If it weren't for Elena Lev, Cirque de Soleil would never have been as successful as its hayday. The original Alegria (1994-), in which Elena was the star performer, contributed to the development of the entire Cirque production tremendously. In the interview of DVD Alegira (2003), Elena was still a teen, but already shining as a leading artist -- full of beauty, intelligence, and professionalism. It is unbelievably awesome to see her being a super star in new Alegria after 2 1/2 decades. Elena has accomplished so much and is a true maverick in the circus world! The new Alegira may resume next year, and I don't know if she will come back. I hope she will, but even if not, I will congratulate Elena Lev for Alegria!
Well said. No one can forget her performance in that green outfit. Alegria back then was just so, so good. Cirque is just recycling material at this point.
I watched the new version of Alegria yesterday and I honestly couldn't help but wish she were there. It was such an honor to witness the original 27 years ago. Her beauty, her grace, and her unparalleled performance, perfected in her teens! Her charm will never fade❤
The legendary Elena Lev is still full of life and grace. The astonishing performer brings her eternal shine to the show. She is "Alegria"; she is "Cirque du Soleil". She is the brilliant Elena Lev!!

Stop trusting them ... all of them (no matter which "side" they represent) ... and instead use your own common sense, because in the end you cant do anything ... and running around like a headless chicken because you are afraid will not help the situation either.
The hoop diving guys from Volta seem like such chill and upbeat people to be around and look like their having a blast. I think that energy also transfers to the audience as well.
It’s crazy what a difference the music makes in the energy of the new and old Alegria. I always thought Elena seemed confident and almost threatening in the old one. Like a twisty, poison green snake, beautiful but dangerous. The new performance feels so graceful and introspective, almost effortless. Very different vibes!
Even after two years since I saw this video, the energy of Volta's hoop performance keeps making me smile and enjoy like a child. I hope I can see that show live at least once
We loved being a part of making Lucia happen with our conveyor system. Great to watch it all again from 18:30 and see the skill of the acrobats in action!!! Love Love Love!
Excellent Act 😊 by a Female artist in Light Blue and another Female artist in two-piece costume 😊 gave remarkable Performance 🏵️🏵️..on a huge , roung glass tub. This is an emotional Act 😊. Excellent.
Смотреть на Вас огромное удовольствие,Вы прекрасны,Вы дарите много любви, радости и счастья.Здоровья Всем Вам!!!!! ЛЮБЛЮ ВАС И ОБОЖАЮ!!!!!Вы сила !!!!!!
Mesmerizingly graceful. When the two ladies used all the rings together it reminded me of when you see the silver fins swimming together in the Ocean, almost making a shimmering silver whirlpool together. The whole lot of this is just gorgeous and majestic. Love the various music and costumes too, especially 25:22. That gorgeous snug blue suit just adds to to stunning vibe 🙂😊
Amazing core-strength and at its finest! Enjoying the weekly presentations! Thanks for all of the incredible work put in for this presentation. Cirque is "CirqueTrodinary"!!
The new version of Alegria is even cool, but it could have given a fresh look at the best song from the original show, because Elena's presentation with that song is sensational, but the new song didn’t match a presentation.
@@Tubeman316 yes but he is not talking about Elena, its about the music, I agree with him, the music in the new Alegria isn't good as the old one, al least not for me
I also feel like the new music is weak. The power track for example doesn't feel as powerful as the original one. In Elena's performance, the calm or quiet parts of the music makes the presentation look simple or unfinished, idk. Love Elena, she's awesome and amazing as always.
Crazy to think I was 14 when the first show came out then a revamp at 39! I only took interest to cirque du soleil as a kid because of her talent Wow! She still got it!
she is the queen of #cirquedusoleil hoops contortion i hope Elena Lev does a #cirquedusoleil hoops contortion legends group act with Masha Silaeva, Anna Stankus & Irina Akimova!
There are alot of good hoola hoopers, but in my mind Elena Lev set the bar for all time. Cirque must think so too, because they saved the best for last.
Eu amei o compilado de Hoop, mas senti falta de algumas personalidades: Irina Akimova em Delirium e Sante Fortunato em Corteo. Tinha algumas performances de Aerial Hoop que já foram mostrados no compilado de The Best of Aerial.
sim é mto legal eu n vou fazer hoop mas sim jazz so estou aq pq a pro mandou a gente assisti isso aq ksksks, finalmente encontrei uma pessoa que fala portugues

What is the name of the singer?
What is the name of the singer? she is the star of Allegria too
My favorite is the Native American pair in Totem! The dancing, the singing, the hoop wings! So creative.
One of the standout acts of that show for me
He has a channel, @cirquelife
Was Nakotah Larancer one of the dancers here?

love that it started and ended with the great Elena Lev!!!
In times of Pandemic, watching Cirque du Soleil's joy and energy makes us overcome fear. We will remain optimistic that we are in the audience.
_I must not fear._
_Fear is the mind-killer._
_Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration._
_I will face my fear._
_I will permit it to pass over me and through me._
_And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path._
_Where the fear has gone there will be nothing._
_Only I will remain._
FEAR is the PURPOSE of the coof coof ... and of the (contradicting) messages which media, politicians and "experts" spread. People who are afraid are easier to control!

Thank you so much for this special! Hoops are one of my favorite acts:) And of course Elena Lev is one of my favorite performers!

"So what do you do for a living?..."
"I dress up as bird and jump through hoops."
clray123 jajajaja lol
Three interesting and entertaining Acts 😊 together. We Admire.
Women in Red Costume 🌺 performed Very Well 😊.
It was an Excellent Drama, Risky and Entertaining also. Great 💐.
My fav is the original Alegria. My fav. Cirque du Soleil is Alegria in general. Hoops and Flying Man were amazing!
The new version of Alegria is even cool, but it could have given a fresh look at the best song from the original show, because Elena's presentation with that song is sensational, but the new song didn’t match a presentation.

Bazaar looks like such an exciting show! I'd love to see that one live!

Elena Lev's act has barely changed in almost 30 years.
Does anyone know how old Elena was in the recording beginning around 34:30? Where was this specific show held (what city)?
Im pretty sure she said in an interview she was 19 and I’m pretty sure that show was in Sydney
@@lizettesaenz1156 Thanks!
Magnifc👏👏👏🌸💕
Please do "the best of diabolo" ❤️❤️
The best.
What is the name of this amazing song?!!! Elena
Music in that first clip is out of this world
Eu amei o compilado de Hoop, mas senti falta de algumas personalidades:
Irina Akimova em Delirium e Sante Fortunato em Corteo.
Tinha algumas performances de Aerial Hoop que já foram mostrados no compilado de The Best of Aerial.
