BeauxArts Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 An opportunity to see Viktoria Terehkina, Xander Parish and Konstantin Zverev dancing in the lead roles of Raymonda on Monday evening. This is being broadcast live from the Mariinsky, with Gergiev conducting. https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/082954-000-A/raymonda-de-marius-petipa-au-theatre-mariinsky/ The start time is 4 pm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulcinella Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 If you change the language to English it says the start time is 5 pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauxArts Posted May 27, 2018 Author Share Posted May 27, 2018 Yes: but the link is a French site and the performance starts at 7 pm St P time; 5 pm French time; and - assuming we are still an hour behind our immediate neighbours - 4 pm UK time - by my calculations!

now voyager Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) At this time of year, Western Europe is only 1 hour behind St Petersburg time, and the UK only 2 hours. As I write this, it’s about 6:30 pm in London, 8:30 pm in St Petersburg. (Russia does not participate in daylight savings time.)

alison Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Do they put this on their website afterwards? I'd need to be bionic to get home in time for the start ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauxArts Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Alison The Arte site says it will be available until 27.11.2018- should give you enough time to get home and watch it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Q Fan Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) I watched this it was nice but I think I preferred Nureyev's version which I saw in Vienna last month. Some of the relay was a bit stilted at times which I hope smooths out in the recorded viewing. Tereshkina was very good but I'm not convinced of Parish though.

BeauxArts Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) The Nureyev version is my favourite. The Georgiadis designs are splendid. I see the the Munich Staatsballet start their run of the Ray Barra version of Raymonda on Friday, 1 June. I am not familiar with that production. The decision of Fateyev (presumably) to cast Parish in the broadcast version was not that popular locally it seems, judging by comments from Russian ballet fans.. No issue taken With Tereshkina, although the best Raymonda is probably Novikova who continues to be given lead roles sparingly, much to the chagrin of her many admirers.
