I do think Acosta is the best male dancer in the world.
Rojo..It's difficult to say because her Juliet is sublime and she admits to not acting so well in "plain roles" like Aurora. But I always thought the Black Swan number was always good to act to. So it's difficult to say whether you can judge her acting in this or not..

swan lake is a right of passage for us ballerinas. its like winning the lottery to get to perform it twice, even once. she is ruining her chance and her right of passage. DRY

She doesn't interest me at all.. stone-faced almost the entire time.. : /
Check out Maya Plisetskaya's 1957 performance. The best Odile ever, IMHO..

his Cabrioles are breathtaking!

I love her technique. She's so amazing. I don't care that she's cold here, her dancing is amazing. I love Gillian Murphy too!

that stage is ridiculously small. i would rather have a whole staging of swan lake without props on that stage to give the dancers a bit more room to breathe...
carlos acosta is MAGNIFICENT. but again, you can tell he was holding back a lot because of the size of the stage.
i watched this straight after watching rojo do don quixote, so yes i found her pretty boring in this until after she finished her fouettes when she finally relaxed. maybe this role just isn't for her...
what criticism of one of the most exquisite ballerinas of her generation.All dancers put their interpretation of odile in their dancing.Tamara obviously prefers the enigmatic approach which I prefer,Odile shouldn't be smiling and charming she's bad and and should show a wicked expression out of the princes eye.
If you want to see acting ability go to the Royal Shakespeare co. Tamara's balances are breathtaking particularly in Don Quixote.She finishes her fouettes on point with no tremors,superb

Tamara's black swan interpretation is the perfect example how great technique on its own doesn't make a great ballet dancer, nor a great memorable performance. Tamara doesn't give any emotion, or artistry to this character; just mere execution is all she does. The dullest, most boring black swan I've seen. What a pity for a truly outstanding artist like Acosta to have such a BORING partner.
