The character is totally captured in her line, her attack, her port de bras, and epaulement! Well done!

Wonderful Black Swan Pas de deux danced by these true great dancers 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌺💖🌹

Julio Bocca one of the most sexiest and talented dramatic dancers ever electric!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, this was in 2007 the last time Julio Bocca danced, so he finished his carrier by dancing for free to all of us Argentinian people win company of best dancers in the world in Avnia 9 de Julio, the most popular avenue in Buenos Aires. Over 200.000 people attended to this magnificent show, in my opinion after being there i can tell you it was unforgettable!!!! If you want to see one of my favourites acts, i recommend you to see... Pas de Deux Don Quijote: Julio Bocca y Tamara Rojo

What an excellent interpretation of Swan Lake by English artists! What a wonderful performance by Alina and Julio!

Wonderful phrasing, huge attack on both parts -- he's truly thrilling, and she's beyond anything -- such a tiny person eating upt hte stage like that. Amazing what they pull out of htemselves, and for each other. Wonderful connection between the two of them. Thank you for posting this

grossartig, alina cojocaru ist ein ballettwunder. solche tänzerinnen werden einem nur selten beschert. was ich auch auf youtube von ihr sehe ist absolut einmalig. oh mein gott, wie schön kann doch ballett sein

Julio Bocca is incredible!!!

She's sensational!

Beautiful graceful swan arm movements by this ballerina-she is fluid and technically pure-I love this performance-don't agree with comments below-thanks for sharing-

Bye bye from stage ( quite too late) sweet marvelous dancers. Never from our heart. All the best.

Soberbia interpretacion. No me canso de verla.

Amazing artists! Thank you.

El sonido es como si fuera submarino pero está chulo ver a estos dos grandes bailar

But the way she is so cute after foutte ..where she put the arms :)) like don quixote :)) he ehe ...Love you Alinaaaaaaa....

This is an AMAZING performance, even more so as I've never seen Alina Cojocaru as Odette/Odile. She embodies it all - brilliance yet never hard or brittle.

Gorgeous Ballerina! Pirouette turns and lines remind me of S. Guillem (save for the blooper😬@ 7:31-7:33 a clean single suffices there to avoid that type of moment...it's a gamble tho cause Alina C. is obvi FEARLESS). The conductor must've needed an immediate bathroom BREAK??!!! He is HAULING *SS musically. I've NEVER heard it played with that much urgency!!! Professionals HERE INDEED to keep up!!! Bravo Julio B.!!! Thank YOU for your inspiration!👏👏👏🙌

魅力溢れる美しすぎる黒鳥

AMAZING !!!

Alina is probably my favorite dancer right now! She's amazing! She's perfect in Giselle especially!!!!

No entiendo como todos se están matando por discutir tanto sobre Alina cuando Julio Bocca estuvo perfecto, incluso a esa edad y haciendo pasos que sólo él se atrevería a hacer en un escenario. Bravo por los dos.

Best musicality EVER!

increible Julio , El mejor and Only..uno de los tres mejores de la historia...

I love tiny ballerinas. Alina, Maria Kochetkova, Gelsey Kirkland. They seem to really float in a way that the taller ballerinas do not.

Alina İs FANTASTİC...

maravillosos!!!!!!!

beautiful extensions !

I agree 100%! It's a brilliant interpretation as well as a logical one. =D

uno de los 3 mejores de la hishoria del ballet !

Alina, I think that you are a great Odile, no matter what the people are saying! And the reaction of the public confirms my opinion.

Where was this? What company? Buenos Aires? THe audience sure seems to be behind him? WONDERFUL!

BUENISIMO

That was lovely & very appreciative audience!

alina is hot, hot, hot. really superb!

Svetlana Zakharova is beautiful, but Alina Cojocaru is wonderful: it' seems like she comes from another planet.

Simplemente se nivela con los mejores como Nureyev, o tal vez Misha :)

ステキ🐈

her quality of movement is astounding and he is an excellent confidence boosting partner...

