Adam: Giselle (The Royal Ballet)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Giselle remains one of the most popular Romantic ballets of all time. The story brings together an engaging mix of human passions, supernatural forces, and the transcendent power of self-sacrificing love. The production by Sir Peter Wright catches the atmosphere of this great Romantic ballet, especially in the perfection of its White Act, with ghostly maidens drifting through the forest in spectacular patterns -- one of the most famous of any scenes for the corps de ballet. Giselle dances with lightness and fragility, giving the impression of floating through the mist.
This is one of The Royal Ballet's most loved and admired productions, faithful to the spirit of the 1841 original yet always fresh at each revival. This performance features former Bolshoi star and now Royal Ballet principal Natalia Osipova in a breath-taking interpretation of the title role.

1:20 i’m obsessed on how the fabric of her dress just swirls it’s so gorgeous and adds some sort of aspect to the entire dance
Yeah itz just like it flows with her
Same with the piquet sequence at the end. The turns just became more dramatic
Truly just ethereal
I hope that style of dressing up will come back to our fashion... and the hardwork of passion of creating perfect fabric sort of thing i dont know what im saying i dont know the terms but i hope you get the point..
Yesss It really looks like a living fairytale with that dress
The turn sequence at the end is just absolutely phenomenal! She's so graceful. When she jumps and leaps it's like she's weightless and her turns are exquisite; she makes ballet look the way it should look: effortless.
The turn sequence at the end I would fallen
Yes as a ballet dancer it was freaking painful when i used my point shoes, the protectinh in the toe wasnt enough (sometimes i put all of my toes some bandaid) yet this girl make it hella easy :-;
I’ve seen ballet dancers’ feet, it’s probably nowhere near effortless, but the fact that they make it look effortless is the most impressive bit
She looks like a falling spinning flower at the end
@@lawriem7747 Lmao. When I did ballet, I promised myself to never let my feet get "ugly" like some of the older girls. Then I started pointe and let's just say I prayed for forgiveness.
Dancers' feet are no joke!
No matter how many ballet clips I watch, I always come back to this one. Absolutely stunning.
Me too😍
Same
Same I love Giselle mainly Osipova’s version
Sammee
Me too oh my
1:57 everytime I see professional ballerinas do this step, my mouth literally falls open
I was just watching another ballerina do this dance and the energy change is so drastic between these two performances. I love that this one shows Giselle's happiness and excitement so well.
This is not meant to devalue the performances of other ballerinas or say anyone who doesn't do this as fast or energetically is bad. I am just so impressed by this performance and this part.
It feels as if she were flying. Truly amazing 👏☺️
yep pique turns! i love doing them :)
it seems hard but it actually isnt haha
@@ecstasy5022trust me it is
I love ballet, I even do it but I’m not this good lol I’m still a beginner. I’m absolutely obsessed with these type of dancer’s technique, I’ve watched this part a million times. Even in slow motion and it’s just so satisfying the way she moves. It’s so beautiful
1:38 this step is really hurting her feet but she still manages to smile for the audience it's just incredible
is it? Personally I don't find hops to be painful, esp if my shoe is not too dead
i have so much respect for professional ballerinas. or, just any ballerinas en pointe in general. i myself do ballet, but im not at that level yet. these women push through all the pain, whilst still keeping a smile on their face. absolutely incredible
@@-suguru-for me, it honestly depends on how calloused my feet are.
Do you know the name of the step?
She is dancing like her soul is free.
Super Fangirl beautiful statement
Maybe her soul is free.
Because it IS
YEAH
She almost floats across the floor, like she's lighter than air. She looks ethereal!
Those pirouettes are insanely fast! Impressive!
they're piqué turns
i never got over wings era armys are everywhere istg-
pique turns*
Pique*
They're piqués lol
Those FEET, I am astounded by how strong her feet have to be to wear such soft shoes, it gives her such a light and airy quality too!
point shoes arent soft at all..... extremely uncomfortable for a layman to wear
ign Nolo / laliluza no he’s saying that the pointe shoes are dead. They look worn out.
