i appreciate that christopher saunders, senior ballet master and in the role of the king, doesn't seem to dance and instead just wanders around onstage looking confused
@@Miikapot I’ve watched this so many times but it took me a while to notice😭😭😭 like why couldn’t this be moved by a stagehand why did they HAVE to be a tree
When she did the upside down figure she looked like a rose, which is very fitting for the red queen, and everytime she lifted her legs high enough it reminded me of this , its gorgeous but also quite interesting.
@@yahairamontes406 No. The queen is definitely a woman. That role in this ballet has, so far, always been danced by a woman. You might be confusing this with Sleeping Beauty, where the part of Carabosse is sometimes played by a man.
The tap dancing Mad Hatter was brilliant. The queen of Hearts performing a cartwheel was good, just unexpected. I never thought I'd see this performed as a ballet, and I very much enjoyed this and the music.
brilliant,,,,,,,, they're trying to obey her but she's so vague and sporadic in what she wants that they stumble and run around in fear for their lives while not even knowing that the queen wants. the king trying to set himself up miserably in order to dance with her until he looks at all of the guards to dance with her was SO FUNNY BRO
Zenaida Y. is the Queen of all Red Queens. Cannot imagine anyone else topping her performance. Absolutely brilliant choreography and the performance of it as well. Wishing she had not retired as early as she did. BRAVA!
Absolutely magnificent!!!! Impeccable technique, irresistible sense of humor, honoring Sleeping Beauty, and yet very original, and Bravo on acting! 🙌 🎉 🌹 can’t wait to see the whole performance live!!!
Brilliant combo of great acting, fun choreography and technical brilliance.... my hamstrings were twingeing just watching some of the things she does....
Увидела исполнение королевы другой артистки и все,даже хореография ,пропало. Этот исполнитель - самое гениальное представление данной роли. Все на грани,но она не была преступлена,в сочетании с фантастическим мастерством,после которого я задумалась :так ли хороши лучшие солистки большого театра? Это холодное,сдержанное,высокомерное выражение лица в покое, то,как исчезает улыбка в повороте тела,как она откусывает пирожное и даже как ковыряется в зубах !
И здесь нашлись "ценители", которые называют балерину мужчиной и не в курсе, что из себя представляет Червонная королева. Зенаида отлично справилась с ролью.
Но ведь это же не классика, это пародия и надо сказать, очень хорошая пародия и шутка. И по-моему, в главной роли- мужчина, по крайней мере все предпосылки…
I would be having so much fun if I was her, this is like the best role in this ballet your so graceful but have such a attitude it's looks like such fun 😊
I have watched all the wee separate videos of this ballet and must say the ballet is so imaginative. The Queen of Hearts is superb her performance is amazing and so funny. I have never seen anything like it. Thank you🥰
Это балет "Алиса в стране чудес" в исполнении балета Ковент-Гарден, спектакль выше всяких похвал. А Красная Королева это 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 и так до бесконечности. Кстати, это мой самый любимый момент спектакля. ❤💐 из России.
Watching the ballet as a whole, it’s interesting that the Queen of Hearts is the same person as Alice’s overbearing somewhat hysterical mother (as characterized in the ballet)
Wow. Thanks for sharing. The first one (Svetlana Efrmova, 1960) is telling a story, every step is deliberate, and telling a story (with no props or backgrounds!). It’s magic, like the music IS COMING FROM HER MOVEMENT. I can see the fairy dust (sugar) tinkling out from her tutu and from her palms. That is the intention of ballet, is it not? The musicians are off screen because they are supporting the dancers. The subsequent examples are much more awkward, movements more appropriate for the toys of Herr Drosselmeyer, but not a fairy. My sister and I were absolutely mesmerized by the fairies adding dew to flowers and spiderwebs in Fantasia. The fact that the first dancer told a story with her body almost as well as a whole team of animators with months to work on it is blowing my mind. The dance of the sugar plum fairy has never been this good in a production I’ve seen. It needs the slower, deliberate creeping movements.
