Belyakov is really something. Every move so fluid and joyous and he manages to make his jumps appear suspended in the air for an instant. It is simply breathtaking! Also when he lifts his partner, he "places" her on the stage again as if she were made of glass and very precious.
Belyakov is now one of my favourite male Bolshoi dancers - along with Lantratov. He has both great jumping and wonderful artistic interpretation. I have watched this version of Bluebird over and over..
Sheer perfection. What a delightful couple. I could not imagine it performed any better. So true to the spirit of the ballet, gay and light-hearted. Bravo!
Breathtaking performances. And I like the way two suble shades of blue are employed for the costumes. She is in curulean blue and he untramarine. Such rare quality all round.
Настя is elegant, soft, tender and precise in her movements! Her dancing is mesmerizing. Perfect princess! Thank you Махар Вазиев for letting young ballerinas of the Bolshoi show their talents and supporting them. Артемий is by all means outstanding and so good! I look forward to seeing him a principal dancer one day!
How spectacular!!! Can't remember ever seeing a Bluebird so graceful, so light and combining incredible jumps with absolutely noble, aristocratic partnering!🙏🙏🙏❣️
Just at hearing he seems even lighter than his partner Anastasia. I am not a ballet expert, but its really impressive, he is making quite NO NOISE on the floor for more than 6 minutes (you can hear his shoes on a spinning in the end.) Thats really impressive for me.
Well, men wear soft shoe so they do sound quieter than women Still, he's amazing💖 Well, men wear soft shoe so they do sound quieter than women Still, he's amazing💖 Edit : Oh and in ballet, like the dance step for men is higher and wider cause thier muscles are stronger so they have to jump higher. Ex : Assemble, for women it is low (about an ankle or a bit higher) but for men, lol, it is high😂 about a knee level.
Being able to learn princess Florines variation is beyond exciting. The variation is truly gorgeous and definitely one of the best. Truly perfection, and that cannot be taken away.
Дирижёр загнал коду так ,что ему надо было по голове дать. И вообще все pas de deux было быстро. Не одного замедления в музыке не было соблюдено. Хорошо,что артисты смогли справиться с этим темпом. Молодцы! А дирижёру....по шее.
Its not what it used to be. The male variation; assemble entrchat six on both sides and 12 entrchat six at the end before the double tour finish. Music adjusted to this version. Way harder.
I have a feeling she hadn't broken in her pointe shoes (enough), there was some squeaking and you could hear her landings like a clunk, and the choreography wasn't particuarly birdlike. They did however look very graceful
At. 5.22, ballerina is not completing arm extension and brings it too close to body too soon. I have seen some dancers make that particular move a little more theatrical with more arm positioning. Beautiful, otherwise.
Music tempo is decided by the choreographer and director. The conductor cannot change the tempo of the music if they feel like it, especially because the dancers were rehearsing at a different tempo and would mess up.
The gorgeous costumes of Franca Squarciapino. It is not surprising that her works received the most prestigious awards "Oscar" and "Cesar", as well as the prize of the English critics and the Italian "Silver Ribbon".
This whole thing looks like its in slow motion. In fact,, it IS in slow motion. This sluggish tempo is awful. Watch at 1.25 speed and everything is better and musically correct.
I wish the choreography for her had more bird like fluttering and nuances. Cant they add things? It never seemed very bird like, this dance. Shes an amazon! Those legs!
