  • ALL prima ballerinas are amazing, each with their own unique qualities. I love Maya, Alicia, Margot, Galina...it doesn't need to be a competition.

  • How is possible compare Maya with Alonso or Fonteyn! Maya is the best!!!

  • It's true, it doesn't have to be a competition. But Maya is still the best.

  • What a beautiful, graceful talented woman! ... She is flawless! ...

  • @ParanoidAndroidDA bad posture? that's a joke right?

  • OMG, the black swan variation was AMAZING!!!!! Maya is perfect. This perfomance is the best i ever seen

  • I have been at this performance - 1977. One of the last Maya's performances in the Swan Lake. She was 52.

  • How can people compare Ms Plisetskaya to Ms Alonso! Two very different dancers!!! Alonso strikes me as more of an Adiagio dancer. Maya is a virtuoso! At her early days, she jumped higher than men and had a kitri jump that still rivals dancers today. I've been videos of when Alonso danced Balanchine's mozart dance with the yellow tutus.... Pure adagio and beautiful! Ps Plisetkaya was how old here? And what year was this? Please don't compare to dancers today.... Different generation!

  • Que placer verlos bailar.

  • I like her but not her walk on the stage, she walks lke a duck and her poses are not very artistic and delicate . This was the first imprtession I got from her when I first saw her in Washington DC many moons ago. I see she did not do the 32 foutees on this video. Dissapointing! No a days I see their own interpretation and do not follow coreagrapy as it was intended.

    I still think she was one of the best of the 20th century
