Oooh, Alexandrova has a really evil Gamzatti! I am overly impressed.

This is the right role for Alexandrova. As for Lopatkina, I am yet to see a role in which she wasn't at the top. She is the living legend in her lifetime.

An exact copy of the traditional Kirov take - which means it is good! Loads of fun too. Things only get iffy when they try to 'improve' the great works.

@Mashka8888 She is my fav. dancer right now...she always brings tears to my eyes...not to mention she's absolutely beautiful...her soul breathes through her dance

That would be a "off with their head!" mistake! LOL

[Zolyushka95]

@iczerman It's also sad that she's using everything she knows to get Nikiya to leave Solor-she's trying to intimidate her with her rank, threaten, or bribe her. Come to think of it, those tactics are probably what her father used with her to get her to do something.

The Gammi thing is so adorable though. I can just see her fuming if someone called her that!

I wish I could perform this one day.. <3

That Gamzatti is hard to beat. She's perfect.

Zakharova is the greatest ballerina of all time, past and present. She is perfection. She has the technique, emotion, plasticity, legs and feet, body and of course a face to die for. She is great in all the work she did, including Don Quixote. She is a goddess and beyond human.
