- Principals of The Royal Ballet Marianela Nuñez (Pink) and Federico Bonelli (Purple) perform a pas de deux in Jerome Robbins’s timeless classic of pure dance, Dances at a Gathering, with solo pianist Robert Clark. Find out more www.roh.org.uk/tickets-and-ev....
Jerome Robbins’s elegant and elegiac classic forms the first part of the Dances at a Gathering / The Cellist programme. This exercise in pure dance for five couples, set to music by Chopin, is a masterpiece of subtlety and invention.

One of Nela’s greatest gifts as a dancer is her connection......with the music, with her fellow dancer (s), with the audience. She always seems totally present, perhaps because technically she IS so strong, so she can just let go and dance.
Totally!!!! She is an absolute legend. Her dancing is world class, no doubt about it!
And let us not forget Federico, his partnering is perfection as well.
You are so correct. And she is the closest in these ways to beloved Carla Fracci. And to beloved Fonteyn even if Nunez's technique is indeed incomparable. What great musicians these artists are, were, will always be. What gifts to all of us.❤️
Like being on Mount Olympus and witnessing a private moment of the gods. I worship the ground Nunez and Bonelli dance on.
Marianela's port de bras is a sight to behold. Thank you!
Oh, more please, ROH - and a blu ray of this brilliant cast. Federico and Nela are so wonderful together.
Marianela and Federico are the most sublime and stunning artists, truly transcendent.
For me the most important artist of our time ... Her dancing stays with me
Marianela is so the queen of Royal, omg
I don’t know why but I just can’t take my eyes off of this video, their dancing is just so incredible that you can’t stop watching
Saw this on the live broadcast. Thought it was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever seen on a ballet stage.
Absolute perfection - just what we all need in this time of hardships world-wide
Completely agree, I have to say these videos are getting me through this tough time.
Marianela is the Mary Poppins of ballet...perfect in every way! Those backward moving bourres defy description!
We have had a Ballerina staying with us during lockdown, and been given an idea of just how much effort goes into those apparently effortless movements. I think Marianela quite exquisite, and plainly very much in control and totally aware of the way her performance is seen, and to have been able to enjoy the Royal Ballet performances during this period, has been a wonder to me.
They were all terrific, and with the glorious weather, which was very welcome, especially during Springtime, these performances really helped in what was often a trying time. It is to be hoped that things will return to some normality before too long, and the Royal Ballet be able to resume in full measure.
So effortless from both of them! One of those pieces that makes the most of the pauses
Nunez is outstanding but both together are stunning✨👏💥
That was one of the beautiful things I have ever watched
Quanto è vera questa donna! Lei non si limita ad eseguire una performance lei si fa trasportare dalla musica lei è la stessa musica in movimento
I lost all sense of time watching this. I knew it was a short video, but it was so intense that everything slowed down. Wow.
Marianela is poetic and inspiring. It would be great to see the Dances at DVD or Blue Rey
Watching this I forgot everything. What a joy. Beautiful
So delicate! I'm just in awe at the perfect positioning of every step and movement. Glorious!
So powerfull stuning they rock both of them are so good the foot work the lines gorgeus the way they move just pure talent and beauty congrats for all of your work.
Returned again this week to see them dance this piece, truly magical. Also this season there Onegin was exceptional. Thank you 🙏🏻
Nella and Federico are brilliant. Only exceeded by Robins choreography. The entire ballet is a masterpiece!
Brings tears to your eyes!
Beautiful, moving, effortless.
Their faces are so expressive . . . and their communication makes one believe in telepathy.
Wow this is so graceful 🥺
The poetry of dance....perfect in grace with high strength to each note and step combination.
elegant and beautiful everything
Yes.
Wow....BEAUTIFUL!!👏👏👏
So peaceful... thanks you both for this❤️❤️
Seeing this in just under two hours time, along with The Cellist.' Hoping for a wonderful evening at the ROH as usual ❤️
I hope it was wonderful :)
So sublime.
So beautiful 😢
Queen Nela
Beautiful 😍😍😍
Just so beautiful
EXCELLENT!!!
This is sheer beautiful ballet Marianela is superb and far far outshines madame O !!!! She dances with her whole body right to the tips of her fingers and excellent in every role she dances - sheer perfection !!! and true ballet
they are both stunning dancers but entirely different styles and techniques. i don't think you can rate one over the other. it is just a matter of personal preference of who you want to see. i prefer queen O!
lara hartley agreed! Queen O!
Ms N is too heavy in all senses for this piece🤕
@@pininfarinarossa8112 the creators of the roles were bigger than marinuela
@@siegfried923 😊 might be, but gracefullness is not the Ms N strong point..she lacks it absolutely..😭
Que maravilha!🙏🏻❤️💐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷🖖🏻
THANK YOU!!! UMINOUSLY BEAUTIFUL!!! GREAT THANK YOU!!! BLESSINGS!!! POETRY IN MOTION!!!
Do anybody here knows that this part of Chopin's piano composition is reffering directly to Polish carol, called "Lulajże Jezuniu" ("Sleep, little Jesus")? So they basically dance to Christmas song ;)
lucjafiona Thank you for that comment.
That composition was made during Chopin's emigration to Paris. It is reffering to his nostalgic memories about homeland.
I wonder how long it will be before The Royal Ballet can boast of such a superb and versatile artist as Miss Núñez.
what???
?? Marianela has been with the Royal Ballet for 20 years. What are you talking about?
?.
I am bemused as to why my comment has been misunderstood. I’m well aware of Miss Núñez’s biography and merely thought that it may be a long time before we saw another dancer who is so wonderfully gifted across the repertoire.
@@ixopo6715 it was misunderstood because you missed a word. "another" superb and versatile would have made more sense.
the way you worded it sounds as if the RB doesn't have that superb of a dancer yet.
Is it just me or are there several homages to George Balanchine's ballet _Apollo_ in this pas de deux? Both 2:21 (head in hands) and 2:36 (the upside-down split lift) remind me of iconic moments from the pas de deux of Apollo and Terpsichore. Robbins greatly admired Balanchine, and it certainly wouldn't be the first time he paid homage to his work…
Yes, I see the similarities. I’ve also seen images from Apollo show up in Balanchine’s later choreography. The galloping horse step appears in one of the segments of Jewels.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Is it possible to know the date of this performance/recording?
Which chopin piece is this?
@ClementDown It's Chopin's Scherzo No. 1 in B minor. This section, in particular, is like 3 minutes into the piece as I recall?
Can anyone please tell me what this piece of music is? The choreography is superb and dancing sublime!
Karin, it is the middle section of Chopin's Scherzo No. 1.
Thank you!
Wrongly attributed to Ashton in one of their advert emails by the Royal Ballet of all people

