One of the World_s Greatest Ballerinas Mariinsky Olesya Novikova SleeRose Adagio - YouTube.flv

[@arantzarojas3823]

Best rose adagio I've ever seen! Not only technically beautiful but full of the artistry and characterization of Aurora

[@lavone5541]

Arantza Rojas could i ask you a question? When i watch rose adagio videos, i found that there are two different choreographies for Aurora's entrance. One with jetes and one without. Can you tell me why?

[@sarawelch2060]

Thisya Yogini there is usually the Russian version and the American version

[@kathymyers7279]

Arantza Rojas not technically beautiful?

[@pennyK551]

I agree this is truly beautiful and certainly one of the best but for the absolute best - check out one of the rare clips of Darcey Bussell (Royal Ballet) dancing classical. Her Rose Adagio is the best ever! Full of the most beautiful artistry but also technically superb. She is Sublime.

[@kerrytakashi12]

If you saw Cynthia Gregory, you wouldn't write that this one was the best. That opening, gymnastic split extension was vulgar and flashed the audience like a red district stripper would do.

[@karenkaren3189]

I loved how she presented the second clutch of roses to her parents, I have seen them flung or thrown...she looked with great love and esteem at her parents and gently tossed the roses towards them. Shows a true artistry.

[@anirrelevantchild5516]

It was effortlessly graceful without BEING graceful

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

Karen Katz it was very humble, like telling her parents „you may choose who becomes my prince“. I prefer that to the arrogant version (throwing away the roses 🌹 like „Forget it, you are all not good enough for me“)

[@MariaChugai]

So much of precious details in her every performance

[@osvaldodigennaro9657]

According to Mariinsky theatre she's only a first soloist, but in my opinion she's one of the best ballet dancer in the whole planet. Her rose adagio is a pure lesson of classical ballet. She' s divine and she deserves a theatre that recognizes her talent. Thanks Olesya.

[@jileque]

Only a mad director to think that she is "ONLY" a first solist, she is the best at the Mariinsky Ballet

[@yichenzhang9931]

@@jileque I agree, she is definately the best bellerina in Mariinsky currently, can't find any other ones with perfect skills like her!

[@karenlommezmakeup4508]

Osvaldo Di Gennaro I agree with every word... she is spetacular

[@AlwaysOpera]

Osvaldo Di Gennaro She is remarkable. Even Svetlana doesn’t return to 5th between each balance with the four princes-at least in the version here on KZbin. And other than taking the 5th position she hardly moves at all. Beautiful.

[@anathemaii7911]

Voracious Reader exactly. Multiple pregnancies are not good for a ballerina’s carrier. This is why most ballerinas start having children later on in their carrier and usually don’t have many

[@elyam2560]

The is by far the best Rose Adagio I’ve seen. And I’ve seen quite a few. Olesya’s balance, her technique, musicality and delicate movements are exquisite. No zacharova, no lopatkina , not even tereshkina have her balance. She makes it look so effortless its amazing . Im glad she was promoted to prima recently. She is the best ballerina Marinsky can offer

[@stellamarishansen3317]

Para mí junto a Tereshkina son las dos mejores bailarinas del momento. Olesya etérea mágica en roles como Aurora y Tereshkina, y su grandiosa presencia escenica en Scherezade o Kitri. Nadie puede igualar la técnica, el control y la musicalidad de estas dos mega estrellas del Mariinsky. Me alegre muchisimo de la tan demorada promoción de Olesya. Fue una verdadera injusticia no haberla ascendido mucho antes.

[@zhanatbaidaralin2024]

Can you believe it? In between Pas de Deuxs she gave a birth for four kids?!!! Yes, she is a fantastic mother and an extraordinary ballerina! Bravo❤

[@makhnonatalie2600]

Какая хрустальная чистота и красота в исполнении! Просто квинтэссенция классического балета! И удивительно - четверо детей, и после каждого декрета Олеся становится все лучшею хотя кажется, что это невозможно. Какое счастье, что мы опять видим ее на сцене!

[@johnbautista9865]

Prima ballerina Olesya Novikova! What an incredibly deserved and long overdue promotion.

