Giselle Teatro Alla Scala 2005 Roberto Bolle - Albrecht Svetlana Zakharova - Giselle Marta Romagna - Myrtha Vittorio D'Amato - Hilarion David Coleman - Conductor
This was the first time I ever saw Myrtha’s entrance in act 2. I was stunned watching her enter because at first I thought she was floating or being pulled on a rolling cart. Then I realized she was taking tiny tiny fast steps on pointe. The implied speed and strength it took for her to move that fast stunned me again. Incredible.
Svetlana I love YOU. You ARE amazing balerina.I can stop vaching You dances Sorry for MY bad english I living in smol town in Croatia. YOU make MY world hapines Thank You. 🥰
Thank you BlueRusberry for this great joy. I love "Giselle" more then any other ballet. This with Roberto Bolle and Svetlana Zakharova was like a dream. A wonderful, breathtaking dream. They were PERFECT!
mariana alexandru I have seen them dance it in reality, it is every inch the same - they are completely natural in their elegance on and off stage, both gracious, approachable, and Svetlana showed a totally unexpected side to her when she cuddled a young three or four year old - gone was the cold somewhat distant dancer,, replaced by a smiling, warm and caring woman, really it was a joy to see, she wont be able to fool me again that she is the distant withdrawn woman she portrays :)
+BlueRaspberry I'm delighted to read your thoughts and impressions about this charming ballerina. Svetlana really looks like a diva, a star, a distant creature who can't be touched by our common, human reality. But in fact, she is a woman, a mother and a wife. I rarely see her smiling or showing any kind of affection out of the stage. You are so lucky!
Красивая пара, прекрасные природные данные...но...Роберто - лучше смотрится в современной хореографии , не хватает длинных пропорций для классических балетов , а Светлана - не обладает драматической выразительностью...
My tears bursted out when I was watching the last scene. I've watched this ballet for a few times already but never thought that it was so much sorrow drama. Now I realised the deep love Giselle and Albrecht had to each other. Also, now I know why my ballet teachers said "you need to be an actress." Thank you Svetlana and Roberto!!!!
For me as well. Men don't cry as often as women, but I was so drawn into the drama that the tears indeed flowed at the very end. Zakarova and Bolle's portrayals were so convincing, her death totally came to life for me as ironic as my wording might be. The only drawback for me in the whole production was the boring repetition of the ballet company's costumes. Better to subtely vary the costumes than tediously repeat them without end. Admitedly Ms. Zakarova's costume was breathtaking and silky soft, not unlike her vulnerable character.
Oui, vous avez raison. Ils sont magnifiques mais Zakharova est une madame, pas mademoiselle. Elle as une petite fille qui s'appelle Anna. Et son mari est un violoniste célèbre.
Sachez qu'en bon français on dit Mademoiselle en lieu et place de Madame par galanterie pour ne pas faire référence à l' âge d'une femme ! De plus c'est très insultant pour des français d'appeler Mademoiselle Sakharova par son seul nom comme vous le faites.
I come back to this every once in a while and my mind is absolutely blown every time. I used to dance and got on pointe during that time, and I remember my teacher always saying to always applaud and have respect for dancers that can pull off this move that Svetlana did at 38:39 because it's one of the most difficult moves to do on pointe. I've read that Giselle's choreography is also one of the most challenging pieces to do. This is absolutely some of Svetlana's best work.
Giselle has been my favorite ballet ever since I saw it at age 9. 50 years on, and having seen many versions on stage and on screen, This....is by far my FAVORITE! Just so blissfully and ethearally beautiful. Brings tears to my eyes. I watched it with my 88 year old mother ( who first introduced me to the story of Giselle) just the other week and she was enthalled...and thought Roberto was " a good sort " I could never get tired of this. Svetlana is the epitome of Ballerina. She just floats through the air, she's superb! 🌷
You must have been there when I was then :)) I went on 4th, Had a few words with Roberto, his sister, mother and father - got a huge kiss on the cheek which made it extra special, but also got Svetlana's autograph which is uber cool :))
BlueRaspberry yeah on the 4th!! wooaah you spoke to him and his family!! do you know him personally? i managed to get their autographs too which was super awesome and yeah really special, never been to a show like that before :)
louisalim This week she has been in my city too, at the San Carlo Theater. I have attended at Giselle. I think Svetlana is the greatest contemporary dancer. A perfect technique but she has also a natural grace and elegancy. The day before the piece she met 200 fan in the foyer of the theater and I was so lucky to be there. I made pictures with her and I could speak with her. She is a beautiful person, so modest. I still can't believe I have met her...
Francesca Scamardella Hi Francesca -- I am aware of Svetlana's visit to San Carlo - and the interviews in the foyer - I have three or four friends who were also there - :)) and have some fabulous pictures which I am sure you do too. She looked more relaxed than I have ever seen her - a softer Svetlana somehow :) I am glad you got to meet her. She and I spoke a little at La Scala a week or two ago.
Thank you for your answer BlueRaspberry. The meeting has been fabolous. I expected to know a star while Svetlana was absolutely modest and open. I ask her a picture and she answered me: "yes, please". So I was wondering: "What???? Has she said "please" to me?"! And her speech about her experience with dance, suggestions she has given to all the small dancer in the foyer have been an extraordinary experience. I will be back to San Carlo in August. She will be there for the Festival Opera interpreting Giselle, once again.
