@@mrlopez-pz7pu From Marius Petipa Society: " After her successful début with the Imperial Ballet in 1885, Zucchi signed her second contract in January 1886, which gave her twenty-four performances for four months. It was announced that Esmeralda was one of two ballets that was to be revived for her (the other was Excelsior). New decors and costumes were crafted, Petipa revised the choreography, Riccardo Drigo was commissioned to revise and refurbish Pugni’s old score and the ballet was expanded from three acts to four acts. Among Petipa and Drigo’s new changes were the additions of a new pas de six for Zucchi and Drigo’s revival of Pugni’s original Grand Pas des fleurs performed by Fleur-de-Lys and Phoebus in the third act. Drigo revised the Grand Pas des fleurs into a Grand Pas Classique, for which he composed some new musical additions."
Conductor/Orchestra? 🙂
Music by Riccardo Drigo
That's right and so is Diana and Acteon and Esmeralda's variation. But the music of this Pas is the most beautiful
@@BytomGirl Pugni composed all of the Diane et acteon pas de deux except for the female solo, which is by Drigo.
