The Royal Ballet's Giselle in rehearsal 

“The magic is when you don’t see the steps” - Olga is so right about the heart of Giselle is being able to tell the story.

I love this teacher. She is fascinating

There’s something incredibly hypnotic about Olga’s movement and speech. Wonderful watching her.

What an absolute treasure Monica and Olga are. I could literally watch them rehearse and teach all day long.

Olga and Monica are absolute treasures.

Never watched something like this before. The woman coaching is extraordinary. The emotion she brings out in them brought me to tears . She is so detailed

Fascinating. Such wonderful teaching - how lucky these young dancers are. 'Panther feet' - I will always watch for this now...

Monica Mason was such a huge talent. She’s an incredible person and such a brilliant, generous coach

I just appreciate how generous Monica was with Julia's stamina. 40:20 She knew what she had been rehearsing, didn't want to jump too much, and zeroed in on her intention behind the steps. Beautiful! Btw my only relation to ballet is wearing heels - I'll never forget, "PANTHER FEET, PANTHER FEET!" when i walk 🐈‍⬛🤭

Yasmine and Matthew are amazing together. Just love their partnership and their interpretation of the roles. Such incredible insights by Olga and Monica too!!

to get to hear so much from olga makes me sooo happy ... im five minutes in and im ready to start crying.

Ms Evreinof's coaching is wonderfull , so are her insights into what's important to this Ballet.

to be able to watch this brings literal tears to my eyes, seeing olga coach them in such a close and real moment it's amazing, thank you royal ballet for sharing this with us

What a beautiful teacher Olga is! such sensitivity and so talented!

Really wonderful Olga, Monica, Yasmine, Matthew and Julia! Thank you for sharing your phenomenal talent.

julia is beutiful. olga and monica are magical and wise. yas and mat were haunting. this ballet has me hyped.

I love these two together. Their Romeo and Juliet was amazing, and I feel this will be as well.

Feel honoured my Dad named me after his love of this Beautiful Ballet 😊❤

Julia is so good! I want to see more of her!

Olga is such a gem

👀Olga, my secret love! She's so lovely. 😘 ❤️ ✨

Yasmine , my dream. Always look forward to your rehearsals. Such a beautiful swan 💙 lovely Giselle, as usual.

Beautiful rehearsal of my favorite ballet. Thank you all very much ❤️😎

Love watching monica mason rehearse yet another generation of dancers

Monica and Olga…they are literally gold at teaching these roles. So much insight into the intricacies of the characters. The dancers will be SO much better at performing after rehearsing with them!💕💕💕

Merci beaucoup de partager avec nous cette répétition ; thank you very much to share this rehearsal with us ; Bravo !!!!! 😃

Hello :-)! I'm in total LOVE with the music but I'm unable to find a good recording of this piano version of the Prince entrance(not the orchestral one): would you have, by any chance, a reference to give? Has the pianist done any recording of this? Can I find it on itunes? Or elsewhere? Thank you in advance to anyone who might help

Madame Olga is The ballet mistress! Really special for a special cast!

I hope this is the cast that is shown in the stream because Matthew is incredible

Um dos mais belos ballet da história do BALLET clássico! !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

L'insegnante Olga mi piace tantissimo come insegna! Grande livello di insegnamento ed espressiva al massimo! Dolce e romantica! Adatta ad insegnare Questi balletti!

Fantastic insight from the fantastic Myrtha of her time ….. Monica Mason . I saw her in this role many times. Thanks very much 😎❤️

I love this coach, she is lovely and so passionate. What is her name??/

is it just me or i can sense edward cullen?

Having just seen the Royal Ballet performance of Giselle at it is fascinating to now watch Olga and Monica coaching the dancers. I want to go back and see another performance. There is so much detail to grasp, so much subtlety of movement and gesture. It is an honour to have an opportunity to watch these experts in rehearsal.

Panther feet! Priceless. Thank you Monica. Thank you Olga. They're such amazing teachers and coaches.

Just walking in that cloak must be something you need to learn.

This is freaking incredible!!! I’m obsessed 🥰🥰🥰

I love the two women coaches.

That was just marvellous, thank you. I think watching a rehearsal takes it to another level altogether. I saw Monica the other day and today , Olga ( please excuse use of first names but the others seem to do so - relaxed rules these days). Oh, what a wonderful memory of Margot, to get so into a role that she had a tear. Thank you so much, I look forward to the 3rd. Should I put a kangaroo 🦘? 🤣🤣. 🙏🙏🩰🩰👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Fancy being coached by the best Myrta ever! What an honour. When this finishes, I’ll go watch Monica as myrta in Giselle. I’ve kept it for a long time. Thank you so much all of you , I think k Giselle is one of the best ballets. 🩰 🙏👵🇦🇺

Wonderful teacher!

She's a lovely dancer but a little too sweet. Think of the 'white witch' in Narnia. I alternated this role with Georgina Parkinson in Sydney Australia in 1972. I would love to see Monica in this role.

