    Another Lacotte's triumph.
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015*

For many opera and ballet lovers, Daniel Francois Esprit Auber is not the first name to come to mind, yet he was a prolific and successful composer of more than 40 operas and was the Paris Conservatory Director, from 1851 until his death in 1871. Even for today standards he lived a long life, 89 years. Born in 1782, he was contemporary of an overwhelming amount of the finest composers that ever lived, many of whom, have him in high esteem. Together with Boildieu, Adam and Herold, he was part of the generation of great composer of opera  comique and contributed with Rossini and Meyerbeer to the creation of French grand opera. Despite those facts, much of his work have felt into oblivion, with just a few of his work performed nowadays.This ballet was written in 1857 based on an opera comique with the same  name, that Auber composed in 1852, on a text by Eugene Scribe, who collaborated with him in at least twenty operas. Some find the story plain silly, a pickpocketer with a double life among nobility. The lack of interest of this text, may rush us to forget, that Scribe is the original writer  of Le philtre, the play that Felice Romani adapted to write Donizetti opera buffa par excelence, L’ elisir d’amore.We, hard core opera and ballet lovers know that both genres are the kingdom were the impossible is the reality and would rather die or kill before admitting, but just sometimes among us, within the fraternity, never to the uninitiated,  that opera and ballet are based on childish or far-fetched stories. After all who cares, we love them both for the sheer of glorious singing and mesmerizing dancing.Pierre Lacotte did the revival of this ballet in 1981, for Nureyed in the title role.  But Lacotte is an ace of the trade, he designed these gorgeous costumes and also the elegant scenography, voila!! I would rate this ballet 6 starts because despite the text, is full of beautiful music and a lot of bravura dancing. It the first time I see the fascinating Eugenia Obraztsova, she dances the role of Angela, Marco Spada’s daughter. She never lost a beat and her razor sharp dancing full of stamina, together with her sweet smile, is a dream. Olga Smirnova as Marchesa Sampietri  pass de deux are spectacular.Semyon Chudin and Igor Tsvirko are fantastic in their roll of Prince Federici and Count Pepinelli.Finally David Hallberg is…well David Hallberg, he had a lot of fun and Russians love him.Get your copy, if you are nuts about ballet, you will never regret it!!!

    great dancers, mediocre ballet
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2014*

What can one say about a mediocre ballet with great dancers performing?David Hallberg is splendid as the Bandit, reaching new heights thanksto his experience of the Bolshoi. Olga Smirnova seems as brilliant as she's reputedto be (we have to wait until June to see her in America).  The other principalsare very fine.  The story is ridiculous, and the choreography completely lackingin genuine feeling.  How can a great ballet company produce such nonsense?

    A two-faced male ballet role similar to that of the lead ballerina in Swan Lake
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2015*

This ballet provides an opportunity for a superb dancer, which David Hallberg is, to express a character who alternates between a good and an evil persona. In many ways this is similar to the usual practice of having a single ballerina dancing the roles of both Odette (the white swan) and Odille (the black swan) in the ballet Swan Lake. In both ballets the dancer has to portray their two personas differently, so that the audience can tell from the style of their movements whether at any instant they are Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde (so to speak). Without words, using only their body, it's quite a challenge for a dancer to pull this off convincingly. I felt that David Hallberg, the first American to be a principal dancer with the Bolshoi Ballet (and also simultaneously with American Ballet Theatre) did so in this Bolshoi production.
