I can't imagine how intimidating it must have been even for someone like Zakharova to dance Carmen in front of Maya. She's a wonderful dancer, but she doesn't have the sex appeal, sassiness and magic Maya had in that role.
It is so beautiful to see harmony with passing the best art to the next generations . Zakharova and Maya ... Bravo !!!! It is only happen in Russia ...
I agree with You completely. But interesting - a very big part of this film is actually about Zakharova, but NO WORD about such a stars of Bolshoi like Lunkina and Tsiskaridze. It is politics too.
has come true today. I dreamt and thought of that role for a long time. That is why I thank you greatly. Let the God gives you much health and let your holiday goes on all the time. Pl.Thank you, dear. I bless you. She is remarkable. She has done everything in her own way. It is amazing. I am simply happy today.
Майя с рождения Кармен. Она самая лучшая. Никто лучше Майи не понимает предназначение танца - передать характер, образ, а не просто хореографические трюки у станка и на середине..
Hmmm. SZ has plenty of sex appeal. I'm sure that MP and SZ appreciate each other's art. SZ is a superstar at the moment but is gracious to give Maya maximum respect. That shows class.
@FyreBalletDancer [2:58 - 3:16] Amazing! She fits great, so she did made Carmen. I'd trust her. You know, I'd trust she is Carmen. And.. I just can say again I'm happy it is resumed. This programme should go, and go often. It is loved by audience very much.
@FyreBalletDancer [3:16 - 3:47] Great appreciation to you, thank you so much for that you were present on our rehearsals and worked with us. You gave chorus a good boost, you told us, soloists, very many interesting things. You know, today my dream has come true, I was dreaming, thinking about this part for very long time, so thank you very much, God grant you good health and let this celebration go on for you all the time.
@FyreBalletDancer If you are still intersted "what they're sauing from 2:58 to 4:00 ?" Pl. It is remarkable. She has done Carmen. I have believed her. I have believed that she is Carmen. And I can repeat only that I am happy they have renewed it. This performance must go on and often. Public loves it very much. Z. The greatest gratitude for your presence and working with us at our rehearsals. You have greatly pulled up our corps de ballet. You have told us, soloists, much interesting. My dream
@xxpehbcemm I read her first autobiography, and her writing seemed very harsh and honest compared to the sugar-coated autobiographies of Maximova and Komleva. Perhaps Plisetskaya has changed with age, or like me, she is bolder when she writes instead of in person/in public. I've heard people say they don't like her for her outspokenness...
Самое ужасное ,что я слышала о театре:" театр это производство и оно должно работать и должно быть много взаемозаменяемых исполнителей,а детали видны только профи"- Майю Михайловну Кармэн не нужно ни с кем сравнивать ....она Майя Михайловна Плисецкая....это все.
Да, Плисецкая и Годунов... Это было что-то... Столько энергетики, страсти... Захарова - только техника, нет .... нет, ну незнаю ... шарма, четкости, все мягенько, сладенько... а это не то.
Tengo q reconocer q Zakharova es muy buena, tiene todo para ser bailarina de ballet, pero al menos en Carmen no hay como Maya. igual no es q lo tenga q hacer como ella pero inclusive asi creo q no es un papel para Zakharova.
@FyreBalletDancer [3:47 - 4:00] Thank you, sweetheart, thank you, I bless you.. She did great, that's it. Great, very much in her own way, very conclusively, I'm just a happy person today.
SZ is a beautiful woman seems stiff and immature in the role. Just because someone is sexy looking doesn't mean they can perform it. Of course she's a good dancer but she's miscast in this role at this point in her career. Performing in front of someone who was iconic in the role just points up the huge differences between the two of them. Maya was a great dancing actress who exuded passion, sensuality and musicality... SZ is a great technician and a still developing artist.
Jane Caputo Hello Jane, Actually they are dancing Maya Plisetskaya's husband's (Rodion Shchedrin) ballet titled the 'Carmen Suite' after Bizet's opera Carmen.
Rosemary Camarda Rosemary, this is not flamenco and she's not pretending. This is music from a French opera with a Spanish subject. There is Spanish inspiration but it's still French and definitely not flamenco. And she's a classical ballerina doing classical dance, there're no flamenco movements at all. .
