Have to disagree with you about Zakharova as Kitri. IMO she's horrible in the role (at least, in the non-white acts). She's imitating others as Kitri and failing and just looks gawky and awkward. Zakharova is a better Giselle (in the second act) than Osipova but in just about everything else, Osipova is technically much better, a better actress and more musical than Zakharova.
So right - Osipova is perfect. Her jump and her elevation are awesome and she really inhabits the character! I've only seen Zakharova's Kitri here on youube, but she's pallid by comparison. The act I allegro just looks flattened to me. .
And you don’t think I know that? Listen, every dancer is beautiful in their own way. I have been dancing for 9 years with a professional school. I want to be like her one day and dance at the Royal Ballet. I’m sending them a letter asking what I can do to “get out there”...bye! You don’t need to come for me and be rude. It doesn’t hurt me. I don’t care who you like and dislike. I was just sharing my opinion.
Stop it. You’re like 2. Also you have been reported. Just back off. You’ll see. Remember my name. I will be dancing in the Royal Ballet before your eyes.
I'm seeing some comments referring to poise and grace. But let's think about Kitri's character. Ballet isn't just dancing. This is a story, and Natalia got so in character that we believed she was Kitri, not a ballet dancer in a show. At least, that's the way I see it. Natalia isn't just a dancer, she's an actor, and I think that's half the performance.
Six years later and STILL Osipova is the definitive Kirti! The verve, energy, timing and spirit steals my heart more the the finest technicians. She is pure love!!!
From 1995 to 2004 she trained at the Moscow State Academy of Choreography and on graduating entered the corps of the Bolshoi Ballet, where she was promoted to principal in 2010. Idiot, she is a principal. Learn you facts! She was and moved to a different just as good company! This comment of yours: _ if you think thats the case then she would have been promoted to principal._* ** copied and pasted*** She was promoted with both Bolshoi and Royal ballet. Is stupid as she was promoted. Nice try XD. No harm no foul it's ok, just don't hate on a prima XD. www.roh.org.uk/people/natalia-osipova
if you think thats the case then she would have been promoted to principal. bolshoi conductor/orchestra don't adjust for anyone any dancers, that's always been their standard.
Best Kitri I have ever seen! Character, personality, and no one is denying the fire inside of her. She was truly magnificent to watch, she can pirouette like no ones business.
She never ceases to amaze me every time I watch this. She has so much fire and personality that I think made her just perfect for this role. I get chills watching her perform. Bravo!
She is perfect!!!!! No one is as good as her. She has emotion and perfect tehnique. And she isn"t just dancing on stage as natalia osipova doing the role of kitri, she is kitri on stage. Omggg she is sooo goood!!
She is my favorite kitri. She's my favorite dancer, actually. Just watching her makes me excited, and you can really see how much fun she is having when she dances. This video should be the ultimate "try not to smile" test :).
Ballet is storytelling set to music - this is how Kitri is danced. Full of energy and passion and flare. To be danced otherwise, the character would be someone else. Ms Osipova is beyond amazing here.
Not only do I love how my energy and fluidity she brings to her dancing, I also love the little things she does in her performance, such as that expression of joy at the end of the variation (the smile and foot flick) and ESPECIALLY the kiss she blows to the guy before she starts her pirouettes. Lovely, lovely performance. :)
It wonderful to see a dancer looking as if they are enjoying the role they are performing. She looks like she is relishing every step of it. That is acting and dancing in perfect unison! And the fastest I have seen that variation ever performed!!! Wonderful.
this variation just looks amazing and natural on her... everything just looks like she was meant to dance it!!! while others struggle with the movements, everything is just perfect on her!
She flies ! BEST KITRI EVER ! Her jumps are perfect... she dances like a butterfly I adore her. She's the best on allegros. She has the best jumps ever. Her movements and steps are very fast !!!
Osipova is the perfect Kitri... she dances the character like a crazy, out-of-control teenager, which is exactly who Kitri is. Love her in this.
zakharova is better imo. yes, she is less powerful, but a lot more allagent and talented, therefore more enjoyable.
Zakharova is a robot imo. Dull in her technical perfection.

I prefer Plisetskaya :)
She isn’t just playing the role of kitri, when she is on stage she is kitri
Osipova!!
I can like dancers I want to like lets be honest, NATALIA is goals her whole life is ballet, I took a class with her
And you don’t think I know that? Listen, every dancer is beautiful in their own way. I have been dancing for 9 years with a professional school.

