Thank you for this upload. I always love watching reconstructions! Ratmansky is for me an irreplaceable choreographer today, unique in his dedicated mission. I wish more companies worldwide will perform his ballet reconstructions.
Do you possibly have a link to his Bayadere reconstruction?
@@minissa2009 No... Unfortunately, I have not seen anything from this ballet yet... I would love to see my favorite Iana Salenko in it. Probably the Nikia's monologue looks a lot like the one in Mariinsky, they used to dance a reconstructed version of Vikharev. If I am not mistaken, BunduBallerina has uploaded a clip from that, with Daria Pavlenko.
@@minissa2009 There were some excerpts of his Bayadere reconstruction here on YT, with Polina Semyonova. I enjoyed what few there were.
@@kellyantoniadou8897 Iana is one of my favorites, too, and I saw her in the short promo clip. Unfortunately, "Bayadere Ratmansky Reproduction" tends to bring up lots of Vikhaerev!
@@minissa2009 Here's a link to rehearsal of the Ratmansky Bayadere with Semyonova in Berlin.

There are other excerpts here also. Just search Semyonova Ratmansky Bayadere. It was done about 3 years ago.
I saw the first NY performance of Ratmansky’s restaging of the Sleeping Beauty and was bowled over, and I’ve been seeing the ballet for 55 years. The old Royal version was beautiful, but tinkered with, but this is purer, and more detailed. It’s harder than the modernized iteration, where dancers fling their bodies and become more athletic and lose the details of Petipa’s intentions. I can also now see where Balanchine came from.
Me too! It is possible to see the clear line from Petipa to Balanchine!
One little detail in the "purity", Aurora should not bring her hand to 3rd position in the adagio, that isn't original way.
Yes! I agree it is definitely harder, especially for modern ballet body types.
@@anastasialenkova-molchalin5874 i am pretty sure he is using sergeyev notations, which are about as authentic as one can get without a time machine.
Well, despite the comments of posters far more knowledge than me, and at the risk of getting flamed, I enjoyed this compilation.
Thank you Bundu Ballerina for putting it together. Your work is always greatly appreciated.
I saw this reconstruction and did NOT like it. When the ballet was created and all the ballets of that period, the technique was cutting-edge. At least for the ballerinas. So reducing the technique dulls the dancing and does not create the same impression as it would have at the time. Yet oddly, the Rose Adagio follows the way it was first done in the 50’s by the RoyalBallet.The Russians were not doing it that way.
I found this to be a wonderful performance worth watching. I think Ratmansky' production is valuable and intersting, as it gives us all the opportunity to reflect on the evolution of ballet steps, technique, costumes etc... with time. Every production, every coreography is different, not all of them will please everyone.... and everyone will have their own favourites!
So incredibly gorgeous. I was fortunate to have seen this version three times a few years ago. It is breathtaking.
To understand the challenges of reconstruction from what is recorded of the original version requires specialized knowledge that is sadly often not appreciated. These reconstructions by the very musical and expert choreographer Ratmansky may not please everyone. They are of value to those interested in the history and development of the great classics. The technique required of the dancers is most challenging too: often the dancers of the past were less precise technically and less extended, but they dazzled with speed and endurance, and for men with exhausting batterie sequences. For the layman it could be of interest to just enjoy a different version of a famous classic. Sadly, there are so often complaints based on little understanding.
I understand that reconstructions are valuable, but I wish they would use for them special occasion, like anniversaries or galas, but I guess too much effort and money goes into them for a limited use.
I totally agree! I cannot understand why people don't like them. Raymansky is a guarantee for me. At least the audience seemed enthusiastic. They say it is simplified. This choreography? Really? For once I am not bored with the prince's variation in the third act and I enjoy the musicality of the prince's dance. I think big companies could have both versions, the reconstructed and one if their own. But if they can only keep one, I would prefer this. I had seen short clips of Vishneva dancing this ballet and I liked her so much. I wish we could also have seen Alina Cojocaru dancing this ballet.
@@kellyantoniadou8897 I saw this reconstruction with the same cast, except for Copeland, and it was fantastic! The dancers were absolutely wonderful. Cornejo's and Lane's variations were stunning. Such fast feet, such artistry blended with impeccable technique. Simplified choreography?!?! Ratmansky's reconstructions are great. I'd love to see his Swan Lake that MCB did this year, and his Giselle being danced by the Ukrainian Ballet in London.
