Yes! I absolutely love love LOVE Svetlana! She is an amazing ballerina. Many people will never reach her level of perfection even if they trained as often as she did and worked until their hair fell out. She is truly one of the best prima's ever!
She is definitely a goddess...But I agree she is not as energetic as several other dancers. In my opinion Svetalana Zakharova is born to dance almost all the swan roles, so elegant and graceful, a personification of dignity of life. When she performs in Sleeping Beauty or Don Q, I think those roles are probably not for her....But still incredibly impressive.
I honestly love this. It's not my favorite version of Kitri (that would be Osipova or Nunez) but it's fantastic, and different while still being good. It's refreshing to see someone who doesn't pile on the sass to the point where it becomes tiring when dancing Kitri. Zakharova comes from it in a whole different way. That said, Sveta has an extremely noble and graceful beauty and bearing...it isn't very realistic for her to be an inkeeper's daughter rather than a princess!
I know and I agree that Osipova's Kitri is the best, but I like Svetlana's too. She gives us a different version of the energetic Kitri we use to see and that's awesome. Ballet is art, and that's the magic le art: There's no "good" or "bad" in a interpretation
Если на кого-то равняться,то только на Екатерину Максимову!! Она настоящая Китри, грациозная,изящная, как дорогая фарфоровая статуэтка.С совершенным чувством ритма и непревзойденной лёгкостью в движениях. Один раз увидев её в образе Китри,больше никого не захочется смотреть. А Осипова тяжеловата и ноги некрасивые.
Wonderful! 😍 Svetlana really pulls everything out of the role while staying on a high technical level! Gracefulness, Elegance and technical perfection mixed with the fire, vitality and naughtiness of a spanish señorita - The Perfect Kitri ❤💃🏻👏
@@aliciapanzer2970 yes it does. People who are shorter are a lot quicker and it's much easier for them to jump, turn, and perform in general, but those who are taller have longer legs and look more graceful. That's why most gymnasts are short
the most graceful kitri! svetlana has a very graceful style of dnacing, despite the role she has. she makes it look so easy, I never see the effort behind her movement and that makes a ballet dancer great!
Maybe it’s because I don’t dance and have any knowledge in ballet, but I don’t see a problem with her portrayal of the character and I appreciate this so much! I’ve watched other dancers and there’s just something ABOUT HER that draws me in. I’ve always loved to watch ballet even though I’m clueless and she’s my favorite. She’s simply stunning! It’s probably because of her height too but I’m just gonna mention, I LOVE how evenly proportioned she is. I’m American and I’ve noticed that a lot of our dancers here black or white, are curvier than European ballerinas and while they’re amazing, (I LOVE MISTY COPELAND) I’m just drawn back to Svetlana ❤️❤️🙌🏼 I don’t want anyone to think I’m judging! The last part about their bodies was just an observation. All dancers are very unique and special in their own way, Svetlana is just my favorite 💕
I've noticed that too. Svetlana has that calm and soft vibe that doesn't actually reflect Kitri. Diana Vishneva, I think, seems to "fit" better in spite of the fact that Zakharova for me is a perfection itself.
People who say she has no artistry, emotion, personality, fire..... ARE YOU KIDDING ME. This woman reduced me to tears when I saw her. She is stunning technically from head to toe & she can ACT! No wait, she doesn't act...she LIVES the role she is dancing. There is nothing fake about her performance. That's what I love about her. She is so open & vulnerable on stage and that is what a true artist is, she literally bears her soul to thousands of people. ❤️
Laura Shallvey I know this is an old comment but I have to say: It’s not that she doesn’t have talent or artistry, we all KNOW she does, but this is simply not the right role for her character. The ballet world is very critical but we’re not harsh just to be mean, there’s usually a reason behind our critiques :)
she is way too flexible. i am in love with her. as fantastic as she is in every role she dances, natalia osipova will never be beat as kitri. she provides so much energy and spark to the dance
Svetlana is technically perfect, but Osipova has the passion that is needed for Kitri. Also I recommend you go and watch Marianela Nuñez version, which I don't like as much as Osipova's, but is better tham Svetlana's (in my opinion).
