I was there for her final performance of Manon, a week before she retired. Absolutely breathtaking. And it is impossible to believe she is 44! She looked like she was 20. My daughter got her autograph when she spoke to the ABT SI students this week.
thank you *so* much for posting this- their Manon in NYC was fantastic, you can see how much the audience loved it from the curtain call clips i've posted.
Their "Manon" performance in NYC at the Metropolitan was a great success, both critics and audience were enthusiastic ...I wish I had been there! Bravissimi, Alessandra e Roberto, we are all so proud of you in Italy! Grazie mille!
Thank you so much...just breathtaking! What is the ballet world going to do when she retires? She is the best ever... best feet, best emotionally expressive, true perfection.
I ever thought this scene would be better without socks and pointe shoes (for her)

It is remarcable how her character is dying, but you can still see the strength in every one of her movements. Simple amazing.

I have to say, the more often I watch her, the more I love her.
Bolle's very good too, I might add. :D

Ferri really plays a corpse convincingly - watch her arms at the very end

I <3 Ferri.
Might I add, for a personal recording, this is extremely well filmed.

'Manon' is on DVD and video - but not with Ferri unfortunately. Both are Jennifer Penney and Dowell who are superb. Other than that, I can't help.
