Must be the most special thing for Mayara, dance at the Royal the same variation that made her the winner of de Prix de Lausanne, the variation that brought her to the Royal Ballet.
Cesar is such a gorgeous dancer. The way he performed his steps was poetry in motion. There was something unique in the way he made his beats. I kept looking at them with my mouth a little ajar like oh what beauty is he yielding before my eyes. His chiselled legs in motion are a beauty to behold. He is so wonderful. And he is so handsome and so beautiful and has such presence. These videos are a massive gift to the public. As a young girl, 55 years ago, I loved the Royal Ballet so deeply and to be watching a rehearsal before my very eyes is a special and great thing for me. And no one does things like the British people! The interviews, the bringing all the elements in including the costume aspect is so satisfying. Like a big, fulfilling, delicious meal. Oh and Steven Wicks talking about the great Robert Helpman and adding his dimension. These videos are wonderfully produced and very deeply enjoyed and appreciated. Leanne Cope is a smooth and polished hostess and interviewer. Leanne Benjamin is such a fantastic coach. She is a stickler and challenging but dervived from such a deep appreciation of how the creator wanted things performed. She keeps the integrity of the work. She has such an eye for details. She is such a purist. Mayara is such a wonderful dancer. Wow. She performed the dancing and pantimime so beautifully and she has such a wonderful and buoyant disposition. I could watch her long, fast legs performing the steps all day. Such sharpness and precision but rich. Suddenly getting this feed at 6:00 a.m. was a sudden gift that fell upon me and changed my entire mood for the morning and day. I am still thinking about it this video. The Royal Ballet is a wonderful entity.
THE perfect partnership, Mayara & Cesar - I’ve yet to have the opportunity to watch Cesar perform/rehearse: & now: WOW what a technician his elevation is unbelievable, turns for days (legs for days) & each movement pristine. It’s showy but not in a prideful manner: Cesar: you’ve already won me over! Gorgeous rehearsal! Thank you Leanne & everyone at ROH! 👏
Must be the most special thing for Mayara, dance at the Royal the same variation that made her the winner of de Prix de Lausanne, the variation that brought her to the Royal Ballet.
So many lovely things about this... the tradition of Leanne now passing the choreography to a new generation, Mayara Magri's beautiful dancing and amazing talent... the Royal Ballet is in a great place!
Some may not be aware that a good Dancer does not always make a good teacher/coach as it is a skill to impart ones knowledge to others and make it understandable. The Royal is very lucky to have the likes of Mason Thorogood Sibley Benjamin Collier and Dowell Carr etc to help recreate these roles. So that the Ashton, Macmillan, De Valois choreography is preserved and nurtured
Just got in from this evening's live screeneing of Coppelia, which was awesome. We missed the first 10 mins because the satellite link went down or something, but the rest was awesome. The third act pas de deux had me in tears. Thank you.
Lj Boakes I have also just got home after seeing it with a friend at our local cinema and it was really superb. Marianela Nuñez was so well suited to the role, although she seems to be good at everything. Her partnership with Vadim Muntagirov is obviously special and they bring out the best in one another. I am seeing them in Jan at The ROH and am very much looking forward to it. We are so fortunate to have this Argentinian and Russian at The Royal Ballet. Long may they stay 🌷🌷🌷
Lj Boakes Although I do live in the U.K. attending live performances is very expensive as I am not in London. The cost of tickets, travelling and staying keep me working hard. I have been quite a bit recently because of the American dancer David Hallberg, and I also flew to Milan to see him in Giselle with Svetlana Zacharova. He is truly exceptional and the only person I have gone out of my way to see live. So I to go to many screened opera and ballet at my local cinema. If you like Coppelia there is a very good DVD available from The ROH with Carlos Acosta and Leanne Benjamin. Enjoy 😊😊
Leanne Benjamin...what a perfect repetiteur for this, and anything really. She is so precise and knowledgeable about what it should look like. Btw she is in incredible shape!!! Does anyone know if she still performs? She should!
Snowy cold day yesterday with clients rescheduling ... 🇨🇦 no worries though, was able to snuggle up on the couch with the pup and watch the live broadcast .... wonderful! Enjoyed it so much did an encore later in the evening 🙂. What a selection of wonderful dancers The Royal Ballet has to draw from and delight us with, Mayara, Cesar amazing! Hopefully, looking forward 🙏 to seeing much more of them. 👍🤗💐
The difficulty with Coppelia when it was revived by Ninette de Valois is that Franz was in the 1870 premiere danced En travestie by a female, mainly acted role with very little dancing and no actual pas de deux s as we know them. So there is no music written by Delibes for a specific Male variation. Very often various companies substitute War or Discord from the third act as a male variation or one from La source by Delibes. Occasionally even one from Le Corsaire or Paquita. The final pas de deux is usually danced to the music for Peace from the Ballet.
