La Bayadera 3: Marianela Nuñez-Carlos Acosta

[clouddancerlj]

here came the goddess....

[thefourandonly1]

Wow! They're both great, but Marianela's 5 pirouettes were so nice and floaty.

[havenization]

OMG , what does her Nykia look like ???????

[bettycoltrane85]

spectacular gamzatti

[XxBallerina4ChristxX]

this has got to be Marianela's best role!!

[BlindbyBeauty]

Que control! Simplemente Maravillosa!

[SuperBalletgirl101]

There is just something special in her grand Jete. It seems to be suspended in midair, and seem stright up rather than across the floor...beautiful

[danielcrt90]

BRAVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <3 <3 <3

[Kata397533]

I jaw dropped at the quadruple pirouette

[Briavel1]

Beautiful costume, beautiful background, beautiful dancing!

[professorrapport]

Who messed up the music and ruioned the choreography?

[Flaflaronio]

@professorrapport yup someone in the orchestra messed up but you can only tell by the girl in the back's momentary confusion xD I don't know what I would have done in that case, so extra kudos for that!

[tutus4life]

her upper body is to DIE for!! She is the only one who does that diagonale right

[odile77]

@tutus4life you are so right, she ends each pirouette en attitude on a beautiful and perfect fondú... her dance is so clean, I love her!

[AndSoHeDanced]

OMG SHE IS BREATHTAKING!!

[dmb4341]

i'm confused... this same variation by Nunez is done in another video with Thiago Soares but it is named Le Corsaire ... this one is La Bayadera... can anyone clear this up for me pleas? :)

[kabaiivansko]

Tiene toda la razón, muchos bailarines usar la misma variación en el Corsario Pas de deux, pero en el caso de Núñez no sólo hace el mismo cambio, pero también las mismas tendencias, como en la diagonal con piqué soutenu. Es una lástima ya que tiene la técnica a otra variante de Corsair.

[dmb4341]

@kabaiivansko ahh no sabia que muchos usaban la misma variacion. gracias por aclarar eso y si es una lastima que Marianela lo haya hecho igual ya que es una bailarina excepcional que puede hacer virtualmente cualquier variacion a un nivel de excelencia.

muchas gracias denuevo.

[nevroth]

I'm also very confused by it. But my research deems it to be definitely from La Bayadere - Gamzatti's variation. The gist of what kabaii was saying is that many ballerinas use this variation in Le Corsaire, but with the same choregraphy down to the pique soutenus. A shame because it's used already in another variation in Le Corsaire. At least that's what I took from it :3

[emmsteemmastewart]

@nevroth some dancers just like to switch it...although i think they only change the variation when they are doing galas and stick with the original ones when they dance full length ballets....not sure when they started changing them but it seems to be done very often now...the one she dances here is the 'official' gazmatti variation from bayadere

[quetzalverdeblu]

@dmb4341 - There are two different ballet this one in La bayadere and the variation is not like Le corsaire, maybe it look like.... Try on you tube the other one you will see the difference. Sorry for my english, i'm italian!

[avesraggiana]

@dmb4341 Your confusion is understandable. This variation, to this music, is rightly placed in this ballet. The Russians on the on other hand, while claiming to be the guardians and purveyors of the true Russian classical ballet tradition, are the most licentious in interchanging the heaps and heaps of Petipa-Minkus variations that must be just lying around all over the place in Moscow and St Petersburg. They interchange variations and music with impunity.

[srnm1724]

she is so beautiful it almost hurts!

[Orthowidow]

I love watching Marianela, her upper body is so graceful. Did anybody notice at about 1.47mins where she falls off her pointe onto demi-pointe whilst doing the first in a series of turning attitudes?

[jengirl2]

@Orthowidow I didn't notice at first but definitely saw it after you pointed it out.  Her upper body is so graceful...I missed it.

[BallerinaGirl2010]

She is amazing, my favorite ballerina (:
