When Roland Petit choreographs it as a ballet, it becomes such a wonderful ballet. Recorded: May 2005, Bolshoi Theatre Time: 133 minutes Screen: Full screen, good picture quality ★ Contents "The Queen of Spades" Ballet "The Queen of Spades" using Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6 "Pathétique" throughout, not the opera of the same name. Roland Petit liked the story of people whose fate was ruined by this card, and once made it into a ballet, but he was not satisfied with the result. When he was asked by the Bolshoi Ballet to turn the story into a ballet, Petit reread Pushkin's original work and wrote a new script. And, convinced that the "Pathétique" symphony was the most suitable for the story, he created a wonderful ballet. "Passacaglia" In 1994, Roland Petit presented a ballet with music by Berg, Webern, and Schoenberg at the Paris Opera. He proposed to perform Webern's "Passacaglia," which was a great success at this performance, at the Bolshoi as well. It is a very complex work, difficult for both the choreographer and the dancers, and especially the dancers require the highest level of technique, but the performance by the Bolshoi dancers fully satisfied Petit's demands. 【Cast】 "The Queen of Spades" - Music...Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6 "Pathétique" Based on Pushkin's original work, script by Roland Petit Hermann: Nikolai Tsiskaridze Countess: Ilze Liepa Lisa: Svetlana Lunkina Chekalinsky: Georgy Geraskin "Passacaglia" - Music...Webern Svetlana Lunkina Jan Godowski Dancers of the Bolshoi Ballet Vladimir Andropov (Conductor) Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra
