Maria Khoreva - Swan lake, Pas de trois

Pas de trois:
1. Intrada (or Entrée): Allegro
2. Andante sostenuto
3. Allegro semplice, Presto
4. Moderato
5. Allegro
6. Coda: Allegro vivace

The Grand Pas d’action of Act 1, scene 2 was originally choreographed by Lev Ivanov as a pas de deux à trois, in which Odette was partnered by both Prince Siegfried and Benno. It was not until Nikolai Legat succeeded Pavel Gerdt in the role of Prince Siegfried in the late 1890s that the lakeside pas d’action became a pas de deux as Legat chose to partner Odette alone and other danseurs would follow his example. The group of hunters, who accompanied Siegfried and Benno to the lake, also took part in the pas d’action, standing at the sides of the stage with the Swan Maidens.

Ivanov’s original Pas de deux à trois scheme was used in early to mid 20th century productions, with one example being several of Dame Ninette De Valois’s productions for the Sadler’s Wells Royal Ballet. In 1960, the second scene of this production was filmed with the pas de deux à trois performed by Dame Margot Fonteyn as Odette, Michael Somes as Prince Siegfried and Bryan Ashbridge as Benno. This was to be one of the final productions to stage Ivanov’s pas de deux à trois as it disappeared from Swan Lake thereafter and was replaced with the revived pas de deux for Odette and Siegfried. It was not until Alexei Ratmansky’s 2016 reconstruction that the pas de deux à trois reappeared on the ballet stage, circa. fifty years after its previous appearance.

Feet, legs, jumps, extensions, flexibility, musicality, lovely expressions and above all a remarkable strenght and fluidity in her dancing… she is really outstanding. And she doesn't look like she just graduated a few months ago, rather like a seasoned professional. Wow. just wow.

Congrats! Soon I hope to see you as Odette! I hope you will always be grateful to your teachers!

Very clean and fluent dancing.
Her body expression shows lightness.
Excellent interpretation.

What a light, weightless jump! What a perfect ballet body, what a port-de-bra! This is the next symbol of Russian ballet, to stay in history forever. We wish Masha lots of professional luck, best of opportunities and a teacher who would and could! nurture her special talent.

[susanpaul]

She repeatedly melts with gracious charm, jumps silently into arabesques, turns without effort....smiling sincerely the whole time...BRAVA!

Как видно, когда есть настоящая петербургская балетная школа с ее традициями. Можно посмотреть фотографии и видеозаписи великих балерин прошлого и увидеть это все в танце Марии. Замечательно, что это все живет и воплощается в наше время.

Once again she adds that special something to her dancing that is transfixing joyful. A blessing for sure.