@@Marta44339 Thanks for sharing! So nice that you saw it live. I did not know that about his Giselle... I have even more respect for him now. I will look it up, I would love to see his Giselle live
I guess those dancers 130 years ago were less physically trained than any amateur of today, also costumes were heavy and bulky, and pointe shoes probably very rudimentary? that would explain the limited extension, turns on demi-pointe etc.
Exceptionally demanding and so well executed. Thankyou.
I quite enjoyed watching the entire performance and I admire greatly all the principal dancers i.e. Sarah Lane Herman Cornejo Devon Teuscher and Misty Copeland. Special thanks to all the corps de ballet dancers - - too. And thank you again to @TheBunduBallerina for sharing.
Thank you for this wonderful compilation. I saw Ratmansky's SB at ABT a few years ago and loved it. Wish ABT had filmed it and streamed it in theaters.
So interesting to see... Amazing to see ballet without high extensions.
Also very difficult for modern dancers to perform. That male solo is incredibly difficult and designed for a shorter, stockier body type than most dancers have today.
Very true. Both of the points you make are absolutely accurate. Thanks for your comments!
As I know it is Ratmansky's demand for his all reconstructions. I mean high extensions.
@@makhnonatalie2600 you mean NO high extentions, right?
Amazing male part, and very brilliant all.
The birthday dances are gorgeous, I love to watch it! Without any spagat and other overdoings and that works! Nevertheless I`m a "bit astonished" about the princes variation - the wedding pdd to me it looks more like Bournonville style. Thank you so much BunduBallerina showing us this.
Christian Johansson, who was a student of Bournonville's, taught at the Imperial Ballet for over 40 years and had an enormous influence on what we now called Russian Classical Ballet.
@@kabardinka1 Thank you for your kind informations!🙂
The hats are seriously out of proportion. Way too huge. Especially the gold turban with the huge red plume. It looks like something out of a sci-fi alien movie. Misty Copeland is so wonderful.
Amazing! I guess men did a lot more petit allegro in Petipa's day. Very different than the revised soviet-era ballets.
First time for me costumes and steps modest and beautiful. So are. Principle. Dancers, so I could enjoy and not have to cover my eyes or stop. Watching completely
Sarah Lane is a joy to watch, I love her.❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
A wonderful reconstruction which differed from what we have seen today. No extensions, fast tempo, more mimes, although I think the design is ok, not that I don’t like, but I prefer the original designs by Vsevolonzhky that were used in Vikharev reconstruction. I’m still waiting for Ratmansky’s reconstruction of The Pharaoh’s Daughter at the Mariinsky.
That reconstruction in Mariinsky is not happening now. Ratmansky, just as Smirnova, was very publicly against the war from the first moment and wanted to cut out ties with Putin's state and the people that support him. Very sad for ballet fans but his decision makes me admire him even more as an artist and a person
@@kellyantoniadou8897 Yes! Both artist made the right decision to leave Russia due to the war and I felt really sorry for the people of Ukraine. Hopefully, everything will be back to normal ❤️, but I hope Mariinsky doesn't dropped his work.
this is really something special
Sarah is exquisite.
Herman Cornejo is fantastic!
Misty Copeland cannot be blamed for this choreography! But thank God she looked great in what she did with it!
1:49 very difficult combination.

Классно я люблю смотреть балеты
Misty Copeland has such beautiful feet and a high Demi pointe
How much work you need to put in in ballet. Hard training stretching the joints. And when a ballerina retires, the whole training of stretching joints is only in old age everything will come out. Joints can only hurt.
Where is Misty Copeland in this video?
Princess Florine.
Misty Copeland performs Princess Florine variation from 7:12 until 8:02
Not my favorite ballet and this version is a bit strange. (Because I can’t articulate what I mean.) it seems the music is the star here.
If you don't like the choreography complain to Marius Petipa. What you're seeing is the closest to how it was performed 130 years ago. The 1999 Sergey Vikharev 'reconstruction' was a bizarre hybrid of some of the originally notated steps with the modern Grigorovich version (which has nothing to do with Petipa). Sadly, Vikharev realized the Russian ballet-going public was unable to see a genuine reconstruction without throwing a fit. Ratmansky could care less about their reaction. The one thing I have a big issue with is the costumes, which seem like a cheaper-looking hodge-podge inspired by the Diaghilev Sleeping Princess. Funny how the Russian ballet-going public will see grotesque "reconstructions" like the Pharoah's Daughter by Pierre Laconte (which have absolutely zero to do with what Petipa originally created), and still pretend they're seeing a 19th Century ballet.
