promotions are definitely with William Bracewell and Cesar Corrales.
Yes fumi or mayara for the girls, i also agree with you on the men, but i would want to add reece clarke
Reece is most definitely getting a promotion, but since he is still a soloist ( he had an injury last season and ended up not receiving a promotion then) I didn’t put him with Bracewell and Corrales on my list. I see him getting all the way to the top for sure.
I dont know, Yuhui has danced swan lake and so many other principal roles, i don't even know to expect...but i hope yuhui gets promoted, the girls deserves it
+Yasmim Yas I was there with you regarding Choe back in 2012-2015 but I find that very unlikely to happen now due to the amount of time she has spent at the first soloist rank and her age. I’m not criticizing her for getting old but that is the reality of ballet, though we have cases of ballerinas being promoted at an later age like Laura Morera at 30yr. I find that Kevin O’Hare priorities are very clear regarding promotions to principals. Btw Yuhui never danced the Odette/Odile role with the Royal Ballet as far as I’m aware of. I know she has danced Swan Lake as a guest in Korea and the pas de deux in galas though.
Me: Oh my God they are perfect!!!
Teacher: Allright not to bad
I love watching Christopher Carr lolol
Lovely ,,,,, ALL!!!
Amazing work.
GLAMOUR!
does anyone know where Fumi’s leotard is from? its gorgeous i love the neckline
I think Mayara is the best re musical ,technical, and acting ability ..also beautiful attractive physique
yall rlly doing yuhui dirty not promoting her to principal
we love everyone! but heLL she deserves more !!!!!!
"ONE AND AH!" 6:19
somebody? Anybody? 🤣
Perfect to bear the second wave of covid...02/02/2021
It's pure delight...
And the one....head head....show!!! 👌✨🙆
how many auroras can you fit in 1 video? Thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous! 💕
I feel terrible for admitting it.. but thats the king of all comb overs.. ive never seen one like that b4...
The guy in the grey top has *superb* form.
Loving it
Somebody please tell me Anna Rose O'Sullivan is being considered for a Principal position in the company!
Letlotlo Sibanda couldn’t agree more!!
I think we'll have a battle of the ladies ahaha This season, several of these ladies are doing principal roles, I'd say the ones with more opportunities this season and the last were probably Anna Rose, Mayara, Fumi and Claire.
Complementing what was said before, I think Anna is being considered but I’d guess that Fumi and Mayara are kinda a bit ahead of her. I do think the 3 of them will become principals coming the next few years.
Letlotlo Sibanda She was just promoted to first soloist at the end of the previous season so it will probably be at least a couple years until she becomes principal. Mayara or Fumi will probably be promoted first.
