I saw this production on stage in the 80's while going through a very challenging time. Cinderella's entrance into the Ball, the flashing bulbs like stars, mysterious darkness, the sublime music - it was transporting then and a reminder now how beauty can heal the soul. Thank you for sharing this with us!
This has always been my favorite Ballet! Rudolf's choreography, well ahead of his time, and the exquisite Sylvie Guillem makes ballet look effortless, he precision and grace and versatility, even tap dancing here way into being the best ballerina of all time.
I will never forget an article featuring Syvie in a 1980's Interview magazine. One comment regarding her was: " the one dancer no company can afford to lose".
when she left the Opera de Paris for the Royal Opera in London (double treason), the French minister of culture, Jack Lang was shout out at the House of Representatives, it was almost a state matter !
@@blue14428 it was a joke ! I understand why she left ....POB rules are very strict and even now some Etoiles are leaving like François Alu recently, but it didn't make a big fuss like Sylvie Guillem's departure. !
I watched this magnificent ballet again from start to finish, this is quintessential ballet theater. Rudolph Nureyev was an amazing choreographer with unique detail to music, timing and characterization which are unpredictable here. How wonderful he made this Cinderella for the young superstar in the making, Sylvie Guillem. Exquisite.

This is the very first time I saw Sylvie on tape. I could not believe at what I was seeing. Now after so many years I understand the humor, the spirituality, the greatness of both Nureyev and the company and of course how immense was Sylvie's talent not only technical and physical but also what a great theatrical instinctive and natural approach she had when impersonating a charachter.
This is lovely!, the choreography by the great Rudolf Nureyev is wonderful, fabulous!, I love to see Rudy dancing with his cigar. Many thanks for sharing it!
Гениальный Нуриев!! Потрясающее слияние музыки и танца! И непонятно, то ли музыка рождается из танца, то ли танец из музыки)) Браво!!!? Сильвия великолепна!
The first time I saw Sylvie Guillem was this very ballet shown on tv one christmas circa 1985. She is totally awe inspiring. What feet, what arms!!! Nuryev's choreography is amazing too
Seeing the last scene 1:52:50 when Nureyef and Sylvie danced together, I realized that he made this ballet because he wanted to dance with her in his last minute of his life.... I mean Sylvie is such a special ballerina. Just splendid.
" И весна и любовь " Там, где горы встречаются С морем! В синеве перламутровых Звёзд! Слышу песни, Мелодии снова, Так влекут И манят за собой! Я читаю стихи, Ты с улыбкой. Смотришь искренне, Долго, Всерьёз. Я любуюсь тобой, Моё солнце! Каждый выдох И вдох Мы вдвоём! В каждой песне Рисуем сюжеты. Наших дивных Заоблачных Грёз! Моя девочка, Вечное лето! И весна И цветы И любовь!
I was actually lucky to dance this version (the lead role). Rudolf was still alive and still dancing the same role. Can't even remember how many times he stuck that darn cigar in my eye in act three...
Brilliant original choreography and interpretation by Nureyev ...whole idea .. love it so much ..wish it was available in better quality ...always low quality film back then :-(((
Deaf defining beauty unlike anything I seen before. I chance of justice system working without flaw or doubt. A kings ransom. Good to the last drop. I believe justice was served.
Last time I checked it was not available on DVD, although another performance by the Paris Opera Ballet (without Sylvie!) is. Go figure. I'll keep googling it every once in a while. They have to release it one of these days!
If this is really all Rudy's choreography, I take back every unkind word I've ever had for his choreography being redundant and having nothing to do with the music! Although the beginning of the second act drags a little and feels unfocused, once the main characters enter, it picks up. Guillem is magic, and what he's done with the choreo of the step-sisters (plus their presentation) is hilarious and has most of my joints aching in sympathy (I think it's Guerin at 1:02? Where she's briefly standing sort of in 5th on point but she's bearing her weight *on* her arches?) You have to really be good to dance this badly without killing your body. I have to admit I didn't quite follow the sense of juxtaposing Guillem's sweet Charlie Chaplin impersonation (she taps and soft-shoes! I swear she can do anything!) with 2 fairies followed by Groucho Marx followed by two more fairies, but I liked the way he moved all four groups around the stage. And wasn't this broadcast as a Christmas special by a lot of PBS stations right around the time home video was becoming a thing? I missed it then and have always wanted to see it. Thanks for posting!
This shit is ridiculous! I feel very honored to be human right now, These beings have mastered their craft in such a way that is out of this world magical. And not to mention their connection to the music. TAKE NOTE KIDS!
It seems that many of us have been waiting to see this ballet again after many years. But it still doesn't seem to be available on DVD (or VHS for that matter). I don't understand why since it was filmed for television and it is such a beautiful performance with Sylvie Guillem and even the pleasure of seeing Nureyev. Has anyone found it?
Sadly no ..I just have a poor vhs recording ..so grainy ..it is sad so many great performances were not recorded ..or recorded then locked up and hidden .. very frustrating disappointing ...upsetting ... :-((
Retirement as theme in this play. Holding on to those prescience years old age and the like. Unlikely illness tramp under or feet. To stones the return unknown of any kind but our kind. Finest photographs leaves us in mystery.
This is a wonderful version indeed. What do you mean by "a real show"? This was performed by the Paris Opera Ballet, and filmed for television. I think it's available on DVD.
oi como q será q ela fez para entra nesse negócio de dança peça,,, pq meu amigo primo queria porque é o sonho dele mais o pai dele não vai pagar,,,, tem de graça? upp
When my sister and I watched this, we thought that at 30:14, those were the fairies of absinthe and we on some kinda acid trip. Still think that. The tap dancing nonsense, the fairies of spirits and the horrible costumes ranks this version of Cinderella very low on my list. Pity since Cinderella is my favorite classic ballet.
I don't think this has anything to do with Ashton (in part because his two step-sisters are guys in drag) but I'm wondering if he might have adapted some of the choreography the Bolshoi used to use (so Grigorovich?)
Il balletto e bellissiimo,.. I ballerini sono ecezionali,... ma la musica di Prokofiev.., mah..purtroppo mi stanca,.. non la sento benefica per me ! "Il tocco" di Noureev e sublime , come sempre... 💞🚀💖
Thanks so much for replying....my son Graham (8yr old phenom, already has 5 major ballets completely memorized and working on Cinderella now haha) uses my computer to watch videos... I think that's exactly what he meant....I'll see if the DVD is available for purchase...:D

