She is such a great artist, so beautiful I cried. I can hardly stand ballet anymore but seeing this makes me know why I loved it and made it a career. I know this music, it's a rare ballet and this is the best part. Beautiful!
@BalletBabyBoy. The ballet was "revived" by the Mariinsky in 2009 or 2010 and is perhaps more beautiful than ever. I know that it was performed during the 2010/2011 season quite a few times, but I don't know if it on YT. The composer Yarullin never saw his ballet performed, having been killed on the front in 1943 in WW II.
For me, this is great dancing; Plisetskaya, Ulanova, Struchkova -- these are artists the likes of whom I doubt we'll soon see again. But how grateful I am to have had the good luck to have seen them. Thanks so much for this film clip.
I would be interested to see the revival but there are no Plisetskayas left.
