Minkus ballet "Don Quixote" had God knows how long it goes well on the stage of the Mariinsky Theatre of St. Petersburg.And the whole story of the ballet at this stage is divided into two periods: "before" and the period "after".
period "before" characterized by the fact that Don Quixote and Sancho Panza traveled across the stage, respectively, on a horse and a donkey.And the horse and the donkey were alive, real, warm.Period "after" is characterized by the fact that Don Quixote and Sancho Panza around the stage hanging around on foot.Not nice gentleman, and some pilgrims.Where are the horse and the donkey?Died?Devoured by predators?
Version mysterious disappearance from the scene of a horse and a donkey breed like mushrooms after rain.I received information about the incident from his cousin, who was working at the Mariinsky Theatre illuminator.He argues that it was so.I do not know.For I bought, as they say, for and sold.
So heartbreaking event to share the story of the play in the "before" and "after", there was, it seems, in 1980 Olympic year.Until the day on each presentation of "Don Quixote" discharged from the circus are well behaved, accustomed to public horse and a donkey.But that ill-fated day, the horse fell ill.The administration of the theater, it is not thinking about the consequences, rented a horse from some equestrian section.Too good well-trained animal.M-yes!
If it were not for one thing.The beast turned the mare.It was discovered only when already sounded the overture.What a change it was too late.
Have you ever tried to convince anything craving for female affection ass?It is easier to teach a cockroach dance Jewish dances.
In the first joint appearance on the scene of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza the ass, feeling the fresh one filly, madly excited.Uttering heart-rending roar, he reared up, throwing off Sancho.After that, from the beginning of its underbelly to get out something incredible in size and very obscene in appearance.The donkey began to climb back on the mare, which clearly did not mind to produce a mule.
Don Quixote, feeling the attack from the rear, showed the wonders of trick riding and some wild leap flew out of the saddle.Sancho, spinal cord sensed what was coming, he began to pull the donkey's tail.But the donkey did not give a damn.By this time he was already in the right hole on the body of a mare and worked with the intensity of a jackhammer.
From somewhere in the room there was a heart-rending shrieking women.Someone shouted: "Close the curtain!"Conductor mechanically kept waving his arms, his eyes fixed on the scene dissolved madness.The orchestra launched their heads 180 degrees and unabashedly stared at the scene.Music has published a couple of bars and dying quietly died, replaced by a madman cackling coming from the orchestra pit.Firefighters began to roll across the stage with a view to the sleeve senses unrestrained ass with water.
In general, the curtain closed just two minutes later.During these two minutes on the stage of the famous Kirov Academic Theatre was observed the following:
donkey with a triumphant roar dotrahivaet wearily closed his eyes mare.Sancho Panza pulls a donkey's tail, causing the whole scene looks like a tug of war.In the corner of the stage, clutching his head and swaying from side to side, sitting on the floor completely mad Don Quixote.Firefighters, exhausted with laughter, rolled out hoses, and behind the scenes the director heard the cry: "Rather, bitches !!! Most !!!! I'll kill everyone on x .. !!!"From the orchestra pit is not even heard laughter and some gurgling.Conductor, yielding general riot, was dancing on its stand and openly rooting for the donkey.Finally the curtain closes.Half of the audience is outraged, third (mainly old maids) are in a swoon, and the rest need to open the curtain, as they say, paid the money and have the right to watch it all.All.That's all over.The following presentation of Don Quixote and Sancho walked.How many goals flew after that ill-fated day - is unknown, and it does not matter.
