I did not think Akane would be suited to the role, Think of Osipova, Vishneva and Gwyllem for example; but for me, her magical femininity brought something very special to the table and I especially liked the way it made me think and feel.
BE still my heart. I was a student at the Boston ballet when she was still there and had the pleasure of taking class with her sometimes, what an incredible run she has had.
She is the perfect ballerina for this role and his partnering is wonderful. There are many performances of this PDD on You Tube which only seem to seek technical perfection rather than to move the viewer. This performance isn't one of them. Stunning!
I wish he’d wake me with a kiss. Seriously, this is wonderful. Her arabesques are fantastic, and she adds little personal touches, for instance in her arabesque penchée.
