ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
Marius Petipa created Raymonda when he was in his eightieth year, and it was one of his latest grand ballets. Its simple story, based on a medieval chivalrous legend, brought together everything that was the best of the best that Petipa had done in the course of his long career as a choreographer in Russia. Here there is a ballet and detective plot including dreams, kidnappings and joyous releases, a complex and varied ballerina role and a conflict between the male roles - the refined and classical Jean de Brienne and the passionate and pointedly typical oriental Abderakhman, the vast number of characters, meaning a similar number of dancers engaged in the ballet, the colourful character dances and, arguably, Petipa's main pride and glory - the fully-developed dance scenes of classical ensembles.
The composer, on the other hand, began his ballet career with Raymonda. The production was staged when Alexander Glazunov was in his thirty-third year. In this work the composer, new to the ballet genre, so ardently used his experience as a symphonist and maestro of vivid and colourful orchestral music that his subsequent dance works (The Trial of Damis and The Seasons) never cast a shadow over the glory of Raymonda, and it is this ballet that remains in history as perhaps Glazunov's most famous work.
Its conflict is based on the contrast of two different worlds: the serene and knightly noble idyll of Raymonda's medieval castle meets the Barbarian world of ungovernable passions embodied by Abderakhman and his suite. The choreographer resolved the musical contrast by juxtaposing the expressive nature of Abderakhman's gestures, the temperamental character dances of his suite and the classical dance of Raymonda's world. The role of Raymonda is one of the most demanding in the classical ballet repertoire. In this masterpiece by Marius Petipa, the ballerina performs five variations as well as incredibly beautiful adagios, the Pas d’action and the Grand pas. Alexander Glazunov did not stint in the musical richness of the female protagonist, accentuating each of her variations with different emotional colours. Choreographically, too, she reveals new sides to her character in the solo variations. In Act I Raymonda is light-heartedly youthful, in the scene The Dream her variation is songfully dreamy, in Act II she is ceremonially triumphant, and in Act III she alone is coquettish and different, performed to piano solo, meditative. Together this all creates the image of a heroine who embodies the many facets of womanhood. That's on the one hand. And, on the other, it is a role that showcases a virtuoso ballerina fully armed with universal technique and grace, beauty of line and absolute skill, a ballerina the likes of whom Marius Petipa sought throughout his creative career and an anthem for whom was to be his "swan song", Raymonda.

How do you feel about the music of Alexander Glazunov? How does his music affect you? How many melodies written by him can you remember?
"Raymonda" is arguably Glazunov's ballet masterpiece. I know this ballet by heart and I also love his Violin Concerto in A minor, Op. 82. I like all his music/works... Glazunov's "Raymonda" ballet transposes me into the latter part of Romanticism...
A music as beautiful as that of Leon minkus (la bayadere) with a lot emotion, amazing melody. Raymonda 💖
Vilolin concerto and Raymonda, perhaps that is all offhand.
The Seasons is my favorite. His music is so intent and lilting. Makes me feel happy.
Много понимаю. У Александра Глазунова есть идея красоты мелодии.
The most beautiful ballerina!
You absolutely nailed it, Maria!!! Great job:)
Чудо как хороша
Wonderful! Congratulations, dear Maria! Bravissimo!
Your acting is marvelous! I admire u so much Мария 💕
I don't think I've ever seen a version or this variation with this choreography. It'd be interesting to Maria do the version with the clapping.
This choreohraphy is most common in Russia, Svetlana Zakharova dances this one too.
But she should clap anyway
Завораживает! Браво!!!!
Прекрасная танцующая Мария!
Thankyou for this. Well done on your success. I enjoy watching you dance and i very much appreciate all your videos . I am in Australia and when I watch your videos I feel like travel to the Marinsky!
Stunning…
Thank you, Maria!
Маша, замечательно!
Stunning
Восхитительно. Брава!
beautiful!
Hello from Germany...I really enjoyed your performance.
Can you tell how you feel during applause?
Are you reliefed? Excited? ??? While you perform, do you think only about the character? Or the steps? Or the audience? I am curious.
Hello from Hungary! ❤️
Am I the only person who's slightly uncomfortable with the fact that she doesn't actually clap her hands but her movements suggest that she does? or is the sound lost in the audio? (no offense, I just consider the clapping as a special and characteristic element of raymonda variation )
In Russian theatres they don't clap. This is the tradition.
Arrasou lindeza 🇧🇷💐
💛💛💛
¡Bravo María! Maravillosa.
かわいい
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Maria Alexandrova does it best
Un pied superbe ! Je préfère cette version à celle de Zakharova, quel jeu !
Votre bolero est tres sympa aussi))
В зал надо распылять взвесь лекарства от кашля)) Чтоб.. ни звука, когда Машенька танцует!
Beautiful….But I like when the ballerina really slaps her hands together…to me she is saying she’s strong! I’d put a bit of sass behind that clap! Lol….A big slap and my hands on my hips! lol….can you tell I can be a sassy gal? lol…..I’m not criticizing this woman. She’s the best of the best. I’m saying that slapping my hands and hands on hips would be my variation…🤣♥️♥️👏🏼👏🏼