@@tabbytabster they arent always hard tho: the softer the shoe is, the less sounds it makes. Softer shoes are easier for jumps etc.
ign Nolo / laliluza pointe shoes* her shoes look pretty soft though. Probably because she dances in them for more than 8 hours a day
after initially seeing this comment i thought it was going to go in a different direction
Let's be honest, this isn't your first time here.
shhhhh 🤫
It's my first time here. I fall in love with this after watching angels last mission love and wanted to see it
it's my third time😂, i love Giselle
it's my first time here, my art teacher asked us to watch and respond
Nope
the way the fabric of her skirt flares so softly and elegantly through the air is literally moving me to tears. wonderful cinematic production . so much respect for live performers. people really don't understand just how many times they must have to rehearse to perfect their roles. much respect to all dancers and actors.
There's so much flowing fabric and movement. Technique is easier to see in bell or pancake tutus but romantic ones (like the ones used in Giselle usually) definitely are my favorite. So gorgeous.
1:38 me getting into drama that has nothing to do with me
Lolll
Lmao!
deaddd💀
AHAHAHAHA
Jeffree star tingz ✨
I can't even walk across a room without tripping over my own feet
Are you me?
@@xxxvicxxx5340 the BIG question is, are both of you ME???
One for all, all for one
s a m e
I have more siblings?
1:37 me when I hit my little toe of my foot to a table.
Lorie Adams
IM WHEEZING 😂
Except mine is at playback speed 2x
Caramel Buns 😂😂😂
sanjeev kumar lmao I cant
Every time a ballerina does pointe work, they stub their toes on the floor
One thing I especially love in her performance is a slight element of hysteria. She's not just in love... she's crazy in love. And it sets up what happens in a few minutes just perfectly. As incredible a technician Osipova is, I don't think she gets enough credit for being the best actor in ballet.
So well put! She is the best!
Intriguing. Would you mind telling me what happens next? I'm totally unaware of this ballet
@@cormorant_on_arock7934 If my memory serves me correct, I believe she finds out her lover has been lying to her. He's married to the rich woman shown in the beginning
@@jmekhaeil7816 when she finds out, she goes mad, after one crazy dance she then dies because of her weak heart
And, plot wise, what was happening at the beginning? When her mother held her as if to encourage her? What did that woman tell her?
She's so graceful! Everytime she jumps, it looked like she's weightless and her soul is free. She dances gracefully and effortlessly. My respect to ballet dancers📈📈📈📈
1:19 WOW. I loVe The way the fabric of her skirt flows and the way it shows the movement, it’s amazing!
1:56 too, WOW?
DaantjeDraws y si ves bien se queda en quinta posición
Its like shes a disney princess or something
Its so satisfyingg!
2:05 too
If only I had worked harder, I could've been standing in the back holding a stuffed falcon.
😂
omg ha, this made me laugh out loud
Lol. Gold. 😂
:D, but also where is that guy standing, it's looks to me like he's standing in the backdrop
Ripp😂
Did you see how soft her pointe shoes were?!? I honestly hope her feet were okay cause jeez!!!😬😱
How can it be noticed? Sorry if that may be a stupid question, I love ballet, but I'm not an expert. Are soft pointe shoes a bad thing? But if the answer is yes, she still did an amazing and outstanding job. 😲
Sarah Möller I'm also not an expert lol but there's a thick block of material inside the top of the shoes (the part they stand on when they go up on their toes), so a soft pointe shoe means it's worn down and it could damage her feet or mess up the dance and she could injure herself. Ik most ballet dancers (and especially dancers at the royal ballet) go through up to like 4 pairs just per show bc they wear down so quickly
Her shoes were probably either dying or already dead depending on what act this is.
Sarah Möller softer the pointe shoes become, bigger the strength and effort your feet will do. Pointe shoes need to be smashed and broken a bit before dancing, as they come really really hard when they are new and you can’t dance with them, but the moment they become too soft, you can easily get injured.
You can tell how soft a pointe shoe is seeing the bends and angles the foot and ankle do during dancing, but in my opinion her shoes don’t look too soft.
BTS addict the shoes bent the same way her feet is, it’s like she was wrapping satin over her feet and dance. I guess it offered her lightweight and familiarity but she was on pointe and it could hurt her feet (I heard that a lot of the dancers lost their toe nails because of that)
Ballet is seriously no joke. Years of immense hardwork is what we just saw
1:06 i love this part sm 😭😭
Those piqués turns are utterly unbelievable. I've seen this production endless times since I have it on DVD, and I've followed Osipova's career for years, and I'm still amazed by her wonderful footwork and stage presence.
