In the middle somewhat elevated: Sylvie Guillem-Laurent Hilaire

In the middle somewhat elevated Sylvie Guillem Laurent Hilaire-2003

[@francinesicard464]

Technically and artistically, few are her equal. With Laurent Hilaire a delight to watch!

[@fabiesque]

Her styling and looks are also immaculate. Never seen anything that glamourous in the world of ballet and dance.

I saw Ms Guillem performing this at Lincoln Center, 3 decades(?) ago. Her entrance was one of the most explosive entries on to a stage of any performance I've ever seen. I felt like I got hit with a sledgehammer it was so remarkable. One of the greatest ballet performances. This is an amazing ballet. Thank you for posting it.

God I am sooo jealous......you were sooo lucky to be there! (-:

Habe nur einmal eine bessere Umsetzung dieses Themas gesehen, das ist schon lange her. Ein absolutes Hoch und Bravo für meine Lieblingssolistin Sylvie.

안무, 댄서들도 좋았지만 음악때문에 단 3일하는 공연 휴가내고 연속관람했었는데. 다시 보고 싶은 작품이에요,

[@bobousnik]

Bravo....

[@signoramaigret]

Grande coreografia.

[@nuriavedette]

La amooooo por siempre gracias kabainsvansko tkm

[@didierduplenne2325]

can this interpretation ever be surpassed or just even equalled ?

[@fabiesque]

there is no way

[@gargamelle8049]

J'aimerais que l'opéra reprenne ce ballet, mais qui pour reprendre cette interprétation?

[@dwetzy]

I think this video might be mislabelled; I don't think this is Sylvie Guillem. It doesn't look like her and her execution and interpretation is significantly different that her earlier performances (see the second half of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHmqamaCfNaSi9k).

Sylvie Guillem-Laurent Hilaire-Teatro Real, Madrid. Gala 2003.

[@mariomarozzi4659]

what are you talking about? Can't you recognize her?!?!?

[@scottishphotographer]

This is 16 years after she first performed it and it does look a bit under-rehearsed (as if often the case with these galas). But it is certainly Sylvie.

[@1225rosechoco]

I don't like this camera working

[@delphinec9307]

Who are the other dancers at the end?

[@annedurieux4117]

Ce serait intéressant de voir Zakharova danser cette variation

[@laurelovemkup]

THIS is NOT SYLVIE GUILLEM ! FOR SURE! This women is very good but doesn't have the rythm of sylvie... and she doesn't take the same risks than her! Sylvie is playing with this ballet... like no other one!

[@scottishphotographer]

Yes, it is Sylvie! Check out the bows at around 4'20".... definitely her and Laurent.

[@fabiesque]

ahahahahahahahahahahahaah of course it's Sylvie. If you know her body, her movements then you recognize her (which should already happen by looking at the face....)
