 The Pharaoh's daughter-BALLET LOSTFeb 18, 2010
Marius Petipa, one of the greatest ballet choreographers of the century, met his first success with the ballet The Pharaoh's daughter. Did everything to please the public romantismo.Lugar exotic (Ancient Egypt), impressive figures, scenes of large groups, pantomimes, pas de deux and solos at will. Smash everything that was in that ballet fell in love the wagon.
Choreographer Pierre Lacote accepted the mission to rebuild the daughter of Pharaoh, ballet has been lost in the twentieth century. Music Cesare Pugni there is a reduction for piano, already the choreography was more complicated. The focus was on the memories of dancers who danced the ballet in the first decades of the twentieth century and used his creativity in several parts.
The ballet The Pharaoh's Daughter has 204 shows between 1864 to 1904 on stage in Czarist Russia. These figures attest to its popularity. But for reasons unknown and unexplained, it fell into oblivion. His last appearance was in the distant year of 1926.
The choreography Lacote follows the tradition of the great Russian ballets. Keep the spirit and style of Petipa. Variations and soils of difficulty attached to numbers with group scenes. All this aims to show the technical mastery of the dancers. Technique not only excites and Lacote know it. His dance is smooth and balanced. Alterna moments of lightness with strength, thrilling the viewer. The numbers follow the tradition of the nineteenth century, Lacote not invent fashion, runs away from the modern choreography. He knows he is facing a romantic ballet and fits him. Your work is brilliant, riding a century ballet in his face the date of his debut. Everything is great: scenarios, number of dancers and colors. Make a single concession reduces the time the ballet of four for just over two hours.
The scenery is magnificent, convey the mood and magic of ancient Egypt. His golden colors fit with the smooth sands of the Sahara desert. Remember the tales of Thousand and One Nights. The costumes are stunning in beauty, adapt to the libretto. The lighting is correct, but sometimes static: it could be better worked, helping the progress of the plot.
Svetlana Zakharova is the first dancer of the Bolshoi and one of the big news. It has all the requirements for it. Technique, charisma, safe steps, trust. But its beauty is highlighted, makes grown men drool and women die of envy. Dance lightly, floating in slow steps, defies the laws of gravity in the pas de deux.
The dancer Sergei Filin in the tradition of the Russian school. Pure strength, high heels. Leads Zakharova in pas de deux with refined technique. But he lacks the charisma of a Roberto Bolle or Russian Korsuntsev of Kirov.
The corps de ballet is exceptional, the great dance steps simultaneously tuned to near perfection. Standard Bolshoi quality.
Daughter of Pharaoh is a grand ballet in all directions, and do not understand why he left the repertoire of the great Russian opera. His music and choreography in love, this re-recorded in 2003 comes in handy.

Marius Petipa, um dos maiores coreografos de balé do século XIX, conheceu seu primeiro sucesso com o balé A filha do Faraó. Fez tudo para agradar o público do romantismo.Lugar exótico (Egito Antigo) , números grandiosos, grandes cenas de grupos, pantomimas, pas de deux e solos à vontade. Sucesso estrondoso, tudo que estava nesse balé caiu no gosto da galera.
O coreógrafo Pierre Lacote aceitou a missão de reconstruir A Filha do Faraó, balé que se perdeu no século XX. Da música de Cesare Pugni existe uma redução para piano; já a coreografia foi mais complicada. Ateve-se a lembranças de bailarinas que dançaram o balé nas primeiras décadas do século XX e usou sua criatividade em diversas partes.
O balé A Filha do Faraó teve 204 apresentações entre 1864 até 1904 nos palcos da Rússia Czarista. Esses números atestam sua popularidade. Mas, por motivos desconhecidos e inexplicáveis, ele caiu no esquecimento. Sua última apresentação ocorreu no longínquo ano de 1926.
A coreografia de Lacote segue a tradição dos grandes balés russos. Mantém o espírito e o estílo de Petipa. Variações e solos de grande dificuldade unidos a números com cenas de grupo. Tudo isso visa mostrar a maestria técnica dos bailarinos. Técnica somente não emociona e Lacote sabe disso. Sua dança é harmoniosa e equilibrada. Alterna momentos de leveza com força, emocionando o espectador. Os números seguem a tradição do século XIX, Lacote não inventa moda, foge das coreografias modernas. Sabe que está diante de um balé romântico e se adequa a ele. Seu trabalho é brilhante, monta um balé no século XXI com a cara da data de sua estréia. Tudo é grandioso: cenários, número de bailarinos e cores. Faz uma única concessão: reduz o tempo do balé de quatro para pouco mais de duas horas.
Os cenários são grandiosos, transmitem o clima e a magia do Egito antigo. Suas cores douradas se encaixam com a fluidez das areias do deserto do Saara. Lembram os contos das Mil e Uma Noites. Os figurinos são estonteantes na beleza, adaptam-se ao libreto. A iluminação é correta, mas às vezes estática: poderia ser melhor trabalhada, auxiliando o desenrolar da trama.
Svetlana Zakharova é a primeira bailarina do Bolshoi e uma das grandes da atualidade. Tem todos os requisitos para isso. Técnica apurada, carisma, passos seguros, confiança. Mas sua beleza é destaque, faz os marmanjos babarem e as mulheres morrerem de inveja. Dança com leveza, flutua nos passos lentos, desafia as leis da gravidade nos pas de deux.
O bailarino Sergei Filin segue a tradição da escola russa. Pura força, saltos altos. Conduz Zakharova nos pas de deux com técnica refinada. Mas lhe falta o carisma de um Roberto Bolle ou do russo Korsuntsev, do Kirov.
O corpo de baile é excepcional, dança os grandes passos simultâneos com sintonia que beira a perfeição. Padrão Bolshoi de qualidade.
A Filha do Faraó é um balé grandioso em todos os sentidos, e não entendo porque ele saiu do repertório dos grandes teatros russos. Sua música e coreografia apaixonam, essa recriação gravada em 2003 vem em boa hora.

 I agree with Ivy LinAug 03, 2008
I agree with Ivy Lin! I think she gives this ballet too high a score, though. "Cesare Pugni's score is always listenable but also absolutely forgettable" is right on. She failed to mention the boring choreography, though she did comment on the lack of storyline. There may be a reason that this little-known ballet is little-known. I also "honestly couldn't imagine watching and rewatching it."
