Ottimo questo ballettp in ensemble anche quando é sciolto perché attuato a specchio. Eccellenti le posture figurali alcune delle quali inedite.Ottima impressione di facilita esecutiva d'acchito per entrambi e di levità fatta tensione motile sorprendente nella ballerina. Ottimi quelli che con un mio neologismo mi piace chiamare convoli aerei ed elanisti della ballerina ottimamente indotti e tenuti dal partner con bilico di difficoltà massima ed eseguito con una non chalance esecutiva d'acchito sorprendente.Ottmo il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante dai protagonisti. Superlativi.Bighin Giulio Renzo. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Syvie Guillen has everything, beauty, talent, technique and histrionic personality. This adagio is to some extent different than the one we dance in America but it is beautiful and keeps the Petipa's signature. She is amazing, delicate but strong, solid and yet very light. She is one of the best, no doubt.

I remember when she burst onto the world stage in the 80's. Nureyev's Cinderella was my first exposure to this magnificent performer. Calling The Ballet Shop in New York repeatedly, hoping for anything new from her. There was SYLVIE GUILLEM, PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST on VHS that I must have played a zillion times ! In the studio with Forsythe rehearsing.The great article on Sylvie at that time from INTERVIEW magazine called PRIME MOVER. Some great black and white photographs of her there too...

[@Lithonion]

They match perfectly...as all those that were chosen in young age by Nureyew....his last discoveries and favorites...

[@gottadanceF318]

Amazing as always!!!!! They are both wonderful;))))

[@tuyetchi88]

I love her hands! So graceful and expressive they are!

[@pointemeout]

[@j3ssi77]

Sylvia is amazing, has an almost perfect technique, it is an amazing dancer, it's only cool to see her dance I love her really beautiful dance

[@eriksobbe]

that stage is a fierce rake!!! Two of my favorite dancers!!! YES!!! I love La Scala!!

[@pointemeout]

simply the best...oh sylvie how my love grows deeper everyday

[@chrisrowsc]

he saved her on the second a la seconde pirouette. she was really falling over and he stepped to her side to pull her up with one hand. that is an awesome partner. I love both Roberto and Sylvie.

[@ktaballet]

ella es fantastica, la amo! la mejor

[@fouette83]

MARAVILLOSO!!! la verdad que impresionante... no hay mas que decir

[@SwordBellydance]

Great couple... Sylvie amazing!

[@helenemich]

Amazing Sylvie Guillem !!!!

[@squinternet1]

absolutely amazing!

[@jude1199]

I like him for his artistry as well but one can't totally ignore the beauty of the man .. He is a total package .. And I did see the near blooper .. I thought they would both bloop .. It was a good save .. Sylvie is marvelous but I must admit I like them both most in more psychological dances such as Manon .. In these ballets there is a depth that is nicely complemented by their technical skill ..

[@thomsfitzgerald]

exactly, "a match made in heaven". une technique fait exhaler son âme. tous le deux.

[@keithwinn5592]

Superb Fantastic

[@BrunaPacheco]

PERFECT

[@danliang8]

sylvie guillem est vraiment étonnante, et quel physique... Che bello e buon ballerino è roberto bolle...

[@nicktomato7]

Everything I would say has already been said. However, I think there's one particularly interesting thing that happens here. Both of their développé en avants and the sauts de chat were at the same height. However, Sylvie's looked perfectly feminine and beautiful, while even though they did the same move, Roberto made them look very masculine. I really don't like watching feminine male leads at ALL. These two are the best out there.

[@aznpandab0i]

omigawd i would hate to have to partner her i wouldnt want to make a mistake! she is incredible!

[@hollyscrewdriver]

che gambe... se non è questa la perfezione...

[@Kata397533]

woah....double arabesque pirouette to penchee. most dancers can barely do one. and the la scala stage is actually one of the steepest in the world, i've seen it for myself

[@gvgenovese]

ROBERTO BOLLE IS NOT BORING.

[@fabiesque]

@bolshoiboy8 fair enough....we are free to like whomever we want...I am just curious...I have seen Roberto on stage few times...but he never moved my heart....

[@fabiesque]

@czechmate85 you know what I was there and have seen Sylvie soooo often on stage. Unfortunately she has a kind of face that does not read on amatorial vids. This has been always her curse also because there are so few commercial vids of her, especially in repertoire pieces (bad girl Sylvie..). But if you see her live you realize she DOES interpret and feels the roles.....

[@dancedarlingdance]

@Cherilynn100 It was performed at la Scala in Milan

[@Neosoul_prima]

@robber2328 where do you see her falling because i dont

[@LeSonge]

what year was this performed?

[@MeredithCabaniss]

To be honest, I don't like how Guillem interpreted Kitri here either. It's her wedding for pete's sake and yet there is no chemistry between here and Bolle. Now, Alina Cojocaru and John Kobborg in this pas are amazing, but they are together in real life so they make it believable. Kitri is able to marry the man she loves, she should be rejoicing.. and dancing like she's in love.

[@Cherilynn100]

The stages in Russia are raked, meaning they tilt forward so you can almost fly into the audience, and its much harder heading back up the stage, need a really strong lower back...I know this is not a Russian stage.. was it performed in Italy?

[@aznpandab0i]

agreed, male dancers should dance masculine... unless of course they are meant to be performing feminine ;)

[@maicolacostalemos]

cada ve que bolle pone su trasero en camara no puedo ver otra cosa!!!!

[@davidrankin687]

Maximova and Vasilliev are the best performers of these roles.

[@CMGGOttawa]

You would like to see the videos of Lorna Feijoo and Viengsay Valdes, both from the Cuban ballet school. Their performances in this particular role are as good as the one of Sylvie Guillen or, in my opinion, better. Ofelia Gonzalez was a good ballerina but cannot be compared to Sylvie Guillen or the Cuban ballerina assoluta Rosario Suarez. To say that her Kitry is the best of the all the Cuban Kitries is a gross exageration.

[@urranuss]

lol...like trockodero de monte carlo? :)

[@sander075]

Boring .. but in a beautiful way.. I miss the spirit of the character .. she has a perfect body and everything is in place, but i have the feeling she is doing steps instead of dancing the role of Kitri. In this role i like for instance Nadezhda Pavlova much better.

[@PnutButterGurl]

I don't get why she's kinda turned in! She's amazing, but there is some uncharacteristic stuff going on in this... her grand pirouettes to penche were wonky too... is it just me? :(

[@urranuss]

thats always a problem dancing with a celebrity,but he almost as famous,or at least very well know in the dance world i dont think he is fat at all,he is probably the best male dancer to have ever come out of italy,he is certainly a lot better then the dull and boring bonelli! im not too sure about the choreography of this pas de deaux but from as technical point of view its completely flawless,as is everything else "la guillem" does bolle looks masculine,i hate seeing femme male dancers

[@pointemeout]

OH MY GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I HAVE WITNESSED SYLVIE PERFORMING DON Q. thank you soooo much for posting this video..it definitely just made my day!! gosh i love her!