I LOVE GISELLE.......................... after so many times seeing it live in North America, Europe and the UK....... it yet remains my favourite, my most beloved ballet of all time. AND THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE. Can't quite get over the fact that this amazing BOLLE/ZAKHAROVA production from LA SCALA is from 15 years ago. Stirring in every way, it brings a tear to my eye especially as the heartache of the story touches us more than ever in the COVID age of 2020.
La rappresentazione più e più eccelsa di Giselle. Due, tra i più grandi ed espressivi e tecnicamente perfetti, INTERPRETI. GRANDIOSO PLAUSO‼️ECCELLENTISSIMI‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Очень хорошо!!! Класс!!! Кардебалет на высоте!! Получила максимум удовольствия!! Захарова ошеломила. Молодец. Партнёр- супер. Лучшая постановка Жизели в моей жизни.
Скольраз смотрела и все равно слезы на глазах :какая музыка, как хороша Захарова, драматургия, оркестр, кордебалет, хочется ещё и ещё раз смотреть, не отрываясь! Браво!!!
Балетная постановка на самом высоком уровне... Оркестр, солисты, кардебалет, декорации, божественная музыка Адана... Особенно красив и изыскан Роберт, он лучший танцор этого поколения в 🌿 Европе. Под стать ему Светлана, трогает до слез❤😢❤
❤Nagyszerű elöadás. Gratulálok a Tisztelt balettmüvészeknek,karmesternek, zenekarnak. Tisztelettel és köszönettel, György Tibrea. Fantasztikus elöadómüvészek.
A year and three lockdowns later, still coming here to escape! Let's hope it's not the same context another year down the line and we can eventually come here to enjoy the ballet more and to escape less.
Браво, Светлана Какой высокий стиль, тонкий, прелестный Как все красиво И, конечно, мы узнаем в этой волшебной версии Фраччи и Нуреева 80 года Этот удивительный балет Роберто прекрасный партнёр, шикарный танцовщик Высший класс
The filming is superb - it captures the dancing beautifully while never attempting to obscure that this is a theatrical production performed on a stage. I have seen many films of Giselle that introduce spurious shots of woodland ponds and magically disappearing ballerinas; for me, such interjections only break the magical spell of a well-staged Giselle. Bravo to the film crew! The corps work in Act II was mesmerizing - I have seldom seen the Willis danced with such flawless precision. Yet far from being merely a technical feat, the corps captured the chilling cold of these vengeful spirits while overlaying them with a nuanced eroticism that created a heightened sense of dread. Romagna's superb performance as Myrta is perhaps the best psychological portrayal of this role I have seen. And what can be said of Bolle and Zakharova? Impeccable technique, to be sure, but their partnering seems to be driven by such a unified artistic vision and musical impulse that they become an expression of a singular pathos. And Zakharova's phrasing - miraculous. I wondered how she would capture the essence of this Romantic Era ballet - beautifully, but with a contemporary sensibility and not a drop of sappy sentimentalism. Zakharova did more than justice to the stage at La Scalla, home of another legendary Gisselle of a generation ago, Carla Fracci.
I love the partnership, and everytime I watch this, it brings me to tears, they are simply superb. Svetlana is a Russian through and through and uses every inch of her body, (watch those arms!). Both of them long limbed and heartbreakingly elegant, between them its magic. I am hard pressed to ever fault Roberto - although I realise that nothing is perfect he seldom puts a foot, arm, hair, eyelash wrong lol. I am glad you noticed the Corps -- my personal opinion is that they were then and they are now one of the most precise corps in the world, I love to watch them. -
Kevin I couldn't agree with you more. So true about the logical and eloquent staging, and the chilling yet erotic quality of the Willis in Act II! Also, I can't get enough of Zakharova's phrasing?!
Everything in this representation is beautiful, Svetlana is Giselle ! I have just a very small critique to make : the romantic tutus of the Corps de Ballet are a little too long, on certain dancers it almost touch the floor, 5 centimeters less would have been perfect.
I think this company really nailed the drama of Act II. Their emotional quality was spot on. Marta Romagna as Queen of the Wilis, WOW, such poise and commitment to the role of the ruler of the women apparitions! The way she summoned the ghosts of fallen women was spectacular, such gravity in her task. The energy between her and the corps, especially during Albrecht's final judgment of being danced to death, was incredible-- the corps responds with sharp precision and Marta truly displayed the power and authority of a queen in these scenes. The interpretation of the dancers and also of the dramaturgy was, I thought, absolutely brilliant!!! It makes so much sense-- of COURSE Albrecht must receive the same punishment as Hilarion. He is just as responsible for the death of Giselle as Hilarion, even the love of Giselle cannot absolve him of his wrongdoing. And so what saves him in the end, after their (spectacular) efforts to gain pardon fail? The effort of Giselle to keep him conscious until the sun rises. WOW. This dramatic moment is incredible and perfectly told in this interpretation of the story. Bravo everyone!
