This is a filmed interview with Alicia Alonso talking about the challenges of dancing Act 2 of ‘Giselle’.
This interview is accompanied by early black and white footage of this great ballerina performing sections of this act of the ballet.
MrQbenDanny very kindly identified the Albrechts here - in the first clip, Igor Youskevitch and in the second, Azari Plisetsky (from the 1963 movie when she was 43 yrs old.
The opening image for this video is of Alonso in Act 2 of 'Giselle' - a studio portrait taken by Cecil Beaton in 1955.
Enjoy!
