Description

Performed in 1981 by Rudolf Nureyev and re-created specifically for the Bolshoi by French choreographer Pierre Lacotte, Marco Spada, or the Bandits Daughter is a grandiose and unique ballet both on a technical and dramatic level: complex choreography, five lead roles created for five principals, several changes in scenery, the participation of nearly all the Corps de ballet, and even the presence of animals on stage With its scenes of pantomime, devilish intrigue, rejected suitors, kidnapping heroines, rebellion, and lovers misunderstandings, Marco Spada is a fresh and joyful ballet to discover. The american soloist David Hallberg stars as Marco Spada with Evguenia Obraztsova, Olga Smirnova, Semion Chudin and the Corps de ballet of the Bolshoi Ballet.

Superb Performance Of A Great Ballet Revival!
I love Pierre Lacotte's revivals of the 19th century French ballets! If we trust Lacotte's scholarship in researching the history of these ballets(I do) and his immense choreographic talent, we get an amazing glimpse into the past of ballet(perhaps the type of ballets Marius Petipa and his father used to dance in themselves!). But Lacotte is the first to admit that today's staging involves many modern improvements, such as lighting, scenery, costumes, casting, and the uniform excellence of the dancers(both in technique and physical condition) and musicians(again, both in technique and the condition of their equipment). So, we see these revivals with modern eyes, and that makes it all the better. Lacotte revived this ballet in the 1980's and it was performed with Nureyev and Lacotte's wife, Ghislaine Thesmar. It was also put on DVD and is available through Amazon.com.(I wish her La Sylphide would come out on DVD!) This new DVD has a great special feature showing some of Nureyev's performance of Marco Spada and also reahearsals with Hallberg and Obraztsova. Lacotte also explains all about the ballet. The dancing is absolutely magnificent here! It is virtually non-stop bravura solos, pas de deux, and divertissement, as well as mime and a very clear presentation of the story through the action. The staging, costumes, and music are equally great. This is a stunning ballet! The music was composed by Auber, who was one of the great French composers of operas and some of his operas had dance scenes. The music for those scenes as well as music Auber, himself, adapted for ballet is what we hear used in some ballets with music attributed to him. Marco Spada's music was adopted by Auber himself, but other famous ballets, like the "Grand Pas Classique" uses Auber's music adopted by others( Victor Gsovsky in the case of Grand Pas Classique). Auber's music is exciting and lyrical, perfect for ballets. This is a must-have DVD! ... show more

A wonderful Performance
My wife and I are very pleased with this DVD. The music is beautiful and is played beautifully. When combined with the beautiful dances and the wonderful performances, the overall effect is enthralling and very enjoyable. We have watched this performance many, many times, and we seem never to tire of it, or fail to be pleased. Each of the five major dancers is excellent and brings unique strengths and beauty to his or her performance. The filming and sound quality are fine and the sets and costunes are beautiful and pleasing. Overall, the Bolshoi and Pierre Lacotte have put on a great performance, with a wonderful group of stars, and it is great to have such easy access to it all. From personal perspectives, we were most pleased with the performances of Semydon Chudin (Prince Federici) and Olga Smirnova (the Marchesa). They are a delight to watch. I highly recommend this DVD. ... show more

Technically good dancers, madiocre everything else
I agree with M. Paley. A rather mediocre ballet. But the dancers are great. Like it better now. Yes, the ballet is mediocre and so is the music, but it is worth it watching the dancers.

Delightful Display of a Divine Danseur (and the Prima Ballerina Ain't Shabby, either)
A lavish 2014 Bolshoi Ballet revival by Pierre LaCotte (French Opera Ballet) of a 19th century tragi-comic frou-frou piece worth seeing simply to revel in the extraordinary physical elegance and exquisite French-honed technique of American premiere danseur noble David Hallberg, ground-breaking Principal Dancer of BOTH the Bolshoi Ballet and American Ballet Theatre. ... show more

Superlative performance
I originally saw this performance at the cinema. Had to have it to see him dance it again. In case you didn't know, the premier dancer is an American with the Bolshoi Ballet. (He may be the first) He's right up there with Nureyev and Baryshnikov.

Incredible ballet production.
extraordinary production from the Bolshoi. Recent creation from Pierre Lacotte of the Ballet de l'Opera national de Paris, this is a magnificent production of Auber's ballet recreating the opulence of the late 19th century ballet world in Europe. A MUST HAVE.
