- "Pas de Deux" from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker
Rudolf Nureyev as The Prince
Merle Park as Clara
Orchestra of the Royal Opera, Covent Garden
John Lanchbery
From a 1968 BBC broadcast - บันเทิง
I was taken to the Royal Opera House to see Nureyev dance in The Nutcracker one Christmas when I was young - unforgettable. Much later I saw him dance with Merle Park and everyone was simply holding their breath because it was so wonderful. I was taken backstage to meet Merle Park and she said Margot Fonteyn had been in the wings watching, and that she herself could hardly believe she was dancing with him as Margot had.
Великолепный Рудольф Нуреев , великолепная Мерл Парк !!! БРАВО !!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤
I dance with national ballet 20 years ago when Rudy was still with us. His lines were so beautiful. It was perfection, and such a pleasure to be with him.
Did you ever meet Merle Park, too? She is very daring in this pas de deux..
Is it true that ultimately, she had an accident while dancing
...that somewhat shortened her brilliant career?😢❤
Непревзойденная постановка Рудольфа Нуреева!

So much is amazing about the way THESE TWO execute this pas de deux!
BUT PLEASE!!! Has anyone watching this video ever seen any male dancer hold the final position like Nureyev does here:
her full body weight so high aloft upon his one leg - so cleanly and for so LONG a time? Yikes!!!
Almost as breathtaking as that amazing twist in the air she does after he throws her high above his head.
(Honestly - how did they even REHEARSE that?)
Phenomenal... daring ...memorable... Beautiful!🌹🎆
pas utile la dernière pose.

Oh dear! Not always!😅
@@rmp7400 omg right?? this was one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen, its incredible
Почти 70 лет Адажио из Щелкунчика П. И. Чайковского моя сама ая любимая музыка, независимо, кто танцует, слушаешь ли в театре, на пластинке или как сейчас - в планшете. Поистине гениален наш великий Пётр Ильич!
I had the privilege of watching the two of them from the wings of the Met. As I see this clip now I can't help but compare their performance of Swan Lake's Pas de Deux with that of so many others--something I could not have done back then, when in my early twenties. What I see is that while many of today's premier male and female dancers have physical proficiencies not seen in dancers of Nureyev's and Fontayne's time, it is the connection the two maintained with each other on stage--a respectful intimacy--that needed none of the acrobatics we often see in dance today. They danced. My thanks to whoever posted this clip. It's brought me back to a very happy time.
Its not Margot. Its Merle Park! MW
Cal Pozo "They danced" amen bro, amen
Two perfectly matched wonderful performers ❤️
@@malcolmwhitehead7225 Yeah, and it’s The Nutcracker not Swan Lake. Poor thing.
Wgi said it wasnt, Dreamer? M..W Whatever, its lovely musicn fine dancng. n Rudi is perfecction in every way. MW
Неподражаемо и гениально!Наслаждение и восхищение!На века!
Extraordinary Rudolf Nureyev!!!
I'm ballerina and always have admired, the talentous, brilliant, energetic, personality and of course Artist Rudolph Nureyev. Before married I had a great poster into my bedroom of him at an incredible jump! He really seemed to fly .I love forever Rudolph Nureyev. 🌹❤️
This may be the most beautiful pas de deux I've ever seen. Breathtaking!
Not really!

Wow that was beautiful. They were like one person. I have only just started to watch Ballet 🩰 such a beautiful dance ❤
Идеально! Не насмотреться!
Божественно красивы!
Слиты с божественной музыкой! Гармония до слез!
No puedo dejar de llorar al ver esta maravilla ! Cómo envidio a los q estuvieron ahí, q privilegio. 🥹❤🥹❤
Watching this never gets old.
Breathtaking performance !❤
What a beautiful pes de deux. The line of beauty is perfect. I cannot help watching rudi and merle over and over again.
First time ever seen 'mirror reflection' partnership, between two remarkable dancers.
Moved to tears. Only on repeat viewings have I become conscious that the music is magnificent; so mesmerised by the beauty, grace and strength of the dancers. Thank you for sharing this- we are enriched
omg his technique is sublime, omg this choreo is amazingly dangerous
My God….I’m crying! I’m sitting here crying! They’re so beautiful….so beautiful….
What poise grace and strength this dance piece requires. Here it was carried out beautifully. The timing was excellent. What most don't see is all the hard work and practice that has gone on behind the scenes.
Brava Merle! Seeing her dance was one of my fondest ballet memories. A truly great talent!
Tchaikovsky's music, Nureyev and Park on the stage -what a marvelous combination! Saludos from Uruguay
Rudolf Nureyev was unique. He has been the best!!! Marvelous, extraordinary!!! I love him forever.
I watch this every day. The music and nureyev and park are stunning.get goose bumps every time. Fabulous.
I saw Patricia McBride's final performance in NYC and the stage was covered with roses.
So beautiful! So talanted! Nuryeev has his special something what makes wanting look at him more and more.
I had the joy of watching Nurejev in Macerata at the end of his career. No one ever held the stage like him.
The most beautiful performance mesmerising and ‘other worldly’ it’s just extraordinary, thank you so much for the opportunity to witness it’s a rare treasure indeed.
Parfait,
!,
She is simply beyond words!!
We all know how surreal and sublime the peice of music is!
She is terrible, always late and wobbly

