Such an engaging performance! Thank you for uploading.

Oh my goodness! I have always wanted to see more of Evgenia in Swan Lake. I always wished she danced it more. Thank you! Please post more off this performance if you have it.

the bolshoi doesn’t allow for it because of her height … the poor thing is only 5’4 😹… the only reason we see her as odile is because another company will request her. still, she always does an outstanding job 💟

[@cynthiafletcher9845]

They are ravishing together. What a beautiful pas de deux!! Love them both. ❤❤❤

[@momentarilylapse]

Whoa! When did this happen, and was the full show recorded? I somehow missed this. Love her!

[@williamdeng1870]

What an excellent performance!

Я люблю Евге́ния. Her attitude line is magnificent and she is one my favorite ballerinas. She’s beautiful in all of her roles but she will ALWAYS be the greatest Cupid 💘 of Dream Scene in Don Quixote! She is iconic in a small role but has set the bar for all who dare try the role. Beautiful Odile as well. Спасибо большое 🇵🇹🇧🇷🇷🇺🇺🇦🇷🇴🩰 1:28

What a great partnership! I've only seen her do the Bourmeister version, so this was a treat I did notice she doesn't quite close to retiree on the fouettes and wonder if she might have wanted to take them at a slightly slower tempo. The lift/portage at :36 is glorious!

[@BalletomaneM]

Yes, she and Steven have always had a good chemistry, I wish they could have danced together more.

[@stevie8763]

Yes, she needed to be slower and even the Orchestra struggled to keep up with her, I thought they ere going through the sound barrier.

[@conrads1951]

It is kinda nice to see a mistake-- she really does fall out after those fouettes, I think, yes?-- but the acting by both is so wonderful throughout, that a miscalculation/slip-up such as this one strikes me as welcome evidence that we are seeing an appropriately exciting performance, in this scene, by artists who this night were giving 110%. Think of Richter's famous wrong note at his most lauded performance of Pictures at an Exhibition, in his Sofia recital. Steven is such a responsive partner; this is hardly his best role, but he gives us a lot of what he does have to give: a character alive in every moment. I think this might be my favorite version of this scene ever: they make me believe in the characters; they are not merely dancing.

Yikes. 8:17. The comments rolling out on the top right screen are very critical.

[@nuriaoriannayorlano8953]

Please remove this pas de deux immediately because E. O. Bratzova did not do well at all. If you at least had the other 3 performances where she did fantastic, I wouldn't say anything. So remove it before Eugenia and the Royal sue you and close your channel. Please!!!!!

[@BalletomaneM]

It's really not that serious lol.

[@stevie8763]

KZbin allow clips but not complete performances. Its called 'Fair Use' and a key is keeping it short. KZbin would take it down quicky if they thought there was a possibility of legal action. If ROH had any objections they could easily have this taken down, but they wont because it is good publicity for them. So talk of anyone sueing anyone is rather silly talk. The suggestion to take it down because the performance wasnt good is even dafter. Asking 'Please' wont help you either, but as a third party you can request it be taken down if it breaches KZbin policy, which it clearly doesnt. I hope this helps you with your problem.

In live performances, some mistakes or mishaps happen, it makes artists more human . Her slip didn’t take away the overall magic of the PDD.
