Raymonda: Grand Pas Hongrois

0 upcoming performances in New York

Often excerpted as a self-contained showpiece, the “Grand Pas Hongrois” is the Hungarian-flavored ballroom finale from *Raymonda*, the 1898 Petipa-Glazunov ballet set in a medieval court where Raymonda’s betrothal is tested by a rival suitor. In New York, it entered local ballet life through 20th-century revivals and gala programs, prized for its formal classicism and clear musical architecture. What matters here is not plot but structure: a public ritual of symmetry, display, and controlled virtuosity.