Bruh how do you know what ballet was "performed 130 years ago"? I get the lack of concentration on flexibility and more modest steps of old dancers, focus on more movement for an old style, etc... but as a choreographer, your job is to create a series of steps that are ACTUALLY ENJOYABLE TO LOOK AT, and Ratmansky fails big time here. Calling this choreo "a genuine reconstruction" is a HUGE insult to the choreographers of the 19th Century. Have you seen early 20th Century dancers on video(the closest source we have)? If not, I recommend John Hall's channel. He has some clips of very early 20th Century dancers, and I can tell you, the choreography is musical. Plus, imo the Pharaoh's Daughter is actually a fun ballet to watch, especially some of the variations. It's pretty clear that it isn't a genuine 19th Century ballet, but I dare say, that isn't the most important part of watching or listening to a piece of art.
@@schokoladenritter7969 The best sources we have are notes. This is what they do before a reconstruction. They make an extensive research from all notations they have on steps. I don't remember seeing the original version on the channel you mention. But it is possible that you saw choreography with less changes and the old dancers any way were more focused on musicality than extensions and were more theatrical as well. Before Ratmansky's version, I think Royal Ballet was dancing the version of Sleeping Beauty closest to the original. It is a shame that the Russians are dancing today this sleep-inducing blue bird PDD, their talent is wasted in my opinion, as they have the most beautiful arms and upper body in the world.
@@kellyantoniadou8897 I did watch the Royal Ballet's early version with Margot Fonteyn, and I liked the choreography - it was sense making, so I still think the Sleeping Beauty in the video is a Ratmansky problem. I think your last point is more of a tempo/conductors issue to be honest, not really a choreography one. It sucks that they perform at really slow tempos - that wasn't the case in the Soviet era. The Russians perform many different versions of the classics - they do have classical versions that haven't changed that much, if at all - Petipa worked there.
@@schokoladenritter7969 Dear "bruh"... The Pharaoh's Daughter is called a reconstruction, Vikharev's SB was called a reconstruction, the Bolshoi's VIkharev Coppelia was called a reconstruction. It's clear the Russian ballet establishment is attempting to push phony "classics" which have little to nothing to do with the originals. This is an actual reconstruction and follows the notation in the N. Sergeyev collection more than any other reconstruction. You don't like the steps or how they're performed? That's your business, but don't dismiss what Ratmansky is attempting to achieve... he's a very serious historian of ballet.Throwing in a lot of later 20th Century ballet technique and variations just because "you like it better" is disingenuous to the goal. And yes, I've seen every bit of early 20th Century ballet film and they completely resemble what Ratmansky is presenting. Does Sarah Lane perform those steps as well as Carlotta Brianza... we'll never know, there is no film of Brianza from that era. Following and interpreting the Stepanov notation is all we have.
@@kabardinka1 They do have Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty and from my memory Nutcracker originals(though the Bolshoi does the Grigorovich one) and the ballets you listed are not weighted that heavily in Russia. I don't think the Mariinsky performs the Pharaoh's Daughter or Coppelia, at least not anymore. They perform mostly the original SB and occasionally they'll do the Vikharev version (at least the Mariinsky does - Bolshoi loves Grigorovich and I can't blame them). Are you also saying that Petipa's choreography doesn't count? He's a 19th century choreographer. Does his choreo (writing) not exist anymore?
These low positions are killing me but also really nice !
Petite allegro and terre a terre training! Barre.
Preferisco la versione M. Petipa
Thanks for your comment. This is a very close reconstruction of the Marius Petipa version, recreated with archival documents.
@@TheBunduBallerina a che cosa serve oggi giorno? ballare cosi nessuno
Странная и однообразная хореография. Впечатление, что Ратманский намеренно упростил всё для не слишком сильной труппы.
Sarah Lane and Devon Teuscher are both very talented ballerinas and it’s a shame that the choreography makes them look like this.
Да там вообще непонятно, откуда их набрали, состав этот...Захолустное ДК..
The choreography is from the Stepanov notation from the original 1890s Petipa work. Ratmansky is fascinated with trying to show the steps as they were originally done and, unlike what Vikharev did (who did not really have full access to the notated originals) does not want modern extension or having Zakharova doing the splits in arabesque in what's supposed to be a historical recreation. It's not going to be to everyone's taste (and I personally dislike the costumes) but at least it's not pretending the Grigorovich version (mostly copied from Konstantin Sergeyev) is someone representing the original work by Petipa... which it doesn't.