you could have not put it better in words!
This is absolutly Brilliant! thank you Nureyev and thank you Sylvie this moment will last for ever
The ending is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen done in dance. I cried.
What a treasure.
Million thanks to whoever added this!

I really love how the mother and two sisters aren't as graceful as they could be; it's a very nice and humorous touch!
I'm totally moved, what a genius Nureyev was! Thank you for posting this!!!
This is lovely!, the choreography by the great Rudolf Nureyev is wonderful, fabulous!, I love to see Rudy dancing with his cigar. Many thanks for sharing it!
toujours aussi merveilleux, Sylvie tout simplement sublime! les 10 dernières minutes sont un moment de grâce absolue!
Musicality of this choreography is just incredible. The moment when she portraits Charlie Chaplin is my favourite one. Magnificent production.
А вы говорите,гениями не рождаются, становятся, да-слов НЕТ ГЕНИАЛЬНАЯ!!!
And the Paris Opera Orchestra...WOW!!!!
Гениальный Нуриев!!
Потрясающее слияние музыки и танца!
И непонятно, то ли музыка рождается из танца, то ли танец из музыки))
Браво!!!?
Сильвия великолепна!
The first time I saw Sylvie Guillem was this very ballet shown on tv one christmas circa 1985. She is totally awe inspiring. What feet, what arms!!! Nuryev's choreography is amazing too
Merci 🙏 pour le partage. Un merveilleux moment de danse 💃 classique. Un enchantement 💥🌹🧜🏼♀️
Dearest Mlle Sylvie. Thank you for showing us how strong a dancer can look.
Glorious dancing! I LOVE this performance! The best!
This recording is more than 10 years old.. but up to now it"s the best I ever seen; Of course Rudolf Noureev was the
chorereapher.
Filmé et enregistré en 1987
I think this music is absolutely beautiful! My dance school just put this show on. Now, it is one of my favorite ballets ever!
Seeing the last scene 1:52:50 when Nureyef and Sylvie danced together, I realized that he made this ballet because he wanted to dance with her in his last minute of his life.... I mean Sylvie is such a special ballerina. Just splendid.
" И весна и любовь "
Там, где горы встречаются
С морем!
В синеве перламутровых
Звёзд!
Слышу песни,
Мелодии снова,
Так влекут
И манят за собой!
Я читаю стихи,
Ты с улыбкой.
Смотришь искренне,
Долго,
Всерьёз.
Я любуюсь тобой,
Моё солнце!
Каждый выдох
И вдох
Мы вдвоём!
В каждой песне
Рисуем сюжеты.
Наших дивных
Заоблачных
Грёз!
Моя девочка,
Вечное лето!
И весна
И цветы
И любовь!
Incomparable performance.... Thank you. (And thank you for the scenes/timings.)
Thank you so much for posting! I have been wanting to see this version again for many years!
Thank you for uploading this ballet. It's long been one of my favorite performances by Sylvie and I haven't found it on DVD.
I was actually lucky to dance this version (the lead role). Rudolf was still alive and still dancing the same role. Can't even remember how many times he stuck that darn cigar in my eye in act three...
Certainly lucky ..it is so rare ...who cares about the cigar if you managed to this ..unless they were all useless
A very original performance. Good to watch or even just to listen to as background! Thanks for putting up.
This is my favourite thing to work and read to! Thank you!
OOOH WONDERFUL! i've it in VHF.... i'm so happy to find it on youtube
I love Sylvie..Tooooooooo Beautiful ..Perfectly !!!!!
Perfection belongs to a few and Silvie is not one of them. She was honestly good.
A huge thank you for uploading this version that I used to watch on tape every month as a child. So many memories, so many dreams!
Sylvie simply the best !!!!
she is magic!
진짜 레전드 대박... 오래전부터 보는거지만 볼때마다 감탄이 절로 난다. 이 영상으로 늘 신데렐라가 내 인생 파드듀이다.. 저렇게 한번 춰보고 싶다.. ♥ㅋㅋ
La beauté de Charles Judes
my favorite part is when the clock strikes 12 and she escapes. brilliant
beautiful
Fabulous❣️
Сцена драки тоже как из голливудского фильма, невозможно перепутать.
Thank you so much for posting this ! I have been waiting for this ballet.
I love this as much as Rossini's Chenerentora opera.
Glorious
I think the Phantom was there watching and put the magic into Sylvie's dancing.
Tuula Westra I think it was Nureyev.;)
@@linhiril664 then Nuriev was Phantom)))
Please consider adding credit for SERGEI PROKOFIEV . This is an excellent and very beautiful production! Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant original choreography and interpretation by Nureyev ...whole idea .. love it so much ..wish it was available in better quality ...always low quality film back then :-(((
Love the cotums
I love how Nureyev turns the King Kong with the Hawaiin girls part into a kind of parody Afternoon of the Faun.
Thank u for sharing
my favorite cinderella....
Un seul mot MAGIQUE
R m C c : magique , alors je peux vous affirmez que vous ne lavez jamais vu in live à l'opéra de Paris !

