PART ONE:

So what if Aurora or Giselle Or Odette can break her back or lift her leg so high you'd think there was someone above her pulling a rope attached to her ankle? If she cannot make the audience believe that she is who she's trying to portray then she has, in a sense, failed because she hasn't emotionally connected with the character.

the problem is that this is the Mariinsky reconstruction of Petipa's original 1890 production. I attended a performance w Zakharova in this production @ the Mariinsky, & most of the audience was appalled at the way in which she handled this role. Of course she was much younger then & younger dancers are almost always obsessed w/ technique above all else. She danced like a rhythmic gymnist en pointe than a Ballerina & one could not help but think that Maestro Petipa was turning over in his grave

i disagree, although many people like alina's rendition, i find i am not captivated at all when i see her rendition...i dont feel a good stage presence from her...

[andu9tim]

There are alot of ballerinas that did those developes at the begining as well as Svetlana.Take Olesya Novikova for exemple.Check her out

her interpretation seems a bit too stuffy for aurora. it didnt seem very youthful.