+Elaine Virginia yeah...Svetlana is my favourite dancer in the whole world..I'd sell a kidney to see her on live stage. However I have to agree with you..off course she's more than perfect doing any ballet role, but she did not convince me as Kittri as she did as Odile or Giselle...I prefer Osipova's version than Marianela (I'm not a huge Marianela's fan, but she explodes on stage when she dances Kittri), but both of them have more "spanish" blood in vains if that makes any sense haha
Захарова - Китри и танцует она эту партию великолепно, и танцует она в классическом балете, а не в балагане, поэтому она полностью соответствует образу Китри и темперамента у неё достаточно, даже больше чем.
I love Sveta (she's by far my favorite Prima), but I agree with the other comments. She's too technical and precise for the role of Kitri. Natalia Osipova, however, brings more spunk and personality to Kitri. Svetlana is still the queen, though. Best ballerina of our generation.
I just love them both! They both have very different expressions in dance. I favor Svetlana for Carmen and Odette, and I like Natalia as Kitri. They are both amazing! Natalia for her acting and explosivety and Svetlana for her amazing extentions and fluidness.
Zakharova is a classical ballerina and Osipova is a soubrette ballerina so is my favourite Obstrakova and so was Margot Fonteyn. It is just a case of body style. Zakharova is tall and very thin and what she does is amazing. We need them all! Ballet just goes from strength to strength and gets better and better. Just enjoy their brilliance.
Svetlana Zakharova and Natalia Osipova have different styles of dancing. Its unfair to compare both of them. Its like comparing 2 singers in different genres. They're both amazing dancers and BOTH should be appreciated and recognized for their talents and HARD WORK.
Jannet Leicht,в русской школе балета - в Вагановском училище Захарова проучилась всего год,последний курс. А до этого она училась в Киеве. Так что не надо про русскую школу
I like the musicality of this one more than the other one people seem to be comparing it to. There's more impact because she's matching the music. It's true she's not as explosive as Kitri should be but the actual performance was more enjoyable because of her execution. The other girl was kind of sloppy.
Correct, Ballet is one art form you have to see in real life. A teacher told me years ago if every ballet dancer and teacher vanished off the face of the earth it would be impossible to recreate the art from from film alone. People forget it is a physcal science, it's a very technical buisness.
@repn87 agree...she is an amazing dancer but, as many other coments say...she is not Kitri...and that is not bad at all, i think this means we really get to know her by her dance and we realize when something is not like her...as much as we realize she is a perfect swan, and Osipova is a perfect Kitri...each dancer has a personality, a unique dance wich makes them artists. So yes, this role is an Osipova role, not a Svetlana one.
Svetlana may not have the energy needed in this dance but she has beautiful technique and has the right style for her character . I think she is WAY better than Natalia in this variation ...
Ambas bailarinas son magníficas en sí, cada una tiene un talento y forma propios que sobresale en algunos papeles más que en otros;pero a decir verdad ambas me gustan infinitamente, las largas piernas y elegancia de Svetlana ofrecen una visión diferente de kitri comparada con osipova que le da mucha fuerza y energía al personaje. Para concluir,lo que quiero decir es que ambas son excelentes y cada una con un estilo propio que siempre es bueno verlo en diferentes papeles ya sean más o menos dinámicos
Olga Vidal полностью с Вами согласна. Осипова в этой вариации - огонь! Захарова и в «Кармен» мне не понравилась: там вообще она танцует без эмоций, нет манкости .... и этим всё сказано.
@@olgavidal417 Да. Мне Осипова тоже нравится. А еще Анжелина Воронцова. Сейчас какой-то бум на прекрасных, красивых, техничных, талантливых балерин. На самые разные вкусы.
Светлана Захарова прекрасна в роли лебедя, она отличная Жизель, блистала в "Баядерке"... но посмотрев её Китри, у меня сложилось ощущение, что не хватает в её танце жизненной энергии...Просто редко случается видеть актёров кино или танцоров балета, способных вжиться в любую роль. В большинстве случаев у каждого своё амплуа. Тем не менее, Захарова -- моя любимая балерина, и она замечательна :))
Дело не в "нехватки жизненной энергии" - дело в биометрии... Захарова высокая балерина и такая партия с силовой и интенсивной динамикой просто не для неё... Ну это, например, если бы баскетболистка начала изображать Дюймовочку...
@@IVAN_SEMENOV_ 1,68 м - это не высокая балерина по нынешним временам. Осипова, к слову, 1,67 м. Но каким-то чудом Захарова действительно кажется крупноватой, а Осипова - миниатюрной и складненькой. Одного роста с Захаровой Вишнева. А Лопаткина так вообще 1,75 м, и ведь никто никогда не говорил, что она слишком высокая. Во всяком случае, я не слышал.

