aileen Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 A couple of Vadim's solos from last night's performance are already up on YouTube - thanks to Twitter bellafigural. I'm no expert, but they look good. Vadim has now danced La Bayadere with three different companies. I wonder whether that's three different versions.

MAB Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Was just sent a link, they look more than good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) The YouTube film actually show Vadim's 'wedding' solo twice. His 'shades' act solo was equally stunning. A privilege to be there. Incidentally, Xander Parish features prominently and very well indeed in the Grand Pas. So the YouTube extract is very much worth a look on both counts. I think the link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4awdOTTQig Edited March 9, 2013 by capybara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aileen Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Capybara, was the "Shades Act" solo the one where Vadim is in blue? How was the rest of the performance? Are you staying for the gala tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Aileen, I can't find the 'shades act' solo on YouTube. The clip that I have seen shows the 'wedding' solo twice! But, yes, he was in blue for the 'shades act'. Where did you find that? Of course, the rest of the performance of Bayadere was wonderfully up to the Mariinsky's standards with Ekaterina Osmolkina and Oxana Skorik both lovely as Gamzatti and Nikiya respectively. Alas, we couldn't stay for the Gala. Too many RB tickets already booked for this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Capybara, I found the two clips via bellafigural's (Laura Cappelle's) Twitter account. Lucky you to have seen the performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Here are some of the videos of Vadim if anyone was still looking for them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpZ7lHuaVtw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBqvj_FYurM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Since there appears to be difficulty in giving the links to Vadim's two solos here, searchers may wish to know that, thanks to Graham Watts, both can now be accessed via Vadim's twitter account.

Oxana Skorik went on to be technically flawless at the Gala, dancing the very demanding Grand pas classique with perfect single, single developé(?)(leg straight out to the side), double, fouette spins. The Gala was magnificent as was all the Festival that I saw. I was only unable to see the beginning Diana Vishneva performances. At the Gala Vadim danced in the pas de deux from The Sleeping Beauty with Yekaterina Osmolkina. She was Absolutely Lovely(!) and he was a fine and sympathetic partner.
