Of course the late 'Fernando Bujones' is a handsome and extraordinary classical ballet dancer, too, absolutely and I love and admire him as well ❤️ ♥️ 💙 💖 💕 ! Fernando Bujones and Cynthia do Gregory complement each other wonderfully 💖 💕 ❤️. Thank you to @ Allegro-presto for sharing ❤ 😊.

I could watch Cynthia all day. My mom too. This brings her joy at 86

I absolutely loved this version. The soloists were superb and Fernando and Cynthia first rate. Everything beautifully Danced and presented. Thank you all so much ABT.x

Thank you for posting, it certainly brings back very fond memory of the two outstanding dancers. I had the good fortune of watching the two of them danced in this ballet when ABT visited London in the 70's. The entire company was also on top form. Those were the days indeed.

They were sheer pefection and artistry, I saw them do Swan Lake and the standing ovation at the end went on forever, people were screaming, programs flying, bouquets flying on stage, we had to leave after 30 min and the crowd was still cheering, it was a pehnomenal experience, She lit up the stage and he commanded it

Someone's said and it's true 'Coming to ballet so late, you miss so many great performances by great artists like 'Cynthia Gregory'! Well I'm seeing Gregory now 'on tape' and am happiest still, to know about Cynthia Gregory .. . The Prima Ballerina Assoluta who has everything ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ! Thank you to @ C Gregory ❤ 😊 and to all the 'Paquita' gorgeous and amazing 'Corps de Ballet' members ❤ 😊. Of course thanks much to @ Allegro-presto for this lovely 'Paquita' video ❤ ❤ 😊.

Nobody has ever compared to Cynthia Gregory - our prima ballerina assoluta!

Cynthia danced during ABT's heyday but, once she started dancing, never did I once wish that Natalia or Kelsey or any guest star was on stage.She and Fernando always raised the roof. Superlative quartet of soloists. I did not recognize Deirdre Carberry though I had seen her dance often. Here I remember why I was impressed with her. Those entrechats are amazing! and she did not just do steps but danced with brio. Very strong dancing.

what a dancer was fernado ,l was so lucky having seen him live at his time in many occasions

Fernando and his perfect variation at 17:16

love, love love!!! -

No ballerina ever was as regal as Cynthia Gregory !

Standing ovation 👏

Such a great ballet ...cuckoo for the score too!

Fantastic fenomenal I Love ❤️

ABTs orchestrations from this era are so beautiful! Was there a notable conductor involved around this time? I'm fascinated.

Great ❤❤❤❤

This is just for me 15:45 Variation 1

Un brio unico, forse finora l'unica Paquita sensata.

Who is the dancer in 10:53?❤️

Mthe choreogreophy is somewhat fif sim to nycbs

I haven't seen any black ballet dancer in Paris Opéra that's shame. Only countries that I saw are United States, England, Canada, Cuba.

Beautiful, but noone trumps Svetlana Zhakarova...

Как кордебалет слаб

Dreadful orchestration!

I really don't like this choreography, don't feel the regality, the class it suppose to show, don't see the love (after all it is supposed to be a wedding), sorry Miss. Makarova. Love Lacotte's version. See Vaganova Academy Paquita from 2018 or 2019 graduation show danced by students, it is wonderful. Choreographed by Vaganova's rector Nikolai Tsiskaridze and Yuri Burlaka after Petipa. Oh, Buyones in his variation looks like a rag doll, terrible
