Eva was glorious. Yes, she was the greatest prima ballerina dancing romantic era roles, but she could do anything. A brilliant artist.

[@MsDeniseRaquel]

It is lovely to see my Aunt Eva and partner dance. I believe Eva was in her forties here.

[@Foundingmother1]

She had gorgeous solid technique. Many current dancers now seem to be performing a gymnastics with extreme high extensions to impress rather than pure ballet technique .

[@pavlaki1]

She was 43 years old here. Sadly missed by many. She could do a sharper style of dancing just as well as the romantic roles she became so famous for, and what a fabulous partner in Laurent Hilaire!

[@danceartjoy]

Beautiful Eva. You are missed. Your unique artistry and pure spirit remain a guiding light.

[@user-ec6lt4kn3v]

Unique, sublime, wonderful Eva! She lives on in our hearts forever!

[@user-tk7zf4he9r]

Божественная Ева, потрясающая красота танца, законченные позы,исключительная музыкальность. Прекрасный партнёр. Ну прямо в самое сердце!

[@stephaniecruvant9130]

Evdokimova dances, flows, IS the music! I can't take my eyes off her.. The phrasing, like being transported to a a wold where we dance our lives!

[@siegfried923]

Sublime one of the best ive seen do this! Difficult no only technically but also in execution - keeping the Hungarian style and character throughout

[@pediatrapaola]

she was great expecially in romantic roles was amazing sylph and iconic giselle ,l saw in such roles ,a pity so few filmed about her.

[@Royalbrettania]

[@user-tk7zf4he9r]

Лоран Илер замечательный в высшей степени , невероятный танцовщик ,просто браво! Ева лучшая из лучших.

[@ai51inn]

This is so beautiful! Thanks for posting. Wonderful that Laurent Hilaire is now passing on his artistry to the young dancers at POB, as Nureyev passed on to him when he was director.

[@moushka26]

Superb! Evdokimova is new to me. What a great ballerina. Hilaire - amazing. This is a treasure. Thank you for posting.

Ottimo mantenimento delle pose figurali alcune delle quali inedite ed estremamente accattivanti in particolare nel balletto d'ensemble.Notevoli i passi sulle punte in eundo della ballerina. Impressione d esecutivita ' d'acchito e ottima l'enfatizzazione commediale al fine dell'esecutivita'. MOLTO CAPACI.BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO

C'est incroyable! C'est superbe!

[@samadhi65]

The best Dancer, I have ever seen; I lived her performance in Deutsche Oper Berlin.

[@susannevollmer2347]

Es sind die Besten. They are the bests!

[@Frenchmisto]

Outstanding!!!

[@judithbooth4855]

What a charming man! I know he is idolized by fans of the POB for his incredible dancing but even if he were not that marvelous dancer one would have to love him for his charm which radiates even across time, space and electronic equipment..Not many dancers have this much charisma .. Few today that I can think of.

[@avesraggiana]

Completely agree.

[@IceAintNice]

Agree and he is very charming in interviews as well.

Oh what a loss. I have never seen either before. Thank yo for the lovely posting.

[@isabeldiezlangre9411]

Maravillosos bailarines, Raymonda y Jean de Brian perfectos. Laurent tuvo un gran maestro, el genial Rudolf Nureyev. Le enseñó el ballet Raymonda en 1983, cuando llegó como Director a la Ópera de París. Eva la delicadeza absoluta. Bailo mucho con Nureyev. Magnificos

[@user-kj7hc8ub4s]

Партнер прекрасен!

Amazing!

[@martinahardt6927]

Thanks of posting 😍❣️

[@litoboy5]

amazing !!!

[@user-cb3bz1vk2h]

すてきすぎ😂

[@avesraggiana]

I never knew that Evdokimova’s feet were so expressive, and so beautiful. The ONE THING I would wish for in her variation, is the one thing almost no Raymonda does - a loud, resounding hand clap every time, that reverberates throughout the auditorium. Doing that would really snap you to attention, and compel you to really appreciate its Hungarian folk-dance flavour.

[@kabardinka1]

Plisetskaya does the variation with a great clap and terrific Central European feel to it. People always applaud her Kitri and Odile, but she was also the best Raymonda.

[@tarantellalarouge7632]

This part is called "la claque" in French. and I can tell you that Sylvie Guillem put all his temper in it !!!

[@victoriapulkkinen4691]

Евдокимова танцевала с Р.Нуреевым!А он танцевал с самыми лучшими!❤

[@lorakarlash248]

В дуэте с Александром Годуновым - было шикарно

[@1931JC]

marvelous couple. Both clean, sure and most of all graceful. Where is their home ?company

[@voraciousreader3341]

Hilario isn’t in sync and looks like he didn’t want to be there, quite unusual. I bailed just after the first minute.
