2008 Mariinsky Ballet Sleeping Beauty Variation of Aurora 3rd ACT Ekaterina Osmolkina

[@juliac8175]

I'm not sure how anyone could ever dislike this. It is beautiful! Beautiful and perfect job!!!

[@noblesetsentimentales]

I can't believe she never became a ballerina of the Mariinsky. She certainly deserved it a lot more than many that have been promoted ahead of her. Oh and he tempo is just right. It's just that we've gotten used to dancers slowing everything down so much that every time we encounter a more musically correct tempo it strikes us as "rushed".

[@austinacmes]

Still the best version I have seen. Such lively performance. She was in the character of a playful 16 year old. Agree costume could be improved and would be perfect if she wasn't a tad late in the turns at the end. But after watching many other versions of this variation, this is still the best so far. She is actually dancing.

[@inesdeerausquin5658]

So pretty! She is so charming and playful. And really, who cares that her shoes are a bit beat up?? Means she's been working hard! And no one in a live audience would ever see that, it's just the close-up video that makes it noticeable.

[@Flippables]

I LOVE costumes and set design in this one.

[@trivia-love]

It's the best version!!! I Love it -3

[@benedicte8684]

She is beautyful and she have totally controll. I love her tutu.

[@ИринаКоростышевская-г4т]

Вас также от всей души благодарю что нашли кусок версии Спящей красавицы постановки 1999 года!! Сразу узнала!! прекрасно помню хоть и смотрела будучи больной и с температурой!!и до сих пор хвалю себя что поехала тогда в ноябре в ГАБТ во время гастролей Мариинского театра с этой версией!! Это был поистине уникальный шедевр!!костюмы и декорации все те же из той эпохи!!я это отлично помню из книг и по фильму Анна Павлова!! В связи с этим хотела бы и вас попросить может найдете ещё более так сказать большие фрагменты этой версии?? Дело в том что администрация Мариинского театра не позволила семку!!и этой версии по телевидению никогда не видать!! Но я не сомневаюсь что у многих есть чуть ли не полное видео этого чуда!!во всяком случае у артистов Мариинки уж точно!! Вы называетесь All Balet!!у вас наверняка есть связи с труппой Мариинского театра!! Может быть вы сможете помочь найти хорошие большие фрагменты этой версии?? даже картины??и таким образом создать это чудо здесь!!в интернете!!так как повторяю рассчитывать на ТВ бесполезно!!!

[@brennens8849]

[@angelgirl8533]

She is a perfect Princess Aurora.

[@williamdeng1870]

What a beautiful performance! If the dance skirt is raised a little higher, it may better show Ekaterina Osmolkina’s graceful figure.

[@TheBallet1]

Osmolkina is poetry in motion

[@benedicte8684]

She is elegant too :-)

[@ИринаКоростышевская-г4т]

Я случайно перепутала название!! Balet All!!вот теперь правильно!! Но я надеюсь что вы не примете всерьез эту ошибку??и поможете мне воссоздать здесь в интернете!! это чудо!!

[@kdub10009]

Lovely performance. I still don’t understand, though, why the Mariinsky ballerinas are taught to time the sissones in such a way that it feels way off the music; it really diminishes the impact of that whole section of choreography.

[@timothyswan567]

it's my dream to perform at the marinsky theater and be the first en pointe male prima ballerina

[@trappedinside1]

This is a much simpler version in comparison to many others I've come across, which almost surprises me knowing how advanced the Russian ballet dancers are. However, when the camera did close-ups, you could see the intricacies in her hands, neck, and the emotion in her face. All of the movement was flawless and looked effortless. Wasn't a fan of the tutu, but overall a great rendition of this classic variation.

[@BboyFarii]

This is a reconstruction from Petipa's notations of choreographies so it should be the most classical and accurate version of them all.

[@noblesetsentimentales]

@@BboyFarii Actually, this is the same "after Petipa" choreography used in the Soviet-era productions. For some reason no attempts were made to reconstruct the Act III pas de deux. It's still a very beautiful version, though, and I don't see why it would be considered overly simple or not advanced enough, as per the OP. In some ways it's more difficult that other versions.

[@Smadamee]

@VampsAreLovee But it didn't spoil her dancing!

[@jjtimmins1203]

How is that even possible.

[@lizardinabigwizardhat]

Years upon years upon years upon years upon years upon years of practice and perfecting and more practice and rehearsal and class and money and determination.

[@spotlessmcpartland]

Liz D. And a good teacher. mcp

[@xxangierulzxx]

@VampsAreLovee i dont think anybody has pointe shoes that are clean unless you never wore them. She cant wear new pointe shoes because they need to be broken into. What do you expect the floor to be sparking clean.

[@potatohead4871]

maby the the costume would look better with only purple

[@skylarpierce-smith3245]

What is this song?

[@gzucc]

Why"

[@annabelleminkova1620]

her points are so dead :-/ must be painful.

[@darciidark2106]

Annabelle Minkova, it isn't. We dancers have special materials included in our shoes, that allow us to stand on point without any pain. was that helpful?

[@hilarycoombes9994]

i think she mean that her pointe shoes are "dead".

[@krazy77grl]

I looooove her tutu! But I find her pointe shoes distracting... Wish they were prettier?

[@lem1198]

@VampsAreLovee horrible to see this comment

[@flaviasandoli848]

K

[@isabellacurtis999]

those pointe shoes are so dead and old looking… they look like rehearsal shoes, not new pretty show shoes.

[@saltyblonde09]

What dancer??

[@discontinuedpleasegoaway]

Ekaterina Osmolkina. It says in the description.

[@sippysippymcjesus9172]

+ThatOneGirl_13 Not even the description but the FREAKING title.

[@discontinuedpleasegoaway]

+silver_cupcake lol it bugs me when people ask those questions when the name is in the title.

[@sippysippymcjesus9172]

+ThatOneGirl_13 And where people ask questions that are answered in the video. Like seriously, WTF?

[@delapotoci]

Ses a beautiful dancer but the whole time i felt like the dance was a bit rushed, if she didnt just simply put a smile on Her face and actually felt and expressed every moment it would have been better. A good example of some some one who didnt rush was diana v. Also a russian dancer. Also who desifned that costume?!!! I get that you have to try new things but UGH! Dats ugly!

[@mikaylahorvath550]

Michael Derfield she did a beautiful job to me and it is the best I have seen out of the variations that others do

[@VampsAreLovee]

her pointe shoes are so dirty...horrible to see
