  • Never have I have seen a more impressive Nikia. Chances are I never will. I hope Alina will dance this role in every country of the world to being as many people as possible closer to God.

  • Her variation was beautiful and ver exciting, but in my opinion her death scene could be better. I'm not saying I didn't like it, quite the contrary, but in some parts she didn't even look in pain. Nevertheless, I think Somova is a very expressive dancer (her withering look @6:06 could make a temple crumble) and she has plenty of time to grow into the role, which IMO is her best one yet.

  • Она прекрасна! Браво!

  • so happy I came across this vid of Alina... It really changed the way I view her as a dancer. I'm glad she's starting to rely on her artistry and emotion instead of flexibility tricks. Amazing job Alina! :)

  • She has improved a lot. This is the first time I saw her as a ballerina and not some ballet student.

  • @calipso1010 I disagree with the first part of your comment. The company is three-century old, yes, but the management isn't; and some of its wonderful dancers are being treated very unfairly by the director. There are dancers stuck as coryphées or second soloists that could be stars but unfortunately will never get to dance major roles (Selina and Martynyuk to name a few examples). It's a pity that the best company in the world suffers under such a negligent manegent...

  • очень рвано и неровно, по-ученически. и, как обычно, ощущение, что она не всегда справляется с собственным телом. до примы, хотя ее ею и сделали, еще очень далеко.

  • @MrRight1000 I tend to agree. After all, almost three century old company knows better who to cast and in what role. Obraztsova doesn't like it? Too bad, she can continue to perform Swan Lake @ Stanislavsky's Theatre. Why would anyone want to have another ROH or ABT? I hope that Mariinsky remains as unique as it has been so far. After all it is the Mariinsky!

  • GODDESS!!!
