The ballet was put on the novel by the Hugo "Cathedral of the Paris Mother of God", but the main emphasis here was made on Esmeralda - her story, her feelings, her life and death. However, Notre Dame is also present here - as decorations. Excellent solutions of different fragments of architecture and interior. I really liked the view of Paris from the height of the cathedral, Mosaic and Garguli.

The story begins with the abduction of Little Escold Gypsies at her mother. However, it is difficult to call it difficult to call - gypsy counted humullion dead, so I took the girl so that the baby would not die. As for exactly how the pain of the mother, who lost the child, was playing, when the child wakes up and understands that there are no daughters. Takes to tears.

Time is coming, Esmeralda grows and in one "beautiful" evening gets acquainted with Fets. And this scene is simply charming: an impressive, confident (I would even say - the arrogant) FEB and a tender, fragile girl who first experienced the trembling feelings for a man. As surprising and perfectly shown, the shy of Esmeralda at first, timidity, naivety, indecision, excitement and fear before that suddenly it happened - the full range of feelings from confusion to love. The transformation of cheerful, mischievous and carefree gypsy in a loved girl occurs in front of the viewer. I want to put a phrase from the French musical (not notre-lady, however): et voilà qu "Elle Aime ...

On her background, Fleur de Lis looks contrast. As far as they have a party: in every movement you can see a confident girl who knows his status and his charm, who knows how to like men and understands how to behave with them, methodically and flirtary attracting the fub to the altar. No, she did not seduce him - she just knew that he would be with her. And, despite the charm of a young girl, Fleur de Lis is a clear picture of the young lady, brought up by all the rules of etiquette of the time. They and Phoebe, really fit each other - one field of berries. If Esmeralda is touching in his coquetty, then Fleur de Lis-Jemmane. The most amazing in everything is that the nature of each, tonality and individual peculiarities of the nature are shown solely with the help of plastics. So it is expressive that, it seems, and not knowing the novel, you can immediately understand what.

Beautiful lots of all up to one. Until now, with the sinking heart I remember how they literally flew on stage. In the thoughts unwittingly flashed: it's how much you need to train to jump so much! Especially when synchronous jumps. Separately, I would like to note the costumes: bright, elegant, colored, creating a special atmosphere and color. Yes, lovers of the "Swan Lake" lovers forgive me, but look more than two hours on Pa de de comrades in white robes - longing mortal, though the classic "classical". There are so many emotions in every detail, this spirit captures from the unimaginable harmony of color, sound and movement that you do not notice how almost three hours of time flies (the ballet goes around 2.50, including 2 intermission). Mass scenes on the square reminded the ballet "Don Quixote" in its coloring and energy.

Here Quasimodo and Frollo roam somewhere on the periphery, playing a decisive role only at certain points. All attention is paid to her - excellent Esmerald. Do not laugh, she is really beautiful! It is necessary to be able to show without words, but only the dance of all the states of the soul. Here it is an excited, graceful, air with a feb, sensual, frank. But in the dungeon, when Frollo comes to her to be happy about love, she is already decisive, volitional and, without Bearing this word, free nature. Gorgeous scene in prison! As she crawled from Frollo, he dug away from his barely - to the trembling, so natural. I still do not understand how it could be pushed into ballet, but you can!

Spectators shouted "Bravo!" And the completion of each painting was met with stormy applause. When the artists went out to bow, the hall is applauded. And if a quasi-modo arranged a ovation, like the Folk Avenger (still remember, what ended the novel?), Then when an Esmeraldy appears, the hall just roared and threw out of the feelings. She really was amazing! So much to stand three hours on the gallery, without tearing off the eye from the scene (yes, I got a front-end ticket, a standing, without a place, because the premiere and anchlag), and we had such a person 20. Not that it was absolutely impossible, but Not the whole scene is visible from the extreme balcony, and this ballet is worth it to see it entirely and completely, listening to each element.

Three hours of indescribable delight!
Thank you!

Libretto

The libretto of the ballet is written by the balletmaster Jul Perso based on the opera libretto V. Gyu "Esmeralda", in turn found on his novel "Cathedral of the Paris Mother of God."

The ballet version includes some novel motifs not used by the Hugo when processing it for the opera. However, as in Opera, the fate of ballet Esmeralda ends well: at the last moment it saves Phoeb (after that, unlike the opera libretto, it does not die and the heroes are reunited).