Then she fell in love with ballet. Clearly you know NOTHING.

Completely agree! I'm not very fond of a poised Kitri performance. To me it takes away from her lively, feisty character.
Avioke I agree 100%!
Indeed!!!
what you see is everything that's ruining ballet.
ur gay

and she's not a bolshoi principal. HAHAHA

she's going faster than the music on pirouettes! so the orchestra has to adjust !! omg shivers
if you think thats the case then she would have been promoted to principal. bolshoi conductor/orchestra don't adjust for anyone any dancers, that's always been their standard.
ikr that's the original variation there's no adjustments
no she isn't lol
@@jigalipio just say you hate her and leave lmao we get it
Могу смотреть Осипову без конца, заряжаясь её энергией, наслаждаясь точностью рисунка, её актёрским мастерством. Для меня она с отрывом лучшая.
she is my fave kitri.... you can sense the excitement rushing through her body.. SO powerful!!!!!!!!!!!
Наташа прекрасна! Браво👏👏👏 сколько страсти, задора! Она не только прекрасная балерина, но и замечательная актриса! Браво, браво, браво 👏👏👏👏
Этот танец можно смотреть вечно! Она танцует, преодолевая законы физики и физиологии! Просто, мир фантастики!!!
Best Kitri I have ever seen! Character, personality, and no one is denying the fire inside of her. She was truly magnificent to watch, she can pirouette like no ones business.
There's also Plisetskaya
Осипова это нечто особенное, какое-то уникальное явление природы и труда, фантастическая балерина.
This is simply... Perfect. I won't be able to love another version after seing this one.
Same here!
Сегодня насладилась шедевральной Наташей на всю катушку!!!!
Великолепно.
Сколько позитива,
Какая лёгкость
Браво
She never ceases to amaze me every time I watch this. She has so much fire and personality that I think made her just perfect for this role. I get chills watching her perform. Bravo!
+Erin Kristova ...brava! :D
I can't choose who the best Kitri is between Osipova and Nunez. I guess I just love them both!
same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, they are the best
osipova!!!
Nuñez def brings out the spanish energy
Check out Renata Shakirova in this role too, you might like it 😉
She is perfect!!!!! No one is as good as her. She has emotion and perfect tehnique. And she isn"t just dancing on stage as natalia osipova doing the role of kitri, she is kitri on stage. Omggg she is sooo goood!!
Red Bull Osipova.
Helena Devin She flies because of Red Bull!!!!
Высочайший профессионализм! Смотреть на это - истинное наслаждение!
спасибо русскому балету! Не угасают и появляются новые звезды!Браво, Наталья!
I love how she started the pirouettes late but then she caught up to the music and actually was dancing faster than the music at the end.
That's the way this variation is done. Period. Bravissimo.
Amazing!!😀 Osipova is the best Kitri!! She's so fast on those pirouettes and never seize to amaze me on her extentions and speed!!😊😁
Pauline IV do
Посмотри как это делает Плисецкая... и ты все поймешь.
@@swampfolk2526 Maya Plisetskaya is a legend and my inspiration the embodiment of the Bolshoi style that Natalia also has!!🥰
She is my favorite kitri. She's my favorite dancer, actually. Just watching her makes me excited, and you can really see how much fun she is having when she dances. This video should be the ultimate "try not to smile" test :).
Squidney Gamble I totally agree with you! (:
Squidney Gamble You mean "challenge"
Ballet is storytelling set to music - this is how Kitri is danced. Full of energy and passion and flare. To be danced otherwise, the character would be someone else. Ms Osipova is beyond amazing here.
I just can't get bored watching this performance again and again and again. wonderful.

Juste splendide, une technique de saut incroyable, des piqués en tournant magnifiques, des jetés incomparables, bref, la PERFECTION !!!!
I love her interpretation and this variation is my favorite one. My heart goes faster every time I watch this♥
Not only do I love how my energy and fluidity she brings to her dancing, I also love the little things she does in her performance, such as that expression of joy at the end of the variation (the smile and foot flick) and ESPECIALLY the kiss she blows to the guy before she starts her pirouettes.

I had the great pleasure of seeing her as Kitri two nights ago. At the Bolshoi, the New Stage. With V. Lopatin, an admirable Basil. A joy to behold.