Me, too. I find she has a slightly tomboyish exuberance which adds to her charm.
1:52 look at the look of relief on her face when she finishes the variation.
@@ulrichopfermann4148 woah chill it’s okay❤️🥺
@@ulrichopfermann4148 calm down. as a former ballerina i can absolutely say that we feel immense relief everytime we finish a difficult variation. ballet is perfection, and even the best of us are not naturally perfect, so when we can perform like we are, we feel relief and joy.
it’s almost like natalia osipova is the best character for any role she’s put to, in my opinion she’s the best giselle, best kitri, etc, her acting is what sets her aside from any other prima of her generation. There’s no one that can ever live up to her she’s truly created history as one of the best ballerinas to have ever existed
I prefer her over perfect ice queen Zakharova
Osipova’s only setback that I’ve noticed in several performances is sacrificing clean technique for jumping height, turning speed, an elevated acting performance etc. With that said, she’s one of the most captivating dancers to watch.
@@clairedellapenna you have explained exactly why, even with her perfection, I didn’t like zakharovas Giselle.
@@mausemadchenmi7144 i completely agree there’s such a difference between the two!!
@@payingtoplay Zakharova does flawlessly performed steps. Osipova IS Giselle. Zakharova would be much better as Myrtha than Giselle.
All these Giselle performances, but I've never seen such good acting. Everyone's complimenting the elegance, the perfection of steps, the dress or how gracefully and quickly she moves, but the one thing that gives me shivers, no matter how many times I watch it, is her expression of the character. So natural, so realistic that you forget it's a ballet and truly can focus on a story being told, while perfectly understanding what's happening and what 'Giselle' feels. I've seen quite a few performances and they all were perfect, yet in my opinion soulless. This is definitely something I'll be rewatching in future :)
This is very well put and I completely agree. That's why she's one of a kind. There are lots of great ballerinas of course but Natalia's emotional portrayal of the role and her acting are really indescribably excellent and my favourite, personally.
You have just experienced the magic of the enchantress that is Osipova.
What a marvel she is!
Osipova is one of the most stunning perfect ballerinas of our time, and there aren't many that hold that title. BORN to dance !
I could watch this again and again. She’s so stable and accurate with her turns! No shaking whatsoever! Absolutely beautiful and full of elegance!
Agree. That’s Bolshoi Russian training right there...
Ohhhh she is a very childlike and exuberant Giselle!
She is just... So perfect... I just can't...
1:20 It's really detailed how the dancer uses the enough velocity on her pirouettes so the skirt elevates according to the intensity of the music 😍
yes!!
Her expression definitely fits and her turns at the end are so fast
This is the best Giselle variation I've ever seen!! She did so well and I love how she was smiling the whole time - even during the pique turns! Not a lot of people do that!
Do you know that feeling when something gives you incredible joy and the more ypu keep doing it the more happy it makes you???like it literally makes you smile.....?
Yeah i think thats happenning with her
Whenever I watch Osipova I feel like I'm not just watching a ballet performance/solo
I feel like I'm part of the story.
....like I'm lost in it.
I feel like I'm experiencing art. I am completely and utterly immersed in the story.
What an enchantress!
SHE is absolutely fantastic, so ethereal and committed to the story, every movement radiates with Giselle even the top of the turn. What a ballerina for our time! BRAVA
Se dice bravo, señora
Lies again? Twinkle Toes
Arguably ther best "Giselle" ever. Osipova is not only an exquisite dancer but a wonderful actor as well.She LIVES the part.
Ferdia Riordan
Incredibly light and lyrical. Osipova is definitely the best Giselle of her time. I'm just amazed by her artistry.
i'm currently watching a korean drama called (angel's last mission : love) , it's about a ballerina falling in love with an angel , and i have noticed that they talk a lot about giselle and trying to create the perfect giselle performance , and honestly i had no idea about giselle or ballet in general , so i searched and i didn't regret , the chemistry and performance was awesome , this made me want to be a ballerina so bad , the way they expressed giselle's craziness and the way she died , it was just awesome , this made me feel like no matter how kdramas are just a wast of time , you definitely learn something from it
someone yes I’m watching the drama too so I searched for this. Love it
YES OMG.SAME SAME
I saw it it was amazing
I'm here for the same reason
Please I came here since I'm watching that drama
Why is it every single time I watch an Osipova solo her shoes are completely destroyed
she prefers softer shoes.
because thats what happens when you dedicate everything you have into dance
they’re so broken.. her feet are just ridiculously strong
yes , i can see she was feeling pain...