Что ни говори, а Наташа Осипова эту партию танцует шедеврально.
Осипова была огонь в этой роли, это правда! )

Осиповой легче, она кнопка.
@@user-tw1bq3fu4y Осипова великолепна в образе Китри, она обладает для этого всем.
i love how she makes this variation look like a ballet number not a gymnastics routine..
It’s difficult with trick-heavy variations like this and La Esmeralda. I agree with you.
Beautiful technique! It's cool that Svetlana can dance as Giselle and Odets beautifully but also pull off Kitri! That's a sight of a true performer
Amazing!! She is perfect! Her dance is fantastic! She is my favorite ballet dancer! Very great variation!
Fantastic!!! Great extensions and control.
Wonderful! 😍 Svetlana really pulls everything out of the role while staying on a high technical level! Gracefulness, Elegance and technical perfection mixed with the fire, vitality and naughtiness of a spanish señorita - The Perfect Kitri ❤💃🏻👏
The best kitri performance I've seen so far. She has really set a standard for all the other female ballerinas.
Because Svetlana has long legs so the variation is slower but I still think she is a goddess.
SLOWER?!!!!
Leg length should not make a difference.
@@aliciapanzer2970 yes it does. People who are shorter are a lot quicker and it's much easier for them to jump, turn, and perform in general, but those who are taller have longer legs and look more graceful. That's why most gymnasts are short
@@solitairesimp1239 reminds me of shawn johnson v nastia liukin. Hihi
She is long and thin - a dancing insect on the stage, because the long stick legs are ugly. This is not how the goddess looks.
Svetlana Zakharova is my favorite dancer... ❤️ In my opinion she's very beautiful and expressive in all roles: Kitri, Aurora, Odette... 😍✨
Absolutely flawless and amazing
She is my favorite ballet dancer!
Exactly! Osipova is Kitri! I like Zakharova too, but Osipova is the best on this variation!
the most graceful kitri! svetlana has a very graceful style of dnacing, despite the role she has. she makes it look so easy, I never see the effort behind her movement and that makes a ballet dancer great!

Zakharova is my favorite Prima, but to be honest Ospiova is a much better Kitri.
I know same! I think Svetlana is more of the elegant and dainty type like Odette, and Natalia is wild and fierce, more of a Kitri.
only as a kitri in this variation. osipova is a sloppy dancer and bolshoi company knows it.
decaf espresso well jokes on them, Osipova is now on Royal Ballet and a principal!!!
Thang Vuong how dare you
Dancer Delaney. How dare what? He’s sooo right.
she is just fantastic!
Zakharova is Perfect, but she is not Kitri.
yeah I agree
Leonie Gebhardt я
I second that. Emotionally and artistically one can't fit every role. She just did not convince me to be the headstrong, passionate spanish Kitri.
I've noticed that too. Svetlana has that calm and soft vibe that doesn't actually reflect Kitri. Diana Vishneva, I think, seems to "fit" better in spite of the fact that Zakharova for me is a perfection itself.
zakharova = swan lake

This video makes me all kinds of happy. Such great energy and enthusiasm. She looks like she's flying!
Perfection at it's very best. 😍❤️💕
Zakharova was a ball of fire! Such explosive dancing to match such passionate music. She set the stage on fire and left in triumph.
A most incredible 48 seconds
Perfect performances like this make me cry and not many dancers can make me cry

Osipova was born to play Kitri!
Svetlana Zakharova is SPECTACULAR as KITRI in Don Q. BRAVO!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Захарова - это просто Фантастика!
gives you amazing confidence, you just relax and enjoy her mastery
To me Plisetskaya is a more robust, feeling, flirtatious Kitri, but they both are miles ahead of everyone with their mastery of technique.
I just love them both! They both have very different expressions in dance. I favor Svetlana for Carmen and Odette, and I like Natalia as Kitri. They are both amazing! Natalia for her acting and explosivety and Svetlana for her amazing extentions and fluidness.
Why 30 people don't like it? She's perfect. When I saw 30 "I don't like" I was amazed. Svetlana is fantastic.
I love your dancer ^^
Thank for your performances.
