"Swan Lake" Part 1 Makarova & Ivan Nagy (Act I beginning)

[nicolezly]

this is a fabulous production and very unique choreography. only i feel that tchaikovsky's grand courtly waltz is a little bit too much for a peasant dance..

Truly Truly Amazing

I was fortunate enough to see Makarova dance Swan Lake in San Francisco in the late 70's(?). Dowell was unable to dance and was replaced by Nureyev - a rumor first reported by the late Herb Caen in the 'SF Chronicle'. What a noise when the announcement was made!!! I'll never forget it.

Debe ser por el director... pero me parece que le falta fuerza a la interpretación. Vi una edición hecha por la BBC en 2005 y es bastante, bastante más preciosa. De todos modos esta versión es también una belleza.

Thank you very very very much. I met Ivan he's my favourite dancer. His mother was my ballet teacher. Thank you.

@zizike999

his mother was ur ballet teacher? so this was like in 1830 ???

[zizike999]

@suntop9631 She lived more than 90 years and retired when she was 90 something that's how she could teach me. And no, it wasn't in 1830, I started to dance in 1995. She made me love ballet and theatre.

@zizike999

Thank you, THANK YOU!!! I prefer Makarova in this production with Nagy than in the Royal Ballet performance with Dowell. Thank you for posting!
