Angela Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 In which ballet does the lead male character joyfully present a dead rabbit to the ballerina? In which ballet does the ballerina fall from a horse and later salute a fountain? In which ballet do we get to see the pink frills on the priest's long johns? In which ballet does a sneezer blast an entangled pas de quatre?

loveclassics Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) Well Hilarion presents dead game to Giselle's mother and in Alice the dormouse sneezes but not at anyone in particular, I think. I've never seen a undressed priest in any ballet and I'm not at all sure I want to. Possibly something Matthew Bourne or John Neumeier might dream up? Edited for typo.

zxDaveM Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 well, my question referred to the scarf swapping in Fille, that alerts Widow Simone to some shenanigins going on. Afterwards, also remembered the scarf put under a spell by Madge in La Sylphide... your turn Margaret N7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Wall Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Coppelia is, I think, the obvious answer ... but then I would suppose there are those who might suggest Don Q ... given that the hero seems sometimes defeated by life ... especially in the RB's three windmill assault.

LinMM Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I was thinking Coppelia initially but yes Don Q could do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capybara Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 In which ballet does the lead female character dance the final pas de deux with her eyes closed? Doesn't the girl in Spectre de la Rose dance throughout with her eyes closed as if she is asleep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anjuli_Bai Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Doesn't the girl in Spectre de la Rose dance throughout with her eyes closed as if she is asleep? I just checked it - when she is in the chair eyes are closed. But when she is dancing with the Rose, her eyes are opened - she often looks at him. This makes sense since in one's dream one would have open eyes. But that is an interesting question. Next "In which ballet........anyone?
