includes some of ballet’s most cherished variations. (Hands up if you learned “Bluebird” as your first variation ever!) This month in 1890, Petipa’s ballet premiered at the Imperial Theatre, and it became a favorite first in Russia and eventually around the world.
Let’s celebrate with this video of the incomparable Sylvie Guillem dancing Aurora’s wedding pas de deux variation with the Paris Opéra Ballet.
