Don Quixote is one of Marius Petipa's much-loved 19th-century classics - its story is drawn from Miguel de Cervantes's classic novel and set to Ludwig Minkus's score. The ballet has long been acclaimed for its virtuoso dancing, beautiful and technically demanding 'vision scene' and the famously bravura and breath-taking Act III pas de deux.

Their chemistry together is so delightful - they radiate joy and I can’t help but smile!!
Marianela’s control and technique is out of this world. And the emotion she portrays is always on point 💖
I love her smile
more like en pointe ;)
@@noahhinton2657 I love how you point(e) it out
They are just always flawless, together they are magical, a perfect pairing and a real asset to the Royal Ballet.
The dream team.
vadream team
Absolutely agree ... never saw this coming
@@marymohagheghi4875 Never saw their pairing coming?
💯
This is the ONLY version or performance I have seen, where the the couple actually dance as though they’ve just said their “I dos!” It’s like a miracle come true for me! For decades I’ve tried reminding dancers that there should be awe and love and respect in this pasdedeux, not show-off tricks, but NO ONE would try it that way. Now, I see it and for the first time in fifty years(!!!) this pasdedeux brought tears to my eyes!
Don’t know if it’s Acosta’s coaching or the choice of these two dancers, but THANK HEAVEN for this rendition!! I’ve waited decades! Thank you Marianela and Vadim!(and Carlos). God, I’m glad I lived to see this videoed performance!!
Yes! It’s like an actual conversation, with a back and forth connection. Vadim seems to have an unusual ability to *show* the connection with his partner, at least with Marianela and earlier Daria.
Couldn’t agree more. ❤
this pair is always perfect
Wonderful partnership. I love the way Vadim finishes every move so beautifully, right to his fingertips and the angle of his head. I hope they will post his solo variation that followed as it was spectacular!
And that moment at 4:57 when they just smile triumphantly at each other - they know they’ve nailed it! ❤️
Beautiful, pure art , it is so enjoyable to see, clean technique and stunning performance. Lately dancers only worry about high extensions, making a lot of pirouettes, like it's gymnastics. Is refreshing to see such an amazing chemistry and artists
Who wouldn't melt if Nela smiled at them like that?! You can tell they have a genuine affection for each other and a nearly perfect understanding of each other's physical presence.
No one at the rb has a gorgeous smile like hers. Its part of her appeal and looks so natural, a heavenly dancer and beautiful person. Shoukd be ASSOLUTA
Couldn't have asked for a better start to the day. She is my fave. I can't get enough of her. She doesn't throw her legs up by her ears, she isn't anorexic, she doesn't need to be. She is all control and artistry, a gift to all of us. Muntagirov is so wonderful too. And, yes, he has gotten better looking. 🙂
You are right...she mesmerizse us without "fireworks". She is an ARTIST with capital letters.
No need to body shame.
Anorexic ? If they are they couldn't finish a number. They train so hard and no need to
diet and they must eat balanced meal to sustain energy. Unfortunately some people
just doesn't have the shape that are not well suited to classical ballet but you see many
different body types in other dance forms.
If you're talking body shaming what about women who are too tall for ballet ?
This is the first time I’ve seen anyone begin to arch backwards at the tail end of her turns a la seconde before he comes in to take her waist into a penché. So beautiful!!
She is out of this world! She does a similar action in the Odette variation in the lame ducks en diagonale - incredible sense of centre.
So true. I caught my breath and my eyes opened wide - I had never seen that before, but if you think about it, the movement is completely in character for Kitri. There were no pyrotechnics as so often, but instead many small moments where Nunez and Muntagirov gave us the real meaning of the PDD.
For anyone wondering when that is, if I'm not mistaken it's around 2:43. Breathtaking indeed!
I did a double take, then she did it AGAIN!!
Marianela, Vadim & phenomenal orchestra... Just like a dream.
espically when the orchestra is playing 2 meters apart were the stalls normally are!!
Absolutely! The conductor is marvelous 😄
Great personalities.never overdo it look so natural.
Now, this is how you start your day, ladies and gentlemen.
🤗
Вот это танец! Настоящий! А не гимнастика под музыку.
Молодцы! Огромное спасибо! ❤️
Love love love this performance. Vadim is my favorite dancer. Exquisite technique, beautiful line, simplicity, elegance. I could watch him all day. Marianella is beautiful as always.
I have never seen two dancers more in sync. They were mezmerizing.
Please, more and more Nela. There's never enough Nela, you couldn't ever give us too much!
They do not need extreme extensions or overdone leaps to dance this pas de deux.
The subtlety of the steps, the beauty of the line and unhurried execution are stunning.
I give a standing O from my seat !
ARS GRATIA ARTIS !
BALLET 4-EVER!
One of the best ballet partnership in the world! Two superstars!
Those big smiles are just so delightful, I loved watching them
Her control throughout but especially exiting those balances is astonishing and sets her apart, in my mind, as prima ballerina and a cut above most other ballerinas. Also, to find amusement for herself in this number. Never seen it performed with that interpretation.
Such a playful interpretation and wonderful interaction with each other and the music, underscored by amazing technique.
@@Missfrankiecat I agree completely, only the dance technique gives time to invest in the image of emotions! ☝ 👍
And I will repeat this comment for you personally !
As they say, "the devil is in the little things" and these little things, then the sensitive attitude of Vadim Muntogirov to his partner! ☝
If you have a desire, then pay attention to the two episodes that I offer for viewing, this is the first one 👉 3:25-3:31 and the same, but with another partner (Carlos Acosta) where he rather hastily pulls his hand away from the partner's hand!As a result, the partner is unable to maintain balance longer! ☝ 👉 ( 5.48 )👇

@@-ked-845 Muntagirov has wonderful partnering skills. We saw it early in his career with Daria Klimentova, with whom he learnt a lot and it has carried through to all his partnerships, but he and Nunez are particularly well suited to dance with each other.
Tell me your opinion about this other argentina, please: ruclips.net/video/GlzwNmPC3zo/видео.html
They are both magic, as one with the music.
Восхитительно! Талантливо,легко! Браво,любимые мои!❤️❤️🌹
I have watched this so many times it's becoming embarrassing.
So good, utter perfection.
And the joy of the dancers just dancing shines through so much. That's what makes it so special IMO.
Same here…have lost count.
Just wonderful. I could watch them dance all day. They're in a class of their own.
How gorgeous and glamorous they are! And Marianela is soooo perfect!!!!
Is there anything more exquisite in ballet than Nela and Vadim at the top of their game. A sublime Pas de Deux.
that big and elegant a la seconde turn melted into a ponche in his hand is just romantic and stunning .
I think I am going to cry out of joy! She is a delight! I adore her and her smile!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Nela always seems so happy just to be dancing, even in rehearsal footage. 💛 Her joy is contagious!
The costumes are so gorgeous 😍
They are STUNNING. Their lines are gorgeous!
The more I watch these two they more I admire their artistry. Bravo 👏
I agree with all of the glowing comments below. As well he is genuinely elegant, a quality one sees on very few male dancers.
That whole occasion was wonderful, the Royal Ballet having been shut down for so long. All the performers were so delighted to be there, and it showed throughout the evening. The entire Royal Ballet pulled out the stops, and it was a joy to behold. Bravo, our great Royal Ballet!
Hypnotized. What a great pdd!!! Vadim and Nela 🥰🥰🥰
I wonder if these two ever tire of their own perfection? 😍🤩 They are a dream to watch together and one could only dream of attaining that level of technical control and mastery. Tears of joy to watch them. Can’t wait to one day dare to go home 🇬🇧🤞🏾and see them perform on stage in my hometown and at a theatre where I spent many happy hours dancing myself🙏🏾 (thank you Lord). Also, how does Marianela only get *better* with time?! 🥰😍🥰
Yes they are so beautiful you can cry, agree
Very nice.
I find it interesting that her balance points are quite internal, hence the looking down.
I enjoy the private moments that they share...that causes her to really smile and even giggle.
Thank you for describing what I was thinking too. She has so much an internal 'presence' that when I watch her connect with that in those moments a feeling of peace and quietness comes over me! I have watched this many times just to get my 'fix' .
Vadim and Marianela are my favourite duo! so elegant and delicate, but strong at the same time
How absolutely amazing to see this pas de deux done with such elegance and sweet chemistry, as opposed to the empty and tacky bravado that's usually the case. Marianela adds touches of style and artistry that makes the work new and unique.
You’re absolutely right. I think it’s often forgotten, when danced out of context as a gala piece, that this is Basilio and Kitri’s wedding pas de Deux and should be danced as such and not as a party piece. Nunez and Muntagirov here dance it as a couple in love, proud and happy to be finally married - as it should be.
Why is Marianela not a prima ballerina assoluta? She has earned, and deserves, the accolade.
I agree 100%!
For sure, she deserves this more than any other.
She already is--they simply haven't caught up with her!
she certainly deserves that. shes been over 20 years at the royal ballet and there is still no one better than her. A true genius and a wonderful personality. Shes Assoluta as far as im concerned.
@@Sunflower_vally ASSOLUTA no prima yes
Best pair in history!! They're so good at partnering with each other
yes!! their swan lake made me cry. I'm hoping to watch their giselle in 2018 too
I cried watching this on the livestream! Seeing them dance together again after so many months away is such a joy ❤️
Why she is so beautiful? She is so wonderful! And obviously he is amazing 😍❤️👏🏻
Marianela is truly everything, what an amazing dancer, she makes it look so easy
The queen and king😍😍 Nela is the most complete of all the ballerinas.
Splendid!! Nunez's technique has made a beautiful achievement with her quiet center. Her lovely poise on balance is fun to watch. What joy to watch her love of performance that comes as if a fresh first time. Her partner is a dream, too. They are a very nice match for pas de deux! Bis!
