    On July 14, 1910 died the great Russian choreographer MARIUS PETIPA. His physical form did, but the spirit lives on in his immortal creations: "La Bayadere", "The Sleeping Beauty", "Swan Lake" and "Raymonda".

    Marius Ivanovich Petipa is buried in Alexander Nevsky Monastery, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

    Patipa's Shades take their slow descend from the highest peaks of the Himalayan mountains. These are restless souls caught in the twilight world between life and death, dream and reality, thus doomed to wonder in this suspended state for eternity.

    Step-step, arabesque, epaulement back; step-step, arabesque, epaulement back… and so they go until they reach the plateau and here real magic begins.

    Mariinsky Ballet

    When Marius Petipa composed perhaps his greatest masterpiece, he was already an established ballet master, aka premier maître de ballet at the Imperial Theatre, St. Petersburg, Russia. Court composer Ludwig Minkus is responsible for the most moving score. The ballet was created in 6 months and was an instant popular success. How much a success, perhaps not even Petipa himself dared to hope. As it happens this exotic creation of his was destined for immortality.

    FACT SHEET:

    La Bayadère (The Temple Dancer)
    Choreography: Marius Petipa
    Music: Ludwig Mincus
    Libretto: Marius Petipa
    World Premiere: February 4, 1877. Imperial Kamenny Theatre, St. Petersburg, Russia.

      The ballet had been staged and re-staged by just about every major ballet company in the world. Among many noteworthy productions of the Petipa's original are the one by K. Sergeev for Kirov (Mariinsky) Theatre, R. Nureyev for Opera de Paris, Y. Grigorovich for The Bolshoi and N. Makarova for ABT. It is important to bare in mind, however, the fundamental difference which separates the choreographer of the original work from those who later adopted and adapted Petipa's work for theaters round the world.

Октавия, Вы поставили фото Смольного монастыря, а не Александро - Невской лавры.

Cпасибо,Octavia.Вот только опять грустно вспоминать о том,что памятник - то этот "смастерили" в советское время,а прах Петипа(якобы) перенесли в Лавру с уничтоженного католического кладбища,где,конечно же на могиле был крест...
