Jewels in rehearsal (The Royal Ballet)

  • Join dancers of The Royal Ballet in the studio as they prepare for George Balanchine's Jewels. Find out more at www.roh.org.uk/jewels
    TV and radio broadcaster Kirsten O’Brien will host the event, which will feature interviews and rehearsals with Artists of The Royal Ballet, ballet repetiteur Elyse Borne, and the American choreographer and director Patricia Neary. Neary, a former dancer with New York City Ballet, works for The George Balanchine Trust and alongside Borne is responsible for staging his works around the world.
    Balanchine made history when he created Jewels - the first abstract three-act ballet. It was first performed in 1967 by New York City Ballet. The choreographer was reportedly inspired by the beauty of the precious stones he saw in Van Cleef & Arpels in New York.
    Principals of The Royal Ballet Sarah Lamb and Steven McRae will rehearse a section of Act I, ‘Rubies’. Then, fellow Principals Marianela Nuñez and Thiago Soares will rehearse ‘Diamonds’.
    Each section, featuring the music of Gabriel Fauré, Igor Stravinsky and Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky, salutes a different era in classical ballet’s history as well as a distinct period in Balanchine’s own life. Through it all, Balanchine displays his genius for combining music with visionary choreography.
    The insight also features an in-depth look at the ballet’s ornate costumes with costume supervisor Allan Watkins.

    Sarah is exquisite! As Pat Neary said at the beginning of the rehearsal, this was a first run-through with little prep before hand. Steven McRae and Sarah together are just beautiful. Can't wait to see the airing. It was a treat, as well, hearing Sarah's wit and intellect shine so brilliantly.

      There's a really good documentary about Suzanne Farrell, which you might watch: 'Suzanne Farrell: Elusive Muse'. It tells the story of Balanchine's obsession with her. Or read her memoir. She was the most important ballerina of the NYC Ballet, and Balanchine's obsession with her caused lots of problems for other gifted dancers.
      But that wasn't Suzanne's fault.

    Wow! What a treat to see this. I am a huge fan of the studio and the rehearsals. I seem to "see" into the core of the dancers, the choreography and the music in some greater way. The relaxed intimacy of the venue would seem to provide something extra special. Kind of like those old grainy black and white Avedon or David Bailey photographs from the 70's that would allow the observer some unforseen access beyond what "color" could ever afford. And everyone here was a delight. Loving The Royal all the way from California ! Cheers !

    Marianela dances so beautifully here. For the actual performance posted on RUclips there was some criticism (including from me) that her style was wrong, too slow, too static. I think it must have been the fault of the conductor making the tempo too slow, because here she is ravishing and keeps everything in motion, just as it should be. I am so happy to see this, because I love her. (Who doesn't?)

    I wish they would express that when going through fifth the hands always crossed each other. That would give a more Balanchine aesthetic. I do get what she is saying about the walk in the beginning. something arm wise is missing and upper body to . There are some clips of Sara Mearns in Diamonds and her walk is just stunning and so Balanchine. ( Backstage with Sara Mearns at the end shows the drama of diamonds) I can't believe i'm actually critiquing Marianela Nunez. Her and Sarah are off the charts amazing!! I've just seen too many clips of this ballet by NYCB.

    • @islandhorsetaker
      @islandhorsetaker 7 лет назад +9

      Neely Crombie I actually like the fact that it looks like the Royal Ballet doing Balanchine. Yes, it's not exactly the "style" Balanchine loved but it's beautiful in it's own way. I too prefer the NYCB when it comes to Balanchine but RB does an amazing job too and I think it's nice that they do Balanchine with their own style, just a different way to interpret his choreography.

    • @neelycrombie1263
      @neelycrombie1263 7 лет назад +1

      Why Thank you.. and the fact this will be aired in the movie theaters .. Kinda misrepresents the signature aesthetic of it all. I wish the repetiteurs would have them add a few Balanchine stylistic things. Like crossing the arms in front of the face when going through to fifth and opening the fingers with stronger hands. Diamonds is romantic but very strong and dramatic. This version is too soft... and its interesting.. I always thought Marianela Nunez to be a very dramatic dancer.. but i guess they were all character rolls Ive seen her in.
