Светлана - Да!. Вы - предел Совершенства ! Это просто удивительно ! В каждом танце, в каждой роли Вы , даже во время репетиции, Вы так аккуратно и точно выполняете все "па", все элементы, все движения. Так замечательно красиво , я бы сказала, с таким уважением к самому Балетному Искусству, Вы так предельно трепетно и с большой любовью " рисуете " танец, как будто бы боитесь обидеть сам БАЛЕТ. Огромное спасибо Вам, дорогая , за Вашу любовь к этому прекрасному искусству ! БОГ дал Вам талант !
She is not only a great ballerina but a sensitive artist. When she speaks about her little daughter, her feelings as a woman and her live as an international star... is just great! She is one of the most complete artist and persons I know! Fantastico!
You know what this woman is a perfect Prima,regardless of all the jabs and critics she is the best in the world and you'll never see another like her...
It gives a pleasure when you go along the stage and children which take part in the performance -no matter what country it is-are like “Zakharova goes!’’. It just gives me pleasure, no more.
Part 4(before the Bayadere scene).If there are no big moves during tours, we move with our-nowadays-big family and it was such a bliss when I appeared in “La Bayadere’’ in Teatro dell’Opera di Roma for the first time after the maternity leave and saw my daughter sitting in the box above the orchestra pit and watching the rehears and then after it( after the rehears) all the corps de ballet flourished their arms about her and she smiled-this is bliss, unspeakable bliss!
Absolutely. She gets better with age as most ballerinas do, I hope she keeps dancing for the next 50 or so years. She has the inspiration of Maya and Galina, both of whom she said she admires. It is with tradition and continuous learning we all improve.
I got accustomed to be on tour very often and it happens very often that I arrive in several days to the performance to some theatre, meet a new partner: «Hello!»( Svetlana gestures at 01:13) and we begin our rehearsals. David is exactly the kind of a partner with whom you can rehears everything quickly and appear on the stage - he doesn’t need explanations like: “Put me on my leg! Reach your body frontwards!”
Absolutely, Mary. Svetlana is not too thin or anorexic. She is a finely tuned athlete, and needs to be in shape to do the perfect dancing she does. You take care! :)
Живу в Милане,посещаю концерты в Ла Скала,не видела спектакли с участием С.Захаровой,но очень горжусь своей землячкой! BRAVA Светлана! Вы очень пластичная,хрупкая и нежная.Такой талант нужно дарить людям!Балет и только балет!
For the first time I went round around the theater because I was afraid to come aand see smth awful, smth different. But when I first came to the rehears and I saw the auditorium, I took a look around the stage and understood that it was marvelous! It was the premiere of “Sleeping Beauty” and it was that feeling of bliss, true bliss-this first entrée when Aurora runs out and there is a huge scene around you, which is very comfortable to dance on, the auditorium-it was spectacular!
If to give a summary,she says that it's a great feeling-to be a mother and that she reconsidered her views on oeuvre and she longed for the scene.Now she wants to dedicate herself to the art.But it's very-very briefly. I'll try to translate it after my exams,if you still want it.
Even if I am on tour like a star, I’m always asking a teacher to be with me because it’s very important to have an outside point of view when the person tells you everything inspite of you being a star and having all the world at your feet-you can show it only on the stage and nowhere else. It gives pleasure when you arrive at some theatre and everybody like” Look! This is Zakharova!”.
About Giselle: It happens very often that there is certain period left and I review the ballets I dance ,especially it was with Giselle, because it was the first ballet I’ve danced being a young 17 year old girl and probably this is the reason why this ballet has been in my repertoire for so long.
In her free time she's very good at diesel mechanics on big rigs. This is her real avocation that she will focus on when she's out of the dancing thing.
but there are different level conversations-it was life school for me and I’m very glad I’ve been through this. I understood that the profession of ballet dancer is one of the most difficult professions. I’ve longed for the stage and rehearsal rooms and the feeling, the smell, the condition of tiredness after rehearsals and performances-I want this condition to be with me as long as possible.
It has already been so far away from me-all the bickerfests and so on but now I want to come to the theater and to work to the utmost, to enter on the scene and to make audience enjoy my dancing.
to iinasddd. svetlana zaharova tels about her little daughter, shi is sitting in the theatre,when her mother performs,evrybody waves her,and for her mother that is the happiest time.phila 04/25.13
I’ve danced Giselle for many times in many theatres all over the world and in “La Scala”, with different partners who gave me new impulses, in different redactions, from which I took smth for myself, so I’ve always changed my point of view.
When it comes to the last “Swan Lake”, sometimes you set a mission-what you want to show in this ballet, what you want to get across to the spectator. Somebody enters on the scene with the aim to blow everybody away, to make the spectators fall over their seats! Somebody enters to show the character like: “ I may get technique mistakes, but I can use smth else”( smth hidden inside). I set a mission to live these 2 roles, 2 different conditions on the stage.