In the rest of the libretto, PRRR has been practically not subsected: the main changes related to the introduction of additional scenes, designed to give a dance characteristic of the Frollo Claude and Quasimodo, initially operating exclusively in the field of pantomime, and the paintings of the life of medieval Paris. The specified layout of the basic events of the novel on three acts remained almost unchanged.

Music

For the first stage, the musical score created the Italian composer Caesar Puni.

During the period of scenic life in Russia, ballet was supplemented with inserted numbers to the music of various composers.

In 1886 and 1899, renewing the performance in the Mariinsky Theater M. I. Petipa commissioned R. Dryigo Write new numbers for the second act - Variations for Fleur de Lis and her two friends in "Dance with baskets" and Pas De Six Esmeralda, Grenguara and Four Gypsies, replaced by the previously existing Pas de Deux from the music. Puni. Later variation in the "dance with baskets" were replaced in separate performances to the plug-in (at the request of performers)

The musical structure of the last resumption of Petipa became canonical. It was from it that was repelled when creating all subsequent versions of the performance.

In 1926, for the placement of the ballet in the Bolshoi Theater R. M. Gliere re-orchestrated Puni's score - Dryigo and made several inserts in it. In 1950, Sergey Vasilenko was once again done the same work. Since then, theaters are commonly used by their editions. In 2006, the Music edition of V. Kachevov was performed in the performance of the Kremlin Ballet Theater.

In 2009, when setting a ballet in the Bolshoi Theater, the new concept of ballet musical drama was developed by Y. Burlaca, on the basis of the original Puni score, restored by Alexander Troitsky on archival materials of the Library of the Conservatory of San Pietro and Mayell in Naples and the Music Library of the Bolshoi Theater of Russia.

Subsequent deculations

Shielding

In 1994, the statement of Boyarchikov was shielded by the Studio "Lenelefilm".
In the film-ballet, the roles were performed: Esmeralda - E. M. Khabibulin, Phoeb - K. K. Kontrashnikov, Fleur de Les - A. K. Kondrashova, Grenguar - A. V. Kuligin, Claude Frollo - A. V. Konstantinov, Quasimodo - A. B. Bregvadze, Klopen Trulifu - I. Yu. Solovyov.
The director of television was made by Evgenia Popov.

Recording Petipa

During the first quarter of the 20th century, the original Petipa statement was recorded on the Stepanov system by the director of the ballet troupe N. G. Sergeyev (the records of individual fragments are dated in the interval of 1903-23.).

Today, the choreographic notation of "Esmeralda" is included in the "Collection of Sergeeva" and is kept in the Harvard Theater Library.

In 2009, the Materials of the Harvard Collection were used by Y. Burlaka during the work on "Esmeralda" in the Bolshoi Theater (Ballets. Yu. Burlaka and D. Medvedev). However, their version cannot be considered the restoration of the play M. I. Petipa.

Famous fragments

Pas De Six.

Pas De Six Esmeralda, Grenguard and four gypsies from the second ballet act often executed as a concert number. This composition on Drigo music was posed by Petipa in 1886, for V. Tsukki and replaced the previously existing Pas de Deux in the music. Puni, with the choreography Perra (was performed by Esmeralda with a Grenguar or a nameless soloist).

Pas De Six is \u200b\u200bthe only fragment of the Petipa, considered "canonical" and reproducible in most editions unchanged. A feature of the choreography Pas de Six is \u200b\u200bthat, unlike many other dance ensembles in classic ballets, it requires from the ballerina of the acting game, parallel to the dance: I am depicting the gypsy dancing to noble guests, it must be a fault of despair at the same time encompassing Esmeraldu at the sight of Feka and his bride.

The most famous moment Pas de Six'a is the final part of the Esmeralda variation: the ballerina back forward moving on the pointers on the shallow Pas de Bourre Suivi snake, retreating deep into the scene, then through the center of the scene comes forward and, depriving the feelings, falls on his knee.

Pas de Dian (Pas de Deux Diana and Acton)

An independent life gained Pas de Deux Diana and the acton, put in 1935 by Vaganova to the music of Puni from the ballet "Tsar Kandavl", based on the statement of the Petipa and using the female variation from the "dance with baskets" (music. Dream, Choreogr. Petipa).

In the original play, Vaganova soloists accompanied the ensemble of corpal dancers - the nymph, which is missing in the concert version of the room.

Pas de Deux

The concerts also performs Pas de Deux Grenguard and Esmeralda to Muses. Puni (or separately - variation with tambourine from this Pas de Deux). Many mistakenly accept this number for a part of the play of the Petipa, although in fact it was created in 1954 by Nikolai Berezov, who set up his own version of Esmeralda in London.