Mademoiselle Sakharova a inventé la danse classique elle est divine. Roberto Bolle est princier. Très très belle et exigeante interprétation. Bravo ❤❤❤
Ottima la regia ideativa del collettivo danzante con posture anche inedite ed estremamente accattivanti .Ottima l'enfatizzazione e l'attorialita' dimostrata dai protagonisti e sensazione di fluente levità fatta tensione motile ed elanista da parte della ballerina in dolce fibrillazione dei passi sulle punte in eundo veloce.Grande impressione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito da parte di tutti gli agenti in proscenio.Oltremodo bravi.Bighin GIULIO RENZO
По этому балету снят прекрасный фильм! С таким удовольствием его посмотрела, особенно после серии лекций Николая Цискаридзе о балете, о либретто, об исторической ситуации.
Watching this magical Giselle performance 179 years after it was first performed in Paris is such a surreal experience. I hope I can watch a live Giselle as beautiful as this in the future.
sis tine : no for to day , if you live Paris since 1965 only six Giselle ( better Zakha ) : Chauvire and Alicia Alonso ( 1972 ) N Makarova ( in Guest ) with Denard ( 75' ) Noella Pontois-Baryschnikov ( 1979 ) Thesmar-Atanassoff ( 1983 Paris Opera in Festival ) j don''t remember the year Bessmertnova-Denard so six Giselle since 1965 ; good luck
Zakharova and Bolle are so mesmerizing! The dead of Giselle, perfect, corps de ballet beautiful, and the variation of Giselle in act 1 are so stunning! The diagonal en pointes, are so beautiful, but difficult...
questa edizione è stupenda e per me più emozionante di quella con la Fracci dell'american ballet. Carla Fracci è semplicemente divina ma nell'insieme mi ha emozionato di più questa edizione. Bolle poi è splendido
Spettacolo veramente meraviglioso : la realizzazione di un capolavoro che è essa stessa un capolavoro . Abbiamo dunque , kantianamente, un capolavoro trascendentale. La bellissima musica di Adam è perfetta per due ballerini che tolgono il fiato per l'eleganza, lo stile, la leggerezza e la grande interpretazione. Anche la storia , che è la base del balletto, come la musica, è commovente, tanto che non si può osservare l'opera (usando i versi danteschi) "tanto gentile e tanto onesta" , senza commuoversi. Il sostantivo che più mi viene alla mente è: purezza, purezza di stile, di sentimenti, di leggerezza, di moralità sublime, fantasia e creatività. Sono veramente incantato e commosso , per un capolavoro che onora la Scala.
Bertha - was danced in this performance by Annalisa Masciocchi. She has performed on a couple of other DVDs from La Scala - if you google her and choose the link for naxos it will give you the details.
El ballet Giselle de por sí es uno de los más lindos del repertorio clásico. Su música maravillosa, el argumento y la combinación del primer acto tan intenso y colorido con el segundo acto tan etéreo y delicado es mágico. La bailarina es muy buena y de primera pues tiene magnífica técnica y riqueza de interpretación del personaje.Roberto Bolle no solo un magnífico y virtuoso bailarín que es brillante por su técnica y actitud sino además un gran "partenaire" y eso ya es otro tema. Algunos bailarines son magníficos y pedimos partenaires...y viceversa.
Beautiful and Emotional!!💞I love this production of Giselle and how flawless Svetlana and Roberto look together of course Vittorio and Marta looked amazing!!💝I just love the wilis looked like dancing zombies creepily dancing and the orchestra sounds magical Conductor David Coleman Bravo!!😊
Thank you so much BlueRaspberry for sharing this vedio. Watched so many times, everytime it melted my heart, brought tears to my eyes. Zaharova and Bolle are the best of best with God given telant, beauty, physique.
I didn't realize it till the mad scene but she must be the tallest Giselle I've ever seen but she really sells the vulnerability (kind of the opposite of Makarova, who danced so big you didn't realize what a tiny little Swan Queen she was). Wikipedia puts her height on par with Lopatkina's at 5'9". I love the filming and the reaction shot when she first sees the sword!
I'm actually here because I saw this ballet in an episode of Sailor Moon, and I have to say I was not disappointed. I loved everything about it. The story sort of reminded me of Hans Christian Anderson's story, The Little Mermaid.
Marta is an beautiful dancer, such fabulous lines and yes she is indeed elegant. You can see her as 'enlightenment' in the ballet Excelsior, and as 'Queen of the night' in the recent 'Il Giardino degli amanti' - both are on the channel.
Очень интересно видеть, как органично сочетаются в одном балетном спектакле русская и итальянская балетная и актёрская школы.... Сольный дуэт, один из лучших на планете, совершенно уникален, причём во всех спектаклях. Очень понравилась актёрская работа Витторио Д"Амато : настоящие чувства, яркий характер... Костюмы не только красивы, но и очень удобны, естественны, индивидуальны и очень идут танцовщикам... Оркестр заслуживает самых высоких похвал, он звучал прекрасно! Светлана создала на сцене и в зале атмосферу такой удивительной нежности, которая передаётся даже через экран... Осияла своим талантом всех нас... Она просто невесома, парит над сценой, едва лишь, изредка касаясь пола.. Света, браво! Бобби, браво! Витторио, браво! Хотелось бы побольше видеть спектаклей, в которых предаствалены обе балетные школы, чтобы с этими спектаклями театры гастролировали по миру. Хочется видеть их не только в записи, но и на сцене. Большое спасибо за предоставленную возможность ознакомиться с этим высоким искусством!
