the romance of love in her girlish heart! Alina is radiant, Shklyarov is radiant... there is a hush in the theatre because they know they are watching something very special. this is what is expected from Mariinsky. may we see these heights again. thank you x
This is the most beautiful extract I have ever seen Alina Somova dance, regardless of any considerations of technique or choreography. It's my favourite part of the ballet - the *heart* of the ballet - and maybe I am a Romantic, but here we can see an infinitely precious, poignant moment - the beauty of first love. It is such a fleeting, ephemeral moment but it *does* exist and here Alina captures all the innocence and rapture of that moment for us to see for all time. Thank you, Nina!
It's just a simple joyous moment where a pretty girl meets a pretty boy and they fall in love... But such a beauty of life only exists in the small girl's dream. Tchaikovsky knew it and this music has such shade of nostalgia and melancholy with abundant of happiness. So Alina's characterisation of innocence makes this piece infinitely precious... Thank you for sharing!
yah she's amazing. my fave. no contest. She's so beautiful and graceful, I don't know how she has so many haters. (And I'm a ballet freak.) In my opinion, there is no better pas de deux around than one with Alina Somova. Osipova is my other fave... such such power, such height. I'll watch her solos in Quixote till I'm old and grey.
Ottima l'impressione di levità fluente fatta tensione elanista e motile sorprendente nella ballerina ed ottimi quelli che con un mio neologismo mi piace chiamare convoli aerei ed elanisti della ballerina ottimamente indotti e tenuti dal partner. Ottimo il mantenimento anche in fase esecutiva delle pose figurali d'ensemble. Ottimo il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante. Ottima l'impressione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito da parte di entrambi. OLTREMODO BRAVI.BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO .
