Definately Worth Having
I was surprised when Amazon asked me to be the first to review this ballet but, here goes.
Back about 5 years ago I went to the Kennedy Center to see the Kirov's newly redone version of Cinderella and loved it. Set in modern times with minimal scenery, Cinderella in leg warmers, the Fairy Godmother a bag lady and the four seasons variations being performed by men, I thought it was terrific. I have wished ever since that the Kirov would film and release this version.
I like the Royal Ballet version also - for different reasons but it's been a long time since it was made and I think newer performances are much needed. Being a composer of our time, I think Prokofiev's music does adapt to a version which is set in more modern times.
I have always loved Nureyev's choreography. It's clever, intricate and, I'm sure, not so easy for dancers to do. In most cases the ballets he worked on were all some of his work added to that of previous choreographers of years gone by...
great qualite
Very good picture, for not being in blue ray, very clear . great camera work, do not miss it.
Nureyev, choreographie is wonderfull and very original and so magically interpreted by
Agnes Letestu and les premiers danseurs de l opera de Paris Stephanie Romberg and Stephanie Phavorin, as the sisters.
Cinderella (Cendrillon)
Charming, interesting Brilliant original choreography. Marvelous dancers.
Acting was also very good. We saw the film on Mezzo TV and wanted the DVD.
