Magia russa!! Solo al Bolshoi poteva accadere uno spettacolo di tanta meraviglia e splendore!!

Wonderful choreography with the music. Great dancers. The set is reminiscent of the German Expressionism films in the 20's-30's. A work of artistic genius. Bravi.

I am extremely impressed by not only the beauty of the ballet, but the expertise of the filmmaker who cut and spliced and filmed this ballet! Beauty in all art expressions!

Aside from the wonderful choreography, and gorgeously simple yet lavish costumes, can we take a moment to marvel at the fact that the dancers spend about 95% of the ballet maintaining this flamenco type posture, back bent backwards ?! It enhances the spanish vibe so much, but that must have been exhausting... I also like the inclusion of that brief rehearsal clip, well done ! I am still very partial to Bejart's choreography, but still, this one is stunning.

Incredible! Seduction, Selection, in hypnotic music beautifully portrayed. I relished every gesture, every 32nd triplet of Ravel's Bolero due to corps de ballet.

Beautifully done…..I have loved this music for 70 years and have never seen anything like this done before…Bravo!

This remains my favorite dance interpretation of Bolero. Choreography and performance are absolutely mesmerizing, exciting, and beautiful, truly perfect and timeless!!!

Просто шедевр! Настоящий! Хореография, артистизм, костюмы, пластика! ХАРАКТЕРЫ! Молодцы все те, кто сохранил этот спектакль!

Que espectáculo maravillosa interpretación la fuerza y el garbo de la danza. La coreografía espectacular, bueno es el Bolshói!👏💕❤️🌹🌹🌹🇨🇷

Fantastic, nobody mentioned Corps and they were perfect, such coordination ... love the choreography

Невозможно глаз оторвать!! Блестящее представление!!!

AMAZING!! found this by chance. had no idea the Bolshoi had produced something like this. Kholina really gets the flamenco spirit in her pose. Mesmerizing. Bravo!

Замечательно, финал балета очень красив - прекрасны и солисты, и кордебалет! Спасибо!

La interpretación coreográfica del Bolero de Ravel es magnífica

Spectacular, musical, entertaining and hypnotic.

Hermosa representación. Demasiado perfecto el baile.

What great dresses. How on Earth is so much fabric lined up so well. Never bulky

50 years have passed and this remains a real gem... thank you so much for posting the video. Marvelous artistry, brilliant flamenco-like paso doble, splendid choreography, fantastic creativity, mind-numbingly wonderful soulfulness and passion; both larger than life charismatic personas. Woowww...I must rewind the tape...

WOW-Now this is ART; SUPERB!!!!!!!!!!

Fascinating to read all of the conflicting feedback about this choreography. I have watched this multiple times over the last few days, gradually noticing the many things that make it, I think, brilliant, beautiful and breathtaking. This choreographer simply loves dance. Definitely a "bird thing" happening here too, hahaha. I love that little bit in the rehearsal hall, and the beginning and end of this are pure magic. Wow, wow, wow.

Ich habe schon sehr viele schoene Transkriptionen des Boleros gesehen. Z.B.diese legendaere Fassung von Maurice Bejart,aber der Einfall und riesige,kunstvolle Leistung des Theaters Bolshoi hat mich total bewundert! Ich bedanke mich bei Ihnen fuer diese artistischen Erlebnisse,die Sie mir beschenkt haben.Bolshoie spasiba,mołodcy!

КРАСОТА !!!!! Благодарим!

É tudo tão bonito ,desde a coreografia,figurinos,cenário,ângulos da câmera até a maravilhosa e imortal melodia de Ravel e o Ballet Bolshoi,fantástico! Obrigada por compartilhar!❤

Brilliant! Elena has total command in this performance.

What a fantastic production: choreography, execution, cinematography. Funny to think: Ravel was the first composer that I loved, and this was what got me into him. I then bracnhed out to his other work, forgetting this. But this brought me back. Genius.

Unbelievable choreography,.... really Spanish feeling...great !

Это Советский балет - самый лучший в Мире!!!

Elena Kholina is ...so perfect....i can't say anymore...

Holy shit! 1960s Russia meets 1930s Hollywood meets 1920s France doing 19th Century Spain. Love it.

Elena Kholina perfeita! Coreografia espetacular!!! Gostaria de parabenizar a todos os bailarinos que apresentaram essa maravilha!

Смотрю и слушаю постоянно, это просто ..... ❤❤❤

I really enjoy how, for once, the choreography really reflects and enhances the great music. Lovely!

