The Royal Ballet: Rhapsody pas de deux (Francesca Hayward and Marcelino Sambé)
Principals of The Royal Ballet Francesca Hayward and Marcleino Sambé perform the virtuosic pas de deux from Frederick Ashton’s Rhapsody.
Rhapsody was created in 1980 and is one of Frederick Ashton’s final works. It was created on acclaimed Russian dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, who requested the Ashton commission and whose personality is at the heart of the work. The male Principal role is characterized by exceptionally fluent leaps, turns and lightness of movement. It is twinned with the strength and grace of the ballerina, a role created on the pure, fleet-footed style of former Royal Ballet Principal Lesley Collier.
The ballet is set to Sergey Rachmaninoff’s well-known Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, which moves from stormy passages to calmer interludes. The premiere of Rhapsody was given at the Royal Opera House in honour of Ashton’s close friend Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, on the occasion of her 80th birthday. #royaloperahouse
