Giselle is the quintessential Romantic ballet. It transformed the dance world when it was first performed in Paris in 1841 and remains at the centre of the classical repertory. Peter Wright's production for The Royal Ballet, which had its premiere in 1985, has had more than 550 performances. With its combination of memorable story and exquisite choreography, Giselle is the perfect way to discover classical ballet.

Imagine being a male dancer partnering Natalie. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ballerina with her elevation. Pirouettes and elevation is usually the male dancer’s domain. But, Natalie has it all covered, by herself. My eyes are glued to her in the same way they are glued to Mikhail Baryshnikov and Daniil Simkin.

I stumbled across Natalia Osipova while doing a project for school. She has been a real inspiration for me for dancing, and just watching her dance, brings a whole new light to ballet. I look up to her as a role model, and just seeing her encourages me to work hard and keep dancing.

I would recommend you watch the great Prima Ballerina Assoluta Alicia Alonso, who danced pass her 60's; most of her career while being blind and recently passed away at 98 years old. For many, among other characters, she is considered the greatest Giselle ever and she was the first one who ever did and introduced "Pirouettes en passé". www.questia.com/magazine/1G1-119023848/alicia-alonso-legend-of-spirit-and-style-cuba-s bodymindballet.com/lessons-from-a-ballerina-legend-alicia-alonso-had-vision-even-though-she-couldnt-see/

THE most ethereally exquisite Giselle for me, has always been the legendary ballerina Svetlana Zakharova . Danced at the young age of 18, her very first performance of this very difficult and demanding role, she just floats through it . With her great beauty , and perfect figure, feet to die for , no ballerina before or after comes even close . Emotion, dazzling technique Svetlana in her prime was a very tough act to emulate. She WAS. Giselle ! Ditto her Odette/Odile in Swan Lake, again with Roberto Bolle , the stuff of dreams, flawless, La Bayadere , Spartacus Lady of the Camellias I could go on and on. Her earlier performances with Igor Zelinsky in Sleeping Beauty and La Corsairs have to be seen to be believed! Dazzling , is putting it mildly .

@adrienscott6913 4 жыл бұрын

Mr. Acosta is incorrect; Giselle is not pure classical. It is one of the great Romantic Ballets. Classical ballet was the late 19th Century with ballets such as Swan Lake, La Bayadere, Sleeping Beauty. Giselle in music and choreography is Romantic and shares more in common with La Sylphide and Bournonville ballets.

@adrienscott6913 3 жыл бұрын

Tinita Bondi it’s just a different sensibility. His depth for the role is surprising since he is known for his pyrotechnic style he does well with Don Quixote. He is a great partner and many might think he knows very little but actually has a great knowledge of his art. I just felt I needed to correct this malapropism of Giselle to hopefully further others to look deeper into the art and history of ballet.