Maravilloso, aplausos... muy hermoso regalo para los ojos y para los oídos, gracias!!!

I can not dance to save my life but this is truly marvelous,beautiful and beyond excellent.

This is my favorite piece of dancers and music together. I love how the number of dancers increased as the music intensifies. Bolero was introduced to me by my band teacher many, many decades ago and will always be my favorite piece of music.

can we spare a moment for the magnificent perfect exquisite dress and the way Elena uses it????

DIVINA APRESENTACION CON UNA DOCIS DEL FLAMENCO EN EL ALMA DE RAVEL UNA BELLEZA DE ESPECTACULO

In 2023, this is masterful…but having been cheorographed and performed by the standards of music/ballet theatre then in 1967; this is STUNNINGLY SPOT ON! BRAVO!

Creo q el coreógrafo debió llevarse de España una pareja de los 'typical spanish dance figures' que antiguamente adornaban las casas españolas y tras una borrachera se dijo, voy a hacer un homenaje a mis muñequitos!!! Jaajaajaa!!! Después de ver este vídeo no me queda claro si le gustaba el baile flamenco o todo lo contrario. La bailarina y su vestuario son absolutamente elegantes e incluso vigentes (aunque después de la filmación debió quedar bastante contracturada su columna), pero lo de los bailarines no tiene nombre 🤣🤣 De verdad, me he reído con ellos un montón!!! De cualquier forma, gracias, digno de ver, los rusos siempre demuestran buena formación y pulcritud en la danza y sé que les gusta mucho la española. El toque expresionista del conjunto es genial. Al fin y al cabo es el Bolshoi!! 💃

Cool and classy Elena Kholina perfectly demonstrates how to "play hard to get", Spanish Style

Великолепно! That's just amazing

One of the most amazing dance performances ever

Que cosa tan maravillosa , que forma de hacer de una obra maestra , algo excepcional , quede maravillada porque a pesar del tiempo esa interpretación es única .

El flamenco no se puede aprender, pero si el increíble espectáculo de su baile maravilloso!!!!

Чудесный балет!!!

...AND kudos to the costume designer, because that dress is killllling me.

One of favor so beautiful love the music and the dancers thank you 😊 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Super wow! No podía ser menos, viniendo del mejor ballet del mundo!

Bolero de Ravel SEMPRE Bolero de Ravel!!! Impressionante. Arriba meu POVO Cigano!!!! Gratidão por viver esse momento sublime.

Just wonderful dance and choreography

It translates an intense mating process into a stunning art presence … perhaps far exceeded Ravel’s expectation. Exceptional leading dancer.

just very lovely, elegance impressive, very ,very touching

Brilliant production and choreography ‼️

Looks like male birds strutting around trying to get the females attention !! Very good! Dress is great!

Wow, I'm really impressed by the technical perfection of this performance! The choreography is highly sophisticated and full of humour! It's no co-incidence that Bolshoi is seen as the world's best ballet ensemble, next to Kirov, in classical dances! Although the piece is from 1967, the stauning choreography is timeless!

Loved it…it was like watching the best telenovela ever! BRAVISIMO!!!!!

Kholina & Radchenko were the best "spanish" of the BT at that period.

Героиня весь танец танцевала с полусогнутой спиной, было такое ощущение, что она опиралась на свою юбку, какая молодец!!!! Классная хореография,бравооо !!!!!! Мне очень понравилось : ))

I can watch it 10,000 times

Мызыка, хореграфия, исполнение, все❤❤❤

I think this splendid performance is fairly unique however, the stage becomes "rather crowded" ! For myself, I do enjoy this performance & shall save it for future enjoyment. This will become my 7th save on Revel's "Bolero". Yeah, I am a big fan!!! Thank you Bolshoi & the orchestra and of course as I always say, "and the commenters as well. Sincerely I remain, Sentebey in Los Angeles, California

UN ABRAZÓ FRATERNO SIEMPRE. AMÉRICA LATINA. BALLET CLÁSICO. RUSSO BOLSHOE.QUIZÁ EL MEJOR DEL MUNDO. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹))))

Восхитительный танец! Великолепное исполнение. С национальным колоритом и характером! Какая завораживающая грация, жгучий темперамент, прекрасные костюмы. И это 60-е годы прошлого века! Браво!

The choreography is more like a montage of Carmen (by G. Bizet).What a tribute to Spanish dance !!!, much appreciated.
