northstar Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) From reading the 'least favourite ballet' topic I sense this is unfashionable, but my favourite ballet is Sleeping Beauty (based on seeing Peter Wright's BRB production and several productions which are not drastically dissimilar). I think Sleeping Beauty is the epitome of what enraptured me when I first saw a classical ballet. The pinnacle of romantic classicism in music and motion. Likewise I love all the 'Petipa' ballets, Giselle, Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Corsaire, Coppelia ... Some individual favourite dances that pop into my mind at this moment are the Violente Fairy's variation from Sleeping Beauty, Raymonda's Act III variation (led by piano), the Soldier and Viviandiere doll variation in the Nutcracker (Peter Wright's Royal Ballet production I think).
