Alessandra Ferri. Giselle. Paris Opera Ballet (Act1)

[msprijatna]

im speechless, cant breathe! ballerinas, i think the can stop time, and slow time movements! sometimes they look so unaturally like in slow mode on dvd players, with winds around them also moving so slow. like having no time limits or gravitation

[LilyNoelleArt]

She's too careful. I've seen much better versions of this - and I LOVE Alessandra ... just seems like she isn't dancing to full capacity here.  It's still beautiful, though. She's always amazing. I've just seen her MORE amazing before. ;p LOVE the dress!

[me2totoo]

it looks funny if u put the snowflakes on!

[karioga23]

phenomenal!!!

[SamLwin]

I just got this on DVD. Amazing. One of my favourite ballets ever. Alessandra Ferri is the prima ballerina assoluta.

[mariemaryjanejina]

Beautiful dancer, exquisite talent and technique, amazing actress and stage presence... She's the dancer that everyone wants to be (:

[AnnaJackson50]

It reminds me of the movie WISHING STAIRS.....

I'ts soo beautiful <333

But now .... just a littlebit scary ......

I Love ballet and the giselle <3

[Natl96]

Woooow

[danceandsing00]

It´s NOT PARIS OPERA!!! It´s LA SCALA MILANO!!!!!!!

[TheBalletgirl09]

OMG! I lovelovelovelovelovelovelove that dress... and of course her feet. But how can 9 people dislike this?!

[GlenHelenGHOfeeder]

She is AMAZING but it makes me sad because I probably won't ever get to play Giselle

[ozzylory]

perfect italian siempre vey very talent love!

[ToledoWingNut]

Glorious dancing...her precision is just remarkable. And I add to the praise of the dress: never seen a skirt behave so beautifully in spins both slow and fast.

[EtrangerStranger]

That dress is unbelievable!

[danza4everdance]

This is the Scala Ballet in Milan not the Opera de paris, and he is Massimo Murru, etoile of the Scala Ballet



[zushixilaiyi]

@danza4everdance

Thanks to point it out.

[danza4everdance]

This is the Scala ballet (Teatro alla Scala in Milan) not the Paris Opera. He is Massimo Murru, etoile of the Scala Ballet

[2ndAveLine]

Her dress blooms like a jellyfish gently bobbing in the sea! Other than that, I can't get over how precise and light she is, so assured in technique and composure.

[FyreBalletDancer]

the only dancer that has bigger arches than Zakharova ... that tells everything :))

other than that, amazing artist !!!

[TZEITEL10]

She appears to be wearing a rather sheer,revealing blouse section her bodice.is that by accident or design.

[SJS404]

@TZEITEL10 I also noticed, but its part of the charm of Giselle, she is there to seduce him !

[TZEITEL10]

@SJS404 I think Albrecht is the seducer,poor Giselle is supposed to be naive and unworldly.Her inexpeience is her downfall.

[DreamsontheWater]

She has such a beautiful face! I wished I looked like her!

And danced like her, of course! ^^

[wendyakafez]

im training to be a ballerina and i have her arch which my teacher complements and im still new at it but i really hope i can get as good as her shes amazing

[sbkang85]

is it gay to keep noticing the guys in tights and their packages?

[TheBalletgirl09]

WOW! I loooooooove her feet. i want to be a ballerina, but I got the worst feet in the world. my orthpedist says that i will never can dance en pointe. i got pointe shoes, and i try them on every day, but I cant dance. well, its good to see people with wonderful feet- i dont know why,,,

[LittleGrimalkin]

@TheBalletgirl09 Who cares what your orthopedist says about your feet? He can't make you stop dancing. One of my friends at ballet used to have terrible feet, but she has worked on making them better, and now they are. Not all of us are blessed with really good feet, but you can prove that your feet don't control how you dance.

[LittleGrimalkin]

@TheBalletgirl09 Who cares what your orthopedist says? Trust me, if you work on your feet, they'll definitely get better. The feet don't make the dancer. You can conquer your feet.

[TheBalletgirl09]

@LittleGrimalkin

Thanks

[blanchine117]

Bellissima Alessandra...

[MamzeilleLili]

It was not at the Paris Opera but at the Teatro de la Scala

[EVE41080]

Assolutamente gradevole, piacevole :) mette serenità.

[clarlil53]

Her right shoe looks broken....and still she is amazing!

[cooperneely]

i wonder why she did her hops on pointe the opposite direction than they're usually done????

[skippytt]

@cooperneely

It's her stronger foot. Hops on point are very challenging for her, with those incredible arches. Check out her Juliet and Manon, tho -- she's awesome.

[danzzeshorty]

her ARCH!!! holy moly I wish I had an arch like this!!!!!

she's great!

[Egmargera1]

Her feet are so distractingly beautiful!!!!!

