The Mariinsky Theatre is preparing a major premiere – a reconstruction of Marius Petipa’s ballet “The Pharaoh’s Daughter”. The four-act performance was staged in St. Petersburg in 1862. The premiere shows will take place on the new stage of the Mariinsky. On March 26, the part of the Pharaoh’s daughter Aspicia will be performed by Ekaterina Kondaurova, and the young Egyptian Taor will be performed by Vladimir Shklyarov. We recorded this episode with Vladimir Shklyarov when all the details about the upcoming premiere were still kept secret. That's why we'll show the Mariinsky Theatre principal dancer and prima ballerina Ekaterina Kondaurova rehearsing Mikhail Fokine's ballet Scheherazade, and at the same time we'll talk to Vladimir about his twentieth season at the theatre, how important it is for the viewer to look at the stage and not at the phone screen, about the artist's devastation and pangs of conscience after the performance, and also about the happiness when people love each other not for something, but just like that. #vladimirshklyarov #ballet #mariinskytheater 0:00 Vladimir Shklyarov, Mariinsky Theatre principal dancer 0:20 Rehearsal of Vladimir Shklyarov and Ekaterina Kondaurova 1:32 "A profession where you have to prove your worth every time" 3:53 Theatrical entourage instead of meaning 5:17 What do you need to know when coming to the theatre? 8:38 It is important to look at the stage, not at the phone screen 11:22 Whose performances does Vladimir go to at the Mariinsky Theater? 12:50 "A good ballet, only 16 minutes" 14:15 On the importance of life experience for a ballet dancer 17:24 The secret of Romeo's spectacular fall 19:51 On devastation or pangs of conscience after performances 21:40 "We leave all the performances outside the door of the house" 23:02 The twentieth season at the Mariinsky and coming to the theater 26:14 "Artists - we are all big children" 28:35 Theater as a fulcrum 30:03 About cats and children in the family of two ballet dancers 34:37 Ballet "Palimpsest.