@@elisedesoleil9784 But it's not healthy to eat fruit all day, since it lacks protein and fat. 2 nutrients that people performing physically strenuous activities on a regular basis need more of than the average person. Despite this, ballerinas often under-nourish themselves, for the sake of being as thin as possible. But Mayara isn't a waif. She's strong. So she clearly eats appropriately. Likely high protein, moderate carbs, and a fair amount of fat.
@@maybewise That may have been the case in the past with a few dancers. But as a rule they don't, and it's unlikely the big companies would allow it. It's simply not possible to do what ballet dancers do all day every day if they don't eat properly. They train like olympic athletes and have huge stamina. It's the exercise itself that gives them so little body fat, not starvation.
@@pvandck Not everybody can be thin, no matter how much they train, because some people have naturally wide torsos. And I've seen dancers be shamed for that. So eating disorders happen, because they're afraid of bulking, even if it's muscle. Especially adolescent female students, since their bodies are naturally changing, and they aren't typically part of companies that monitor their dancer's weight and diet. They show off their diets with "What I eat in a day" videos, and label it "healthy". That's what I was referencing with my initial comment. The ones that mainly eat fruit usually either give up dance, or the diet within a couple of years, because like you said, it's not possible to keep training like that, on a poor diet (without constantly having issues, such as dizziness and injury). So it's not just "in the past with a few dancers". Unless you're talking about at the Royal Opera House itself. Even then, I'd doubt that claim. But it doesn't matter. I just wanted to shout out Mayara's muscle. Lol. Edit: Ironically, today I wondered what Miko Fogarty was up to, since I remembered her dancing my favorite variation of Esmeralda, at the Prix De Lausanne a few years ago, and winning gold for it. I saw that she did a Ted Talk recently, where she talked about (wouldn't you know it?!), having an eating disorder while dancing. I get that we WANT to believe that all dancers are healthy. But they're not.
@@pvandck Sustaining intense workouts, while also "looking the part", is a tricky balance that ballerinas don't always master in a healthy way. It's not as simple as working out a lot. Because a lot of women are naturally wide-framed, but want to look thin. So body image struggles is not just a problem with people who don't work out enough, nor is it a thing of the past, or a myth perpetuated by The Black Swan. It's a real struggle that makes many unhealthy to the point that they think they should give up dancing. So it's refreshing to see a dancer who's muscular.
Obviously, it hasn't been problematic for Mayara, but I've wondered if dancers generally avoid putting on muscle when possible to keep their weight low enough to do pointe work (since muscle weighs more than fat).
If you're not taking ballet then start & if you're taking ballet lessons then keep practicing & then when you're 10 audition for the Royal Ballet School or apply to do their summer intensive. Hopefully you have parents/adults that can finance you or can help to get funding to support you. Follow your dreams.
I hope the RB really appreciate Mayara as a dancer who brings joy in dance, complex emotions, deep insights and originality in her interpretations. I guess they must do as they have made her a Principal
@Royal Opera House Please consider re-casting the cinema relay of Coppelia. Yes Marianela is a beautiful talented ballerina but it would be so great to be able to see Mayara performing this role. After following her from her success at the Prix de Lausanne then seeing her rehearsals on World Ballet day and here it would be so wonderful.
Hi can anyone answer this question i saw a video of mayara magri for swanhilda in the royal ballet channel that was dated 2019 and another video with marianela nunez for swanhilda still 2019. Were there perhaps 2 separate productions of coppelia in 2019?
A lot of time watching Prix it can get like..."oh great another Swanilda" Not Mayara! I remember watching it several times when it aired. Love watching the rehearsal! Here's the link if anyone wants to revisit it--> th-cam.com/video/_4tc6_Wjfn4/w-d-xo.html
She's been continuing with An American in Paris: this year she's done it In China, Taiwan, and is just about to head off to Paris, where the show started, to do it for another short run. I'm a big fan!
@@sallyjonesie3886 Wow. She is wonderful in that show. I saw it four times when it was here in NYC. She is both charming and a beautiful dancer, and her feet! PERFECTION!
It's not for nothing as they want it to be perfect for the opening of the run - that's how accurate professional ballet is. Also bear in mind this was right at the start of their rehearsal process - it was new to them so they need the teacher's help.
Must be the most special thing for Mayara, dance at the Royal the same variation that made her the winner of de Prix de Lausanne, the variation that brought her to the Royal Ballet.