Ольга прекрасный учитель! Смотрю и смотрю на нее ....Она удивительная!!!!

Does anyone know if it is common for the role of Myrtha being cast with „only“ corps de ballet-members? Not in the least saying they aren’t deserving, I am just curious. The role seems quite a feat and there might be higher ranking dancers waiting to do it? Is this a sign for promotion looming? Genuinely curious.

Sincere thanks to ROLEX and of course this truly special company.

Gold suits Olga very well.

Most interesting and importent rehearsel. Thank you for that!💐💐The flowers are for Olga and Monika! Marvelous coaches!

How do these type of performing arts support themselves financially? Just curious.

The coach is exceptionally gentle, unless any other coaches I‘ve seen

Who is the Giselle? The poor girl is too thin...Usually the Royal's dancers look healthy.

Wonderful to watch this fascinating rehearsal in my home. But when Mayara Magri is Giselle I'll be straight on a plane to watch in person.

Wow this woman is incredible! She has the perfect body, The perfect height, the perfect feet! And her soul you can feel and see it through her dancing so fantastic and I’m so jealous!!!!

In my mind, Natalia is the greatest Giselle I’ve ever seen. She is Giselle. She’s on another planet another galaxy another world. She just nailed it. She is Giselle 125%. She is magnificent and strong and beautiful and she’s so captivating. That’s just my opinion. Also use all my🩰 favourite ballet ever.

thank you for sharing this - it's wonderful to watch

Thank you for showing this rehearsal to us!

I think it’s obvious who is the BEST Myrtha EVER. Watching Monica perform it is mesmerizing.

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus. Xxx

Watching Olga teaching is such a pleasure

panther feet!!!

I want Giselle was made into a movie by James Wan.

How wonderful to see Monica Mason teaching. I remember her beautiful performances - yes I do go back a long way and have always the RHO. Thank you Monica very much.

Olga is so nice and such a good teacher.

Question…how often is there an audience in rehearsal? For events like this, where every now and then they open it up for paying patrons or “sponsors” or something?

マシュー様～😍

Прекрасная репетиция) как хорошо, что Ольга помнит и передает исполнение великой и в то же время, потрясающе искренней Галины Улановой! Потрясающие танцоры, больших успехов и покорения вершин😊

Ahh yes I’ve been waiting for this!! I want to visit UK to see Giselle so bad.

Yasmine is the best ballerina I've seen 💜

Tears of emotion from this rehearsal. awesome.

That first lift had me welling up! The music is so beautiful too.

Oh, gosh, she should be an acrobat, not a ballerina!

Watching this beautiful rehearsal made me think that Julia, although a marvelous technical dancer never understood what Dame Monica was trying to teach her. Perhaps Julia was just tired, but somehow she seemed unable to follow Monica’s direction. Myrtha is such a beautiful part, requiring a special stage presence and Julia is not quite there.

I was completely transfixed! I enjoy seeing this rehearsal as much if even more so, than an actual performance...hearing Olga's critiquing and coaching.She is absolutely beautiful and a phenomenal coach! "Go back to thinky thinky" had me chuckling. 😄

Maybe good, hmm...... Generally, ballet. I am, replacement.

Hi from country south Australia. Looking so forward to this. Just could t wait to comment 👵👵👵🩰🩰🩰🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I am glad I am not the only one brought to tears. I do not know this music as well as I know other ballets, and it really is beautiful, combined with Olga’s gentle encouragement and the emotion and connection of the dancers.

I don't get a strong sense of this character; but maybe it's unfair to expect that at this rehearsal point?

Just go where you are. Thinky thinky 🤣🤣🤣

An awful lot of distracting movement in the back ground, when Olga is setting the scene at the beginning. Extremely rude and inappropriate.

She doesn't seem comfortable with the role of myrtha.

😱 really this is too hard to work with, but I always loving to watched.. spacially thanksgiving to honorable choreographer ..🙏

I find it amazing how the teacher manages to take it up another gear.

These three together are magic.

Olga is such a wise and marvelous teacher.

I'm watching with great pleasure. Tks

Beautiful dancers!

Olga's attention to detail is amazing

Olga ❤❤❤❤

Beautiful!

dear Tamsin, and Royal Ballet: Giselle was conceived by Theophille Gauthier and choreographed by julles Perot in 1841 . Petipa was appointed Ballet Master in St' Petersburg only as late as 1849, His version is much later and entirely based on the original by Gauthier and Perot.I 'm sure you know this so why not be accurate?!

When does it take place?

I wish her the best but I miss Marianela Nunez :(

See you soon on 18th at ROH 🥰🥰🥰

Thanks

💜💜💙💙

💖💖💖

Stunning, and amazing content idea 10/10 😽💦

Когда смотришь на Ольгу Евреинову, понимаешь, что такое золото и для чего оно существует. Не думаю, что золотой гарнитур, украшающий Ольгу, мог бы смотреться так же великолепно на ком-то другом.

“Good Luck on your debut.” Big, big faux pas. The presenter should have said “MERDE, on your debut.”

Who is this dancer?