Natalia Segal Мне посчастливилось наблюдать Роберто и Светлана живет в Жизели на недавнем выступлении Ла Скала. К сожалению, Витторио сейчас на пенсии, но на его месте был великолепен Мик Zeni. Это был спектакль я буду держать близко к сердцу для остальной части моей жизни - Светлана и Роберто совмещаются как рука в перчатке. :))
BlueRaspberry Витторио скорее всего получает балетную стипендию. Для пенсии, слава Богу, он пока ещё слишком молод. Я не просто так обратила внимение на его игру. Он выдающийся актёр. И ведь в основном это была только пантомимная роль! Интересно посмотреть его в других спектаклях, где он танцует. Пока, к сожалению, я ничего не смогла найти с его участием, кроме этого спектакля... Надеюсь, свой уникальный дар , своё балетное и актёрское искусство он сумеет передать новым поколениям танцовщиков. Я искренне желаю ему удачи, особенно в педагогической деятельности, если он решит посвятить себя обучению. У него уникальный актёрский дар! Редкий реализм, по школе Станиславского, на балетной сцене вне России... На многих форумах , посвящённых балетному искусству, наши с Вами комментарии - чуть ли не единственные на русском языке... Казалось бы - самая искушённая в балете, самая заинтересованная балетом аудитория - русскоязычная... А комментарии - на %99 англоязычные... А Вы говорите по-русски? Я бы тоже хотела увидеть Свету и Бобби "живьём" на сцене... Я видела на сцене великого Александра Годунова, великую Майю Плисецкую, Мариса Эдуардовича Лиепу, Владимира Васильева, Александра Деревянко и многих, многих других великих российских королей и королев балетной сцены... Впечатление незабываемое и непередаваемое... Мне очень повезло, и я прекрасно понимаю Вас, когда Вы говорите, что видели гениальных танцовщиков вживую... Света ещё и по жизни женщина "с головой" , умна, балерина старой закалки, и хорошая, надёжная партнёрша. А Бобби - у него такая чудесная душа, он как дитя... Берегите его... Настоящие таланты всегда находят и творческое содружество, и крепкое партнёрство, и цеховую артистическую солидарность, а также с удовольствием делятся знаниями и творческим опытом. Бобби и Света тому яркий пример. Они даже смотрят в одном направлении как-то похоже, правда ведь? Ещё одно подтверждение тому, что все люди - братья и сестры. Нужно лишь научиться это уважать и ценить.
Natalia Segal Там нет языковые различия в балете - говорит он тот же язык для нас все неважно, где в мире мы находимся. Великие художники, такие как Роберто и Светлана в состоянии общаться эмоции без слов, и мы все в состоянии прочитать и то же сообщение - это красота искусства :)
BlueRaspberry Для меня способ осознания действительности и способ самовыражения - это слово, в первую очередь - моя родная речь... А ребята действительно понимают друг друга великолепно. Они созданы творить прекрасное , и у них это отлично получается на языке балета. Я специально оставила сообщение именно на русском языке... Чтобы не создавалось впечатление, that Russian speakers don't care. Yes, we do! We care, and a lot! For centuries we love ballet and we always will! Thanks many times for this great video! Without your support i probably wouldn't be able to see it - i am not a computer "guru" at all... Во всяком случае, я искренне рада, что мы с Вами можем изъясняться по-русски. Спасибо, что Вы собрали воедино видео Роберто. Это огромная работа, не каждый человек за неё возьмётся. Балетные архивы - это особая тема... Вы знаете, как непросто порой отыскать необходимый материал. Поэтому так важна его своевременная систематизация .
1:20:43 I love La Scalla's version of l'entree d'Hilarion corps de ballet really look deathly but graceful when circling Hilarion!!💞Svetlana and Roberto really embody the Albrecht and Giselle power couple as well as Marta and Vittorio!!💟
MARAVILHOSO !!! EU REALMENTE NUNCA TINHA VISTO #GISELLE# ME CONSIDERO PRIVILEGIADA POR TER A OPORTUNIDADE DE VER UMA APRESENTAÇÃO TÃO BRILHANTE NO QUE ME DEIXOU EMOCIONADA !!!! TUDO QUE POSSO FAZER É AGRADECER PARA VOCÊ QUE POSTOU!!! MUITO OBRIGADO !!!
This was the first time I ever saw Myrtha’s entrance in act 2. I was stunned watching her enter because at first I thought she was floating or being pulled on a rolling cart.

For me there has not been a better ballet couple than this two. Bravi!!! 🤩
Svetlana I love YOU. You ARE amazing balerina.I can stop vaching You dances Sorry for MY bad english I living in smol town in Croatia. YOU make MY world hapines Thank You. 🥰
I don't think there has ever been a more elegant and expressive dancer than Zakharova, she takes my breath away.
Not quite so but still....she is among the greatest of all time.
Thank you BlueRusberry for this great joy.
I love "Giselle" more then any other ballet. This with Roberto Bolle and Svetlana Zakharova was like a dream. A wonderful, breathtaking dream. They were PERFECT!

Absolute perfection. I just wish there was an HD version of this interpretation on CZcams... I can't find the DVD anywhere...
Svetlana Zakharova brings tears in my eyes- she becomes the role, looks like she is from another world. She is magical!
