Roberto Bolle and Polina Semionova - Black Swan pas de deux (Vladimir Burmeister version)

Excerpt from Tchaikovsky Gala at La Scala, 2007

[@jacobfulcher1083]

I love Polina she has so many layers and details to her dancing and character it gives me life!

[@mikiohirata9627]

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVOOOOO I loved it !!! It was stupendously great from start to finish on both Polina and Roberto.

[@jacobfulcher1083]

Everything was superb and she nailed the fouettes and added some double in between for some more sparkle. If I didn't know any better part of her training comes from Ballet de Cuba amazing!

[@zeddnl6514]

moscow-schooled dancers are all great in fouettés and jumps.

[@D.A.A.321]

I got to see her in Berlin, she’s amazing. I love her Odile, I don’t think I’ve seen this danced in such a sinister and evil but at the same time gracious way.

[@natalino501]

BOLLE AND POLINA ..THE BEST

[@roccoscotellaro4273]

Both are great; simply different. There is not one of them the best. Ce sont simplement deux visages qui enrichissent la dance. Bravo l’un e l’autre.

[@martinmeng100]

Magnificent, artistic, expressive Polina, in class of her own!!!

[@perribaro]

It's really great Polina and Roberto, is the best blackswan pas de deux performance i'ver ever seen.

[@AngelaLettemichael]

Grandeeeee Bolle

[@evangelinapancoteelias3591]

Maravilhosos 🤗

[@jacobfulcher1083]

Robert is like oh gosh I better not mess this up

[@pingyu3934]

Polina is the best!

[@ИринаКругловаМарозова]

Какое представление шикарное Вот бы все посмотреть Спасибо за видео

[@alessia200571]

Una Semionova in stato di grazia 😍

[@joscarman]

There's an awful lot going on in that coda. But Bolle and Semionova are beautiful.

[@jenifermarianarojastapias2926]

che bello :-)

[@lburgess63]

Wow.

[@barbarasantosnascimento4589]

Bravissimi

[@enricamossone2093]

Bravi, ma Roberto che eleganza!

[@vittopo786]

I am bewildered and impressed. This part is incredible. Semenova is a great ballerina.

[@vittopo786]

@@cyrusjaxx9614 how can this information help us?

[@shirazsharivar8536]

After watching Obratsova, this Odile just isn't convincing to me. Yes, technically she's beautiful, maybe even better, but emotionally and let's say, acting-wise, she's just not it She acts devilish from the beginning, leaving no room for the prince to be fooled, the difference between Odile and Odette it's so obvious the prince has to be dumb not to notice. Evgenia Obratsova plays it so subtle, so innocent, that you feel sorry for the prince. I recommend you watch it.

[@valeriache900]

Полина прекрасна. Странная хореография, но Полина справляется даже с таким недоразумением)

[@bellar8381]

Bolle is not the most charming prince Siegfried. Polina's Odile is certainly evil but utterly vulgar rather than charming, graceful and subtly intimidating; the queen would've never agreed for such vulgar, uncharming suitor. She does not compare to the mystique of Zakhrova's 2004 La Scala performance.

[@8undre339]

It was a huge success in 2004 version, why not just repeat it, how simple is that? there are lot things (technically) SZ did so effortless, graceful and nature, we may have take it for granted, but if you ask someone else do it (as good as Polina), just not same. Balanchine style is not for everybody.

[@8undre339]

To Rehmat Kaur,I have no problem with your personal opinion, but "no emotion" comment is baseless. Here is a good reference in comparison, they were with the same partner and danced same version of Swan Lake.kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2fbmX6ueayKp9E

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

vulgar?? Why? I don‘t see this

[@8undre339]

@Rehmat Kaur , It did not really matter. in regarding SZ's performance in this role, I just want to say, if a performance (SZ's) has a few millions views that means something, hopefully, this one will reach to the #, only time can tell.

[@shirazsharivar8536]

I think Evgenia Obratsova plays this even better than SZ, watch it

[@НатальяАмирджанова-т4й]

Это не балет, высокое искусство, а тупая демонстрация растяжки, баланса и высоты прыжка! Плюс откровенное самолюбование. Ничерта они не понимают, что и зачем танцуют! А "пятаки" на балетных туфлях какие! У Екатерины Максимовой наполовину меньше, и ножка смотрится изящно, не то что эти лапти 43 размера! А хореография какая убогая! Интересно, чья редакция? Небось, этого бездарного лгбтшника?

[@ЛюдмилаДанилова-ж4ц]

Это хореография советского Владимира Бурмейстера, для московского театра им Станиславского и Н Данченко. Эта версия там идёт и поныне. И ,о ужас, она многим больше нравится , чем в Большом.

[@barbarasantosnascimento4589]

Bravissimi

[@brolliegirl9834]

The expressive way Polina uses her upper body is simply astonishing. I'm not even talking about her footwork or the fouettes... I'm enthralled...

[@AngelaLettemichael]

Thruuuu

[@natalinomiani2075]

Bolle smagliante nella sua bravura e bellezza

[@jacobfulcher1083]

Polina is queen!

[@rebeccanewman8391]

Isn’t this the music from Tchaikovsky pas de deux??

[@denisehill7769]

Yes, used by Balanchine, originally written as an extra piece by Tchaikovsky - the ballerina of the day had insisted on a pdd for the ballroom scene (there wasn't one in the first version) and used existing music by another composer. Tchaikovsky wrote his own piece but matched the tempi and bar length. It's such a beautiful piece. Incidentally the solo for Odile used music written for one of the six princesses.

[@goldensnowy4801]

THIS gives me a life! semionova nailed it (as usual!)

[@ЕлизаветаЛандыш]

Браво, Полина Семенова. Просто идеальное выступлеение

[@pedinurse1]

This different music originally belonged to Swan Lake, it wss lost or tossed, now its a stand alone piece for performances, Tchaikovskys Pas De Deux, my favorite stand alone piece

[@ГалинаПопова-к4щ]

Великолепно!!!! Техника, характер..... !!!! Лучшее исполнение!!!! Браво!!!! Браво!!!! Браво!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐💐💐

[@СССР2.0-о1щ]

Прекрасно !

[@tsochengkimo]

It took me a few seconds to get used to this piece of music being used instead of the usual black swan pas de deux music, but in the end I found it astonishing! The music, the choreography, and every movement of Semiona, and of course Bolle. Everything matches perfectly! I also like Balanchine's Tchaikovsky pas de deux, but I hope that music can be used in Swan Lake more as well.

[@sopranosd]

If this is not Swan Lake music, what is it?

[@winstonw1301]

Actually, this is the original Tchaikovsky music score for black swan pas de duex.

[@tsochengkimo]

@@winstonw1301 - Do you have a source for that?

[@user-fd1jw6sz1o]

So beautiful!!!

This music doesn't fit at all, too romantic for a sinister Odile and the steps look like they don't belong with it. Very strange

[@erumu7843]

ザハロワとボッレは、めっちゃ美しいけど個人的になんか違う感じがあったんですが… 踊りの感じを見ていると、このセミオノワさんとボッレが本来のパートナーっぽいですね。人間関係が作る空気感って結構出ます。 セミオノワさんの黒鳥、一番好きかも。ガッツリ誘惑してくるけど下品すぎず…こりゃ女性を知らない王子はコロッと騙されるはずです 笑

Polina is a bit too masculine for my taste.
