She has a totally unfussy technique which makes everything look easy, and she performs as though she had all the time in the world whatever the tempo. Her pointe work is exquisite, as are her arms. She is is petite but that does not stop her from using the whole stage. Her acting and stage presence are of the highest order. I'm very happy about her promotion and I hope we can continue to enjoy her performances for many more years.

@lburgess633 жыл бұрын
@@elizzy8754 At about 2:33 (your timing may vary), during her hops on point diagonal, you can see the shoe on her supporting foot start to go. It's pretty subtle. But hops like this shoes, since it's your full body weight multiplied by the force of the hop. To spot it, replay the diagonal, and look at the angle of her foot, especially at the big toe. She starts very strong; the shoes are obviously plenty hard, judging by the look of her pointed feet. But as she works the diagonal, she's gradually sinking in her shoe. Then, on the third hop (or fourth, sorry, check it) you can spot a nasty surprise as the shoe collapses at the throat (look at the change in the angle of her ankle). She holds it just fine, although I bet that final hop is basically brute strength and adrenaline. Then she has the entire second half to get through, which she does like a boss and the pro she is. Focusing only on the overall picture, and you'd never guess anything was amiss. But it's not like the woman can't do double turns, as the rest of this video proves decisively. I bet once in her dressing room, she ripped those suckers off and threw them at a wall or something.

Она особенная, невероятно талантливая, даже слов не нахожу, чтобы выразить свои впечатления. Увидела её по интернету несколько лет назад и сразу обратила внимание, с годами она танцует лучше и лучше. Отношусь к ней с восторгом как к балерине, она именно танцует, академично, музыкально, очень красиво, всегда костюмы с большим вкусом. Уважаю как умного человека за правильные взгляды на жизнь и семью, она просто молодец, троих деток родила и в такой идеальной форме. Сейчас артистки балета замуж выходят, деток рожают, сочетают творчество и личную жизнь, можно только порадоваться, раньше это было практически невозможно. Леонид Сарафанов вызывает огромное восхищение, танцовщик каких в мире единицы. Счастья их семье.

I'm curious, what is the back story of why it took her so long to be promoted? I put her up there with Osipova and Zakharova as among the best living ballerinas, and I actually think she encompasses the Mariinsky ideal more than anyone. The fact that roles as different as Giselle, Kitri, Aurora, Odette/Odile and Gamzatti are equally stunning is just unparalleled in my opinion.

I absolutely agree with you. Novikova is one of the most accomplished, unique and exquisite dancers of all time, right up there with the best of the best! It is very strange that her rightful promotion took so long coming. The only reason I know of that may have held back an earlier promotion is the fact that she was on maternity leave 3 times. She is a devoted mother as well as an incredible artist.
@galiamarkova37757 ай бұрын
The reason is well known in Russia. Her husband Leonid Sarafanov was a dancer in the Mariinsky theater, but he decided to leave the theatre, dissatisfied with his position there. So the director Fateyev took revange on Olesia not promoting her. I admire her strength and endurance all these years.

Thank you. They announce the prima ballerina at the end of one of her performances. In Novikova's case, it was after one of her signature roles, "Raymonda". The director comes on stage with flowers & announces the new prima, after which shimmering confetti falls down on Olesya. Here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqeldqlpa5uCeNE The main difference between prima ballerina & first soloist is the status & pay. In Novikova's case, her promotion took very long in coming & she was dancing exclusively principal roles, while other first soloist regularly still perform second to lead roles like Gamzatti, Lilac Fairy, Myrtha, etc. Hope that helps.
