nothing else matters

Это не Бежар, от слова - СОВСЕМ! Больше похоже на микс «Баядерки» с Камасутрой. Желательно всё же понимать смысл исполняемого. Особенно когда речь идёт о сочинениях Бежара.

Those arms...incredible...so ghostly

perfect

Maravilhosa

При всем моем уважении... это не Бежар... и Индией не пахнет😣

BEAUTIFUUUUULLLLL!!! They're absolutely perfect!!! pure Love

как перышко летает !!!!! Божественно !

speechless

Самый красивый и гениальный танец был с Ф.Р.

Just amazing...

Ah je me disais bien que j'étais pas fou!!! Tout à fait d'accord! j'viens de voir une version danser par La Cie de Béjart et c'est vrai que c'est tout pareil,mais pas Béjart quoi! Là c'est superbement danser,mais proprement et danser pour être "pretty" il n'y a pas l'esthétique que béjart à voulu transmettre,puis l'énergie! rien à voir! c'est beau,pas à dire! des danseurs exceptionnels! une propreté sans comparaison,mais le voir danser par la Cie Béjart,comme toute ses pièces,ça à Rien à Voir!

I saw Svetlana's Giselle last week in Opera di Roma and I must say I was really impressed, especially by second act. She was so delicate, so sublime, so light, you didn't hear that she was moving on the scene. She managed to create a ghost impression. I haven't seen yet Diana Vishneva in this role live so I can't not compare. Both of theme are special.

best 58 seconds of my life right there

this is my favorite Bolle/Zakharova partnership (Pas De Deux), mostly because here Bolle is really playing an active role in the character of Giselle, instead of just a dance partner courting each other. Giselle is supposed to be a ghost here so Bolle's balance and movement in his steps while holding her is critical to make the perception that she is floating like a spirit, and they do a perfect job with one another

how she raises her long leg....nobody does it better. it's so beautiful.

sublime, utterrly gorgeous

Svetlana Zakharova Is absolutely Fantastic .Perfect Ballerina at this time .

davvero un sogno..

Sempre favolosi! <3

Gorgeous just stunning

My name in real is also Giselle!!!!!

(No hate please...just speaking my opinion) I am not a fan of Svetlana. Her technique is superb, (much better than I'll ever do) but to me her artistry just isn't there. I don't know if it's that I'm not connecting with her because of cultural differences, or something else but I've just never been "wowed" by her. In every role I've seen her dance I've not thought it suited her...until now! My goodness, it's like her whole being was MADE for Giselle! I'm saying it...wow!!!

Aww so cute together

Out of this world! Amazing! Чудесно!

I think that she is on demi-pointe 0:05

shit she's amazing/

me cortaron el final!

so breathtaking good,she is so fragil and he is so so so good,he dances with his heart,its like a melancholic joy to watch this

this is innovation in the history of ballet.

she filled that first note with so much feeling

she is the best technique qualified prima ballerina in this century,and I respect her work a lot,but still I dont like her in this role,for me her best role is swanlake,especially the black swan ,she shows her perfection and pretention of someting royal,maybe because she is a "queen" ???

FOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EXTENSION!!!!!!!!!! OMG

Andante735: '...she's quite good' *laughing* Hmm, I wonder who you would deem 'good', then, or even, '*very* good'?!

@tra4la maybe the best!

I don't think she needed to go all out on her extensions here. It kind of ruins the upper body and smoothness for me...but she IS a fantastic dancer. Her Carmen is incredible.

@dancerbwoi too bad that this is the role that Svetlana is internationally known for having perfected.....

Alina Cojocaru is the best thing that's ever happened to ballet!

i always thought it was must be very hard for him to pretend to be tired and her pretend to not be tired even though she's been working twice as hard!

@Kata397533 I usually think the higher the extensions, the more beautiful, that's one of the things i love most about Zakharova is her beautiful flexibility but i don't think she over does it... Somova overdoes it... But i really love how high she gets her extensions, in everything, not just Giselle but in all the videos of her. I think the closer to the ear you are the more beautiful it is, but i mean that's just me

I don't understand why anyone would dislike her performance, she is the epitome of a beautiful ballet dancer.

1.25 that's all I can say!

The jumps from about 0:08 seem to be tighter with other dancers such as Ulanova.

The effect she has is extraordinary, otherworldly, suspended in time and space...

Svetlana is amazing in some roles, especially in La Fille du pharon. i really loved her in that, but Giselle is not her ballet. She has no taste when it comes to this role!

lopatkina is more artisitc

Strength and beauty! She is unbreakable!

wow...è stupenda nn ci sn parole x descriverla....

<3 its like she was born for giselle :)

@lilprima2b The same thing happened to me yesterday... and I'm still overwhelmed by the whole experience. Excellent show at the Royal Opera House and a very real, human Alina afterwards. Memory not to forget!