Yes, it's that quiet center she has that thrills me so much - and the two of them together!
I remember seeing a documentary about Vadim’s beginnings in the company. He was so shy and uncertain but hopeful about his future. Well he’s made it and how 👏👏👏
It’s a great documentary but that was when he was in English National Ballet. He joined the Royal Ballet later.
@@ntricker you're right. My mistake. Thank you for your correction. He was still a young man but promising. He went a long way.
He certainly did and will go further. To my mind, the best male classical dancer around at the moment.
Partnering Marianela has got to have helped, her technique is so good it frees him to express himself, then her personality and warmth would’ve been encouraging. And top of this she’s obviously a fan, I remember watching a rehearsal where she spontaneously burst into applause when he finished.
That's why I love the Royal Ballet...the looks, the smiles, the dance all telling the story. In ballet the face shines. No masks allowed.
Truly out of this world. Gets me every time, the music, the artistry and balletic genius of these two. Simply stunning 👏👏👏
So beautiful, lovely, and their artistry is impeccable! How I wish The Royal Ballet would once again tour in North America.
She is one of the greatest of all time.... stunning! Great partnering also xx
Their synchronicity is incredible
Dance of both dancers is pure perfection.
THIS WAS AMAZINGGGGG! Marianela Nunez never fails to amaze! That balance and control while rolling down was *chefs kiss*!! I almost forgot to breath. I hope one day I can watch her in person!
Awesome dancing. Music is gorgeous too. My favorite Don Q pas de deux.
Each one gives all with great style but the couple is incomparable... Great. Bravo!
Always such a joy to watch these two dance together. Marianela's balance is superb! Love them both.
They are perfect together, and he is so elegant!
Marianela sabe como reagir a cada acorde da música. Sua classe, inteligência física e interpretativa iluminam toda a cena. Parabéns aos dois lindos intérpretes!👏🎶🌹
Perfect technique and beautiful dancing
The dancing is just sublime and what I truly adore about this partnership is there seems to be such genuine fondness and admiration for each other.
Magic. At this level they can "play with their technique" and for me, they are the two best dancers in the world and the Royal Ballet has so much talent to choose from ❤ Thankyou!
Very true. They have taken choreography that is trotted out and danced at every single gala on the planet, and finally made it mean something, transcending technique to express the intimate inner feelings of Kitri and Basilio. I had to remember to breathe while watching them dance!
Oh, that put such a big smile on my face ❤️
Vadim's lines! Dreamy!
that's why he's called Vadream, right?
quelle incroyable maîtrise, quelle beauté ! et tout sans éffort visible ! magnifique !
Everything about this is beyond beautiful
How do you not have a smile on your face throughout this? Absolutely lovely.
I literally teared up watching this! So moving!
Maravillosa Marianela! Encanto, dulzura, expresión y técnica..... se puede pedir más? Gran Muntagirov
Wow...what a balance...and that pirouette à la seconde en dedans...just wow...
My word, these two are breathtaking
What a lovely surprise on a dull and gloomy November afternoon.
Vadim’s gem of a moment starting at 2:36…the final flourish of the right arm out of the jump, the perfect line of the leg in the turn…sighhhhh 😍
I love this pas de deux, especially the tiny details like the accents with the hands on the music. Gorgeous!!!
Thank, thank you Marianela and Vadim - you have such perfect technique and timing. xx
I have to say Vadim is becoming more and more handsome every single day.
So why is Boris mad at Vadim all the time? :(
@@MonicaLabbao_littlemonicat Who is Boris?
@@hk6970 Life of Boris, the Slav King channel. He has a neighbor named Vadim, whom he hates 😂
@@MonicaLabbao_littlemonicat Ooh,I see :)
She’s dancing and they are partnering. This is it.
The choreography is stunning and they are impressive love theeeem❤️❤️❤️❤️
Couple's complicity, gives a
particular charme and sublimes the great style and preccison of the play. Great one made for the other. One dance with two souls!
So wonderful to watch. I watch and listen to the music in the morning. A perfect way to start my day. Thank you❣️
Oh my heart, watching these two. God, I love them.
she looks like a very happy and healthy ballerina 🥺
She must be one of the greats of all time
Wonderful to watch these two together perfect harmony enchanting
Her smile looks so genuine. It’s amazing
They are loving every moment! Absolute joy to watch.
she is so strong and beautiful, i just love it
Beautiful dancing and masterful stagecraft. They are so lovely and I wish I could see them live but thank you for this excerpt.
She wears this like second skin... she is so unbelievable it is chilling... 4:02 requires the skill of a neonatal surgean. and he allows her to shine .. this is so beautiful it makes me cry
It is wonderful, Marianela and Vadim! Wow!
Wow ! Wow! Wow ! Beautiful ! 💐💐💐💐💐
She can do anything, and her balance...just extraordinary.
Holy Christmas are they fabulous!!!!!
