Matthew Bourne's Sleeping Beauty - A Gothic Romance
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- The story of Sleeping Beauty where upon Aurora sleeps for one hundred years and awakens in the modern world.
Choreographer Matthew Bourne's haunting scenario is a gothic tale for all ages. The traditional story of good vs evil and rebirth is turned upside down, creating a supernatural love story across decades that even the passage of time itself cannot hinder. Perrault's timeless fairy tale about a young girl cursed to sleep for one century has been turned into a supernatural tale of vampires, fairies and decadent gothic opulence. Yet in the end, young love finally triumphs over all as Aurora is rescued by her one true prince.
Bourne’s imagination thrives where others fail, and his reinventions - a puppet Aurora, battling suitors, and homages to Petipa - transform fairytale into spellbinding drama and ballet.

Stunningly innovative choreography! Tchaikovsky's score is magnificently well played! Ingenious blocking, timing and tempo. It's actually exhilarating to watch. Kudos to Matthew Bourne!
I watched this live last night and I have woken up today with some sort of enchantment surrounding me like an ethereal sparkly mist.. I will never be over the fairies' solos for baby aurora against the backdrop of a full moon... Magical is an understatement
Absolutely incredible! As an ex ballet dancer, I was worried about this new take on Petipa’s well loved timeless masterpiece but as usual Mr. Bourne has turned it into something exciting and truly exceptional.
Thanks to whoever has uploaded it here.
You have made my day!
I always remembered how amazed I felt when I watched this performance live in 2015. It’s such a beautiful show that I want to watch it again. Thanks for uploading this video.
This is my favorite show of all time! I have always had some issues with the classical sleeping beauty version. The story is moving too slowly, there is no real love story and sometimes the music felt too dark for what was happening on stage, for example the opening scene, Aurora's first variation and the polonaise in the last act. If you listen to some of this music without context, it really sounds gothic. Matthew Bourne has fixed all of this by introducing vampires and Carabosses son into the show, and now the story matches the music perfectly! The dance style I love the most is in between ballet and modern, and when I saw this as a twelve year old, something fell into place. This lyrical dance style here is absolutely my type of dancing, it tells a story with each step. There is no need for point shoes or ballet pantomime. Bravo to the cast they are amazing!
I’m going to see this in April, can’t wait to see it live now that I’ve watched it here.
@@heathermurgatroyd9164 That is so great! Have fun!!
@@heathermurgatroyd9164 Hi Heather. My wife, teenage granddaughter and myself saw it in Nottingham last week. It was terrific - we all absolutely loved it!
"...The dance style I love the most is in between ballet and modern..." That's how contemporary ballet is usually described, as a blend of ballet and modern. The torso & arms are often more like ballet - even when doing floor work - whereas the leg movements typically more align with the movements you'll find in modern dance. Random fact: Ballet originated as a form of sacred dance performed by Jesuit monks. It became a secular activity meant to be put on for entertainment due to France's kings bringing it to court.
Edit: turned contemporary dance/ballet into just contemporary ballet
@@crackle6875 Thanks for the explanation! That's interesting I thought this dance style was called lyrical. Is there a difference? As a dancer I learned much about ballet and modern dance but not much about anything in between those styles. By the way I'm from the netherlands and I'm going to see the show tomorrow live in Amsterdam!! So excited!!!
The highlights~

1:41:48 aaaand another puppet that'll haunt my dreams
Omg I love this! For most of these I knew exactly which part you were talking about even without clicking on the time stamp🤣🤣
I love this 😂😂😂 So accurate
this is scarily accurate 😭
Funny
also is that the same puppet 🥲 as the beginning?
I'm simply in awe with the pas de deux of the Rose Adage. It's simultaneously balletic and cinematic!... Bravooo! Gourgeous production!...
I went to see it in Norwich this afternoon.
My first ballet at 64. While I know it's not traditional ballet, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The production was 1st class. The dancing very good. Lighting and choreography, just everything marvelous.
The baby bids fair to become the star of the show . . . a QUITE remarkable piece of work!
