Raymonda
Raymonda (Russian: Раймонда) is a ballet in three acts, four scenes with an apotheosis, choreographed by Marius Petipa, with music by Alexander Glazunov, his opus 57. First presented by the Imperial Ballet at the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre on 19 January [O.S. 7 January] 1898 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The ballet was created especially for the benefit performance of the Italian ballerina Pierina Legnani, who created the title role. Among the ballet's most celebrated passages is the Pas classique hongrois (a.k.a. Raymonda Pas de dix) from the third act, which is often performed independently. Today Raymonda is performed by ballet companies throughout the world in versions that are derived primarily from the Kirov Ballet's 1948 production as staged by Konstantin Sergeyev, whose edition of the choreography remains the standard text for several notable productions, including those staged by Rudolf Nureyev and Anna-Marie Homes, respectively. Sergeyev greatly altered, and in some cases changed entirely, Marius Petipa's choreography, particularly in the dances for the corps de ballet. The original choreography and mise-en-scène of the Imperial Ballet's production of Raymonda was recorded in the Stepanov method of choreographic notation around 1903 as Petipa himself took dancers through rehearsals, among them the ballerina Olga Preobrajenska, who danced the title role. This notation is part of Harvard University's Sergeyev Collection. In 2011 Sergei Vikharev utilized this notation to stage an almost totally complete reconstruction of the original 1898 production for the Teatro alla Scala.