Хореография взята из записи Степанова из оригинального произведения Петипа 1890-х годов. Ратманский увлечен попыткой показать шаги в том виде, в каком они были сделаны изначально, и, в отличие от того, что сделал Вихарев (который на самом деле не имел полного доступа к нотным оригиналам), не хочет современного расширения или того, чтобы Захарова делала шпагат в арабеске в том, что должно было быть. быть историческим отдыхом. Это не всем придется по вкусу (и мне лично не нравятся костюмы), но, по крайней мере, это не притворяется, что версия Григоровича (в основном скопированная с Константина Сергеева) является кем-то, представляющим оригинальную работу Петипа ... что это не так.
Oh, your opinion is a little bit harsh 😥. As far as I see, these dancers are extremely good. And live is not always black or white 😉❤️
Я эти примочки Ратманского вообще смотреть не могу. Они не вносят абсолютно ничего интересного, но позволяют, присоединившись к великим создателям, вписать свою фамилию на афишу. К сожалению им не создано самостоятельно ни одного путного балета вообще., способного прогреметь и напомнить о славе и талантах балетмейстеров России. Нечем похвалиться, только старая добрая классика Григоровича и более ранняя, способна поддерживать интерес публики к этому исскуству на мировых сценах. А современный балет новаторский вообще на редких любителей сомнительной красоты и нравственности.. ,. Обидно будет, если с уходом Григоровича на достойныйх продолжателях будет поставлена точка.. А пока квакает болото, из которого не проявилось новых имен, молодым не доверяют постановок, в них не верят и не допускают, обламывая крылья.. Что должно произойти, что б это изменилось?. Хватит буксовать, кто способен помочь, направить, вдохновить.? Кроме Цискаридзе, я не вижу волевых и достойных, значимых фигур.. Менять надо руководство Большого, и это не подлежит сомнению.
Интересно, что практически ни одна труппа за пределами России и нескольких стран СНГ не ставит балеты Григоровича. Никто за 30+ постсоветских лет. Что он сделал... два балета в Кировской постановке и множество посредственных "версий" классических балетов, часто копий версий Константина Сергеева. В какой грустной маленькой дыре ты живешь.
@@kabardinka1 только классические балеты Большого с"Седой бородой" давали аншлаги и полные залы. При Григоровиче и после. Новые - при полупустых, и часто тщетные потуги уйти в эротику и привлечь не танцем, а клубничкой - это просто констатация творческого бессилия и понтовый выпендреж бездарности Ничего нового, даже просто приличного визуального, не было поставлено после, Пиковой дамы Ролана Пети. Все! Ручник затянут. Эта мышиная возня, пытающаяся родить гору и свобода перемещения всевозможных трупп по миру не является свидетельством ни успеха, а тем более признания их великим танцевальным коллективом. Этими постановками и не сказано ничего. А до Григоровича - титана, окрыленного балетом, с собственным "Спартаком" и другими постановками- не дотянуться, а лучше и вернее - не доползти. "Рожденный ползать - летать не может".
Piuttosto deludente
Are turns in coupé and chaînes en demi pointe the new choreographic choice or are they making sure that Misty can perform the “new” standard of technique of a “prima”?
This is a revonstruction of the original ballet and, as Ratmansky is very reliable, one must assume that these steps were performed en demi pointe in the original.
@@dancingbluecrane2813 I was being sarcastic. My opinion. You should check out Copeland’s previous performance of Princess Florine to understand…
Very lovely performance, but Alina Somova would have been a better aurora.
Какой ужасный уровень хореографии у артистов! Они не вытягивают свои партии! На ноге не стоят, вертеться не могут, какое-то захолустное ДК!
Позор.Самодеятельность. Где они все учились?!Хореограф может поставить что угодно, но с этим надо справляться, а они не справляются.
Детский утренник какой-то.
так это американская труппа, они русскую классику не тянут от слова совсем..
Да, хотя в реконструкциях техника значительно облегчённая, по сравнению с классическими постановками. Странно, ведь ABT, хоть при слабых постановках, но всегда собирала звёзд, но эти как-то очень бледно выглядят.
@@user-tu8jp7qq7g ну, каждая страна в своём творении сильна.. остальные могут только подражать в чём-то.. нам тоже говорят, что мы Баланчина портим и немецкие симфонии не умеем исполнять..
I hated the costumes from the Ratmansky production.
I like Auroras costumes much more than ths stiff and hard looking tutus nowadays!
I enjoy very much the costumes, but the heatcovering are fare to big!!! Why? Nearly ridiculous!
