Description

1. 1 videocassette (VHS, NTSC) (100 min.) : sd., col. ; 1/2 in.

Summary

1. Rehearsal of excerpts from Rudolf Nureyev's ballet Cinderella. The ballet's repetiteurs, including Nureyev (in cap and poncho) are often glimpsed onstage. The tape opens with Cinderella's Chaplin/Astaire solo and the Spring sequence from Act I. Excerpts from Act III, some of which are danced more than once, begin at ca. 4 min. into the tape. In the second repetition of the Spanish sequence, beginning at ca. 18 min., the ballerina wears practice clothes rather than her red flamenco costume. In the close shot of the final pas de deux beginning at ca. 50 min., some sections of the choreography are marked rather than danced full-out. Excerpts from Act II begin at ca. 57 min.
