I've watched all the Odile variations I could find and Nina is still my favorite, over Svetlana. Not only are her moves harder, but she really embodies the character-haughty and proud. Even her gestures while bowing convey this arrogance (she knows she's getting away with crime!) and one of my favorite moments is how she throws away the flower bouquet, seemingly laughing at the foolish, silly prince.
When Kaptsova was child, she wanted to go down in history as one of greatest ballerinas of her generation and dance Odette/Odile. She dancer Odette/Odile and IS one of the greatest ballerinas of her generation, but she met likely will not to down in history as such, unfortunately.
Very unique. I love it. The music is a little bit slow but their dance is totally elegant, so the music matches the dance. I recognize North Macedonia is a very small country. But it keeps its artistic culture very nicely.
yes, it is a nice production, very well filmed and edited, but I saw very quickly that it was not a Russian company, the corps de ballet is not at the same level of quality, also the scenery and decor are a bit strange but it is such a pleasure to see Nina Kaptsova. She is unique.
really curious how they expanded Rothbart's part in this, even giving him one of the princes variations in act 3. Overall I like it. I dont care much for the corps or the costumes, but Odette/Odile and prince Siegfied are fantastic.
Can someone explain the plot for me? Is Siggy just dreaming the whole thing? Is the guy in the top hat also Von Rothbart? He seems like Drosselmeyer. Wanted to see Kaptsova dance a Swan Lake, but I'm just not getting the plot here.
on the offical website of the ballet company: I ACT “Intro” Young Siegfried, absorbed in thought and fantasies about the fanciful girl in white. But she is just an illusion. Hoping to meet and fall in love in just as like, he fells a sleep. Suddenly appears a strange man - it’s the evil sorcerer - Rothbart. He finds out about the fantasies of the young man and decides to prove that true love it’s just an invention of the writers, poets and artists. He creates conditions, where there is everything: Respect, fame and fortune, love, betrayal and remorse… I scene “Park at the castle” The servants of the kingdom dance at the lea. Noticing the young prince, who sleeps in the house, they are surprised: he is dressed uncommonly! Our young hero is awakening. Where is he?! Everything is unknown and strange; everyone is rendering homage to him. Appears the Mentor and also referees to him with a question - what kind of clothes is he wearing? His mother - The Great Queen should appear every moment now! Everything is clear! - our hero is taken for someone else - more exactly for the heir of the crown - Prince Siegfried! After all it seems it’s a dream, but that dream is unexpected and pleasant because to be a Prince is so tempting and interesting! Our hero has changed his clothes. For the first time he sees that woman, she kisses him gently and gives him the family medallion. The merry feast in his honor continues, in honor of the majority of the Prince Siegfried. In the far away kingdoms the invitations are already sent and the brides are already on their way. Tomorrow will be chosen the one and only, the one that will be chosen by the Prince. Gradually it is getting dark. What should he do? Of course - to the lake - to hunt. II scene “Lake” The evil Rothbart exults: everything is going according to his plan. He made up everything: he turned the white swans into women - swans. Among them, the beautiful Odette, to whom Siegfried has to swear to eternal love. The shore of the lake. They meet, the Prince is overjoyed of the beauty and the gentleness of the woman’s soul. His heart trembles - he is convinced that he found the love of his life. II ACT III scene „Castle“ At the castle everything is ready for the gala ceremony. The guests are arriving. The list of potential brides is defined. For the Prince Siegfried magically beautiful brides dance from diverse kingdoms. But he can’t make his choice - in his heart lives only Odette and his love for her. Unexpectedly it is announced that an unknown candidate for a bride is arriving. Rothbart prepared another test for the prince: he introduces the black swan - the sister of Odette - Odile. She is enchantingly beautiful and casts a shadow on everyone else, the enchanted from her charm Siegfried, throwing away every doubt, swears to Odile to eternal love. But what is happening with him? After he swears to Odile as if every enchantment disappeared and the Prince felt the cry of Odette and his heart called to see Odette! God! How much is he guilty! Will the loved one be able to forgive his mistake? In the castle originates panic. Rothbart exults again, because he knows that for Siegfried the worst is yet to come. IV scene “Lake“ The Lake is agitated, there is a storm! Odette can’t find her place, her soul weeps. Rothbart controls the situation; he waits for Siegfried for the final test. Siegfried appears. He breaks the curse! He betrayed his love! He destroyed his own ideal! He begs Odette for forgiveness and tries to explain to her that someone else manages with his awareness. He can’t act like that, betraying his own love! In front of them appears the genius of Evil - Rothbart and Siegfried realizes who was that man: the swans and Odette subjugates to Rothbarts witchcraft and Siegfried himself is not able to oppose to that black force. Only the arch can stop this demon! Siegfried shoots with the arch at Rothbart and, Oh, God! The love is betrayed! The evil is not punished! The loved one is dead! Siegfried is infinitely desperate. For him there isn’t a place in this world, but he will be with Odette even in heaven. He sacrifices himself for love and throws himself after her into the abyss… “Epilog” The first sun gleams that rises on the horizon… The evil sorcerer is disappointed: after all love exists, if there is self-sacrifice for that sacred filling. He stops the dream. The young man awakes… was that a dream and everything disappeared without a trace??! No! His love and aspiration did not disappear! All that he lived through stays within. And here, as a reward, destiny gives him an inestimable gift. In front of him appears a woman. She - she is the one, for whom he had dreamed all of his life, she is Odette from the dream. She is the one that he loves and admires!!! They run towards each other, towards their happiness! They have dreams, they have love! They have each other. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. ll of this the genius of Evil - Rothbart observes. He is strong, but to conquer true love is not in his power. To destroy him - it is not possible, but it is possible to defeat him!!! Rothbart leaves.
Капцова - прекрасная балерина! Строгая, академичная. Понятно, что некоторым комментирующим непривычно видеть такую Одетту/Одилию, тк они привыкли видеть своих жеманных куриц в этой роли. А у лебедя, напомню, нет ни жеманности, ни куриных замашек. Развиваетесь! P.S. Дирижёр и оркестр🤦🏻♂️
I felt like the costumes for this one were the best out of all the Swan Lakes I watched. Maybe the show is shorter, but nothing felt substandard. Stage design was beautiful too.
I'm not sure it is on DVD, unfortunately many ballet companies like Bolshoi don't release many of their cinema broadcasts on DVD, and the videos exist as illegal copies...
This is a long way down for Kaptsova. The orchestra is out of tune, the choreography badly lacking (Kaptsova did a lot of standing around and not a whole lot of dancing) and nothing inspiring at all in the performances. Take a good look at the difference between her and Zakharova with Bolle as her partner. Not even on the same planet. One wonders why Kaptsova agreed to dance this.
My dear, Kaptsova is an outstanding Etoile less famous but definitely not less valuable than Zaharova. How can you possibly compare North Macedonia ballet and orchestra with La Scala ballet and orchestra??
Whose coreography is this and which ballet company? Cannot be compared to Bolshoi and Mariinsky. Everything is so poor including the orchestra and the dancers. Not a professional staging.
Mediocre. If it had already been filmed, they could have paid attention to the cuts / why do we need to see behind the scenes? /The main characters are boring, full of small inaccuracies.UA-cam spoils us, .......we can see the best........well this wasn't it.
Нина Капцова несравненно хороша Академизм просто прекрасен Излучает элегантность, хороший вкус и преемственность мастерства Прекрасная Нина ,настоящая Одетта Овчаренко красив и изыскан
Овчаренко просто молодец Хорош Нина Капцова просто фея С ней балет становится изящным и прекрасным, изумительным Волшебница наша
Очень люблю Капцову. 🌸💮 Отдельно за её прелестную, изящную фигурку.

