This is why I dedicate my life to art. Amazing.

I'm not a big dance fan, and I never heard of Pina Bausch, but I can't get enough of this Dance of the Blessed Spirits.

Saw the opera at the Met and what an experience. I had tears when the baton was lifted. Such divine music.

Everything is surreal, like in a dream, or a fairy-tale. Pina Bausch's "Orpheus and Eurydice" is a total enjoyment and a living example of aesthetics. Brilliant dancers from the Ballet de L'Opéra National de Paris toss around in graceful, fluid movements, in a dreamlike setting to a beautiful piece of music, which altogether underpin her breathtaking choreography.

Indeed, Pina Bausch's choreography at l 'opéra de Paris' in 2018 was unforgettable !

It astonishes me that Pina Bausch has created such a beautiful piece of dance. It's delightful.

This is one of the most beautiful things I'll ever see/hear in my lifetime on a computer.

Wohl eines der schönsten und tiefgehendsten Musikstücke, immer ein absoluter und sehr ergreifender Hörgenuss!

this is gorgeous. Pina has captured an 'other' world of spirits, gossamer-light...

When I was watching a production by the Portland Opera and listening to this exquisite music, it occurred to me that Orfeo was incredibly selfish to want Eurydice back on Earth given where she was in the Afterlife. Wouldn't anyone want to be among the Blessed Spirits if given the opportunity?

One of the most beautiful dances I have seen. Thank you for posting it and I have watched it numerous times.

So beautiful and graceful............Touching music................Thanks !

So beautiful 😍💞 and yet haunting music 🎵🎶 to a sensitive guy ? but loved it.thanks for sharing this with us.

This piece, The Dance of the Blessed Spirits, is always, whenever I come back to view it once again, so satisfying yet moving -- within a deep spiritual dimension. If I recall correctly, Pina Bausch studied in New York City at the Martha Graham school on East 63 St. It was in the late '50's. At that time, I was working in the Registrar's Office, helping out Geordie Graham, Martha's younger sister. I remember Ms. Bausch's name among the list of students from that time: Pina being an unusual name, even in old New York City. As I view this piece I think it is ironic, that a choreographer as gifted as Ms. Bausch who has choreographically put her finger on the truth of the mythic Orfeo, whereas the great Graham, in what ought to have been her most insightful in her old age was, instead, fooling around with the likes of Maple Leaf Rag. It was not for nothing that the Greeks formed an entire mystery school around the Orphic Mysteries, the men's religion. Martha ought to have been working on exploring the mysteries of Orfeo. But she went in the wrong direction. Don't get me wrong, Scott Joplin's ragtime is heavenly. And Maple Leaf Rag is one his great achievements. But Gluck is better. And Pina Bausch is better.

The piece looks very "grahamian". And as it can be expected in the Garnier, the dancers are optimal.

Gorgeous! Bausch's choreography expresses the theme so perfectly!

I went to see this at the Paris Opera House in May 2014. Sheer perfection.

so beautyful!!

j'ai vu ce ballet au théatre antique d'Epidaure en Grèce l'été dernier, un pur bonheur! Marie-Agnés Gillot brillante!

VERY LOVELY💖💖💖💖

Le Ballet de l’Opéra national de Paris, Pina Bausch, absolument fantastiques!

Meu pai por nome Veridiano, operario da construcao civil, so' tinha o ensino fundamental, de alma docissima, tocava violoncelo por partitura, me fespertou em mim o gosto pela musica erudita e diante de tanta beleza comovo-me as lagrimas; sublime Danca dos Espititos Abencoados

Simply beautiful ~ thank you!

30년전 성가대에 서서 이 음에 맞춰 곡이 붙여진 성가를 부르든 기억이 납니다...가사가 이런걸로 기억 합니다! "어지신 목자 푸른 풀밭으로 언제나 나를 인도 하네. 진실로 선함과 그 인자하심이 언제나 나와 함께하리라!!!!!" 지금도 도로에 나갈때 로드킬 당한 생명들을 보았을때 기도후 항상 목청껏 부르는 찬양입니다 Hallelujah!!!!!!

Very Interesting work of Pina .Brilliant .

Bravo !!!! Bravissimo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fascinante

welcome blessed spirits so peaceful, deatiful,

I love it!

Sehr,sehr schöne ,ruhig fließende Tanzformation !

Thank you - what a pleasure

Exquisite. An example of the what we human beings can produce if, once inspired, work and cooperate together to create moments of sublime Beauty. What God in Christ intended us to reflect of His tremendous Glory. Thankful for the dancers, musicians, Gluck, Pina Bausch, the patrons, the costumers, the set designers, the lighting crew, the AV techs, the ordinary workers who sweep the floors...

such a rare good performing of this piece! ;) :)

Very beautiful moves which match the music's drive to evoke a mood of some deeply emotional yet blissful spiritual state. A state beyond words. I do wish however, that Ms. Bausch had been moved to use the men more. Here they are employed as mere porter's to transport the women from place to place. But come on! Men also have their own deeply felt expressions of purity of soul; Men also are blessed and are capable of bestowing blessing. Ms. Bausch seems to say "I don't know about that. I only know about how women feel." But that's a cop out. After all, Gluck was a man -- and his music evokes a mystical sense of angelic prayer -- for lack of a better word -- though it does stay down in the underworld. As an artist, Bausch needs to dig deeper. And find the sense of male/female relationship which speaks of the transcendent wholeness that is missing here..

I saw the whole ballet yesterday evening on Arte, oh so beautiful and well done with the singers too, I realy enjoyed it, so much thanks for this, Yvana *-*

Peu de gens sont prêts à admettre l'éclectisme de cette créatrice géniale.Ils n'ont retenu que l'aspect extérieur des audaces de Pina sans en saisir les motivations profondes.(quand sur la mort de Didon de Purcell elle danse au milieu des chaises renversées).Mary wigman et Kurt Jooss étaient fan de Gluck,Pina est leur disciple.. Beaucoup oublient qu'elle fut aussi une très grande danseuse.

I this a joke! You need to take a course in Dance history if you're questioning Pina Bausch's genious. Please say you don't understand the work, NOT say she was not a genius. She is the MOTHER of Tanztheater..... Looking at her work from a "classical" eye will do you a GREAT disservice.. Not all dance is BALLET and BALLET based......LOL and even THAT is foolish to say about her!!!! her work is deeply rooted in Martha/Cunningham/Ballet/Laban/Wigman/Joss.....!!!

Du kannst traeumen. Lächeln oder ruhig weinen

could be) but the movie to my mind was awful. yest this performance i like)and not because it is less modern than the movie.

Please people take a course in dance history before writing idiotic things.Then again! what would anyone expect from someone writing PERVERT whilst writing a critique..... AND PINA DOES NOT NEED TO BE REDEEMED! READ ANY DANCE HISTORY BOOK AND SEE THE ENDLESS DERIVATIVE CHOREOGRAPHERS WHO CREDIT HER AS INFLUENCE.....STOP WATCHING SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE AND SWAN LAKE FOR A BIT.....
