This production of "Bayadere" was the first ballet I ever saw live... And Tetsuya's performance blew me away. Thanks for posting... And bringing back memories of the night that started my love-affair with ballet...
Hard to remember what started my love, but one of the things had to be seeing Michael Denard live in New York doing Bejart's Firebird. And of course seeing Johan Renvall do this version of Idol was unforgettable!!
Circa whenever, this is one of the best of this variation I've seen. The applause was so great that Anthony Dowell was nearly eclipsed for his next entrance by the voluminous applause for this variation. Woof!
+sugarplumfairy20101 unfortunately unless I am very lucky and happen across one of Johan this will have to stand as the best on YT!! Of course there are many varieties of Bayadere.
judith booth MORE or less as the others may be little better .is dark also on the video ,l have it is the one with irek muckamedov and altynay asylmuratova with RB
pediatrapaola Yeah that is where it came from -- a VHS copy to DVD to Here -- Oh well I tried -- still its so spectacular I think I will leave it up -- Thanks
judith booth . Thank you so much for this! Would you possibly be able to upload the whole La Bayadere. This was the production of Makarova,I believe, which is my very favorite! It was shown live on tv around 1980.