You just made me extremely happy. Saw this show for the first time on PBS years ago and fell instantly in love. So wonderful to see it again after so long.
I really did not expect to like this but was curious. I fell in love with Hannah Vassallo (Aurora) the minute she walked onstage and gradually got drawn in. I could have lived without the violent apotheosis, which hints at an extremely complex backstory between Carabosse's family and "Count Lilac"'s, and without the wholesale slaughter of Tchaikovsky's score, but the production is gorgeous and Bourne really cashes in on themes of sacred (or romantic) vs profane/possessive love. Aurora's first dance with Caradoc is combative and spiky, almost abusive, while her dance with "Leo" (whom Caradoc frames for Aurora's keeling over), danced to the Rose Adagio , moves organically and fluidly through the music. Truly effective was the scene (slight spoiler) where Caradoc is kissing the recumbent Aurora, trying to will true love's kiss into existence, then lets Leo kiss her only to have his goon squad drag him off once she awakens. ("See, *I* am your true love!"). I'll never prefer it to Petipa, but the company looks great, and it's a more fully realized plot than those of some of his other full-lengths. Thanks for posting!
BeUty ballet llove it
😊
Her dance with Caradoc, is a seduction dance that she's not ready to comprehend.
She has appeal but she doesn't know it and is attracted but frightened at the same time. He's all about the seduction and she's bewildered. I love it. They both act brilliantly.
Bourne certainly transforms the 4th act from a stilted ceremony into a narratively exciting experience. Not entirely sure about the details...why exactly Carabose's minion turns on him, etc. But the overall effect definitely morphs formal ritual into actual theater. I still prefer Bourne's Swan Lake, but this one is definitely worth a watch. And such incandescent dancing talent!
Cette chorégraphie ( pas de deux ) me parle 1000 fois plus que la chorégraphie classique .....c'est superbe .......MERCI
I can"t stop waching this. I think this is the best one of his shows.
Agreed! Much better than his "Nutcracker" and
"Swan lake".
@@pnl4660 особенно "Щелкунчик", хотя некоторые интермедии выглядят очень странно.
That energetic and naughty baby is wonderful.
awww the baby was adorable
There are only a few words left for such a splendid performance: a fantastic staging, a more than interesting dramaturgy, especially the fight against evil, a brilliant theatrical dance performance with this effective choreography. Für eine solche herrliche Aufführung bleiben einem nur wenige Worte: eine phantastische Inszenierung, eine mehr als interessante Dramaturgie, insbesondere der Kampf gegen das Böse, eine glanzvolle Theatertanzleistung bei dieser wirkungsvollen Choreographie.
Fabulous! Just stunning performance! It’s not for traditional ballet enthusiasts or those who are too “simple” to understand the relevant, deeper implications of the story line. This is not just a ballet. It is a display the ageless battle between the forces of good vs evil in a most contemporary context, in my opinion. Love the contemporary choreography to this classic ballet. Natural, funny, charming and believable. Bravo! This production will appeal to a broader audience, I believe…
How pompous
Thankyou for explaining it to the “simpleminded”.
Fortunately, for many of us traditional Ballet lovers, we don't have your narrow minded attitude! Lol.
This creation by Matthew Bourne is lovely and amazing, as is Petipa's classical choreography.
After all, both inspired by the absolutely beautiful music created by Tchaikovsky!!
LOL 😊
Well put!
His transformation of the iconic Rose Adagio into a rapturous pas de deux is very effective,right up totheend, where it shifts into a melodramatic plot point.
I am fan of traditional ballet but this a diferent and absolutely stunning version of the Tchaikovsky ballet with a gorgeous perfomance.. so I can say I love it ♥🌚👏👏👏
Great to see open mindedness. I felt the same.
Thank you so much for posting this, I have been dying to see this production ever since I saw some clips. I enjoyed this version and love to see new takes on older classic ballets.
Magical and inspired -- Sir Matthew Bourne is truly a genius !!!LOVE all his productions -- could watch over and over again !!!
just watched this show live, the dancing was absolutely stunning!!
An amazing production . . . the concept, the execution, the dancers - especially the dancers. Matthew Bourne is a genius! Bravo!
Matthew Bourne you are a genius, respect from Croatia
wow, this is the kind of choreography that will attract more people into watching ballet. Spectacular!!
It's not ballet, it's modern dance.
this is not ballet, this is lyrical dance
Gorgeous and amazing❤ Their dancing and acting expresses Tchaikovsky's beautiful music and the story just so powerfully.
This company is small, so each dancer had a phenomenal amount of dancing and acting. Particularly Aurora, Leo her true love and the lilac fairy/ Count Lilac all were amazing performer's and lived and breathed their characters, absolutely magical.
Loved this ❤ from a ballet dancer 😊
What an opening scene, my goodness. Love the puppet, extraordinary. Its all very lovely but this is lyrical dance, not ballet therefore they cannot be compared. This is on a different level, lyrical and folk dance, totally different interpretation. And yes die hard ballet fans will probably cry because Tchaikovsky's music begs for the dance to soar with it to the same level!!!
Lovely! We could do with a few Matthew Bournes in opera rethinks, too. And well served by the conductor here: excellent!
the puppeteering of the baby is crazy!! my brain could not comprehend that they hadn't somehow trained a real baby wowow this whole production is blowing my mind
Но с первого же момента ясно, что это кукла - и мастерство кукольщика, а не никакого ни живого ребенка
Oh wow so beautiful. Astonishing story telling, Thanks heaps for posting
I really enjoyed it. Great ballet, really interesting variation. Touches of Bob Fosse, too!
Matthew Bourne is a genius. This is yet another beautiful, captivating creation.
Notice these parallels between 22:25 and 53:57, 5:51 and 30:44, 29:48 and 1:19:45
Also the fact she really shead a tear at 1:37:53 shows how emotional this was for Hannah Vassallo. Just amazing!
Me gustó mucho. Espectacular los bailarines y Aurora y Leo bailaron estupendamente. Muchas felicidades. Gracias desde México saludos 👋👋🥰🥰
What can i say just fabulous.another triumph.thank you.
Delightfully vamp! Love this version.
WOW! Look at the lilac fairy variation here. Unexpected, not like anything I’ve seen before!
The abduction scene is quite splendid in its Gothicness . . . but it also nods in the direction of monsters of Greek mythology. Costuming and make-up are brilliant.
めっちゃよかった‼️
有り難う❣️
笑わせて、ハラハラさせて、感動させて、技術も最高❣️
チャイコフスキーも、ちょっとびっくりしてるかも。
でも、喜んでるよね、きっと。
「こんな振り付けもあったのか🤭」って。
thank you!!! from JAPAN!!!
日本公演を2016年のBUNKAMURAで観ました！！動画でまた観られて嬉しいです！！！
i came here because i heard about vampires in sleeping beauty for some reasons and- well i'm not dissapointed :)
*Am I the only one who is deeply attracted to Caradoc, the evil Fairy?*
Just been to see their last performance at Woking in Surrey. First ballet I’ve been to and I totally loved it - wish I’d dragged my daughter along
love it, took time to understand. wish it would come to australia. i guess i will have to make do with the dvd.
I'm not sure I fully understand the story even after overnight reflection! I think it looses its way a little in the third act; I was out of breath after the first act, and wishing for some change of pace or quietness but these are minor quibbles. But, the dancing is spectacular, especially Christopher Marney as Count Lilac. Vassalo and Trenfield are great as Aurora and Leo. Importantly, Bourne shows that a 21st century, three-act narrative ballet is possible. Now all you need is David Hallberg to invite Matthew Bourne to stage it for the Australian Ballet!
No expert, but I am a huge fan of Ballet and contemporary dance. It's nice to see dancers with good and normal body types. I stopped seeing many shows at Sadlers, because watching the dancers made me feel like I was either Phat or needed to be bulimic. Eating disorders in the dance industry, especially ballet, is still prevalent.
