I just watched the copy of Giselle from 1975 that is at the Lincoln Center Library. It was silent. But the partnership with Kirkland was almost spiritual on the stage. Makarova is such a beautiful dancer but if you watch her after you see Kirkland she looks like a horse because Gelsey was so light. I wish there were some videos that existed for the public aside from the Nutcracker.
what an amazing partnership!!! They are both absolutely amazing and David Blair's productions are the best. ABT should still do these instead of the cut up McKenzie versions.
McKenzie has no business staging ballets.....like that god-awful "Swan Lake". All of ABT's dancers, who incredible beyond anything - are wasting in these shit productions.
