Raymonda

Raymonda

Raymonda ( _ru. Раймонда, the name of a main character) is a ballet in three acts, four scenes with an Apotheosis, choreographed by Marius Petipa, with music by Alexander Glazunov, his Opus 57. First presented by the Imperial Ballet at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre on January 7/19 , 1898 (Julian/Gregorian calendar dates) in St. Petersburg, Russia. The ballet is famous for its "Grand Pas Classique" known as the "Grand Pas Classique Hongrois" or "Raymonda Pas de Dix" from the third Act, which is often extracted from the full-length work to be performed independently.

History

Original Interpreters

The full-length "Raymonda" has been revived many times throughout its performance history, the most noted productions being staged by Mikhail Fokine for the Ballet Russe (1909); Anna Pavlova for her touring company (1914); George Balanchine and Alexandra Danilova for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo (1946); Konstantin Sergeyev for the Kirov Ballet (1948); Rudolf Nureyev for American Ballet Theatre (1975), and for the Paris Opera Ballet (1983); Yuri Grigorovich for the Bolshoi Ballet (1984); Anna-Marie Holmes (in a 2-act redaction) for the Finnish National Ballet (2004), a version which was then staged for American Ballet Theatre (2004) and the Dutch National Ballet (2005).

There have been many productions around the world of only extracts from the full-length "Raymonda", being for the most part taken from the "Grand Pas Classique Hongrois" from the third Act, which is considered to be among Marius Petipa's supreme masterworks. The most noted of these productions have been staged by George Balanchine for the New York City Ballet (1955, 1961, 1973); Rudolf Nureyev for the Royal Ballet Touring Company (1964); and Mikhail Baryshnikov for American Ballet Theatre (1980, 1987).

In 2005 the Australian Ballet Company performed a modern version of Raymonda, set in the 1950s, where Raymond is a Hollywood star and has filmed her last film before marrying a European prince. It was choreographed by Stephen Baynes and bears no resemblance to the original ballet.
