Sleeping Beauty (Alina Cojocaru) 

I had the great privilege of seeing Cojocaru dance Aurora with the American Ballet Theater ten years ago. She was a guest artist, and did only two performances, both of which sold out. There wasn’t an empty seat in the Metropolitan Opera House. To say she was extraordinary would be a massive understatement.

she's the best Aurora ever :)

She is the best Aurora for me. There is an innocence and a grace from within that comes through that I have not seen anywhere else.

Best Aurora ever, a true prima ballerina assoluta

I've always thought there was something rather special about Alina, ENB now, a real treat.

Much has been said about her exquisite musicality; she and the music are seemingly ONE. To me, she is the best Aurora and Giselle. A tiny little thing with such strength!!

Lovely! LOVELY! Whatever I feel about Sleeping Beauty, and regardless of all the restrictions RB puts on this roles performance, Alina managed to be so lovely! I gladly watch her over, and over again. No matter how long ago it was,... I come back all the time to see her again!

Watched Zakharova first, and thought "What amazing dancing!" Watched this, and thought "What a delightful young girl!" She's the beauty I fall in love with.

I love her.

What a youthful Aurora!

Bravissima!!

Magnificent!!

Brilliant!

divine

this is great. Royal Ballet has the best Sleeping Beauty!

what a loss this was for the RB to lose her and Kobborg. there isn't anyone like her. osipova comes close though.

She is amazing but my fav Aurora is Darcey Bussell 💖💖💖
