The original 1831 choreography by Filippo Taglioni exists, as Bourneville wrote it down in 1841. The 'Ballet of the Nuns' is the direct source of 'La Sylphide' and 'Giselle'; its choreography is just like 'La Sylphide', unsurprisingly, since Filippo Taglioni did both concurrently. Modern productions of 'Robert' have been ugly travesties. Just why there hasn't been an inspired reconstruction is incomprehensible (see: Ann Hutchinson Guest and Knud Arne Jürgensen, 'Robert le Diable': The Ballet of the Nuns",1997).
I would love to see Bournonville's version! I wish the ballet masters at the Royal Theatre would reconstruct it. And I agree about modern productions. Have you seen the Royal Opera House's new Faust? Its Walpurgis Night Ballet from act 5 is Eurotrash at its finest.
e mi piacerebbe ballare con un diavolo del genere in una discoteca. Una volta sono andato in Tasmania e ho vissuto lì per sei mesi intorno al 2015. e ora pensavo a quello che non avevo fatto, 15 milioni di persone sono morte e due lune nel cielo.
So happy to see a proper Ballet of the Nuns here. Also the piano arrangement is so beautiful.
