- This breathtaking video focuses on Principal Artist Amber Scott as she prepares for her debut as Odette/Odile in Stephen Baynes' Swan Lake. Follow her through from first rehearsals to the stage and hear her thoughts on this milestone role.
Video production by The Apiary - Zábava
Amber Scott is so beautiful, her technique is exquisite, and her performances are flawless! She is the literal meaning of perfection.
her and Svetlana Zakharova lol
yep
aprillia jaye So is Jesus! But actually tho
Marianela Nuñez too
i always am in awe how they can be so skinny and so trained at the same time. :0
Every day intensive training since childhood. You need great passion, dancing must be your life.
There is nothing better. :-)
Gretel they train very hard nearly everyday. Yes they are thin, but you can see they are all very toned and they do have to eat a lot just like any athlete. It always bothers me when people automatically assume dancers are anorexic.
m dunwald i never assumed anything like that. an anorexic could never do ballet obviously, at least not on a long term and not in a professional setting as starving leads to loss of muscles. all i meant was, that i am in awe, how such a skinny looking body can contain so much muscular strength and motion control, for doing such skill full moves ballett requires.
Sky Black you can just lie to yourself thats absolutely fine. but by malnutrition sooner or later your muscles are going to be wasted and then you will not be able to any more.
+Angie Montreal I had a friend who said she was told by her ballet teacher that she wouldn't be good because her bum and thighs got larger the older she grew (natural growth, like her mum and sisters), and she was so sad she didn't do it anymore. She might have not had the same sillhouette as the others, but I wish the teacher could have said something more constructive.
Swan lake is my all time favorite ballet. Amber Scott performs Odette and Odile flawlessly.

Same Swan Lake is indescribable how hard and beautiful it is to dance
I'll never forget the first time I saw Swan Lake in person, it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
She traveled a lot in her fouettes. But she's a beautiful Odette.
+XactlyCeSe1 In that way, she follows in the tradition of perhaps the greatest Odette of the last generation, Natalia Makarova. Makarova is recorded quite a few times on video wandering all over the stage in the thirty-two fouettés. Never a natural turner, she even wrote in her autobiography about how she managed to whip herself off the stage and into the wings, like the wind had blown her away, she writes.
I did have the rare good fortune of actually seeing her in performance many years ago, when she was having yet another off-night with the fouettés. She did them anyway. And none of us in the audience could get through the strain of her stumbling through her wobbly, wondering fouettés without gripping our armrests in anxious suspense. Still, that Swan Lake performance was that rare magical, legendary moment in live theatre, a performance where Makarova blazed brilliantly, burning larger than life, from the moment she first leapt onto the stage as Odette. A truly memorable performance, one I’ll carry in my memory for as long as I live.
She does travel quite a bit but she's a beautiful Odette and dancer, I love her a lot.
It was rehearsal, if you note, she just steps out of the step and walks out. I'd like to see people criticize your rehearsal footage. Number 2, it's theatre. This ballet is more than just that sequence of fouettes. If you want to see tricks, go to the circus.
Yeah she kind of hopped into pointe instead of rolling up
imho the best 'short' video that AB has released yet. The dancer given the chance to talk in depth about their role. Apart from that I have nothing but admiration for dancers.
became Odette.Guys,it is veryy diffucult,especially the fouettes.Anyways,it wss my child dream and I had the experiance to do it :)
Very cool!
Not just dancing...also with feelings,
Want to go to theater to see her Odette/Odile!!
That is SO beautiful.
It must be amazing to dance with an orchestra playing!
in my school we organised a show. students can write their own 15-20 mins ballet, the teacher in charge will choose a ballet and then we will have our performance in march 2017. one more year but we do need to train. btw not ballet school, its just your plain ol school to study. at first i thought this was weird but its actually pretty unique i guess
zalmallama yee How did yout performances go?
how did it go?? it's been 4 years...!
Love the ending scene to the song at 1:56
Beautiful! These dancers are my inspiration!
I went and saw it yesterday in Melbourne.....it was beautiful
just saw this, it was the oat beautiful ballet ever
The ballerinas are the evidence that the woman is one of the most gorgeous live beings in our world! I can't find other woman as beatiful as a woman who seems awesome as odette, the princess become in swan in the Swan lake.
the music at 4:40 always gives me goosebumps! and amber is such a beautiful dancers, so glad she is in the ballet company that i watch the most!

GORGEOUS AS EVER!
Just beautiful
Wow!!! You're so cool! I love your turns, your lines are magnificent!
I'm seeing it in December. Can't wait!
My dream is to someday be in Swan Lake. Not as Odette, because I can't imagine that ever happening, but just as one of the swans. My ballet studio performed Swan Lake last year, and it was breathtaking to watch. I love the music, I love the choreography, I love all of it. It's such a beautiful ballet. I wish I could see it again, and this production looks fantastic, but sadly Australia is too far to travel just for a ballet. :(
What a great piece. Really set te scene and makes you want to go and see the performane so much. Congratulations
Ela é simplesmente Fantástica.. É como uma nuvem!