I wanted to see this, thanks for uploading it.
Thanx for giving this us dance fans.

Could somebody who has danced in ballet answer this for me? Is it actually more painful for the dancers to dance barefoot as they have done here? If so, then I am even more in awe.
Thanks for raising the question! I was curious, not so much about the relative level of pain, but about the barefootedness itself . . . it was especially noticeable in "Swan Lake". Bourne certainly had his reason, but I wonder what it was . . . not that he'll ever see this and give our itch of curiosity a scratch!
This is amazing
Amazing! Wonderful!
I saw it live it was stunning and magic
Matthew Bourne is a genius........
Only watched the fairy variations, but it’s a really strange choice to have the dancers in black against a dark backdrop. You can’t see any of their leg or foot movement.
Isn’t that the idea ? They are flying
@@mariannesmith5379 yes, but the legs and feet movement of the dancers is quite interesting important and attracting part of the Ballet's language.
I really liked this ballet. The choreography, scenery, costumes and make-up. They are very good dancers - although Hannah Vassallo is clearly not 18 years old - but no problem, I loved them. What I hated / unfortunately occurs in many ballet film adaptations / is the horrible camera treatment. This choreography was also made for the stage. The film director also wants to appear, so he forces himself into the product. Too many close-ups - it's as if only Monalisa's right ear and nose are exposed - clumsy cuts. I hate it when I see in an opera broadcast which of the singer's teeth is filled. But I really liked the ballet production . I like it , when they work seriously on a piece of art , BUT don't take themselves too seriously.
When and where was this production recorded? Thank you.
Superb 👧
BRAVISSIMO
This was extremely great!
God Adam is gorgeous
I love this! The cast is so skilled! Costumes are outstanding! Just one thing…an all Caucasian cast?
not when I saw it last week. I guess it was just this cast.
What! Get a grip, what a pathetic attitude!
Великолепно!
I want to know whoever’s idea it was to put those tiny wings on the main guy in the second part
❤❤❤
Music: 5 stars. Choreography: 3 stars. Wings: Hated them.

I really did enjoy the first part, however the sudden turn of omg we're vampires too because "edgy" and over the top on drama really put me off don't even get me started on the added sounds.
I thought the gardener boy would die,from being deemed guilty of the sleep of the princess or having to wait forever and his love reincarnating over and over,but no it looks like a fanfic made by a 15yro after watching twilight the way it derails and doesn't care to explain makes it confusing at the very least and sloppy at the most,and the dream sequence which was the part I was most excited to see had not much "dream" to it, really? After making everything so dark one would expect a contrast and a Dahli kind of dream sequence
Still thank you for sharing it culture should be available for everyone to enjoy and experience even if some like me didn't love it
I know I’m 2 years late to your comment, but I want to point out that if you research tylwyth teg and other fey, it’s really on point for their lore. It just might seem jarring to someone who isn’t familiar with how they can be. But this was normal actually. 😂
Horrible!
I didn’t get it. I don’t get it. Now I understand why millions upon millions of straight guys are bored rigid at the ballet.
ugh breeders are the worst.
Yeah, not your standard Sleeping Beauty ballet performance. Matthew Bourne is avant garde, and if this was the first ballet you've seen, it would be pretty confusing. (not to mention weird) Please watch another, more standard performance of a ballet. It really is a beautiful art form, worth your viewing!
Sorry, are you saying you're not following the plot or you don't understand why he revised everything?
@@emlynn1004 Again, using a carved up ballet score, but this is modern dance, not ballet.
Except this is not ballet. They just used the music score.
👹🤬👿🤢
Horrible. Chaikovskiy would be turned in his coffin if he saw this
I agree. A disgrace to Tchaikovsky.
Are you joking? It’s a great modern adaptation
@@DollCreate99 Its lyrical dance and under that label its pretty good. There is no turnout, no point work , barely any pointed feet and no ballet elements, all lyrical
Who's Chaikovskiy?
He certainly would question why you cannot even spell his name! Jeez, the irony 🤣