[@sliversilver]

she totally makes people forget how difficult the rose adagio is, and only remember her as Aurora herself.... such breathtaking elegance, technique and artistry!!! Brava to Novikova, and it's probably time to give her the long overdued principal title!!

[@СветланаКоломыйченко-ц1ж]

Браво, браво, браво! Новикова - украшение Мариинского театра. Блестящая техника, обаяние, всё выше всяких похвал! Да ещё и мама троих детей! Просто героиня для такой профессии!

[@mlal8314]

HER BALANCE! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE.

[@spacesofi4005]

waves it’s possible because she has years of practice

[@voraciousreader3341]

Watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6STdYtpgc6Nf68 Bolshoi Principal, Ekaterina Maximova was her coach....if you don’t know who that is, well, I guess you’d better start checking out the work of more dancers....this kind of balance happens all the time at this level.

[@mariaengracio4849]

Breathtaking! Russian Ballerinas not only had an astonishing technique but they express EMOTIONS...All kind of emotions! They are,in my opinion, ARTISTS!...Just look at their faces when they dance...

[@faymissk]

It looks like she creating the music with her body

[@lisa-maria7059]

[@beafbuger]

wow i love this comment

[@lucianas4919]

An essential component to ballet

[@justiniantbh]

everything she's doing requires such strength, balance and precision that you KNOW her body's in pain, yet she looks so graceful and effortless that she could be frolicking through a meadow... absolutely incredible

[@konstantinosdafos6603]

I saw her again and I thought she was even better than last time, it happens all the time.😍😍😍😍😍

[@nopeorama24]

This Rose Adagio is just stunning. How have I not heard of her? She should be an enormous international star. Every company should beg for her.

[@annastinehammersdottir1290]

Novikova gives me the goose bumps: love, love, love this beautiful dancer.

[@mikiohirata9627]

I do believe this is the best I've ever seen of rose adagio by any primas. She was utterly perfect in every move and characterization of Aurora. I wasn't even aware of her till I saw this video and it's unfortunate we in the west didn't get to see these magnificent performers untill many years later. I hope she's still dancing as a prima ballerina in Mariinsky.

Además de ser la más extraordinaria bailarina en este rol q he visto en mi vida, sin ninguna duda. hay q agregar q su físico e interpretación hacen totalmente creíble la actitud de una jovencita de 16 años en su primer baile ante la elección de algunos de los candidatos. Absolutamente brillante!!!

[@jenniferl.8111]

I think this is the best interpretation I've seen.

[@PalacinkyPDX]

Certainly one of the best Auroras in the last 30 years.

[@irinadavydovskaya1445]

Замечательная Олеся - настоящая сказочная принцесса...Танцует так, как будто ее детки сидят в зале и она хочет их порадовать. Это дорогого стоит. Запись старая, но она и сейчас прекрасна...

[@NaughtGinger]

She is so beautiful-fits the role so well here.

[@luvmuzik4me]

The only complaint that I have with this video, is that the camera is often focused too long on the upper body of the ballerina.

[@stellamarishansen3317]

Sin ningún género de dudas la interpretación de Olesya de Aurora es la mejor q ví en mi vida!!! Ductilidad, una técnica perfecta, etérea, en suma maravillosa! Dudo q nadie pueda superarla en este rol!!!!

[@vivianleenet]

All of that balancing is made more impressive by the fact that she's on a raked (tilted) stage. Amazing.

[@TengoUnaGata]

How is possible that she's a first soloist? Mariinsky, you already let go Stepanova and Obraztsova, don't be a fool and make her principal.

[@jileque]

I dont understand why.....if she is the best

[@BoglimWrangler666]

stepanova is nowhere near as good as novikova or obraztsova, shes quite terrible in comparison to be honest lol but yes agree

[@alainberlaty1394]

She is a defacto Prima

[@bessonovafan6454]

The control in the balances...I have never seen it before this

[@eg8427]

She is the Beest!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏❤️

[@cristinegiannetto3518]

This is the best Rose Adagio I have see. No wobbles in the infamous Attitude promenades and utterly and serenely in control the entire time! BRAVA Olesya! Oh, does anyone know how tall she is? She has a wonderfully long body line!