J' ai acheté la vidéo de ce ballet et, franchement, je ne le regrette absolument pas. C' est vraiment une version superbe et inoubliable. J' ai adoré. Je peux bien partager Mon point de vue avec Vous mais je garde la vidéo DVD.
0:57 I like how the queen is so perfect and the soldier is struggling! And the next soldier part... the queen's arm motion... looks like "I am going to chop your head off^^" Like... "go off with her head!!"
Прекрасные исполнение и артистизм. В принципе видя такую вопиющую некомпетентность становится понятно почему головы долой xD Улыбка как она скалит зубы - тоже превосходно. Типа я улыбаюсь так, как будто головы щас лично всем откушу xD
She didn’t actually bite into any of it silly 😅 she’s not going to risk a piece of a cookie going down the wrong pipe in the middle of a live performance.
i appreciate that christopher saunders, senior ballet master and in the role of the king, doesn't seem to dance and instead just wanders around onstage looking confused
As per the Original! 🤣
I’d say he was confused….
It was, inline with everything that was going on, a confusing situation!
Kudos to everyone involved in this production that _somehow_ manged to not lose it laughing on stage.
Especially the trees
@@K4ntoeEspecially the trees… 👍
When the Red Queen did a full-on cartwheel I died laughing.
That part was too good😆
I have no idea how everyone else on stage holds it together when she's making faces and being so funny
no you didn’t
@@Miru-n2o🤓
@@Miru-n2o you know, you dont have to be a wet blanket. eveyone knows its just an expression.
Who knew humour in ballet could be so well done. Brava!
Imagine telling your family you have a part in a royal opera house ballet and they come to the performance and see you're a tree😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They still better get me flowers 😔
only when i saw this comment i realized there are people in the trees. WHY ARE THERE PEOPLE IN THE TREES
@@Miikapot SAME HAHAHSHA
@@Miikapot I’ve watched this so many times but it took me a while to notice😭😭😭 like why couldn’t this be moved by a stagehand why did they HAVE to be a tree
That's called living the dream baby
The off with their head gesture is so subtle yet dramatic i love every second of it
I know rightttttttt
what a wonderful role!! and kudos to the males for keeping her safe with all those crazy off balance sections
Is the queen not a male dancer too?
@@ErdbeereRotNo, I think it’s Zenaida Yanofsky
Yes He is.
The fact that the headsman just follows all of her dance partners around in case she gives the order is hilarious.
I need this in my life
It’s actually a man dancing as the queen
@@yahairamontes406no, it’s Zenaida Yanofsky
The personality of the queen of hearts is so well portrayed. Perfect
Perhaps the best comedic dance ever...in any genre! Beautifully done. Brava to the Queen.
Check out Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. They have some hilarious pieces as well as some very straight artistic ones
When she did the upside down figure she looked like a rose, which is very fitting for the red queen, and everytime she lifted her legs high enough it reminded me of this , its gorgeous but also quite interesting.
The queens a man
@@yahairamontes406no... no they're not. sorry women aren't womanly enough for you? weirdo
@@yahairamontes406 No. The queen is definitely a woman. That role in this ballet has, so far, always been danced by a woman. You might be confusing this with Sleeping Beauty, where the part of Carabosse is sometimes played by a man.
The men acting as buffoons was absolutely so ridiculous yet simultaneously technically beyond reproach and I love that ballet can do that.
Good thing is: If someone messes up in this bit of peace, it wouldn't really be noticed and even if, it would still fit perfectly
I prefer this version with this dancer. She captures the queens cold elegance so well.
The tap dancing Mad Hatter was brilliant. The queen of Hearts performing a cartwheel was good, just unexpected. I never thought I'd see this performed as a ballet, and I very much enjoyed this and the music.