Me too, I could watch her forever ❤️
\\\\\\\\11
Svetlana Zakharova IS Giselle, and Roberto Bolle IS Albrecht!
Svetlana and Roberto are my otdp. (One true dance partner). Their chemistry in stage is breathtaking, and their dancing complements each other.
x100000!!!! I love them!
Красивая пара, прекрасные природные данные...но...Роберто - лучше смотрится в современной хореографии , не хватает длинных пропорций для классических балетов , а Светлана - не обладает драматической выразительностью...

Admitedly Ms. Zakarova's costume was breathtaking and silky soft, not unlike her vulnerable character.
I know exactly how you feel. That last scene is so deeply felt and poignant, frankly I weep, as well.
Mademoiselle Zakharova est aussi brillante dans sa technique que dans son interprétation et Roberto est fait pour être un prince
Oui, vous avez raison. Ils sont magnifiques mais Zakharova est une madame, pas mademoiselle. Elle as une petite fille qui s'appelle Anna. Et son mari est un violoniste célèbre.
Sachez qu'en bon français on dit Mademoiselle en lieu et place de Madame par galanterie pour ne pas faire référence à l' âge d'une femme ! De plus c'est très insultant pour des français d'appeler Mademoiselle Sakharova par son seul nom comme vous le faites.
The handsome Roberto the beautiful Svetlana what more could you ask for and my favorite ballet cry every time heart renching
I love that ending... They forgive it all, after they beath the death...
I watch it so many times!!!!
Handsome maybe, with reserve, but cuddly in Giselle
I can relate
The best Giselle I have EVER seen.. just magnificent.. Stunning Svetlana and Roberto.
Svetlana Zakharova AND Roberto Bolle...?
THE BEAUTY IS TOO MUCH ! SAVE MEHHH......!!
+.B e a n y Unfortunately there is no saving - it is to die for :))
**Sniffle**
I guess I will just have to live this way...
I come back to this every once in a while and my mind is absolutely blown every time.

Of the many Giselle's I have experienced over the years, this one is in a league of its own.
no idea how she does it. but she makes it look so smooth, easy and simple which is just outstanding!... considering.
Giselle has been my favorite ballet ever since I saw it at age 9. 50 years on, and having seen many versions on stage and on screen, This....is by far my FAVORITE!

Absolutely flawless. The dancing, the acting, everything. Giselle has to be one of the best ballets out there, and this performance is amazing.
Has to be one of the most beautiful Giselle productions of all time
Memorabile Giselle...anche il corpo di ballo è meraviglioso!!!!!
Светлана божественна в этом Образе! Легка, воздушна, словно нежное облачко! Гениальное исполнение! Браао!!!❤❤❤
La rappresentazione più e più eccelsa di Giselle. Due, tra i più grandi ed espressivi e tecnicamente perfetti, INTERPRETI. GRANDIOSO PLAUSO‼️ECCELLENTISSIMI‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
A graceful perfection performance👏🏻
I now understand why this is one of the widely known classic ballet performances.
I am living for Svetlana right now. I cannot take the beauty. She is my FAVORITE!!
Probably the greatest on stage couple ever!
Ann Chelbarakh my sister's heart broke when she saw this comment she loves Roberto bolle he's her number one crush

Reading your comment on 12 17 2020 . I as well.
A year and three lockdowns later, still coming here to escape! Let's hope it's not the same context another year down the line and we can eventually come here to enjoy the ballet more and to escape less.

she has the award of prima ballerina abssoluta
@@Lia_s. does she? Woow😳😳😳😳
Calíope Terpsícore yes!
@@Lia_s. As far as I know the only Russian dancers who officially hold that title are Galina Ulanova and Maya Plisetskaya.
Excellent Giselle ....al unisono ....the Symphony Orchestra ......very very. Good ❤❤
Браво, Светлана Какой высокий стиль, тонкий, прелестный Как все красиво И, конечно, мы узнаем в этой волшебной версии Фраччи и Нуреева 80 года Этот удивительный балет Роберто прекрасный партнёр, шикарный танцовщик Высший класс
Не перестаю восхищаться красотой и очарованием.
Бесподобно! Такое наслаждение от гармонии Музыки, Танца,Сюжета и красоты !!!
Браво красивый балет Светлана превосходна!
The filming is superb - it captures the dancing beautifully while never attempting to obscure that this is a theatrical production performed on a stage. I have seen many films of Giselle that introduce spurious shots of woodland ponds and magically disappearing ballerinas; for me, such interjections only break the magical spell of a well-staged Giselle. Bravo to the film crew!
The corps work in Act II was mesmerizing - I have seldom seen the Willis danced with such flawless precision. Yet far from being merely a technical feat, the corps captured the chilling cold of these vengeful spirits while overlaying them with a nuanced eroticism that created a heightened sense of dread. Romagna's superb performance as Myrta is perhaps the best psychological portrayal of this role I have seen.
And what can be said of Bolle and Zakharova? Impeccable technique, to be sure, but their partnering seems to be driven by such a unified artistic vision and musical impulse that they become an expression of a singular pathos. And Zakharova's phrasing - miraculous. I wondered how she would capture the essence of this Romantic Era ballet - beautifully, but with a contemporary sensibility and not a drop of sappy sentimentalism. Zakharova did more than justice to the stage at La Scalla, home of another legendary Gisselle of a generation ago, Carla Fracci.