Вот какое золото оставил Нуреев! На кого скажите после такого посмотреть?
Бессмертный Рудик!
Брависсимо!!!
Нам теперь Цискаридзе предлагают и не только он сам. Меня упрекают за то, что я восхищаюсь Нуреевым и не воспринимаю Цискаридзе. Вроде как вообще ничего не понимаю
What an exquisite interpretation.
Una couple admirable.
Fantasticos milimetro a milímetro, segundo a segundo. Fantásticos !!!😊😮
The greatest Rudolf Nureyev
Wow! That final lift was amazing to see and very much a surprise! I've never seen this interpretation before. Lovely. :-)
And who but Nureyev could have done it - holding (for over 7 seconds) during that final lift, the two of them on his one leg - so decisively, so poetically!🎆
Beautiful! Wonderful to see such a classic recording from 1968.
Magnificent!
Там,где Рудольф Нуреев,дух захватывет!все меркнут!Совершенство смотреть бесконечно!Его постановка Щелкунчика непревзойденна!Гений,так много сделавший для развития балета и поднявший на высоту мужской танец!!!!!!Он должен бы жить!Его искусство на века с нами!!!!
Он бесподобен!
Он жив и будет вечно жить в своих постановках ♥️
Его искусство на века, непревзойденный, гений , красава он будет вечно в наших сердцах.!Браво Рудольфу !!!❤❤❤
Più che li osservo e più mi dico NESSUNO RAGGIUNGERÀ questa perfezione ed eleganza...... Come ho già detto qui sotto.... 2 ANNI FA
Comunque ringrazio tanto per aver ri-inserito questo post
Ahhhhhhhh🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I usually don’t like dance or two, but oh my goodness this was a treat! A dance or two where both dancer shine, equally, and ughh!! Bravo!!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I LOVE this choreography! It is THRILLING! It gave me CHILLS!!!
Amazing. His lines are so beautiful. Unbelieveable. And the costumes are worldclass.
choreography! Love this so much!
I first saw this video 11 years ago and it sparked an interest in ballet that still lives in my heart today. I'm a musician, not a dancer, but I've had the privilege of playing in the orchestra for the nutcracker and it was one of the most musically satiating experiences of my life. I'm so happy to have found this video again! I thought it was taken down for the longest time. Seeing it again, I can't believe it's from 1968! The passion, the drama, this might be the most incredible pas de deux choreography ever. I just love it so much!
Grace and beauty, sheer perfection.
This music is beautiful
So different structure or coreography . QUITe. BEatifull .Perfect. Grate Nureyev ando Merle Park. From Chile - Southamerika. Admiration for ever.
Beautiful, just beautiful!!!
It’s lovely to see so many comments from Russians who love Nureyev so much! I have no idea if he even thought about how the _people_ in his country would feel about him after his defection-I’m pretty sure he was only thinking of the politicians and secret police-but I’m glad that they revere him for what he did and how he always represented Russia, no matter where he went or what he did. Even Merle Park’s headdress speaks Russian! Beautiful dancing here, just a beauty and symmetry filled with feeling, so much more beautiful and artistic than physical pyrotechnics!
Simply breathtaking. Such grace, such beauty, such extreme athleticism. Wonderful we have this record of these amazing dancers.
Just wonderful!!!
I really love this performance, it seems dangerous and beautiful all at once. Thanks so much.
Right!?!? Excitement in every moment because it could go wrong at a y moment, yet they don't let it!!! This is Ballet at it's best if you're in the house watching, you're on the edge of your seat, and if they make it you can't help but shout Bravo!! Please compare this Nutcracker pas to any other you might find: I guarantee that sense of dangerous excitement sill be lacking.

