My time machine that brought me to Galina Mezentseva's 35th birthday on November 8, 1987 had more goodies for me. After the long class, I went to the Kirov cafeteria and ate lunch with the birthday girl. I missed the beginning of the next rehearsal, but I came back to see the end of the rehearsal.
This rehearsal is Swan Lake , with the star of the 1968 Kirov film of Swan Lake, Elena Evteyeva ( Yelena Yevteyeva ), as Odette and Alexander Kurkov as Prince Siegfried. The coach is Vladilen Semenov , the husband of Irina Kolpakova .
This was an exciting day at the Kirov because I also got to see a wonderful performance of La Sylphide with a very promising 21 year old ballerina , Zhanna Ayupova . A phenomenal day at the Kirov.

  • who were the 2 watching?

  • conheci galina mezentseva em uma fita vhs do ballet giselle que ganhei ha algum tempo, assisti inumeras vezes e de todos que assisti sempre tive comigo a certeza que ela foi a melhor gisele que ja vi ver que compartilho esta opinião é gratificante e emocionante

  • What a great Odette she was, a great tragedienne!!!

    Those very slow pirouettes, penche, attitude, and the way she leans on her partner, with every sutle movement she can tell us the vivid emotion and the story...

  • Beautiful, and your notes are delightful.

  • She is a jewel of Russian Ballet; she is a legend and an inspiration for me.

    There is something in her... that unique musical instinct
