Roberto Bolle Giselle and Sleeping Beauty Variations

[@lavandeyracaro]

This video showed me a very human side of Roberto that I didn't know, his beauty and princely bearing are indisputable! In this video I really liked seeing him dance Sleeping Beauty (I had never seen him in that role) Thank you!❤

[@KentGBecker]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@cjinpa5713]

I think it’s such an honor to even see these dancers on KZbin so I can’t even imagine what it must’ve been like in person and repeatedly.

[@KentGBecker]

It was great to see Roberto dance at ABT. I saw him many times. Unfortunately, I never saw Baryshnikov dance live.

[@garyguo7353]

Roberto gives his everything to ballet. He then gives everything of his ballet to the world gracefully and sincerely. He deserves love and respect. Great man!

[@douglaslucas2155]

Thanks for another excellent video with incisive commentary.

[@roadoc100]

He is definitely a prince. Thank you for sharing other aspects of his life. An inspiration. Thank you again. I don’t know anything about ballet other than I love it, im a patron of the Miami City Ballet where im from but I dream of witnessing a world class ballet company.

[@KentGBecker]

Thanks for watching!

[@misspomerol]

THank you so much for supporting the arts. As a retired professional ballet dancer myself, it’s people like you that make what we do possible, especially in America where everything Has to rely so heavily on private donation because the government subsidization of the arts in virtually nonexistent today

[@WaKincaid]

I can’t believe my eyes , perfection exists!

[@catherinejones9396]

I think Bolle, after Barishnikov is my favourite male ballet dancer. Others like Kimin are coming along brilliantly but Roberto's meticulous dancing and his command of stage as well as his ability to star, yet stay inclusive of and in sync with the rest of the cast will stay in my mind forever. I adored his sense of fun that came out in some of his work as well. 🌹🌹🌹Thank you for this great video.

[@jessiahstalbirds.j.794]

One of my favorite videos on KZbin was the parenting of Marianela Nunez and Roberto Bolle. What can one say about two Icons of the Ballet World except ... Perfection.

[@anitaopel3435]

He is lovely!

[@jonnarobinson7541]

Thank you again for a wonderful video ❤. I believe Roberto Bollo it’s a very good dancer, but, however, he does not belong in the greatest category.

[@Manuela6947]

No entiendo porque no esta en la mejor categoria. Le sigo desde hace años y he visto su evolución. Al principio tenia cierta rigidez de movimientos, pero con los años creo que actualmente está por derecho propio entre los mejores. Las dificultades que tiene por su estructura corporal son mayores que las de cualquier otro bailarin. Sin embargo ha ido puliendo su estilo y yo diria que esta entre los tres mejores a nivel mundial. Bravo Roberto, por el esfuerzo y por la belleza que sabes crear.💐💐💐💐

[@minissa2009]

Love Bolle, and he seems like a good and considerate partner, which not all danseurs of his stature are.

[@WaKincaid]

The greats walk in their own light, make dance seem effortless, light as air, they are Recipients of a gift of dance , grace, and a something extra we are privileged to witness ,& admire. Thank you for this gift of a tribute of Bolle bravo.

[@KentGBecker]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@richardcleveland8549]

Many thanks for a wonderful video of an exceptional human being who just happens to be one of the greatest dancers in the world. Roberto il bellissimo, Roberto il divino, Roberto il magnifico! Sighhhhhhhhhhhhh . . . .

[@yitsierojas]

Roberto Bolle is stunning. ..amazing and awesome!

[@misspomerol]

I know that there are a lot of older commenters here talking about Vasiliev but this man has lines that are unbelievable. Vassiliev could jump into the rafters but he couldn’t always straighten his knee is in the process. It’s 2023 now even the men have to straighten her knees and point their feet. You have to have exaggerated hyperextended lines just like the women now. Bolle is the total mode4n package.

[@katalinszalai5953]

Csodálatos művész! A világon a legszebb ember!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Awe struck, speechless, humbled , grateful.

[@aggelinairiniaggelaki2720]

I love R. Bolles.

[@viki56k88]

Очень красив и танцор великолепный

[@WaKincaid]

Incredible, evolved , and sophisticated, these mere words fail Genius

[@OFWarhhbTN]

The problem with proclaiming that this artist or that artist is best - and this is true, I think, in any art: music, dance, painting, etc. - the problem is that all are great, and what constitutes "best" is a matter of one’s personal taste. I am lucky that I can enjoy Bolle and his fellow dancers at La Scala Enzi and Sutera, as well as Anthony Dowell, Nureyev, Baryshnikov, Tsikaridze, Vasiliev, and others. I cannot even say who, among those I mentioned, I think best; it’s the one I’m watching at any given time.

[@KSfan4ever]

I am delighted that you mention Nicolai Tsiskaridze because he is my favorite of all of them. His 1998 Bolshoi Albrecht is just sublime.

[@derksonntag5037]

Ich bin glücklich ihn einige Male "erlebt " zu haben.Er ist eine Ausnahmeerscheinung.❤❤❤

[@alaahamza62]

I was fortunate to watch his performance at Baalbeck International Festival 2023 in Lebanon. What a remarkable dancer!