[@BoglimWrangler666]

hmm i'd guess 5'5-5'6.. she looks a little tall but not very

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

Cristine Giannetto She must be around 5 ft 6 or 5 ft 7 (168- 170 cm), my estimation. She‘s shorter than I thought. I stood next to her when I gave her flowers after a performance, and I‘m 5 ft 9 (175 cm). I agree she has such a wonderful body line! Everything about her is beautiful. Hair, face, skin, teeth... she looks like one of those dolls I had as a child. Oh, and that smile... she‘s just wonderful. And her three kids are equally adorable

[@yichenzhang9931]

I Love her aurora so so much😭😭I can't find a reason why she still stay as 1st sololist, she definately deserves to be the principal👏👏

[@gabbybabe101]

To my opinion Russian ballerinas art the best in the world. She does everything so easy when its a very diffucult variation. From a former ballerina :)

[@theettabell153]

I second that Russia is number one In ballet

[@Christina_320]

Her control and stage performance. Bravo! 🎭👏🏼

[@billploplis6947]

One of the few Russian ballerinas to take the attitude pose with both arms lifted into 5th en haut. I very much appreciated her facial expressiveness and her making eye contact with each cavalier. Of course, technically almost perfect--en dedans a la seconde pirouette needs more confidence--and I wish she didn't feel she had to do those anti-Petipa super-high developpes. We know she can do them--so do something more in keeping with the Petipa style. I think Pyotr Ilych would present her with a bouquet of roses for dancing so beautifully to his glorious music.

[@AllieHutchins]

Vaganova calls it third

[@billploplis6947]

Thanks. I always want to know the technical term!!!!!!@@AllieHutchins

[@wind7899]

[@gpopov777]

Absolutely amazing balance and graceful performance, her technique is incredible

[@NaiadMiss]

Lovely lovely lovely. In the finale,although she missed her balance a bit on the first one, the following ones were some of the best balances I have ever seen (and I did once youtube to look at every version of Rose Adagio). She suits this role so very much. Bravo.

Isn't ballet just wonderful....🌹

[@michelinearthebise2783]

SHE IS PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL AND A GREAT DANCER.

[@drdancerlisa]

This dancer has, to my eye, a beautiful head placement and upper back posture. Also, she has a wonderful lift and stretch through her torso. And also, some interesting detail in the use of her hands. I don't care for extreme extensions in classical dance. I say save it for contemporary. Your hips and rib-cage are displaced and, classical ballet is about line, and, in particular, pure line. That is what has separated it for one hundred years now from modern dance(to wit Isadorah Duncan who is the one who started rejecting the pure lines in most every way possible). The aim, in classical has always been to have as much extension as possible withOUT distorting the spine or having displacement in the triple square blocks of the shoulders, rib-cage, and hips/pelvis. If you were to sketch it and reduce the lines to their most simple essence, it's a completely different look between contemporary/modern and classical dance. Why does it matter? Because the essence of classical dance is what makes it classical dance. If we all choose as a culture to change that, okay. But I won't go to the ballet as much (I already don't) and to me it looks much more severe and just isn't as attractive. Well, to each his own. As long as the likes of Cynthia Gregory are on UTube and on video, I'll stay home watch that any day over going to theatre and plunking down the big bucks to see extreme sports with some, a little, emotional overlay. Of course this dancer is hugely talented and beautifully trained and very accomplished. So, bravo!

[@kathymyers7279]

dancerlisa Cynthia Gregory? She sucked!

[@kimO.7439]

I just loved your description about classical ballet. A long time ago I had a Russian ballet teacher and she was very strict but we knew she loved us. She expected the best out of us and we gave it. Ballet is so much more than just a physical act. It requires great which carries on in your life later on.

[@minissa2009]

@@kathymyers7279 Seriously? She was one of the greatest technicians of her time, and I still feel her Rose Adagio set a bar that few equaled and none exceeded. There were dancers I preferred like Martine van Hamel for artistic reasons (from that generation) but you could never fault Cynthia's technique and maturity of presentation.
