HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- Watch dancers of The Royal Ballet in extended rehearsal and hear the concluding thoughts of Christopher Wheeldon ahead of the world premiere of his new full-length ballet. The last in a three-part Insight special dedicated to exploring this new adaptation of Laura Esquivel's novel Like Water for Chocolate.
A modern Mexican classic of magic realism provides the basis for The Royal Ballet’s new full-length work, reuniting Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon with the creative team who transformed Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and The Winter’s Tale into dance, composer Joby Talbot and designer Bob Crowley.

This ballet looks fresh, new, exciting, and energetic. That guy in the turquoise shirt is really into this, he’s got a flair for this choreography.
The guy in turquoise is Calvin Richardson
@@georgias9153 Thank you, after watching this I researched his other performances. He’s got star quality. He dances with fire, like he hasn’t been “trained”. His movements seem to come natural.
@@shviewjames126 Yes, he's very interesting. I think Joseph Sissens (with corn rows) has the same kind of 'beyond technical' quality. I always love seeing them together.
It makes me feel so proud, as a Mexican, to see a Latin American novel, a Mexican novel 💚🤍❤️(!!!), being transformed into a ballet by one of the most important companies in the world. I hope one day I will be lucky enough to see it in the royal opera house ❤️

Great rehearsal video! Fantastic dancers and ingenious choreographer! Bravo!
Ed Watson's advice is so hit on. He knows how to make things work and any bit of ego is involved. So wonderful.
Ed is a dream repetier! You can tell he fully understands and is even like almost a Jedi mind trick of being in Chris’s mind, and can assist in what he needs and how to fully convey it to the dancers.
are you kidding?? One of my favorite love stories ever turned into ballet 💕
Exceptional partnering. The technique is wonderful, of course, but the care each dancer puts into the movements is what drives each section. I can't stop watching 27:17 - 27:44
Francesca is flying like a bird, literally. She's so fluid. 👌
I adore Frankie she is a gorgeous dancer and person- but I’ve been waiting for Akane Takada to feature in an insights video again for years!! Akane is one of the most underrated ballerinas ever and her rehearsal of La Bayadere got me addicted to these videos, so yeah, friendly request!
I can't believe there's a *Como agua para chocolate* ballet! It was one of my favorite novels when I was a teenager! The movie is quite good too.
I would love to see this in the theater. Francesca Hayward and Matthew Ball are a nice pairing. Marcelino was great to watch also. Both are interesting partners for her.
24:22 - "Do all of it like we're seeing it through slightly smoky glass." The words of an artist.
Only Marcelino can wear a shirt like that!
We saw the premiere ,it was breth taken
Wonderful dans wonderful geografie .
What a performance.
Everything everyone.
200%

Thanks.
Loved watching these insights. Such a special story! I hope to see the ballet in the future.
Wonderful choreography and gorgeous dancing ❤
Primitive choreography, all about sexual moves, boring and not new.
@@shanelka8304 it's a great portrayal of the story but hey everyone's entitled to their opinion.
@@shanelka8304 If you read the book, sexuality is quite a key part since Tita is unable to marry the love of her life - the author describes her as 'castrated'. This is an excellent homage to the book, which is, in my opinion, the first role of any art inspired by another piece of art.
@@melissatranfield4054 It is irrelevant. The ballet I find to be bad.
Thank you for the wonderful insight 😊
Thanks for pop-up names
Is Marcelino Sambé brazilian??? I felt that energy bro.
OH okay. I have searched it and he is portuguese. But yeah, he speaks portuguese. Beautiful work. Well done
No Lucas, he is portuguese. 😊
The music is extraordinary...what is this piece?
The music is newly composed for the ballet by Joby Talbot
@@georgias9153 joby is the best👏🏻
@@georgias9153
I hope there is a plan to record and release.
@@georgias9153
Thank you!
Lovely !
I can see Teo becoming soloist/principal one day
Genius
Very repetitive music. It seems good at any given moment, but... it is like listenining to the same film sound track 20 times. From the whol score, one could complile a 20 min version and the music won't lose.
Very beautiful costumes and scenes. BUT this is pantomime with elements of ballet, it is no ballet.
What? 🤦♂️
@@Javier-fv4tf This.
Utter rubbish. Have you ever studied ballet? Ballet and contemporary dance are inextricably linked.
@@melissatranfield4054 Utter rubbish you say. I am FAR more knowledgeable about ballet than you will EVER be.
@@shanelka8304 out of curiosity, what do you work as?
