Variation from 'The Bluebeard': world premiere / Вариация из балета «Cиняя борода»: мировая премьера 

Excellent! - I could track down some information about the Russian composer Pyotr Petrovich Schenk (1870 - 1915), quote : The composer of Bluebeard was Pyotr Petrovich Schenk, one of the less-known Russian composers of the nineteenth century, whose name fell into obscurity after the 1917 Revolution. Schenk had graduated from the Saint Petersburg Conservatoire in 1887 as a pianist and took up music theory later. Born in 1870, he was orphaned at the age of six and was adopted by Imperial Theatre employee Pyotr Mikhailovich Schenk and his wife, the actress Ekaterina Reinecke, so a good part of his young adult life may have played in and out of the Imperial Theatre. There, he might have drawn attention to himself, possibly prior to his “brilliant début”. Following this success, he immediately appeared at the concert hall as conductor and pianist, performing his own works as well as others. If the Imperial management bargained for a ‘symphonist,’ they certainly had one in Schenk. According to unverified sources, Schenk started to compose Bluebeard in 1892, but should this prove to be unfounded, then the Imperial management surely eyed him as a potential candidate to, in time, follow in Tchaikovsky’s footsteps after many intended ballets by the lamented composer. In total, Schenk composed two ballets, five operas, four symphonies, symphonic poems, choruses, piano works, two operettas, cantatas and romances; for the romances, he closely collaborated with the Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich, a cousin of Tsar Nicholas II. He died in 1915, aged 45, a year after the première of his final opera.

что может быть лучше классического балета!

It's the first time I'm watching the ballet "Bluebeard"!

I wish we could see the whole ballet!

Vi é in questo balletto un eccezionale senso di occupazione dello spazio ed un mirabile mantenimento delle corali positure .Mirabile la decorrenza velocissima dei passi sulle punte della ballerina nel finale.Bravissimi tutti.Bighin Giulio Renzo

Such solid techinque! Not a step out of place.

Oh, Looked it up. It was a ballet by Petipa. The composer of the original was Schenk.. don't know if this is the original music or all him.. it might have music from other composers added, as do many of these old ballets that have been reworked several times..

Chudin and Kretova are both highly competent. He is particularly masterful in executing some very challenging steps. I can well understand why this music has been all but forgotten.

peter schenk's music is beautiful 😍😍😍 reminiscent of alexander glazunov's music

The four couples are also excellent

Excelente y expresivo Semyon Chudin.Admiradora !!!

Bravo super dance

Красиво все: танец, музыка, декорации. Артисты великолепны. Ощущение праздника.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wonderful ....I didn't know anything about this ballet.

до чего чудин великолепен!

Kristina Kretova delicious

I don't know this ballet at all; will start looking for it. I don't think I've seen this before, but the set seemed familiar, and so did most of the music. Who did the choreography? Again, thanks for posting.

Absolutely delightful! I just stumbled on this by dumb luck and am now in love with Kretova (was already in love with Chudin!) Kretova has some unusual qualities including phenomenal musicality and, obviously, the ability to balance forever. I'll add her to the list of soloists for whose promotion I'm rooting (this includes RB Yuhui Choe and Mariinski's Olesya Novikova).

Chudin, the best of the best

Muy bueno !!!!

Who is the composer of this ballet? i don't find

Одно движение напомнило раскрытие нажатием кнопки зонта - автомата.

Кретова не очень впечатлила, точнее работа верхней части торса.
