Thursday At The Theater: Pharaoh’s Daughter

Tonight’s ballet is not full-length. Why? Because I think this is a performance woth viewing, even if it’s just an excerpt. It has taken over 100 years for it to return to the stage and Svetlana Zakharova and Sergei Filin are spectacular in this staging! The ballet I’m talking about...

The Video Dictionary of Classical Ballet



The Video Dictionary of Classical Ballet by Kevin McKenzie and Georgina Parkinson

"Ballet was never just a set of physical exercises or positions.
It was always a set of beliefs,
an aspiration to nobility,
an aspiration to the extraordinary,
to the 'merveilleux'.
It was a way of life. And it is today a connection to the past,

and to the worlds that they lived in.
It is a living, moving history."
