  • Grace in movement with magnificent technical skill as well.

  • her biggest talent was to convey love and emotion, which for me is the most engaging reason to watch anyone on stage. Gymnastic extensions come second in the long term without emotion.

  • she had everything?....where are the extensions?

  • @jgh37

    extensions? This was when ballet was art, not a cold colourless show of acrobatics like it is today, performed by anorexic gymnasts.

  • I really feel sorry for you..it must be such an ordeal for you to watch Diana Vishneva perform her circus-like act....or Lopatkina, Somova, Tereshkina, Pavlenko, Makhalina, Herrera, Lacarra, Alexandrova etc. etc. for that matter, that I think you should concentrate on watching real ballet on video and give up contemporary 'colourless show of acrobatic' performances. Despite your narrowmindedness I wish you well in your quest for real art.

  • @jgh37

    Thank you for the sage advice. Very profound.

    Next time you are performing your solo at Covent Garden be sure to let me know.

    I'll whiz over and critique your extensions.

  • Profound?...let's call it common sense. On another note, the last thing I want when I dance next is to have someone from Australia (!!) critique my dancing.

  • @jgh37

    Thank you. I occasionally need reminding why I left there, and live here.

  • @jgh37 She didn't need over extension. Her musicality, grace, expresive arms, and acting is all. Imagine that! The greastest ballerina that ever lived! Suck on that!

  • She was good in the setting of her time; clearly her critiques thought she was wonderful. Compared to modern ballerinas her technique is limited. However, look at the pictures of very plump Victorian dancers barley managing to stand on point. and compare them to Margot Fonteyn!  Male dancers of the 50s and earlier - interesting!

  • A legend! Those pirouettes!

  • Ca ne vaut pas une étoile du 21è siècle...

  • she is a legend

  • It's already been released and I've had it on DVD for some time.

  • When will this be released?