Queen isn’t a women, but a man
I think they made her skirt look like a rose petal on purpose. Good idea.

WHY IS THIS WHOLE SHOW SO DAMN GOOD?!?!
What company is this?
@@krisi8358 the royal ballet I think
Because it's the Royal Ballet Company with some of the finest dancers and choreographers in the Dance world.
This particular cast of this particular part of the show will never not be my favorite thing ever
Outstanding interpretation of the "inflated EGO" 💔

Отличный балет! Хореография, музыка, сценография, юмор-всё это на высоте!!!Смотреть с детьми, им точно не будет скучно!
Мы бы посмотрели бы конечно, а вообще это что такое было?
@@Хрустальнаялампа Балет современный ,, Алиса в стране Чудес", но в классических традициях и при этом с юмором, вкусом и фантазией
i love the part where one of the card soldiers narrowly avoids getting his head chopped off!
И здесь нашлись "ценители", которые называют балерину мужчиной и не в курсе, что из себя представляет Червонная королева. Зенаида отлично справилась с ролью.
That was the most graceful cartwheel i've ever seen!!! Everything about this performance is so beautiful and fun!!! I love it!!!!
Браво....слов нет ,мастерство и артистизм на высшем уровне,.......
Вы серьезно? Мастерство? Высший уровень?
Но ведь это же не классика, это пародия и надо сказать, очень хорошая пародия и шутка.
И по-моему, в главной роли- мужчина, по крайней мере все предпосылки…
@@Коджагёль Вот и меня не покидает мысль, что партию Королевы исполняет танцор-мужчина. ))
Not OP, but WHY are all this people saying fucking bullshit? SHE is NOT a boy, and the whole dance was just wonderfull
@@ivolgamos Зенаїде Яновська
Years later and only today did I realize that this is throwback to Sleeping Beauty! Brilliance!
Yes, i noticed that as well, the Red Queen tries to copy Aurora's birthday dance with the four princes, but with her four playing cards😆
The rose adage right? Except instead of roses it's fruit tarts, and all the male dancers are incompetent 😂
Simply brilliant! The best mélange of comedy and perfectly performed ballet scene!
Превосходное чувство юмора) и как грациозно и высокохудожественно исполнено!
her facial expressions are just gold xD
I would be having so much fun if I was her, this is like the best role in this ballet your so graceful but have such a attitude it's looks like such fun 😊
Condolences to seven of diamonds who kept getting rejected by the queen lol
I think it may be his blessing, considering what happened to the four of clubs😭
I have watched all the wee separate videos of this ballet and must say the ballet is so imaginative. The Queen of Hearts is superb her performance is amazing and so funny. I have never seen anything like it. Thank you🥰
The physical acting mixed with the dancing is so cool too see
The choreography, the direction, the costumes, everything is amazing!
It's amazing that you can come up with it.

What ballet troupe is this? I must watch more!!! That was a masterclass in comedy genius and ballet grace!!!
The Royal Ballet.
i love the Queen of Hearts. This part is amazing.
For the idiots who are having doubts if it's a man or a woman... she is a woman and her name is Zanaida Yanowsky!
Omg I didn't know an Alice in Wonderland ballet even existed, how interes...was that a cartweel?
Sometimes i feel like its own ballet exists for absolutely everything😆
Великолепно танцует. С каким юмором)
Watching the ballet as a whole, it’s interesting that the Queen of Hearts is the same person as Alice’s overbearing somewhat hysterical mother (as characterized in the ballet)
And the Author is the White Rabbit, the garden boy is the Knave of Hearts, the arab sheikh is the Caterpillar, the magician is the Mad Hatter , etc.
Absolutely stunning performance
Самое лучшее исполнение этого сюжета из всех постановка. 👏👏👏
Это так круто! Великолепно, с юмором
She’s such a pretty dancer
I honestly believe the "messing up" might be even more difficult than doing the actual Rose variation
the music flows perfectly as the chaos reigns on the stage
Я небольшая любительница оперы и балета, но это СУПЕР!!! Браво!!!🎉❤
Ballet’s never caught my eye until now. WOW! And absolutely just graceful despite the humor.
Костюмы и оформление просто великолепны
She puts the comedy across beautifully 😁
Imagine all the hard work you do to become a stage actor and the casting director casts you as a tree😅

the amount of technique and practice it takes to look like this much of a mess without hurting anybody

Давно так от души не смеялась.
Спасибо!
Вот это владение телом, вот это постановка! Шедевр!
She is brilliant...
crazy how she balanced on her toe for such a long time without anyone holding her that really hurts and pretty hard to stay stable at
She looks so pretty being a queen of hearts and a beautiful ballerina
Wonderful choreography! 😍🤩😄

And the next soldier part... the queen's arm motion... looks like "I am going to chop your head off^^"
Like... "go off with her head!!"
What a delicious performance. The Red Queen knows she is without fault!
Впечатление что во всем королевстве нет никого равного ей , поэтому она там и Королева
Absolutely love this one it's hilarious 🤣
Интересное выступление. Солист балета прекрасно справился со своей ролью. Замечательное выступление.
Оказалось, что это женщина.

“omg you were in the royal ballet? what were
you?”
“a shrub”
It’s the attitude and the facial expressions that make this so funny a really brilliant performance from the Queen down thanks
Немного из "Спящей красавицы", шикарно!)
Best performans ever... 🤩
It must be such a fun to dance the queen of ❤❤❤. AND to eat as a ballet dancer even on stage 🤣😋
She didn’t actually bite into any of it silly 😅 she’s not going to risk a piece of a cookie going down the wrong pipe in the middle of a live performance.

If I was the queen of hearts I'm not sure I'd do a good job of not smiling😂
バレエを知らなくても、十分に楽しめる作品です。
素晴らしい🎉ダンサー達に拍手👏
Blimey. What fantastic poise. And she maintains it.
I really think the the Queen is the most skillful dancer in this show. her move is much difficult than others.
I'm begging you! Can you tell me who's the soloist? This is just unbeatable!
Zanaida Yanowsky is the soloist, but she's retired now.
@@cncinc100 Thank you, my friend.