38:54 but How she change her dress so fast??!?😨😨
She had the dress under the first one, and the first one it just maintain with scratchs : )
Magic 😉

happy to see this, too thanks ciao

May I please copy costumes and backdrop please
Its so great to know so many around were educated by tv, Tom and Jerry; and now they are even music critics hahahahahaha
Yes its beyond belief !!! Lol
Этот балет больше похож на мюзикл.

J saw the first Cinderella in live at Paris-opera to day j don't remember anything ! nothing !
Роль мачехи исполняет мужчина?
I love it soooooooo much men it is soo nice ps is that a real show
But thanks ...this is beest Ive found and I bought original video :-((
Стэп? Неожиданно!
40:25 mi parte favorita
This is a wonderful version indeed. What do you mean by "a real show"? This was performed by the Paris Opera Ballet, and filmed for television. I think it's available on DVD.
I think the stile in memory of era sound less movie and in honor of Rudolfo Valentino.
Films?!
Where o where can I buy this on DVD?
oi como q será q ela fez para entra nesse negócio de dança peça,,, pq meu amigo primo queria porque é o sonho dele mais o pai dele não vai pagar,,,, tem de graça? upp
Ti ho mandato la Cenerentola .
BUON fine di settimana Eugenio. A martedì. Un abbraccio
They lost me when they went to the city.
yay the original choreography now i can see what they actually were thinking about when they wrote it instead of some new nonsense
I don't know which is better: this or The Nutcracker.
When my sister and I watched this, we thought that at 30:14, those were the fairies of absinthe and we on some kinda acid trip. Still think that. The tap dancing nonsense, the fairies of spirits and the horrible costumes ranks this version of Cinderella very low on my list. Pity since Cinderella is my favorite classic ballet.
Maybe ...who knows ..Nureyev was artistic ...often in another world without any drugs ..but certainly free thinking ... original ...
i want to this DVD !! don't make it !!
Scenography Petrika Ionesco (the great stage director)
This is Nureyev's staging of Ashton's choreography?
I don't think this has anything to do with Ashton (in part because his two step-sisters are guys in drag) but I'm wondering if he might have adapted some of the choreography the Bolshoi used to use (so Grigorovich?)
Il balletto e bellissiimo,.. I ballerini sono ecezionali,... ma la musica di Prokofiev.., mah..purtroppo mi stanca,.. non la sento benefica per me !
"Il tocco" di Noureev e sublime , come sempre... 💞🚀💖
Интересно, корпус у балерин почти неподвижен, очень зажат.
Thanks so much for replying....my son Graham (8yr old phenom, already has 5 major ballets completely memorized and working on Cinderella now haha) uses my computer to watch videos... I think that's exactly what he meant....I'll see if the DVD is available for purchase...:D
I don’t know why but her dress in his face at the end made me giggle. Not a great ending for him and unfortunately caught on tape forever.
extraordinaire virtuosité des danseurs et de la chorégraphie. mais mise au service de quoi ? du carton-pâte ? d'une grossièreté de far-ouest ?
После танца Сильви очень тяжело дышит.
By Sergej Prokofiev
А вот и Рудольф Нуреев собственной персоной, который после смерти оставил Парижу свою квартиру более ценную, чем Лувр.
