She has a wondrously phantom-like quality in this role...conveys the ambiguity of the story so well...is she a dream, is she real, is she a bit of both....she and he makes us invested and emotionally involves in discerning this, and probably no two audience members will come up with exactly the same answer!

[@knothead35]

What kind of magical candle is that? This is spectacular..never heard of this ballet. She's my fave and he's just...well, just fantastic

[@misskfountain4070]

No matter how many times I see this, it’s always a thrill. Beyond beautiful!

[@jonnarobinson7541]

I have only seen this ballet once danced by a regional company. It was gorgeous. I do not know why it is not performed more often. This clip was simply gorgeous.

[@carinamoses2704]

That brief pause before she keeps moving serenely past him - it says so much with so little emphasis - bravissimo and bravissima! What Chekhovian quietude of emotion. Beautiful and very psychologically detailed - what amazing artists they both are.

[@Po-zi2hj]

Both so very incredible!!!

[@giuliorenzobighin8165]

Anche attorialita ' in questo balletto che contempla altresì i passi sulle punte in eundo veloce della ballerina e la assistenza del partner MOLTO efficace.Ottimp il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante.Molto bravi. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO

I've just known the title and wondering what it looks like. Mikhail's acting is very great here.

[@simonedevlin7710]

Flutter motion of the prima ballerina Alessandra is the perfect complement to Misha's featherly light movements. It is so difficult to wear a floor length costume and dance unemcumbered. This has to be one of my favorite ballets besides Black Swan.Thank you.

Bellissimi

Ella es lo máximo, su expresividad y su técnica, perfecta. La amé.

[@carinamoses2704]

Such gentle partnering - he had the strength of technique to be able to not focus on technical skills in the pas de deux, which makes everything so much subtler and gentler - the way he touches her oh so briefly and her free leg rises to arabesque says so much and is a beautiful poetic stage image.

[@michaelbrodsky1221]

My favorite passage in all of ballet. Thanks so very much for posting this--at last. Extremely grateful. Terrific pairing of B & F.

[@GabrielaMedinaCastro]

Amazing... absolute beauty and perfection... I'm still under their spell...

[@BytomGirl]

Beautiful and tragic.. I saw the full ballet and cried at the end, what jealousy and revenge can do and how it can ruin lives. . Alessandra is so young here I hardly recognized her :)

[@lindildeev5721]

Still, kissing a maid just because she won't notice is not a very good thing.

[@jackiedaniel2502]

The way this whole performance billows when she moves imazing no techno physics here

She was so beautiful, and she still is today.

[@mphilia]

This is one of the most impressive ballet and also music.

[@jillgooner]

they were suited physically as although petit had such strong stage presence. She is adorable in this role and he is so masculine and such a great actor. Two of the best dancers ever put on the planet.

[@yp3424]

The original music is by Vinc. Bellini & his operas "La Sonnambula" & "I Puritani". Rieti arranged & re-orchestrated it.

[@user-pl3rt6ol3h]

Божественно!

[@sergiochandia8467]

Alesandra.....la más hermosa

[@carinamoses2704]

So many ballerinas do penchee as just another acrobatic trick - she makes it so musically appropriate and gorgeously storytelling! She really makes us feel the mercurial emotions of the music and of a character of two minds about whether to recognize the Poet's ambition and desperate desire to become close to her.

[@Mioxyui12]

Incredible

[@mariapereda9006]

beautiful!!

[@jackiedaniel2502]

Wow!

[@yp3424]

The original music is by the famous Italian opera composer Vincenzo BELLINI,(Catania,1801-Puteaux,Paris Sep. 1835). Vittorio Rieti, later, made an arrangement based on themes mainly from his opera "La Sonnambula" & secondly from "I Puritani",his last work.

[@candidacarino669]

Thank you very much @ Comeinunospecchio for showing us - - La Sonnambula - - both dancers are great & extraordinary. Ferri's @ 3:32 movement had caught my eye - - she's absolutely a refined dancer.

[@susanliebl9019]

Alessandra, although technically superb, is too sane for this role. I saw Gelsey Kirkland dance this role in the 80's. She imbued it with just the right amount of lunacy which gave the dance a frenzied, mystical quality.

[@MMMa3]

Personally I'd rather see a 'too sane' dancer than someone who has "the right amount of lunacy" due to starving and cocaine....

[@susanliebl9019]

See the full ballet, has a tragic end, she is asleep the whole time and sleep walking and doesn't know what she is doing and her jealous lover murders him, stabs him with the knife.

[@roslynwilliams950]

These days it would be problematic that the poet kisses and attempts to seduce a sleep-walking woman...

[@Marcel_Audubon]

@@roslynwilliams950 yes, they'd have to stage it a little differently - him looking over his shoulder to make sure no one saw him before going into the alcove is a little cringy today
