Nasi wokubuka okuqhathanisa ezintathu Solo Shades kusukela uMbuso Shades saleli isenzo wesithathu “La Bayadère” – the traditional variations performed by Elizaveta Cheprasova, Yana Selina noDaria Vasnetsova ahlukahluka notated eyenziwa Leta Biasucci, Angelica Generosa futhi Carli Samuelson.
For those of who saw Sergei Vikharev’s 2001 kabusha “La Bayadère”, you’ll probably notice that the notated variations were not the ones performed in that reconstruction. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi Vikharev akazange nesigaba 100% emifanekisweni of “La Bayadère” noma “The Sleeping Beauty” – he retained many of the Soviet changes in both productions, ikakhulukazi “La Bayadère”. UMbuso Shades yesehlakalo kwakuyigolide version Soviet, not Petipa’s version.
ngokusobala, isizathu esiyinhloko Vikharev agcinwayo eziningi izinguquko zaseSoviet kokubili emifanekisweni kwaba ngoba abadansi Mariinsky kanye nabaqeqeshi bonke babengaphansi madolonzima kakhulu ahlukane nobuciko bokusina Soviet, so the ballerinas announced “all the same, we’re going to dance what we’re used to!” In the end, poor Vikharev retained many of the Soviet changes because he very likely would’ve got nothing, but grief if he hadn’t; Kingdom of the Shades yesehlakalo iyisibonelo esivelele lapho nobuciko bokusina notated Akazange abuyiselwe. I feel so sorry for him – to do all that hard work and then have people just throw it back in your face like that; it’s so awful.
kunjalo, the performances of the notated variations for the Three Shades is from one of Doug Fullington’s brilliant lectures held in New York, lapho yena kabusha nezigcawu umdanso izindima “Le Corsaire”, “inkosi Candaules” futhi “La Bayadère”.
*I Shades amathathu
The notated variations for the Three Shades are not the ones that would’ve been danced in the original 1877 version, kodwa kunalokho labo we ballerinas ngubani wasina nabo 1900 imvuselelo nalabo ballerinas babe Varvara Rykhliakova, Agrippina Vaganova futhi Anna Pavlová. Ngokuqinisekile, ezithakazelisayo kanjani ukwahluka kuphakathi washintsha noma bahlala iyafana eminyakeni.
1. Varvara Rykhliakova – ukushintshashintsha wakhe ishintshile ucishe ngu 50% eminyakeni; it is yesibili abaningi bawushintsha ka ukwahluka ezintathu.
2. Agrippina Vaganova – her variation is the one that has changed far less over the years. This obviously must’ve been one of Vaganova’s favourite variations, ngakho-ke ukuze, she didn’t change it very much. Ngokuthakazelisayo, Petipa didn’t like Vaganova as a dancer; njalo ukhuluma ukusebenza yakhe Diaries yakhe, he always calls them “awful” or “dreadful”. ngokusobala, Vaganova akazalwanga nge talent yemvelo yayingowesifazane kakhulu ezilahlayo, kodwa ngisho ngakho, the St Petersburg balletomanes and critics called her the “Queen of Variations”. Njengoba Doug waveza kule inkulumo, her variation indicates that she must’ve been quite a jumper.
3. Anna Pavlova – her variation is the one that has changed the most over time, ne Umehluko osobala kokuba ukuthi ukushintshashintsha wakhe wayedabuka ngokushesha okuningi kunalokho oyikho namuhla. Pavlova was one of Petipa’s favourite ballerinas and interestingly, kwaba indima Nikiya ukuthi esingu wakhe waduma. Petipa wamupha indima 1902, kakhulu becasukile ka Mathilde Kschessinskaya, who was not the type who liked to be upstaged in what she considered to be “her” roles. Noma kunjalo, wavuma umqeqeshi Pavlová e indima, ngokuyinhloko ngoba wayengakwazi ukudansa kusukela wayekhulelwe ngesikhathi. Kschessinskaya kubhekwe Pavlová ukuba ngobuchwepheshe ubuthaka ngenxa yezilingo isithombe bese encane namaqakala yakhe ebuthaka futhi ngaqiniseka ukuthi umdansi abasha sizongishiya njengoba Nikiya, kodwa wayesanda proven embi kakhulu lena. Pavlová wanika Petipa konke akwenzileyo ubefunwa Nikiya nokubukeka kwakhe ababuthaka emzimbeni wazibonakalisa abasebenzela indima, ikakhulukazi eMbusweni Shades yesehlakalo. Izethameli wamthanda ne Pavlová ethereal futhi kanjalo, inkanyezi wazalwa. Nikiya indima yokugcina Pavlová bathokoza kanye Ballet Imperial e 1914.