Music??
This is an excerpt of Frederick Chopin's Scherzo No. 1 in B minor Op. 20. To hear the exact time of the piece in the video you can skip at around 4 mins. as the whole piece is around 10 mins. Hope this helped!
I agree she is the Fonteyn of today
Yo, this guy looks kinda like grant gustin
WTF??
Haha what?! I had no idea who Grant Gustin is but have just Googled.

I came to cast fire on the earth, and would that it were already kindled! I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how great is my distress until it is accomplished! Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.
Beautiful. Give us these classics, not derivatives. Keep that cello garbage in workshops, not on the main stage. More Robbins. More Ashton. More Balanchine.
It made a beautiful double bill with The Cellist. Both are great, and work well together.
@@MACEASY2 your sarcasm is delicious! as if the two were in the same league - ahaha! love your humor!!
I liked The Cellist, even if it was a little busy with unnecessary dancers. It was fascinating and Cuthbertson is such a fine dance actor I found it really quite moving. I think you’re being too harsh, calling it garbage.
@@mrsspanner14 You are entitled to your incorrect opinion.
Ronette Pulaski Your snobbish and subjective opinion is not shared by the dancers or the audiences.
This is absolutely beautiful! However, I feel there chemistry is lacking... I find myself either only looking at her or only looking at him, never watching them together
(I know nothing about these two dancers, so I could be wrong in my judgement, but that’s just kind of what I feel)
I agree. They are technically skilled, but lack the pliancy, athleticism and intimacy that NYCB dancers bring to Robbins's choreography.
Watch Nuñez and Bonelli in Manon’s bedroom pas de deux - they have ALL the chemistry together.
She is such a sloppy dancing ballerina. This piece is so pretty. 🙁
I'm with you on this imo Yasmine Naghdi did it better
