Уваров и Грачева--одна из самых ярких, замечательных пар в истории Большого театра!!!!!

Thank you so much for posting this clip. This couple is my favorite La Bayadere.

Her acting is so infectious. Thank you for uploading this part, too. Please put up her Kindom of Shades part if you have that! Thanks!!

[@brackthomasfischer6139]

Can you please upload the scene where Nikiya and Gamzatti fight?! 💙

[@BytomGirl]

There is a scene of their fight from Mariinsky, Lopatkina and Alexandrova, if you are interested let me know, it is hard to find

Why is her back not straight? When she's pointe her whol body leans forward quite a bit. The other dancers' nikiya versions don't seem to have this problem.

Nadya is not that young here anymore.
