You can get the feel for what it must have been like at Versailles quite easily, I love the almost earie audience in the background which look like a Antione Watteau painting but alive! great Ihope you can put more of these on to watch.
Really beautiful!. An extraordinaire choreography for a superb adaptation (William Christie and Les Arts Florissants). Concerning Ana Yepes is daughter of the famous spanish guitarist Narciso Yepes who focused a great part of his art in the baroque and renaissance music.
howevr, if this is a history of dance . in that time period i wonder howcome they used women costumed in this role of male .. as there are so many men who can dance this role .?. it is lovely and very beautiful as is,, just wondering
What a great information! I have always wanted to know who they are and what they are doing now. Almost everybody who see this video think they are two teen girls. Maybe it is because the costumes they wear and their height in comparison to the others behind. Do you also know about the other dancer? It would also be great to know who she is and what she is doing now. Thank you very much for such a valuable comment.
houseofopera has it -- I just bought it. Thank you, thank you thank you. ANY MORE info on credits would be welcome -- who're the dancers? This production MUST have been MUCH discussed...
They're not costumed as young pages. More precisely, this costum is the costume of the "novices du Saint-Esprit". It was the costume of the young princes the day they were admitted in the "Ordre du Saint-Esprit" (order of the Holy Spirit), the highest order of chevalry of France. During the ceremony, they leaved the little black and silver coat you see here, to receive in return the great coat of the order (black, green, orange and silver).
It is a truth and I in spite I like Lully music and every art related to Louis XIV court I do not ignore that their pleasures were at the expenses of people misery.
They are costumed as young pages of the court. It's clear that no "real" children of that age would be capable of performing the intricacies of this dance. So Lancelot used two short women.
Why would it be considered a form of child abuse? Are the girls making sex? Such a dirty mind could only come from a person from your country where a free behavior and people without a repressed mind may be considered abusive. You are a from country of mental slaves who do not live, only exists.

One of my favorits !
the production is on again next year... YES !!!
Freaks of nature! It was funny.
From their performance they must be very healthy and if you notice they are two very beautiful young girls too.
Soberba elegência :)
The other dancer was 27-year-old Ana Yepes. You can see her work over the years on my channel.
Glorious!!
superb!!
alas and alack,
thank you ...
with no luck there.
i'll keep looking.

Try the houseofopera site.
They used to sell this opera. Perhaps they still do.
thank you for answering my bit of interest.
i am still unable to aquire this movie here in u.s.a.
Why do you not forget such problems for a while and enjoy the music and performance?
That is why it was made for.
What a great information!

@MarydoBruno did you say the production of Atys, William Christie, was scheduled for a revival?
oh my god !! where did you get it ?
Atys is my favourite of Lully of all times....
to me these costumes (oringinally for men)look so much more beautiful in women.
They are costumed as young pages of the court. It's clear that no "real" children of that age would be capable of performing the intricacies of this dance. So Lancelot used two short women.
They are two teens girls dancing in the role of Zephirs, a greek mythology divinities.
Yes, life was full of joy and to be celebrated by Louis, wasn't it?
Of course, if you were not part of the nobility... uh...LIFE SUCKED.
most likely for a film of this grandeur
it was a current famous designer that made these shoes ..

Such a dirty mind could only come from a person from your country where a free behavior and people without a repressed mind may be considered abusive.
