Why The Royal Ballet love performing La Bayadère

- Natalia Makarova's production of this 19th-century classic ballet brings an exotic world of temple dancers and noble warriors to life. The Royal Ballet discuss their experience of rehearsing and performing in La Bayadère.
An iconic 19th-century Russian ballet, La Bayadère was originally performed at the Bolshoi Theatre in St Petersburg in 1877, and was regularly performed within the former Soviet Union throughout the 20th century. It remained unknown in the West until the Kirov Ballet toured with the Kingdom of the Shades scene in 1961. Natalia Makarova saw La Bayadère as a child in Leningrad and created this production in 1980. It was first performed by The Royal Ballet in 1989.
The ballet contains roles of very different styles for two ballerinas in Nikiya and Gamzatti, a spectacular virtuoso solo for the Bronze Idol, and stunning pas de deux for Solor with both Nikiya and Gamzatti.

Marianela, Natalia and Vadim, what a powerful trio! Amazing way to honor Makarova's legacy.
I've been also impressed to see them working together as an amazing trio last month's performance in ROH. It was great
I think I'm eventually going to have to move to England so that I never have to miss a Royal Ballet performance 🤷🏾♀️
Honestly same
You will have to earn a lot of money !!!
even tho I study in London, I can't manage to go very often with good seat. ROH is rich for a reason (but quite reasonable for good art haha
Definitely! :) Or at least live in a country where some performances are streamed. I am working on doing this in my new homeland, of Aotearoa (New Zealand).
It isn’t expensive. I had a really good standing vote for £14.
"If you love classical ballet, this is it" - Marianela Nunez-
This is pure gold.
I just wanted to say that I love the fact that Natalia (Osipova) shared her perspective on (the character) Gamzati, in her mother tongue. I don't know, but as someone learning another language in my new homeland, I imagine that it might otherwise be more difficult to capture what was in her heart about the role, (I mean, conversely, maybe her English is better than mine, I don't know..lol). Ballet is often seen as an elitist art form (til now, that's been fair criticism) - so I love to see the diversity in the RB dancer's backgrounds, language and culture being honoured.
Vadim is such an amazing dancer, so elegant and yet so strong at the same time. How high he jumps there??!!.
I find him fitting perfectly with Marianela. Everything looks so perfect...and I missed it unfortunately. I will be very angry if this production doesn’t become a dvd.

Brilliant - breathtaking - buy it!
The ballet is the best! Drama, charatcers, music - brilliant music, and storyline. It has it all.

Beautiful and Mesmerizing!!💝I am so amazed by Vadim and Natalia they're perfection in that PDD I love La Bayadere and the Royal Opera House truly brought it to life from the music to costumes and dancers Bravo!!💗💕
I always get chills when I watch a ballet perfomance, specially when they dance with their hearts ❤
Please give us the full length broadcast with Nunez/Osipova/Muntagirov. It seems to have been taken off RUclips.
The broadcast was just stunning.
Makarova, Makarova, Makarova. I could never get enough of her when she was prima ballerina, and I hang on to her every word now, as she coaches these marvelous star ballet dancers, and passes on to them, her invaluable ballet wisdom. I love it!
Love the costumes!
Celebro a Marianela ! està en su mejor momento de esplendor, magnìfica!
I love marianela😍
Oltre al fatto che la trama, i costumi, la coreografia sono magnifici ci si aggiunge il vostro cast meraviglioso (adoro Nunez, Muntagirov, Makarova e specialmente Natalia Osipova). La Makarova adesso non più più ballare ma il fatto che si dedichi a trasmettere la sua esperienza ai giovani è meraviglioso! Poi vedere anche i protagonisti che parlano dei loro ruoli è bellissimo!
Natalia mi ha fatto anche riflettere sul personaggio di Gamzatti
Gorgeous!
VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!! INCREDIBLE WORK!! COMMITMENT!! ARTISTS SUPREMO!! BLESSINGS EVERYONE!!!
marianela is perfect!
ICONIC 😤 👏
LOVE this😊😊😘👍👍👍
MAKAROVA IS A BEAUTY
So Natalia has done two of the most important roles in this Opera and she did them absolutely amazing. Wow, a real Gamzatti and Nikiya.
Both her and marianela did, they switched roles during the season
Love it
Amazing
Wow.