They're an "interpretation" of the Leon Bakst Designs from Diaghilev's production of the 1921 "The Sleeping Princess." I agree with you.
@@kabardinka1 Thank you for the kind information.
Вихарев, Ратманский. Кто ещё нас огорчит якобы реконструкцией?
Terrible choreography I don’t like it at all even the costumes are horrible just my opinion and I am a former ballet dancer professional…😢
I fully agree with you.
So what is the Vikharev version?
This is mostly beautiful, but that prince variation. Awful. Did Petipa realise that princes are meant to be elegant. Though he thought Sleeping Beauty was a ridiculous idea for a ballet.
Thank you for asking. I have uploaded excerpts of the Vikharev version. If you like you can see them here: th-cam.com/video/Ug1Hssvhku0/w-d-xo.html

@@TheBunduBallerina oh! I see you have many excerpst from the Vikharev version, thanks for listing them all here. Is this the one I read that lasts for 4 hours?
Vikharev had relatively limited access to the Sergeyev Collection of notations and did not know how to read the notations himself. There are certain things he restored (like the full compliment of divertissements from the wedding scene), but so much else is NOT accurate to the notations, including the Prince's variation. When in doubt, he pretty much used the Konstantin Sergeyev Kirov version, but dressed it up in "19th Century inspired" costumes.
Karbadinka, thank you. I always thought it was a true reconstruction, but I guess not. Why didn't he have access to the notations?
On the costumes, it would be actually impossible to use true 19th century style, because they used costumes that were very bad for dancing in.
I love the dancers, but Ratmansky's chroreography is just atrocious, at least for this ballet.
It really is awful. Unfortunately this is the only Sleeping Beauty that ABT does and it makes a complete waste of the dancers. Ratmansky is very good when it comes to his own original ballets, but here he just wanted to make the ballet as close to the 19th century choreography as possible without any regard to how it actually looked on stage.
@@lillian6076 Sarah Lane posted excerpts of herself, dancing the predecessor version on her Instagram. I know it's only a small consolation.
@@lillian6076 Yeah, 19th century doesn't mean ugly. If you look at the really old dancers who weren't that flexible, it's still clear that the choreo was musical - the steps were just sometimes simpler. If you look at Bournonville's choreo, it's often really petite steps, but it was musical and beautiful. Imo calling Ratmansky "authentic" is an insult to the 19th century choreographers. I've seen a lot of videos of dancing of all recorded time periods, and I've never seen any choreography as atrociously ugly as this.
misty danced so well, i dont get how people just talk bad ab her just bc shes black :(
Ridiculous. You are the only one bringing up the colour of Ms Copeland’s skin. Shame on you.
@@josiedudley8451 im sorry if i offended you but the thing is ive seen a video where someone analyzes her and they said she has no talent, musicality or artistry, also they compare her with other dancers using videos with different choreography that isnt good on her, and say she is only being used by ABT to "perform her activism" so they can be viewed as a diverse company. in the video they say thats the only reason she is a principal, nothing to do with her talent, just the fake activism so they can get money bc they dont care ab black people and/or misty.
@@josiedudley8451 th-cam.com/video/X24INTYHgdY/w-d-xo.html here.
Thank you Ms Horn for your explanation. I have seen dancers who have been put in roles that do not suit them regardless of the colour of their skin. Ms Copeland is a talented dancer but I am sure there are roles she is more suited for than others. I felt the same with other well known ballet dancers. Thank you again for your explanation. Please forgive my harsh reply. Cheers.
I dont like this version and the principal.
Вообще смотреть не на кого. И постановки слабые и скучные.
Впервые разочарована постановкой Ратманского. И очень среднее исполнение, совсем не уровень АВТ. И надо же так не чувствовать музыку Чайковского! И абсолютная утрата стиля Спящей красавицы. Конечно, трудно судить о всем спектакле по небольшим фрагментам, надеюсь, спектакль в целом производит лучшее впечатление.
Это как раз то, как чувствовал музыку Чайковского сам Петипа, и реконструкция (якобы по архивным документам) "стиля" Спящей Красавицы самого Петипа. Что это за "архивные документы" бог весть. Мне постановка тоже не понравилась, разве что как историческая экзотика.
Что за поскакушки,безобразие
I love Sarah Lane but the wedding choreography was....eh.
There is one solo of the prince, that seemed to be from another ballet and another person. The other choreo : I realy like and adore the dancers. All these is very difficult to dance!
