TSR101 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but does anyone know if any of Sylvie Guillems full length ballets are on DVD/Blu Ray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 I'm not sure that they are, although I think there's a series of DVDs of her more contemporary work which she did at Sadler's Wells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately none of her great classical performances, just a couple of later contemporary performance like 'Push' with Russel Maliphant and 'Bye' by Mats Ek. There is a double disc, 'At Work/Portrait', mainly documentary with ballet clips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stucha Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) There is also Guillem's performance of full length Manon with Laurent Hilaire on YouTube. Search L'histoire de Manon as it is known in Paris. As well, there is a full length Giselle with Guillem and Hilaire Edited April 3, 2023 by stucha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSR101 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Thanks - I have seen these performances (there is also a full length Bayadere somewhere on YouTube too). These were what actually made me curious about whether there is any official (and therefore better quality) film of her performances. Thankfully, even when they retire we can look back on ballerinas like Nunez where we have plentiful footage to relive their artistry. It seems shocking to me that there are not any of Sylvie - given her extraordinary ability. Edited April 3, 2023 by TSR101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 That may have been down to Guillem, of course - she was well-known for having some of her performances removed from official DVDs of e.g. galas and so on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naomi M Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 The POB Nureyev Cinderella was once officially available as a VHS video but sadly not retailed as DVD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnePigeon Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 There’s a DVD of Guillem in Marguerite and Armand. I haven’t seen it, but it comes up on eBay fairly frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was available in Europe, I'm not sure if I bought it in Paris or England. It's actually rather disappointing , given it contains the fabulous Le Riche and Guillem. It's a film (not just a filmed performance) but their performances with the Royal Ballet were, in my view, much more thrilling than on this film. It was made during a tour of Japan. There are extra sections focusing on their preparations on tour before performing. It was very disappointing that although Guillem did perform at Le Riche's final performance at the Opera she refused to allow her contribution to be shown on film.

FionaM Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 I don’t understand the rationale for DVDs of dance retailed in one country only. The power of dance is that it is not spoken and therefore universally accessible to all! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of Japanese published DVDs, usually it just means that they don’t have a route to put them on international market (some of them were available at Opera de Paris’s store) and sometimes could be purchased from Japanese HMV or Tower Records online. I don’t think it is a copyright issue (such as geoblocking in case of streaming) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivy Lin Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 From what I understand Guillem did not like being filmed and often requested for her performances to be removed from the DVD or official cinema release. I remember she danced at Nicholas LeRiche's farewell but her portion of the evening was removed from the cinemacast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 When I saw this ballet streamed, I hadn't read the synopsis previously and had difficulty in understanding what was happening. I have now read the book and seen the restored film on blu-ray and hence better prepared for the ballet release on disc, without it being any more credible. I enjoyed the music and dancing though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