Perhaps you could buy the DVD and support the ROH and the artists in these difficult times?

this was the one performance I personally really wanted to see with my family for my birthday, but it is all sold out :( oh well, some day hopefully, I will.
Moomin I am sorry, but what do you mean?
Mansi,La Bayadere was shown live in cinemas around the world on 13 November.Check on The Royal Opera House website..roh.org and see the live screenings section.The Nutcracker will be streamed live in December.Where do you live ?
william woolhouse oohhh, that's great! I wasn't aware, so I didn't go to the cinema then. I live in the UK itself, but the word didn't reach my house I guess😅 and I thought it meant a few cinemas in London only. Thanks for informing me though :D
@@mmx123 Type in your location here, some cinemas are showing repeats: www.roh.org.uk/showings/la-bayadere-live-2018

My 3 favs all In one ballet. Can ROH please post the full ballet in RUclips, like the did with Anastasia?
El Ha
Anastasia was screened by the ROH as part of their “Our house to your house” programme for the lock-down.
Next Friday 12th June it’s La Fille Mal Gardee”.
Ballet is alternating weeks with Opera - we have the best of both worlds
Perhaps you could purchase the DVD and help support the ROH and the artists in these difficult times?
@@ntricker I would if I could 😔 but I'm a broke teen from Canada lol
will this be released on DVD?
I have heard that it will be. But it's not official.
ntricker
It’s been available since just before Christmas.
I got mine from Amazin
Gentile Marianela Nunez: Grazie . Da Milano. Renzo Compiani
Русские балерины на английской сцене! 😍🌹
나머지는 마음에 있다... 자기신용을 만들어 놓고 거기에다가 시작이 반.
Am I the only one that thinks that the boy who plays the prince looks like Garrett from studio c?
Just me?
Ok...
Русский балет во всем, ещё Такаду сейчас введут
I can hear my college classmates crying about how 'problematic' this ballet is. You can't just choose a locale as a setting for a stylized story anymore, because doing that is 'imperialistic' and 'cultural appropriation'
oh be quiet. ITs a work of art for chrissake.
Get A Bloody life, you sad pathetic creature.
do they know fiction?
Tell your classmates to give it a rest. The world of La Bayadere never existed, except in the fanciful imaginations of 19th century romantic artists and writers. La Bayadere isn’t about cultural appropriation. It’s about bringing to the stage, what white Europeans merely imagined nineteenth century, Raj India to be like. During the Romantic era, very, very few white Europeans had ever even been to India. None of La Bayader was ever intended to be a realistic depiction of anything, just the theatrical renderings of whatever fanciful, artsy nineteenth century European white people might imagine. That’s all.
Макарова столько времени на Западе, и такой плохой английский..
Not sure how i feel about white ballerinas playing Indian characters...anyone else have any thoughts?
And who they can play then? They are Russians, should they play only Russian characters then?
No I mean, do they not have POC in the Russian ballet? Can they not let POC do the stories that are about POC?
I'm genuinely curious because there is so much discrimination in the dance world as is, and I thought I remembered hearing thag Russia wa sespecially bad but I'm not sure
@@mikaylahealey8045 Russia's idea of race is very different from that of the Anglosphere. They don't have the same racial categorization and tend to think in terms of ethnicities instead. An ethnic Russian is different from both Indians and the French. Why can they play French characters, but not Indian ones? Because Indians look different or have a different culture? But so do the French.
See, Eastern Europe has a different history and social dynamics from ex-colonial societies. We see that different people have a different skin colour, but we don't really understand why it makes them a different race.
As an Indian ballet student, I've spent a while thinking about this. I think that at the end of the day, it's really just people playing characters in a ballet that happens to be set in India. Sure it would be great to see POC cast, but I think the story comes first in this ballet, and the race isn't as important as the dancing
I agree. It’s a story made up by Petipa and minkus, based on orientalism. It’s got no basis in history or actual south Asian culture; only what two Europeans “assumed” India would be like and strung a bunch of stereotypes together. Even the characters’ names are a joke.
The Royal Ballet needs to drop this Makarova production (and so does everyone else who has it). Ironically, it is more dated and ethnographically inaccurate regarding costumes and décor than Marius Petipa's original productions of 1877 and especially his last revival of 1900. The Makarova version uses John Lanchbery's redacted and heavily reorchestrated edition of Minkus's score. 🤮