[@David-pt8ge]

I was particularly taken with his performance in Sylvia, which they filmed in London. I thought it suited him technically, while he was able to create a character that is not overly dramatic.

[@gonefishing167]

Wonderful dancer, thank you for this. Picking a favourite is hard but I think I’d have to go with Giselle. And, Darcy has always been a favourite of mine. 🙏🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺🩰🩰🩰🩰

[@chipsanders0822]

Bravo… bravo… bravo! 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻 #I❤RobertoBolle #I❤🩰

[@deborahmarr2210]

At his height I understand he was in great demand as a partner by many of the best ballerinas. I think he was able to enhance and "showcase" their performances with his strong partnering technique, athletic physique and "princely" good looks. I enjoyed him especially with Svetlana Zakharova in "Giselle" and "Swan Lake" and he was wonderfully and suitably godlike as Apollo in Balanchine's "Apollon Musagete".

[@marybrooks.7]

I agree

[@barnabyrt1012]

I love Roberto Bolle 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐🌹

[@leonardflohr8771]

I think one of the greatest solo is also the one in Sylvia

[@jorgeluizvianamazulo9888]

Bravoooo

[@garyguo7353]

I first came to know him when he was chosen to appear in The Longines Watches ambassador book long ago and then knew he is a ballet dancer.

[@AmarAlamdar]

It is difficult to describe that there is an Italian statuesque MAN moving around the stage…. I can only imagine him like a real statue of Michelangelo dancing on the loose.

[@gyorgytibrea4076]

Nagyszerű balettmüvész.

[@timothysmith7888]

I agree with all of your observations And, your photography is beautiful. Roberto Bolle is a classy, masculine and virile ballet superstar, with strong, stretched powerful port de bras that still manages to look graceful. Bolle has impeccably clean lines and technique. And, a😮t 6’2”, I am astonished by his ability to accomplish fully extended, uncharacteristically high develope for male dancers, as well as very high grand battlements in the middle of quick combinations. The Romeo & Juliet magazine cover and photo montage was about as steamily romantic and erotically beautiful as it can get. And, I’ve never seen anyone else accomplish what he does with his arms and torso during his entirechat-six in Giselle, as if his torso is trapped, pleading atop his frantic legs. That takes jaw-dropping control.

[@KentGBecker]

Thanks so much!

[@moiraruff3292]

You can find him handsomely modelling, dancing and posing on a spectacular calendar of Italian monuments. A few years ago, but think it has been published in a book?

[@TheFinnFirm]

Wow

Giselle variation... with a unique exaggerated back bend in landing... minute 9:06 i just saw this video of Vladimir Vasiliev, minute 6;16 à pou près kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYWqe52Kmal5jtU&ab_channel=Maximova%26Vasiliev-Duet

[@alainspiteri502]

two international stars since 1970' in first Mickaël Denard , later Roberto Bolle ; two Artists who danced often out of theirs " House " Paris-Opera for Denard Scala for Bollet and that in greatest stages in the world also with the first ballerinas of our planete . There are difference between them : in erea Denard there were more famous ballerinas than with Bolle , many great stars Kirov-Bolchoi-NCB so Denard had more partners than Bolle ( ten twelve or more ) with erea Bolle less number of great stars in XX century it's a,fact . Two international dancers but Bolle had more technic classical dance but less magnetism on stage , two Apollon Bolle-Denard but esthetic Denard was more perfect ; j talk about two international dancers because before 1978 VHS did'nt exist and Denard less known . J don't think really that Barychnikov had an international career as Denard Bolle it's a fact , Patrick Dupond very short career ( 1980-83) of course Noureev is the Principal genious in XXrm Century .

I gave up after the first third. Denard was better than Bolle maybe?

He IS overrated. I've seen him twice. His technique is solid, he's a beautiful man, he's a good partner, but he leaves me cold.

[@pediatrapaola]

@@Marta44339 obviously he has his lavel and when at his top was as you described but as many others and far inferior to many others and his capacity ,as you say ,to give emotions on stage is frankly very low for exemple in la scala l vastly preferred MASSIMO MURRU whose artistry was all another story

[@alainspiteri502]

@@Marta44339 there is not an other international dancer in this erea so not choice : j have seen 1969-1979 Denard many times with Makarova ( Giselle Paris-Opera 1975 ) also Giselle with Bessmertnova , he was often in Guest at NCB ( Cynthia Gregory was his américan-partner ) ; j have seen Barychnikov in 1975 at Paris-Opera too technic of course Noureev . For me my taste Mickaël Denard Apollon two times his fire bird Palais des sports-Paris 1970 and 75 unforgettable Artist in Guest often by Balanchine USA , Apollon musagete- Balanchine it's Denard , VHS did'nt exist in this erea so no videos Y T with Denard but j think really that later Roberto Bolle is the first international dancer j agree with you a few cool but not overrated he's great