Soooo much better than any of the Russian versions I've watched recently. Alina is both quick and precise, making her performance so much more exciting! I swear there were twice as many moves in the performance as well. It's going to be rough watching any more of the other ones now, so boring...

4:59 - all I can do is cry !

Does anyone know the name of this DVD?

Where and when was this?? Teatro Colon?

Nuria, do you have the second act PDD and the finale to post?? Always thanking you for the great vids you post!!

Which year is this? before the Royal Opera House?

i was reading some newspaper stories about this night and none of them mentioned alina, but rather the LA times said it was Nina Ananiashvili. personally i thought something looked "off" in alina's dancing. some uncharacterisic stumbles even. i suppose we could ask alina!

its a metaphor, black or white is inside in her soul, nor outside in her feathers

The scene where she pretends to be Odette is very impressive, she manages to make it look like she is tring to fool him. Very difficult to pull off!

I know...I was just have a bit of fun. lol :)

I somehow feel Alina Cojocaru is better at black swan than white swan!

a little fast mr conductor?

珍しくミスってる…！ でも美し可愛い…甲が大好き

What do they mean by "last performance"? Anyone know?

The tape is garbled.

こんなこと書いていい? だれかに腕つかまれてる ような感覚があるんだけどーーー! 日本は夏くらいです わたしは日本の気候があわなくて ぜんそくもわるくなるのです 夏だからバンパイヤーとか???? でも。腕はつかまないよね。。血吸うんだよね。。。 ステキな振り付け!!

How old is Boca here?

Alina, why you put your hands on your hips?

Of course she dances beautifully but where is the soul of mesmeric Maya ......

Why is his hair so weird here though ?

I think you are confunding the original story and the Barbie Swan Lake story.

I like about Alina what I liked about Makarova---itty bitty ballerinas dancing BIG. Bocca looks like he's working really hard on the variation, but that was a gorgeous coda. Any info on the venue and company?

夏だからこわいはなし書いていい? 足首は内科医にぐるぐるまきにされて コシは日本の黒おびぐるぐるまきにされて 腕もぐるぐるまきにされて 指もぐるぐる。。。。 自由がきかなくなる。。。 こわいでしょう。。。。 作りはなしだから!ね! 振り付けすきです!

you havent seen svetlana!

I like about Alina what I liked about Makarova---itty bitty ballerinas dancing BIG. And she has that combination of flexibility, beautiful feet, and a strong center that give you turns and balances but also clean, big extensions. Bocca looks like he's working really hard on the variation, but that was a gorgeous coda. Any info on the venue and company?

Maybe her interpretation of Odile is supposed to be closer to Odette's personality to deceive the Prince. Odette was so timid and shy to begin with, it does seem strange that she would suddenly change into a passionate, manipulative seductress over night. It's all about interpretation. BTW, Alina executes the choreography perfectly.

Alina Cojocaru is a graceful, delicate dancer and she can be exquisite with the right part as "Giselle" or "Onéguine". However she lacks that "dark" side in her personality which is essential in ballets like "Swan Lake" (she is not a convincing black swan at all) or "Manon" by MacMillan to name just a few.

Leave it up to a man to not see the difference between a white swan and a black swan, like wtf.

poor video quality, too bad.

Eww.. well.. it is not so good dancing in my eyes, frankly. I bet she is more than just she is in this video, though.

The black swan is a little to sugary, I ve seen her do way better

mmm.. i don't like her very much.. however amazing!

Look at the choreography. Odette is flustered, timid, and afraid of the Prince in the beginning, and then in the end she dies of a broken heart. Not exactly a strong, aggressive heroine is she? Odile's choreography is more aggressive and seductive. They're very different. So what am I "confunding"?

No me gustó para nada! Hay imperfecciones y no tienen mucha gracia... Soy Argentina, pero el ballet es de los RUSOS!!!!!!!
