SWAN LAKE - White Swan (Plisetskaya-Kovtun, 1973)

Руки, руки. Этл что-то с небес. Браво@

Wow that's so beautiful!

She's a beautiful dancer, very graceful in her movements.

Ottima la regia ideativa del collettivo danzante con posture figurali alcune delle quali inedite ed estremamente accattivanti. Ottima la fibrillazione dei passi sulle punte in eundo veloce della ballerina e la levità fluente fatta tensione elanista e motile sorprendente. Ottima la capacità espressiva e di mantenimento delle pose figurali anche in fase esecutiva. Ottimo il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante.Molto bravi Tutti gli agenti in proscenio.Bighin GIULIO RENZO

She tried to leave Russia but they wouldnt let her. Her book will break your heart. She suffered greatly. Sometimes so hungry they had to eat cans of cat food. She suffered for her art.
I, Maya Plisetskaya
Her autobiography. Here is an Abstract

In this chapter, Maya Plisetskaya reflects on the meager pay she and her fellow dancers received from the Soviet state. During her April 1959 tour to America with her ballet family, Maya was given $40 per performance and nothing on the days when she did not dance. The corps de ballet received $5 a day. When Maya danced Lady with the Dog in America, the American dog that appeared with her on the Yalta pier got $700 a performance. It was forbidden to talk to anyone, especially to foreigners, about financial arrangements with performers in the Soviet Union. It was common for Soviet performers to faint from hunger even during a performance. Solo tours were “arranged” through Gosconcert, which had a state monopoly on every performer from one-sixth of the world.

What a beautiful "Pas de deux".

She must have been a swan in another life....she makes you feel what she is dancing so deeply. Bravissima.

She makes it look so easy!

If I could have one thing in life, it would be to see Maya Plisetskaya perform live in the 50's in Moscow. That's it.

The way she moves is amazing. She's so soft and gracious, I've never seen such a great White Swan before!
