MOODY Thank you for that, I totally agree.

Today my father would have turned 91. I decided to put together a concert of pieces he loved. This had to be part of it.

Makes me cry.😢 Remembering those moments in ballet.❤

Chopin’s music brought to life in full orchestration in this stunning mini ballet

So nice to see so many dear old colleagues and friends,, the beautiful ABT corps de ballet ladies of the MISHA years. Everyone of them so beautiful and good natured. The last years of the golden age of dance

soooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful

La nostalgique de Chopin est magnifique...

BEAUTIFUL!! I love Les Sylphides.

Just lovely, soulful, the music of Chopin, choreography, dancers. Best version i have seen. What an esthetic audio, visual experience. Someone said dance makes music visible, it applies so much here. Thank you!

This physically hurts with how perfect it is.

For those that are of today's age, Ballet Theater, as it was then known, was the last complete oversee by Michel Fokine of his ballet and Dimitri Romanoff, regisseur, was in charge of rehearsing this ballet. I came into the company in 1958 as a corps dancer with Michael Lland, Royes Fernandez, John Kriza and Erik Bruhn being the male stars. The lady ballerinas were Ruth Ann Koesun, Nora Kaye, Violette Verdy, Lupe Serrano. The second soloists also danced some of the roles sometimes. Still my favorite "white" ballet and this is a marvelous production. Dimitri was a task master for this ballet and the corps girls were not too pleased when this was scheduled.

Eric Bruhn was the boyfriend/lover of Rudolf Nureyev. Nureyev got AIDS from Eric and died young, as a result. I met Nureyev in Hawaii where my father played in the orchestra for Nureyev. I was on stage during the dress rehearsal and made eye contact with him. Now I know he was gay, maybe he was checking me out?!

@currie pederson My ballet teachers, Robert and Carol Brotherton Hanlin also danced with ABT about the same time. When Carol taught us Les Sylphides, she said the same thing about Michel Fokine overseeing the ballet for ABT. That always made me feel special and that we had the true choreography. Our regional company has since repeated Les Sylphides with my daughter dancing in the corps. However, they were taught the Royal Ballet version. I am going to share this version with her and your comments. Thank you for sharing, Diana

Magnifica esta peça clássica!

Stupendo balletto per una musica splendida. Tutto è armonia e melodia in un intreccio d'arte semplicemente unico.

Siempre me ha fascinado este ballet,esta música divina.Gracias ,,!

Fokine's great summation of romanticism. Gossamer lightness, the ethereal sylphs ( air elementals ) The first plotless ballet ? The male dancer variously described as a poet, or even the personification of Chopin.

La mélodie qui commence à 11:45 est celle sur laquelle j’ai fait mon dernier ballet, celle juste avant est celle sur laquelle j’ai fait mon premier solo. Le ballet me manque tellement 😔

Awesome. So exceedingly soft and melting that I kind of missed the bolder, more carpenter-like approach taken by Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo.

Me, too. Pure in its beauty as few things are these days.

Curious. I found a page of Fokine's notes on the opening floor patterns and he had three more dancers on each side wing. I wonder if abt's choice of a smallee corp du ballet was budgetary, technical, or whatever. Given the location, not due to the size of the stage I guess.

Whose arrangements are they using? ... Benjamin Britten was commissioned to do an orchestration for this company when he was in New York at the start of the 2nd world war, so maybe the ballet is being danced to his version. At any rate, the arranger's name should have been mentioned in the credits.