I love the partnership, and everytime I watch this, it brings me to tears, they are simply superb. Svetlana is a Russian through and through and uses every inch of her body, (watch those arms!). Both of them long limbed and heartbreakingly elegant, between them its magic. I am hard pressed to ever fault Roberto - although I realise that nothing is perfect he seldom puts a foot, arm, hair, eyelash wrong lol. I am glad you noticed the Corps -- my personal opinion is that they were then and they are now one of the most precise corps in the world, I love to watch them. -
Kevin I couldn't agree with you more. So true about the logical and eloquent staging, and the chilling yet erotic quality of the Willis in Act II! Also, I can't get enough of Zakharova's phrasing?!
BlueRaspberry
I never read such truth. It totally is.
Everything in this representation is beautiful, Svetlana is Giselle ! I have just a very small critique to make : the romantic tutus of the Corps de Ballet are a little too long, on certain dancers it almost touch the floor, 5 centimeters less would have been perfect.
I think this company really nailed the drama of Act II. Their emotional quality was spot on. Marta Romagna as Queen of the Wilis, WOW, such poise and commitment to the role of the ruler of the women apparitions! The way she summoned the ghosts of fallen women was spectacular, such gravity in her task. The energy between her and the corps, especially during Albrecht's final judgment of being danced to death, was incredible-- the corps responds with sharp precision and Marta truly displayed the power and authority of a queen in these scenes. The interpretation of the dancers and also of the dramaturgy was, I thought, absolutely brilliant!!! It makes so much sense-- of COURSE Albrecht must receive the same punishment as Hilarion. He is just as responsible for the death of Giselle as Hilarion, even the love of Giselle cannot absolve him of his wrongdoing. And so what saves him in the end, after their (spectacular) efforts to gain pardon fail? The effort of Giselle to keep him conscious until the sun rises. WOW. This dramatic moment is incredible and perfectly told in this interpretation of the story. Bravo everyone!
I couldn't have said it better. ~ thank you!
Very eloquently stated!
Thank you both. I would love to know what y'all have to say about this ballet, too! :)

Mademoiselle Sakharova a inventé la danse classique elle est divine. Roberto Bolle est princier. Très très belle et exigeante interprétation. Bravo ❤❤❤
Дивная пара Бессмертная Две легенды балета Красивое исполнение Превосходное
Ottima la regia ideativa del collettivo danzante con posture anche inedite ed estremamente accattivanti .Ottima l'enfatizzazione e l'attorialita' dimostrata dai protagonisti e sensazione di fluente levità fatta tensione motile ed elanista da parte della ballerina in dolce fibrillazione dei passi sulle punte in eundo veloce.Grande impressione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito da parte di tutti gli agenti in proscenio.Oltremodo bravi.Bighin GIULIO RENZO
По этому балету снят прекрасный фильм! С таким удовольствием его посмотрела, особенно после серии лекций Николая Цискаридзе о балете, о либретто, об исторической ситуации.
Божественное исполнение! Восторг!
svetlana is perfect for this role
Svetlana is perfect for all roles they give her and she's amazing
Wonderful Svietlana, wonderful Roberto, bravo David Coleman - Conductor
Watching this magical Giselle performance 179 years after it was first performed in Paris is such a surreal experience. I hope I can watch a live Giselle as beautiful as this in the future.
sis tine : no for to day , if you live Paris since 1965 only six Giselle ( better Zakha ) : Chauvire and Alicia Alonso ( 1972 ) N Makarova ( in Guest ) with Denard ( 75' ) Noella Pontois-Baryschnikov ( 1979 ) Thesmar-Atanassoff ( 1983 Paris Opera in Festival ) j don''t remember the year Bessmertnova-Denard so six Giselle since 1965 ; good luck
Zakharova and Bolle are so mesmerizing!
The dead of Giselle, perfect, corps de ballet beautiful, and the variation of Giselle in act 1 are so stunning!
The diagonal en pointes, are so beautiful, but difficult...
Glad you enjoyed it. Marta Romagne was an exceptional Myrta too 😊
Nagyszerű, fantasztikus elöadás. Tisztelettel, György Tibrea. Csodálatos!!!.
A kedvenc balettmüvészeim.Csodálatos elöadómüvészet. Gyönyörű zene, elöadás. Tisztelettel és köszönettel, György Tibrea.
Это боги танцуют, смотрела открыв рот.Слов нет, это волшебство, чудо, завораживающе. БРАВО!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marvellous Giselle .....al unisono amb the Symphony Orchestra ......ni un pas mes , ni un pas menys , perfecte ❤❤
Чудо! Захарова, великолепна!
questa edizione è stupenda e per me più emozionante di quella con la Fracci dell'american ballet. Carla Fracci è semplicemente divina ma nell'insieme mi ha emozionato di più questa edizione. Bolle poi è splendido
Spettacolo veramente meraviglioso : la realizzazione di un capolavoro che è essa stessa un capolavoro . Abbiamo dunque , kantianamente, un capolavoro trascendentale. La bellissima musica di Adam è perfetta per due ballerini che tolgono il fiato per l'eleganza, lo stile, la leggerezza e la grande interpretazione. Anche la storia , che è la base del balletto, come la musica, è commovente, tanto che non si può osservare l'opera (usando i versi danteschi) "tanto gentile e tanto onesta" , senza commuoversi. Il sostantivo che più mi viene alla mente è: purezza, purezza di stile, di sentimenti, di leggerezza, di moralità sublime, fantasia e creatività. Sono veramente incantato e commosso , per un capolavoro che onora la Scala.
