The woman in the red jacket appears as though she's about to break down crying.

[anime00manga]

i have been love with all things russian since Anastasia.

[loulie1997]

@anime00manga Do you know the true story of Anastasia? It is much better! :)

[anime00manga]

@loulie1997 yes, after watching the animation i researched it :) you are right it is rather better, but i still love the cartoon!

[yonjooheero]

at 2:19 you can see Oksana Skorik from "Beautiful Tragedy" in the red leotard!!! :-O

[litoboy5]

amazing !!!

[oliviainyourpants]

What's up with the narrator's accent? Sounds like she's trying waaaay to hard to be cultured.

[Bnesque]

So, Mr. diredtor prefers longer ballerinas to become NYCB 2? It's a tragedy for the smaller extremely talented ones. And we need Kirov/Mariinsky at first!

[pediatrapaola]

@Bnesque awful jerkyboy clearly declares his unesplicable admiration for NYCB as he was directing an italian amateur ballet school .he is really an idiot.

[Bnesque]

@pediatrapaola He was too short to be loved by M. B. Strange reverce pschology!

[pediatrapaola]

@Bnesque really find unesplicable his mind,at the least nycb is a company built on the repertory of mr b ,and one is enought ,and personally never was a great fan of mr b repertoire,repeat one company is more than enought.jerk would be better to work seriously on his company,at the moment he has just 2 or 3 good male principals ,is a shame,that is kirov that he has in his responsability,not some vaudeville group.

[Bnesque]

@pediatrapaola Neither was I an admirer of Mr. B by seeing nycb staging his repatoire. But tell you the truth, when I saw them in Mariinsky, I found them very beautiful.But I have to say again Mariinsky's first priority always dwells on restoring the pure classique style.

[pediatrapaola]

@Bnesque staged by mariinski averything would be beautiful ,but there are priorities ,as you told .

[palubob]

Very informative & interesting. Too bad they made an unforgiveable mistake with the name of the late, great Ninel Kurgapkina.

[jnvos]

this is NOT the right director for this company== he does not have the right feel for the beauty that the company has stood for-- why change when you are the best!!

[ecj177]

Very interesting!

[abustinaa]

at 2:19, is the girl in red Oksana Skorik?

[bolshoiboy8]

i HATE the new director of kirov... he is forcing all his dancers 2 lose so much weight... he fired 12 of his dancers.

[kaustubh10000]

no dude thats not true...i mean he fired 12 of his dancers ...its true....but he didnt fired the remaining coz he has a crush on one of the dancers .....now dont ask her name u must know it

[bolshoiboy8]

umm duhhh he didnt fire the remaining or else there would b no kirov company... ur not making any sense... read wut u wrote and then rewrite it so it makes sense plz.. im really interested in wut u hav 2 say.

[kaustubh10000]

hey dude sory but i was joking ....i dont even know what is kirov company.....i just commented whataver came in my mind......sory...forgive me

[bolshoiboy8]

wow lol...

[tutus4life]

agreed! And what I hate the most is that he will not do any re-construction of any ballet thats not in their rep already. The Bolshoi just did a new Coppelia and the Kirov wont cuz Fadeyev doesnt want to.

[bolshoiboy8]

YES! alina somova WAS talented before he pretty much ruined her!!! she's so frail and thin shes not a good dancer anymore!

[JacquelyneWilkerson]

Somova has ALWAYS been frail and unnaturally thin - she's carried that from ballet school. If you see footage of her in the documentary "Ballerina" when she was still a student she barely has any energy after doing a couple of bars of the end of a Paquita variation. Shé wasn't healthy before entering the company. I don't think she is naturally meant to be that small.

[bolshoiboy8]

me either... if you see her videos when she gained a little weight she was SO beautiful.

[JacquelyneWilkerson]

How long is Fadeyev in for? I thought in the doco piece above it said he was "interim director" or is this a really old report and he's been made director.............bit confuzzled here...

[JacquelyneWilkerson]

Where did you hear that from? Is this Fedeyev you are talking about?

[Lucylives08]

i got to see Diana in Don Quixote at OCPAC---BEAUTIFUL!