I've noticed a lot of ROHs principal dancers prefer their shoes to be on the edge. Somewhere on UA-cam there is a video of Yasmine Nagadi explaining how she prepares her pointes and it involves ripping out the sole and trimming what's left with a craft knife! I think there are various reasons why this might be so. One, most of the dancers with the destroyed shoes are relatively petite - I didn't notice Zenaida's shoes looking tired. Smaller feet are stronger. Longer feet need more support. Secondly, ROH dancers have 150 performances a year, the Bolshoi, I dare say, more, which must strengthen their feet. And thirdly, I believe there is a general dislike in the company for the sound of a hard shoe hitting the stage during performances. Done :)
The happiness and joy in her is what made her talent and performances far more amazing and beautiful than ever.
I’m no ballet expert, but I’ve seen some amazing dancers do this piece without flaw, however this one by far is terrific. She moves so quick, precise and with ease, as if she’s a feather. The ending sequence is truly flawless and stunning, the speed is impossibly amazing. Very impressed!
She is one of the most original, expressive, and technically brilliant Giselles in history.
She is the best Giselle i've ever seen😍👏👏
Would you kick a child for one million dollars?
Me: 1:39
LMAO MY PARENTS ARE SLEEPING DON'T DO THIS TO ME
Wtf😂😂😂
lol this is way to underrated XD
BAHAHA
Nice kick🦵
Wow at that ending. She's my favorite to watch.
I love her musicality. Each movement flows and pauses with the music's phrases, and it just makes so much sense
Да, замечательно исполнено.
When she was on her toes hoping I could see the pain in her eyes but she kept on dancing with a smile on her face. Beautiful, brilliant, and mesmerising.
One of the best Giselle variation I've ever seen... She is literally interpreting every step, she is going above the technique to DANCE... beautiful
Shes like an angel
As a musician I usually only cry when I hear beautiful music, however I was about to cry watching this girl dance. Oh my god that was gorgeous 😭💞 she looked so light on her feet
haloo!! do you know the name of this piece? I've been trying to find it but still can't :')
@@khaii79 unfortunately I do not 😭 I’m quite young so I’m not entirely well versed in many musical pieces yet, but I would love to find this one out
@@cloutelfin8323 ah its okey!! I've found the title of the piece last night with the help of my music teacher, it's called "Giselle: Act I: Variation de Giselle", here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/AbQFcDmYh4U/v-deo.html :)))
@@khaii79 THANK YOUUU
@@cloutelfin8323 your welcome!!
I know the costume doesn't matter all that much, but whoever designed that skirt deserves an award! The way it complements her dancing is beautiful. The way it falls and drapes gracefully around her legs is just amazing. It really accentuates the dancing and makes the dancer look as if she is floating. Its just so beautiful that I had to watch the video twice because the skirt captivated me the first time haha.
My favorite of all time.
the way she has impeccable footwork with that quick of a tempo is incredible honestly, what an icon
When she spinned and her dress slowly falls is just so cool
I love how she holds the hem of her dress, just so it can swirl around her like that. Its such a small detail that adds so much to how the dance looks
The best turns I've ever seen. She's the best I've ever seen. Unbelievable, this woman.
the most gorgeous portrayal of giselle. the menege at the end was flawless.
1:22
The most graceful thing I have ever seen oml
real
Her spins we're out of the world sooo amazing
This is me cry. She's so beautiful
i keep rewinding 1:21 *THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL*
She really looks like a princess to me😍
She is not a Princess...she is a peasant girl.
Giselle is soooo underrated it is an absolutely stunning ballet in a subtle way
I can't even count how many times I've watched this anymore...
Her control, her facial expressions, I strive to dance like her! Brava! 👏
Ballets is one of the most graceful art forms out there. It is so beautiful!
That part where the music matches her spinning sounds so beautiful and yearning, I love it.
