Clips from the Snow pas de deux I did this year, online for purposes of sharing with choreographers and artistic directors in the hopes that someday someone will want to put me on the stage again. I begged permission to have an early copy of the video and I know the director wasn’t the happiest to give it to me, so I might be taking it down relatively soon. But for now here she is: Zorica, Snow Queen.
So while I know nothing about ballet proper, I do know something about Tchaikovksy. Hearing the full mature soprano bel-canto singers in the Valse des flocons de neige (Act II Scene 2 No.9) turned my stomach. This has been, and always should be: children - specifically, boy sopranos.
On a lighter note, the pas de duex in the beginning of the video was very nice, but I must say all the whatever going on in the background is distracting. (After letter B - Act I Scene II no.8 Scène: Une forêt de sapins en hiver)
