Una Kitri ed un Basilio come raramente è dato vedere 🏆🎉 non soltanto al Mariinsky di San Pietroburgo ma anche nella gran parte dei maggiori teatri al mondo. Magnifica Tereskina 🩷 dotata di una tecnica che la fa esprimere al massimo livello della danza, ma capace anche di mettere in luce qualità e li elli di interpretazione rarissimi, di assoluta eccellenza. Eccezionale Shklyarov 💙 danzatore conosciuto, ammirato ed accolto con tutti gli onori nei più qualificati palcoscenici del mondo, compresi il Covent Garden di Londra, il Metropolitan di New York, ed il Bayerische Staatsoper di Monaco di Baviera, ecc. (memorabile poi una sua partecipazione, quale ospite d’onore, alla manifestazione Les Etoiles del 2017 e del 2018 al Parco della Musica di Roma). Insomma, una messa in scena del Don Chisciotte di altissima qualità, in cui lo spettatore si trova ad essere coinvolto con un crescendo di entusiasmo e di divertimento che poche altre volte è dato registrare 💙❤️👏👏👏👏

Thé Mariinsky and the Bolshoi are two of the best ballet companies in the world, far, far better than any American ballet company today! Viktoria Tereshkina and Vladimir Shklyarov are two of the brightest stars of the Mariinsky and are among the best dancers in the world!

Así se baila la entrada de Kitri 💕💙🌹🌹

Ottimo questo composito balletto che contempla anche quello che con un mio neologismo mi piace chiamare convolo aereo ed elanista della ballerina ottimamente indotto e tenuto dal partner. Ottima impressione anche sul corollario danzante comunicante l'esprit de joie del balletto Ottimo l'impadronimento dello spazio proscenico. Oltremodo bravi Tutti gli agenti in proscenio.Bighin GIULIO RENZO

Here a '960 version of "hitting the floor" with Maya Plisetskaja. Not a Baryšnikov "invention"

[@emperorcaracalla233]

Viktoria TereshKina, исправьте

[@stellamarishansen3317]

He visto comentarios comparando diferentes bailarinas en este rol y creo q hay q respetar las opiniones de cada una. Yo creo q Vika es en este momento la mejor bailarina del mundo y compararla por un pequeño detalle seguramente indicado x su coreógrafo con otra bailarina no me parece correcto y me gustaria recordar tambien la influencia decisiva Mijaíl Barishnikov (Kirov)en el ABT en esos días en esa versión de Don Quijote. Los elencos de las compañias de ballet de USA estan poblados de sobresalientes bailarines de todo el mundo, incluso rusos. Pero ademas las dos compañías principales rusas tanto Mariinsky como Bolshói han dado los mejores bailarines q se conocen. La lista seria inacabable y continuan haciendolo hoy en dia y han influido de manera decisiva en la manera con q los diferentes ballet se representan hoy en dia. Pero x supuesto esta es mi opinión y puede haber inmumerables opiniones diferentes.

Not Tereshina but Tereshkina

[@Bnesque]

strangely some americans are obsessed with bad mouthing Russian ballerinas. Of course this Tereshkina dances like post-pregnancy Tereshkina but she's still powerful and her entire body resonates with the music as it should be. On the other hand, the abt ballerina mentioned in here has the body of stiff door. if they don't like Russians, why they don't stay in their fabulous abt instead of coming here?

[@avesraggiana]

Bnesque Those who are not fond of non-Russian ballerinas are equally free to post their negative opinions of those dancers. And they've done so, saying things far more savage than anything I've ever written. Russian dancers are NOT the best in the world. They are NOT the be all and end of all of classical ballet. It is the presumption that they are, that I find so irritating and increasingly tiresome.

[@user-te3nx9dc8g]

​@@avesraggianaрусские танцоры лучшие в мире! Это аксиома!

[@viki56k88]

Замечательная. Получше Осиповой

[@avesraggiana]

That manege, hitting the floor with the fan-thing is lame. The Russian Kitris should watch Cynthia Harvey in this opening variation in ABT's production of Don Q. No, I'm not kidding.

[@banjobearful]

???

[@mrlopez-pz7pu]

so, your only reference for the final ménage in the entrée is a 1984 commercially available film often bloody CYNTHIA HARVEY?! Spare us all.

[@mrlopez-pz7pu]

whoops. often = of

[@avesraggiana]

No. I won’t spare you all. Have you seen how Cynthia Harvey dances that final manege? Waltz turn, waltz turn, chainé, chainé, chainé, battement developée a la seconde. Repeat. Repeat once more. Her sparkling, witty account of that manege is just one of many references I’m using. I have countless more references of that dumbed down, totally lame, hitting-the-floor-fan-thing that these Russians stump through, just like in this video. Such a reductive combination for dancers who fancy themselves as being best in the world. No, let them spare US. For all the many objections I had to Mikhail Baryshnikov’s watered down version of his Don Q for ABT, that manege in Kitri’s first variation is a bravura standout. Cynthia Harvey, Gelsey Kirkland, Yoko Ichino, Susan Jaffe and Paloma Herrera and I believe, even the greatest non-turner of a ballerina of them all, Natalia Makarova, who I didn’t see, ended this variation in just this effervescent way; as did Cynthia Gregory and Martine Van Hamel.

You have obviously learnt ballet and are knowledgeable re steps etc., - i feel compelled to reply to your recent comment on behalf of the majority of people who love & enjoy ballet, but have (possibly unfortunately) never had lessons - I go to the ballet, and watch on You Tube, not to compare dancers, but to enjoy the different interpretations the dancers give to the roles they dance. I like this one by Viktoria, as I enjoyed the one by Cynthia Harvey (I have the video of her & Baryshnikov, but I have seen her dance Swan Lake live) - as I have also enjoyed various other ballerinas in this scene (I might add that Gelsey Kirkland also hits the floor with her fan in her rendition in 1978) - there are wonderful ballerinas from USA, Russia, Britain, Australia, Romania, Ukraine etc., etc., - why try to compare them???
