Impresionante pareja en esta actuación. Nureyev tan elegante como siempre y su eterna posición en quinta. Fue el Príncipe más bello del ballet. Ambos bailarines, siempre recordados, inolvidables.
@@JohnRaymondHall El ballet de Giselle con Carla también le he visto. Una pena que haya muerto, era la última gran bailarina de aquella época tan gloriosa. También he visto Romeo y Julieta con Carla, Margot y Nureyev. Una maravilla ver a estas tres estrellas. Se nota su ausencia en el mundo del ballet.
@@JohnRaymondHall Oh my goodness that is truly wonderful. 💗✨I love your channel. I have noticed that some people that comment , call you by a different name.
@@JohnRaymondHall , io ero alle due recite di questa Bella alla Scala nel 1979. Fracci non era granche' e anche esteticamente bruttina. Nureyev fu meraviglioso. Il successo delle serate ci fu grazie a lui. Molto bravi il resto della compagnia, Anna Razzi..Accolla..Vescovo ecc ecc.
There's a charming scene at 1.11 where Fracci turns to look Nureyev in the eyes for a long moment and then walks to downstage left to prepare a pirouette; Nureyev leaves it to the last minute to run fast towards her and support her finish in arabesque 1:22. Thank you for posting this pdd by two unique artists.
This footage, though at a hideous angle, showed much of what these dancers were like. Thank you very much for posting it. Also, do you know what year it's from?
No, not unless she looked like someone's dead wife (reference to Nikulina). All jokes aside, she didn't have the technical abilities to be a prima ballerina today.
These comparisons are fraught with difficulties. Fracci was born in 1936. How many Olympic competitors born in that year could technically match today's athletes? We are sensible enough not even to ask the question. I prefer not to ask the question and simply enjoy a dancer's artistry, musicality and the intangible sense of joy felt in the performance. Take a look at Fracci coaching Giselle at La Scala, at the invitation of Manuel Legris, in the year she died 2021 (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EmHyTBamb0E.html. Two parts).