La perfección en todo su esplendor!
Que tiempos aquellos!!!!
I watch this over and over I love everything about it from the beautiful corps de ballet, the costumes, the lovely music-centered dancing. I do not care for the acrobatics of modern ballet. I can’t get enough of this style!❤
Could not BE more beautiful!!!!!!
Rudolf out of breath???? never seen that before! fabulous, went right into my favorites
That was absolutely breathtaking. I really loved the choreography, and those lifts where out of this world☆
The lifts are rather dangereous for the ballerina.
Noureev and Cathy
Magnificent!!!
Bravo!
Beautiful performance to that soaring piece of music. Thank you.
Merle park is just sublime in this
He was indeed beautiful - she bewitching - the truly best pas d deux ever. I can watch this over and over again.
Still gets to me every time I watch it.
Hermosísimo...perfectos
Que dire d'autre que : FABULEUX..... On reste accroché à ces quelques instants de Merveilles !!!!
I love this orchestration of Tchaikovsky's music.
Written for orchestra , and arranged for the piano by Pletnev.
This is so beautiful! Love the video. Rip Rudolph. You were a amazing talent and beautiful. Especially Nureyev. He really works hard to make it look effortless and to make Merle look good. Very impressed!
IMO Dame Merle Park was the supreme academic classicist of the Royal Ballet in her heyday - bar none!
Грациозность,чувственность, эротизм_,Выходит Гений Р.Нуреев и больше никого не видишьПрекрасная партнёрша у него_Кейн!
Ошиблась,Парк!
Непревзойдённое па_де-деГения Рудольфа Нуреева и Мерле Парк из превосходного балета его же постановки!!!!Дух захватывает!!!!!
Merle Park was Rhodesian.
Many dancers in the Royal Ballet came from Rhodesia. One of the many good things about that country.
Божественно!Пластика,артистизм,чувственность ...Прекрасная партнерша у Гениального Р Нуреева.
she's amazing!
Magici interpreti, eleganti, raffinati, pieni di armoniosa bellezza, una vera gioia per la mente e per il cuore. Rudy, I love you forever!!!❤️❤️❤️
Que lindo!! Que sincronidade entre eles! Que leveza!! Grandes bailarinos. 👏💯♥️
Superbe chorégraphie, merveilleusement interprétée ! Merci mille fois !
Rudolph will always be a legend - timeless & perfection in every deliberate move. He always stole the show & presented the ballerina in the best way, yet one still watches him. Miss when ballet had lavish costumes & backgrounds. Now it’s all just lighting & simple costumes.
I watched mostly the ballerina
This was beautiful… Got my eyes a bit teary at some moments,
!!!!!!!!+++ ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО ЗА ВИДЕО !!!
Cuánta belleza, cuánta perfección en la danza. Bellísimo.
Ooo my goodness what a wonderful , great, perfect, breath taking performance
Der blanke Wahnsinn. Einfach nur schön. Ich liebe den Tanz mit Nurejew und ich liebe 🤟 💘 den wunderbaren Tschaikowsky.
Unparalleled perfection. And the music.... so gorgeous
Breathtaking!
Mon Dieu ! Qu'ils sont beaux !
Elegance at its very best. Thank you.
Нет слов, чтобы описать внутренние ощущения - и гениальная музыка Чайковского, и генильный Нуреев со своей партнёршей... До слез !
Спасибо Вам за такие слова!
Очень нравится! Как хорошо, что есть эти съёмки?
Раньше почти перед каждым Новым годом ходила на,,, Щелкунчика,,, и уходила с ощущением счастья оттого, что я русская
Beyond spectacular! OMG.... I have never seen anything so breathtakingl beautiful. Superb is an understatement.
Bozanstveno , nikada nedostignuto. 😍
This rendition looked just beautiful to me . I enjoyed this very much. Thank you.
Thank you so much for posting this. I saw this interpretation of The Nutcracker with Rudolf Nureyev in NY many years ago, but didn't appreciate it as much as I do now (too young I think). This pdd I watch at least once a day now! So beautiful....
Прекрасно!.,!
Details! Precision! …wow. Beautiful ✨✨
The music, the dsncing...the incredible beauty. Perhaps there is hope for the human race, after all.
Quel cadeau, de bon matin. Merci!
No me cansaría de verlo bailar a Rudof. Único en su grandeza .
Wonderful!!❤
HO CONOSCIUTO NURYEV...HO BACIATO LE SUE MANI .....CON FRACCI.....SCALA E FIRENZE......NATURALE ..PERFETTO ...I SALTI PIU ALTI E PERFETTO.....UNICO X ME
Stunning, it was amazingly beautiful and this piece of music is one of my favourites. I would love to go to the ballet and watch this ❤
Sublime!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Her costume is so lovely.
To me this is a marvelous blend of superb artistry and some of most powerful music is ballet.
precioso, el ballet y la opera, me facinan, gracias x los videos
Bravo! Bravisssimo!!! One more time!!!!
Casa si può dire di Nureyev. .. fantastico irripetibile!
