I just watched half last night and it was just so very brilliant and very different from British and American ballet company productions. Aurora's ability to stay perfectly steady for those moments when she passes from one suitor to the next standing on point on one foot...not a quiver...astonishing! Looking forward to watching the rest tonight. Your channel is like getting a giant box of my favourite chocolates...thank you so much for sharing! 🙏🏼❤️🤗😍

Принцесса Аврора и принц Дезире! Все  феи ( даже злая карабос)  а также все герои "спящей красавицы"! Больше спасибо  за  то что посетили свою поклонницу ❤❤❤

Прекрасный балет, безупречная игра всех танцоров, великолепные костюмы. Русский балет — это прекрасный культурный опыт.

What did they do to the stage that the shoes are squeaking so loudly?

The orchestral sound at the beginning of the Prologue is incredibly poorly balanced. The percussion is far too loud. It gets better as the section progresses, but the orchestra is never as well recorded as that in several other productions, that at La Scala, for example. The note that because of copyright restrictions portions of the audio have been muted may explain some, but not all of the problems.
I'll comment here on only one more element: the casting of a male as Carabosse, the evil, or wicked, fairy. Evil doesn't not have to be ugly. In fact, in the La Scala production, the role is taken by Sylvia Galasso, who is, to my mind a perfect Carabosse. Handsome, but not beautiful, she is arrogant, deeply offended at not having been invited to the christening and determined to wreak revenge. She's so effective that having seen her, I can no longer be content with a male in the role.
I recommend that viewers look at two other productions of "Beauty": the one at La Scala, to which I've referred above. It was choreographed by Rudolf Nureyev. The second production is by the Kirov/Mariinsky company in a performance at the Pelletier Hall in the Salle des Artes in Montreal in 1989, I believe. As a touring production it lacks some of the values of the Bolshoi version, videotaped in its home theatre.
Finally, I wish the cast and production information had been printed in the introductory matter. We know that Petipa choreographed they original staging, but it would be good to know who has made the revision(s) danced in the Bolshoi's production on view here. All that information is likely to scroll by after the conclusion of the performance. I may yet learn what I'd like to know.
