  • She has an amazing ability for characterization. As Lise in La Fille Mal Gardee, she has a childlike lightness. As Gamzatti in La Bayadere, she has a commanding sensuality. In this, she's cold, calculating and utterly regal. Throw in her technique and exquisite musicality, and it's no wonder I can't stop watching her.

  • Why does no one mention the corps, they hardly ever get the credit they deserve and i think this one did a wonderful job!

  • this version has the creepiest best willies and myrta. :) love it

  • my studio just performed full length Giselle..I was a willie and it was by far one of the most streneous parts I have performed during my 11 years of dancing..but so rewarding!

  • loveeeeeee

  • my studio is doing the full length giselle and im in the willies and it is INTENSE. 

  • Essa é a Myrtha mais poderosa q já vi !!! parabens pela construção da personargem

  • There are both things I like and I don´t like of this version. Let´s start by the positive aspects. MARIANELA. I don´t think I need to say much more. I love the way she "conducts" the willis' movements with her arms. I love the veils on the willis. They add a wonderful touch of mystery.

    Negative aspects: I think a wonderful visual effect was lost from 3:30 to 3:49. Watch Tatyana Terekhova´s Myrtha and the willis and you´ll know what I´m talking about. Those willis' arms are magical.

  • spectacular.....the facial expressions of the Royal Ballet Corps is always something special....they seem to really be in character very moving

  • look at her. my god, i can feel her presence. she's the best and my favorite! i hope Myrtha and the Willis should be made as a full ballet not just part of Giselle; and Marianela should be the first one to dance it.

  • We're dancing this for our spring show - I'm Myrtha and a member of the corps. Both are such demanding roles. The corps really should be given more credit. By the end of the Willies dance, I feel as bad as I do at the end of Myrtha's first variation.

    Either way, this is by far my favorite interpretation of this ballet. Chilling and beautiful.