[aanniiee21]

maravilloso...

[pique03marta]

qué pies!!!!!!!!!

[MsPickleperson]

so happy, elegante, gentle, beautiful!

[micblackable]

perfect ballerina....!!! and her foot is so good !!!!!

[julianachan]

alessandra ferri not is dancer of paris opera ballet!!! this scene from the la scala ballet, ok?

[bcassie3]

I am trying to find the music to this for my class, what part of act one is this variation in??

[SJS404]

true.

[noa1994]

I WANT HER FEET!!

[Kata397533]

not saying that Ferri doesn't do a great job, she does, but personally, my favorite Giselle has to be Alina Cojocaru. But that's just my opinion...

[yanisericfilm]

@Kata397533 I agree completely :D

[gisellinda]

@Kata397533

I totally agree with you!!!

[irock110]

shes my mom. and im serious, its Matilde by the way.

[ballet81895]

I CAN'T STOP WATCHING HER FEET! They are too gorgeous to look away!

[Broadway3]

this is my favorite Giselle costume! its like a waterfall

[vanillabean001]

Oh, sorry. Wow that's crazy. But POB dancers scare me...

[1810fox]

This is a Prima Ballerina? How poor technique! If you want to see a variation of Giselle with virtuosity and Romantic style look on youtube Barbara Garcia's Giselle of National Ballet of Cuba. She is a true Etoile!

[reinangelina]

I disagree. As for the technique this might not be her best but from my opinion, Giselle as a character should be romantic as well as perky. She's a young girl living in a cottage falling in love. Not exactly the same kind of romanticness as La Sylphide. And Alessandra Ferri totally expresses those emotions well.

[1810fox]

Ok, then let that Giselle is danced by an actress and we ignore the dance and ballerinas

[reinangelina]

totally mature of u t be sarcastic like that lol y dont u go watch a musical then eh!?

[writer13426]

I'm auditioning for a mini-ballet at my dance studios soon. It's scenes from Giselle! I was wondering what the character of Giselle's personality is like? So many ballerinas dance her differently. I really want to get Giselle! Help?

[atinglis]

this is teatro alla scala for sure, i have this video

[HarryYamakawa]

it's Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Italy.

I'm sure because I have this DVD.

[steveconn]

Who was that, and why?

[kngiht84]

same as your spelling !

[Dreamer00]

-snort-

[etoiledelkirov]

scusami ma come fai a dire che è orribile? mhà

[mvs908]

This isn't the Paris Opera Ballet, it's La Scalla.

[megahann12]

oh dear, she's amazing (obviously). flawless, i could watch her all day woo!!

and one more thing, isn't that dress beautiful? haha, there is no way that dress would be made of that fabric on the the character in real life :P

[luisalau]

i think this is more great ballet than those before us. it was too technical last time.

this is perfect in music, technique, timing and the best of all its a story danced and told in a more real way! i bet a non ballet cultured person will enjoy her dance more than any other ballerina before!

[ballet4evernever]

ferri is an absoluteley stunning giselle!!! no doubt about it her madness scene is one of the most bielevable i9've ever seen!!! alessandra ferri is an amaziing actrees and an amaziing ballerina.

[FlyingBallerina13]

in what year was this ballet done?

[GlassPointe]

wonderful control and extremely nice feet that I would die for....

and ...... really love that dress, so light.

[nottolinarob]

She's nothing compared to carla fracci.

Ragazzi credetemi c'è un abisso tra lei e la fracci

[crianzinha17]

this is not paris opera ballet

[ballopazzo]

just look at those turns...clean, extremely slow and grounded, so controlled...probably the best tecnique ever...not to talk about the body and THE FEET!!we love you Alessandraaaa

[MorganoftheFaeries]

OMGESUS!!! If you guys love Ferri and Fracci, you absolutely MUST see Xiomara Reyes as "Giselle". I used to like Ferri best for this, but now it's a tie. And if you saw Reyes two years ago, throw away your old perception of her. She's ENTIRELY different now, triple the ballerina she ever was. So, yeah, if you like Ferri and Fracci, check out Reyes. You won't be disappointed ;D

[balanchinesmuse91]

I love her dress! it's perfect for giselle

[MorganoftheFaeries]

Alessandra Ferri is my absolute favorite ballerina of all time. Though she was never a virtuoso dancer, she injected her own fire and beauty into every role. By the way, this is La Scala. I own it on DVD. :)

[CowsGo777oo]

Wow, she has gorgeous feet and wonderful control! Moo-out!☺☻♥

[albinoluciani1]

magistral,inmensa.ferii eres otra giselle

[bloeedsinn]

It isn´t the Paris Opera Ballet but the Balletto della Scala. But it ist the same version of Giselle of Patrice Bart.

[naninani84]