OMG !she is amazing!!
omg the last clip brought me to tears
shes the most beautiful swan ive ever seen!
This looks absolutely beautiful! If I only lived in australia!
Great video...More like this please!
Absolutely a.m.a.z.i.n.g!!!
Just saw it a few hours ago it is AMAZING
Não há nada mais gratificante que dançar o Lago dos cisnes!
Stunning.
wonderful - and so interesting - congrats all
4:40 = instant goosebumps, just beautiful ♥
She looks gorgeous!
Yay! She's a left turner!
Gorgeous!!
Ivanov choreographed Act II. Cruelly Petipa kept Ivanov down for virtually all his career except for this Act which is the most famous Act of all. Fortunately for posterity Petipa was ill and had to hand over control to his second in command otherwise the world would have been deprived of this masterpiece. Looks wonderful production. Wish I could see it.
Perfect i love it
Amazing!
yes.
EPIC!!!!
muito lindo elas e eles dançando
sao barlarinas de verdade
I love ballet to much.
swan lake is my fave ballet of all time - wish i was a ballerina :)
Morag Harley quie
Beautiful
This is my absolute dream :)
is it sad that when i first glanced at the video title i read "becoming omlette"? yikes.
YOU’RE HUNGRY
I thought I was gonna pass out by the amazingness of 3:20-3:40
I read Portuguese, can't write it, but I can't agree more :)
Ooooooo is beatifullllll
I didn't know it was acceptable to travel that much during fouettes.
it's hard to not travel because the fouettes are so fast, unlike fouettes you do in class because it's slower. I've only seen a select few that didn't travel as much in fouettes during the coda...
Each swan, a Stradivarius.
Amber Scott taught me :)
Being Odette would be amazing, but I'm 17, and still a relative beginner at ballet. So I really can't imagine ever being Odette, because I doubt I'd ever be good enough.
I agree. Though, my dream is to be odette, because i know that i can- actually anyone can.
music at 2:32 gives me chills 🥰
Me too. Its one of those things that stay in your body.
Esta hermosa:')
where can i buy a tutu skirt?? i really need one
Boa sexta feira, Boa Tarde!
it's part of the pas de deux (prince and white swan)
Cooooooooooool
Serenade. Ballet
it is just really beutaiful my dream is to become a ballet dancer
3:20 i WISH i could fouette like that!
i got goosebumps at 4:30
waaah!!
I know what you mean. In my next life I will dance in the corps for La Bayadere's Kingdom of Shades!
The best moment: 04:40!! *-*
i did a duet, black and white swan to that music i forgot the name. I was the Odile and my friend was odette
+Reilly Trammell There's many songs used in this video so I'm a bit confused on which one you mean.
So, what happens at the end? Tragic ending, which I prefer, or happy ending, which I loathe?
She dies... :'(
Which is sad but romantic! This and Giselle are my favorite Ballets. I like the sad stuff as well.
Both Odette and the prince kill themselves to break to curse on all of the swans, and so they can be together. Once Rothbart dies, we are given a view of Odette and The prince in the after life
They came with Romeo and Juliet a couple of weeks ago :)
Crying because I didn't have the body for becoming a ballerina... And yes I know it's about training also, but if you don't have the body you can't train to get to the top...
mt legal :)
Wow! I love ballet, but I have always wonder these things, Plus I think that in "Black Swan" I saw I think Mila Kunis with a tatto!
Now I know that it doesn't look good!!! thankks!!! XD
She travels a lot but shes good !
omg
Australian Ballet! WHY U NO COME TO PERTH!?
3'28 song?
What's the song name at 0:35 ?
I was Clara in nutracker
I really wanted to reach pointe. It is so beautiful! Them girls must be really strong.
how many kg she have?
1:34 whats the name of the song?? i have been looking for it but have never found it :(
Danses Des Cygnes, Moderato Assai--a.k.a. Odette's variation from Act II. ABT's production: v=26lTk7hcu70.
thanks!!!
After watchtching Svetlana Zakharva performance this Im sad to im not impressed although, this woman gave a incredible performance also. I cant do none of that lol.
Hadiyah Williams I agree Svetlana is way better
She's breathtaking but I do worry about how skinny she is, there's literally nothing to her! Anyways, she's so so beautiful, great dancer!
Beautiful!!!
Can the ballerinas have tattos?
I can't tell if you're trying to get a rise out of someone or actually stupid. That is Amber Scott, who plays Odette and Odile, as she actually said herself in the video. And she isn't narrating the video she is being interviewed, so excuse her for not having a professionally trained TV voice and an Australian accent.
Does anyone think that the principal dancer looks sort of like Sasha from Bunheads??
thats why there is makeup in the world ;)
Welll... maybe so. But I'm perfectly content just being in the corps. :)
canción del minuto 01:34?????