Don’t know if it was better to be a dancer or a musician- beyond beautiful!
Какая великолепная Запись во всех отношениях! Это такое наслаждение видеть, слышать. Спасибо всем! Слёзы наворачиваются от чувств.
Great video, wonderful Svetlana Zakharova!, many thanks for sharing it!
amazing--- breathtaking --- sublimely beautiful
Svetlana Zackarovah é a melhor bailarina que já vi em qualquer repertório TD fica melhor com ela tem vida tem paixão e alma. 😍😍😍
Giselle's mother is incredible, she almost made me cry
Bertha - was danced in this performance by Annalisa Masciocchi. She has performed on a couple of other DVDs from La Scala - if you google her and choose the link for naxos it will give you the details.
El ballet Giselle de por sí es uno de los más lindos del repertorio clásico. Su música maravillosa, el argumento y la combinación del primer acto tan intenso y colorido con el segundo acto tan etéreo y delicado es mágico.
La bailarina es muy buena y de primera pues tiene magnífica técnica y riqueza de interpretación del personaje.Roberto Bolle no solo un magnífico y virtuoso bailarín que es brillante por su técnica y actitud sino además un gran "partenaire" y eso ya es otro tema. Algunos bailarines son magníficos y pedimos partenaires...y viceversa.
What a wonderful performance!
Beautiful and Emotional!!💞I love this production of Giselle and how flawless Svetlana and Roberto look together of course Vittorio and Marta looked amazing!!💝I just love the wilis looked like dancing zombies creepily dancing and the orchestra sounds magical Conductor David Coleman Bravo!!😊
Браво блестяще станцевали солисты супер
the best ballet duo i’ve seen by far
Le plus magnifique ballet que j'aie vu!!
Je ne me lasse jamais de le voir!!
BRAVO :)
Прекрасный спектакль!
*Giselle* ,Teatro Alla Scala
Roberto Bolle and Svetlana Zakharova
Thank you . Bravo
Happy birthday, today, June 10th, beautiful Svetlana!
Csodálatos elöadás.Gratulálok!
Thank you so much BlueRaspberry for sharing this vedio. Watched so many times, everytime it melted my heart, brought tears to my eyes. Zaharova and Bolle are the best of best with God given telant, beauty, physique.
You are very welcome.
I didn't realize it till the mad scene but she must be the tallest Giselle I've ever seen but she really sells the vulnerability (kind of the opposite of Makarova, who danced so big you didn't realize what a tiny little Swan Queen she was). Wikipedia puts her height on par with Lopatkina's at 5'9". I love the filming and the reaction shot when she first sees the sword!
I'm actually here because I saw this ballet in an episode of Sailor Moon, and I have to say I was not disappointed. I loved everything about it. The story sort of reminded me of Hans Christian Anderson's story, The Little Mermaid.
A beautifully produced ballet of the old school. Precise footwork but with true feeling.
Svetlana Zakharova and Roberto Bolle dance so good together. I always love to watch them. Bravo !
Bravo! Thank you for sharing. Giselle is my favorite ballet. It just can‘t get any better with Svetlena Zakharova and Roberto Bolle.
that was the best show i have ever saw!!!!
seen*
Совершенство❤, музыка танец, исполнители. Роберто Бог танца и совершенство красоты. Светлана ему подстать. Смотреть и слушать блаженства🎉🎉🎉
Выдающийся спектакль Замечательный Светлана удивительно хороша Роберто яркий,дивный Отличный дуэт
Gratulálok a Tisztelt balettmüvészeknek, zenekarnak, karmesternek. BRAVÓ. Üdvözlettel és köszönettel, György Tibrea.
This production's Mirtha is probably my all time favourite Mirtha, what a lovely and elegant ballerina ♥♥
Marta is an beautiful dancer, such fabulous lines and yes she is indeed elegant. You can see her as 'enlightenment' in the ballet Excelsior, and as 'Queen of the night' in the recent 'Il Giardino degli amanti' - both are on the channel.
Шикарно
Выдающиеся артисты балета Мастера Их имена вписаны в золотую книгу лучших звёзд балета
СПАСИБО ОГРОМНОЕ!
These two very famous dancers at their best, or certainly at their most beautiful !
I love Roberto, he's amazing?
beingaballerina I saw him dancing - last night, :) In Rome, I have to say 'I agree with you' - he and it were amazing :)
Svetlana and Roberto are my otdp. One true dance partner. Wonderful.
Очень интересно видеть, как органично сочетаются в одном балетном спектакле русская и итальянская балетная и актёрская школы.... Сольный дуэт, один из лучших на планете, совершенно уникален, причём во всех спектаклях. Очень понравилась актёрская работа Витторио Д"Амато : настоящие чувства, яркий характер... Костюмы не только красивы, но и очень удобны, естественны, индивидуальны и очень идут танцовщикам... Оркестр заслуживает самых высоких похвал, он звучал прекрасно! Светлана создала на сцене и в зале атмосферу такой удивительной нежности, которая передаётся даже через экран... Осияла своим талантом всех нас... Она просто невесома, парит над сценой, едва лишь, изредка касаясь пола.. Света, браво! Бобби, браво! Витторио, браво! Хотелось бы побольше видеть спектаклей, в которых предаствалены обе балетные школы, чтобы с этими спектаклями театры гастролировали по миру. Хочется видеть их не только в записи, но и на сцене. Большое спасибо за предоставленную возможность ознакомиться с этим высоким искусством!