Amazing performance, divine Nina and wonderful, soulful Artem Ovcharenko, my fav ballet dancers. What a beauty and grace! Bravo and thank you!
Nina Nina Forever 💐
When Kaptsova was child, she wanted to go down in history as one of greatest ballerinas of her generation and dance Odette/Odile. She dancer Odette/Odile and IS one of the greatest ballerinas of her generation, but she met likely will not to down in history as such, unfortunately.
Wonderful performance! Thank you so much, my dear lady friend! xxx So happy to see again and admire Nina xxx and Artyom!
Magici!!!!! Altissimo livello tecnico e artistico. Eccezionali il corpo di ballo e i solisti. Top

Nagyszerű balettmüvészek. Gratulálok! Üdvözlö tisztelettel és köszönettel, György Tibrea. Sok-sok sikert kívánok a továbbiakban!
Great !
I always cry with this 😢
Thank you so much 😭
Brava Nina!

Beautiful.
What a shame/ it can't be in professional theatre/
Овчаренко очень хорош и похож на Цискаридзе
Whose choreography is it?
Thank you in advance.
Can someone explain to me why do some ballets have the adagio version of the black swan solo and others have the allegro?
😊4/1---오전수업꺼 오전12:00😊토요일꺼💙
A low cost and shorter version of Swan Lake, no match with standard Russian full version show.
I felt like the costumes for this one were the best out of all the Swan Lakes I watched. Maybe the show is shorter, but nothing felt substandard. Stage design was beautiful too.
Where can I buy this DVD?
I'm not sure it is on DVD, unfortunately many ballet companies like Bolshoi don't release many of their cinema broadcasts on DVD, and the videos exist as illegal copies...
Artem Ovcharenko ist ein hervorragender und in Russland/Moskau preis-dekorierter Erster Solo-Tänzer - aber hier kann er nichts retten...

The music from Tchaikovsky has been rearranged (or even rescored) badly! 😒

Macedonian national theatre in Skopje.
Кордебалет - позорище! Так развалить театр!
Это не Большой😂. Это Македонский оперный театр в Скопье.
Strange storyline.
Фуэте не очень! Мотало по сцене, штормило!
Damn... This is not the real... You to see the Bolshoi version...
