i went to the gala in 2011 at Lincoln center and got her autograph (she was sitting two seats in front of me). it was probably the happiest day in my ballet life.
-
@MsGrrrl You are joking, surely...
-
I remember seeing this version before. She had to go back to the stage something like eight times, because the people just didnt stop applauding. The audience was so right: she is the best!
-
Guapa!
-
RUSSIANS the BEST !
LOVE !
-
She danced with such purity of the line, regal deportment , exquisite epaulement and port de bras!
-
She was 49 years old during this production and yet she looks like a young girl and makes an amazing performance!
-
Classical ballet is such an exquisite thing. It is not for all. And this piece in particular. It is the gem of the gems. Kolpakova is iconic here... I don't know anyone who could be called iconic in this part after Kolpakova. By the way she is simply quite old here already. And still, you can only see it in some moments. I am glad the Kirov does remember how to dance it.
-
I don't really like her style of dancing this particular variation, but she did dance it (in the technical way) perfectly, so I must give her props
-
She perfectly did Aurora when she danced at Kirov ballet, she was almost the best Aurora of that time, but what i find a bit unpleasant to eyes is that she does not (or can't) turn her legs out when she's doing ecartee from 1.32.

You call yourself a "ballerina" yet you have no idea who Irina Kolpakova is? That's a shame.

what a terribly rude person you are ballerina08! I'm sorry for you.
This is one of the greatest Auroras, reknowned for her classicism, her musicallity, her understanding of the subtleties of vaganova style and the role of Aurora. She has influenced most Auroras at the Mariinsky and many at the ABT (where she coaches).
If she looks 30 to you it is an accomplishment in itself because she is 52 in this video. This is her farewell and the applause is the whole of her remarkable career.