I can visualize all of her hard work behind this.
she really captures giselle's instability with the girlish, playful attitude at the beginning and finishing with the almost manic turns at the end.
the way that dress flows with her makes the piece look even more magical
この人のバレエが一番好きかもしれない...。
The music is really beautiful too!
The pure PAIN that must be hidden behind that smile. I cannot even imagine.
Perfection: acting, musicality, techniques- so naturally together- so I seee Giselle is dancing
1:06 Something about her spin feels magical. Her spin right there is just absolutely perfect and elegant (i rewatch this many time because of this part too 🥰)
Angel last mission love bring me here.. this is soo good!!
Me too
She is just so, so good in this role! Everything. Technique, placement, feet, extension, musicality, beauty, and soul.
Being there in the audience to watch would be ideal. Failing that, I'm so glad for UA-cam. I can re- watch the variations and look at only a single element, like placement. Then I can go back and look at something else.
One of my favorite elements in this video is the staging. The "sups" (dancers in the background) add so much to the energy and believability of the story. I think they are generally highly underappreciated by some ballet audiences (but let's be frank: when Osipova is dancing, it's almost impossible not to watch her).
For me, more than anyone -- even the principals -- the sups are what makes a story ballet like Giselle come alive. It's all about the genuine-looking emotion behind their facial expressions, the super- subtle but effective way they call attention to the ballerina as she moves through their field of vision, and more simply, their commitment to their roles, no matter how small.
The fact is that every single dancer in this "background" cast could credibly dance Giselle's principal roles anywhere in the world. Yet instead of sulking and "phoning it in," the background dancers fully commit to their supporting roles.
That, dance friends, is professionalism.
She's so light and it's amazing how she shows the character's youth in not only her face, but in every step as well
I've played this video over a million times already and she never ceases to mesmerize me with her graceful movements. She's the very definition of "floating in the air" in ballet.
I can’t stop watching this. The expressions, the fluidity, the control... so mesmerizing.
I know this is like 5 years old, but it still remains one of my favorite videos on UA-cam. I have been dancing since I was 3 and I aspire to be a professional dancer like Natalia. I know I will never be as good as her, but she is such an inspiration and she makes me feel like I may be able to be a professional in the future. ❤️❤️
i've never seen so much grace in my whole life
Natalia osipovas variation of Giselle is probably the best I’ve ever seen. She is clean, light and fresh. Even when performing some of the most difficult steps she looks astoundingly graceful. Well done Natalia !
The most rewatchable ballet
I’ve never seen this variation done so fast! I knew Osipova was an amazing dancer, but wow!
Me at 5: I want to be a ballerina
Me now: I want to be in the back holding a stuffed falcon
Lmaoooo
I didn't know anything about ballet, but I'm obsessed to the story of giselle cause reading a japanesse novel, and then i'm watching the full version on youtube. But, believe me. This one is sooooo beautiful! I'm keeping back here just to compare her with other, but... she's still win the most beautiful giselle I ever seen (in my eyes of course)
To be able to spin like that--GOD i wish! Looks so freeing!
This really shows how much facial expressions truly add to a dance. It adds so much more character 🥹🥹
ballet is the most beautiful form of dance & i wish i was as fit as I was when i was doing ballet!! nowadays, i just incorporate it into fitness if i can. A wonderful performance, such great talent!!
Even after watching SO MANY other ballet dancing.. this is still my favorite 💛
the chills i have from this!! she’s so genuine and strong
She looks so happy doin this performance
I would like to see the whole ballet Giselle with Natalia, she is so special, she plays a Giselle so innocent and pathetic, all this story becomes real with her.
This is beautiful she is beautiful I am awestruck you could see her beauty from the way she danced
She blew my mind...simply exquisite.
I know barely anything about ballet but this performance was by far my FAVORITE.
I’ve watched so many performances from so many amazing ballerina’s and I can easily say SHE IS THE BEST! She is a phenomenal performer and I would watch hours of her dancing
She has so much stamina yet her movements are so light and delicate
回るとスカートがひらひら〜って綺麗になるのがとても凄いと感動しました……✨
バレエを見る時、楽しんで見ようって
つい意識してしまうけど、
これはなにも意識しなくても純粋に見ていて楽しかったです！
I love ballet because they are telling the story though dance instead of speaking