Natalia Segal Мне посчастливилось наблюдать Роберто и Светлана живет в Жизели на недавнем выступлении Ла Скала. К сожалению, Витторио сейчас на пенсии, но на его месте был великолепен Мик Zeni. Это был спектакль я буду держать близко к сердцу для остальной части моей жизни - Светлана и Роберто совмещаются как рука в перчатке. :))
BlueRaspberry Витторио скорее всего получает балетную стипендию. Для пенсии, слава Богу, он пока ещё слишком молод. Я не просто так обратила внимение на его игру. Он выдающийся актёр. И ведь в основном это была только пантомимная роль! Интересно посмотреть его в других спектаклях, где он танцует. Пока, к сожалению, я ничего не смогла найти с его участием, кроме этого спектакля... Надеюсь, свой уникальный дар , своё балетное и актёрское искусство он сумеет передать новым поколениям танцовщиков. Я искренне желаю ему удачи, особенно в педагогической деятельности, если он решит посвятить себя обучению. У него уникальный актёрский дар! Редкий реализм, по школе Станиславского, на балетной сцене вне России... На многих форумах , посвящённых балетному искусству, наши с Вами комментарии - чуть ли не единственные на русском языке... Казалось бы - самая искушённая в балете, самая заинтересованная балетом аудитория - русскоязычная... А комментарии - на %99 англоязычные... А Вы говорите по-русски? Я бы тоже хотела увидеть Свету и Бобби "живьём" на сцене... Я видела на сцене великого Александра Годунова, великую Майю Плисецкую, Мариса Эдуардовича Лиепу, Владимира Васильева, Александра Деревянко и многих, многих других великих российских королей и королев балетной сцены... Впечатление незабываемое и непередаваемое... Мне очень повезло, и я прекрасно понимаю Вас, когда Вы говорите, что видели гениальных танцовщиков вживую... Света ещё и по жизни женщина "с головой" , умна, балерина старой закалки, и хорошая, надёжная партнёрша. А Бобби - у него такая чудесная душа, он как дитя... Берегите его... Настоящие таланты всегда находят и творческое содружество, и крепкое партнёрство, и цеховую артистическую солидарность, а также с удовольствием делятся знаниями и творческим опытом. Бобби и Света тому яркий пример. Они даже смотрят в одном направлении как-то похоже, правда ведь? Ещё одно подтверждение тому, что все люди - братья и сестры. Нужно лишь научиться это уважать и ценить.
Natalia Segal Там нет языковые различия в балете - говорит он тот же язык для нас все неважно, где в мире мы находимся. Великие художники, такие как Роберто и Светлана в состоянии общаться эмоции без слов, и мы все в состоянии прочитать и то же сообщение - это красота искусства :)
BlueRaspberry Для меня способ осознания действительности и способ самовыражения - это слово, в первую очередь - моя родная речь... А ребята действительно понимают друг друга великолепно. Они созданы творить прекрасное , и у них это отлично получается на языке балета. Я специально оставила сообщение именно на русском языке... Чтобы не создавалось впечатление, that Russian speakers don't care. Yes, we do! We care, and a lot! For centuries we love ballet and we always will! Thanks many times for this great video! Without your support i probably wouldn't be able to see it - i am not a computer "guru" at all... Во всяком случае, я искренне рада, что мы с Вами можем изъясняться по-русски. Спасибо, что Вы собрали воедино видео Роберто. Это огромная работа, не каждый человек за неё возьмётся. Балетные архивы - это особая тема... Вы знаете, как непросто порой отыскать необходимый материал. Поэтому так важна его своевременная систематизация .
Natalia Segal Вы очень радушны :) Наслаждайтесь! I hope you enjoy the rest of the channel too :)
Giselle, tiene vida con Svetlana. Y que bien va con Roberto Bolle, parece una pareja enamorada. Asumen sus roles. Me encanta
Невозможная красота💖
As if she's walking on a cloud! Beautiful!
☁️☁️
1:20:43 I love La Scalla's version of l'entree d'Hilarion corps de ballet really look deathly but graceful when circling Hilarion!!💞Svetlana and Roberto really embody the Albrecht and Giselle power couple as well as Marta and Vittorio!!💟
Splendida interpretazione sia di Svetlana Zakharova che di Roberto Bolle...davvero grandiosi ❤
So beuatifull
MARAVILHOSO !!!
EU REALMENTE NUNCA TINHA VISTO #GISELLE# ME CONSIDERO PRIVILEGIADA POR TER A OPORTUNIDADE DE VER UMA APRESENTAÇÃO TÃO BRILHANTE NO QUE ME DEIXOU EMOCIONADA !!!! TUDO QUE POSSO FAZER É AGRADECER PARA VOCÊ QUE POSTOU!!! MUITO OBRIGADO !!!
I love this ballet! So beautiful and breathtaking..