She’s gorgeous.
I love Leanne Benjamin as a coach! She's had an amazing career as well! Her Coppelia is on DVD, I think I bought 2 copies!
I have a poster of her on my wall. It's a staple piece!
thank YOU SO MUCH for this!!!!
that's why Royal Ballet is my favourite company of ALL!!
thank you so much for sharing your magnificent art with us 🥰👏🏻
She is head and shoulders the best of the presenters I have seen in this series. Give her a full time job!
Cesar Corrales, God bless you , so we can continue to enjoy your talent .
These two are perfect together.
Lovely to see Leanne Benjamin. Always remember her teacher Valeria Hansen and Leanne’s sister Madonna and Karen Donovan. Such talents all of them!
So many lovely things about this... the tradition of Leanne now passing the choreography to a new generation, Mayara Magri's beautiful dancing and amazing talent... the Royal Ballet is in a great place!
Dooblydoo it’s not Leanne who’s doing the coaching.
The coach leanne Benjamin. Leanne Cope is the host 😊

It's nice to see Robert actually smile. He should do it more often!
What a terrific ballerina!

Mayara é um grande exemplo para todas bailarinas brasileiras. De uma variação do Prix para Coppélia na Royal !
Love Mayara:-)
eu imaginei que ela fosse brasileira pelo sotaque, só depois que fui descobrir que era mesmo
Leanne Benjamin...what a perfect repetiteur for this, and anything really. She is so precise and knowledgeable about what it should look like. Btw she is in incredible shape!!! Does anyone know if she still performs? She should!
Wow all around, the incredible dancers, the fabulous coach and marvelous pianist! The ROH is truly blessed. 👏👏👏❤️
Mayara and Cesar are magical dancers. Saw them in 'Coppelia.' It was terrific!!
Lucky you!

Would LOVE to see Leanne Benjamin as the new director of The Australian Ballet. Leanne would knock that company back into shape!
Gosh! Cesare has grown into a man since the Prix de Lausanne! Such a talent!

Coppelia's my favourite ballet! I also love Leanne Cope - she makes a great host.
Leanne is an excellent coach both for males and females
I am not a dancer and have basically no knowledge of dance - Mayara is the first dancer whom I have desired to see perform in person. WOW!
Mayara Magri representando o Brasil 🇧🇷❤️❤️❤️
I love how strong and healthy Mayara looks. She clearly doesn't just drink fruit smoothies and eat fruit bowls all day.

I'm not even halfway yet but both Cesar (his jumps and leaps!!!!) and Mayara dance beautifully!! ugh
Leanne Benjamin is a great teacher, master class.
I am in love with the royal ballet
I want to go there but I’m 9

Nossa Mayara Magri . Quanto nos orgulha com seu talento !!!
I LOVE the music in this ballet

Mayara is perfect.

Aw I just missed it
Both women are named Leanne - what are the chances! Lol