I feel myself in the first place like the ballerina of the Bolshoi theatre though at the same time I’m a ballerina of “La Scala” theatre(officially!), but after all I feel myself as Russian ballerina. West school unfluenced on me a lot,you know, I’m like a constant student, who is always in search of smth new and I’m not ashamed of asking smth and don’t take offence when I get remarks. It’s like a life credo for me.
In the 1 act I wanted to show all the fragility and nakedness of the modern world. I had no certain role, it was like character of stem-brokenness and heartsore and a character which asks for protection. It’s always easier to dance Odillia-no matter how you feel and what redaction you dance-you just appear and are victorious-it characterizes all the women which have a strong character. And it’s always easier to perform the evil than the good and nakedness.
I hate when you say dancers are anorexic.. truth is, we eat A LOT. we need to eat a lot. hours of training a day, you need to. But dancing burns massive amounts of calories.. i burn of everything i eat..!
First part( before the ''Swan Lake" scene):Svetlana: Svetlana: A great event has happened in my life-my daughter’s birth. It’s probably incomparable feeling-when this little being appears-probably the most near and dear that ever could be! And there is a big event in my creative life-I have a new partner and it’s new blowing, new feelings, new emotions.
Part 5 (before Spartak): Certainly I want my future to be connected with art-all I’ve been wishing since I was 10-that is I know and understand like nothing else. The experience of working at the State Duma, certainly, has taught me smth,because it’s another life, another profession, meetings with civil servants on another level-not on the level like: “Come to my performance! I’ll be glad to see you!”- “Oh,you’ve been! Thank you so much! Did you enjoy it?”-
Exactly a prima ballerina like her is as fit as any olympic athlete,so you could say that she is a walking fat burner (Like Michael Phelps who eats HUGE meals but he stays lean) There is no way she could keep with those trainings and performances if she had some kind of eating disorder.
I believe this was around the time she had her baby, and because of that she had to take maternity leave. She could of lost some muscle mass and therefore looks more thin, but she might just need to regain some of her former musculature. :)
My russian isn't just as good but does what she says in the begining that one important event took place in her life and that apart from having a baby is meeting a new partner David Hallberg, so does that mean that she no longer will dance as a principal in the La Scalla and partner with Roberto Bolle? I personally believe they were and hopefully still are, an amazingly well matched dancing couple.
And there is a lot of people that says she is anorexic... She is very thin indeed, but not anorexic; it is her body type and she has been this thin all her lifetime
Part 2 (before the Odillia scene): The baby’s birth changes a person, a woman a lot. You have a different look on things, you feel differently. When it comes to profession it’s important that you rehears and enter on the scene-and everything else makes no difference.
Thinner means lighter for the male dancers to lift her. Is she still dancing and how old is she? She is the finest Prima Ballerina Assolouta in the world!!
i think she is naturally skinny i mean she has small frame. She can't be anorexic because last year she had a baby and an anorexic woman can't be pregnant. I know this might sound impossible but some people eat tons of food and they are scary skinny.
Some Ballerina's nowadays are much to thin, makes one wonder what their eating regime is They do not really have to worry about their weight, all the excercise they do, burns any excess fat off naturally.
She has always been thin, but I did notice that her upper body had lost the muscle tone it once had but I have no doubt that it will return. She did have a baby and is now back on stage from maternity leave. It all takes time. One thing she has never lost is her personality and sense of self, I feel especially now she has become much more comfortable in interviews and shows her down to earth nature more.
Захарова для меня не идеал. Нет в ней той школы советской. Да хорошо но не более. Последняя из советских балерин-это Надежда Павлова. Вот где красота. Как она танцевала Жизель, больше никто так не танцует Наша школа была самой, самой, а теперь глядя на Захарову-всего понемногу. Да, хорошая балерина, но не прима
She is widely regarded as the greatest prima ballerina in the world...enough said
Prima Ballerina Absoluta. The best!
I love this woman, she is the perfect ballerina ♥

Thanks a lot. I dont understand one single word but I love love love her > She is my blessed one.
I watched this whole thing even thought I don't speak a word of Russian. She is brilliant!
i dont understand a word of what she is saying, but just hearing her voice is enough for me.. :)

I saw her live in February 2012 and met her at the stage door, she looked perfectly healthy.
i saw svetlana in belgrade in sava centar,she is very good dancer.i love her
She is perfection!! Светлана, мы тебя любим!
Anybody out there who knows Russian and English and can translate for us? It would be a great gift!
Absolutely. She gets better with age as most ballerinas do, I hope she keeps dancing for the next 50 or so years. She has the inspiration of Maya and Galina, both of whom she said she admires. It is with tradition and continuous learning we all improve.

shes literally one of the most beautiful woman i have ever seen, i love her
Fascinating
Not only the best in the world,but she is absolutely stunning!

Very wonderful ballet video!!!!!*****
Thank you!
Quante volte AMORE mi hai risollevato....quante ancora mi risolleverai...SPACIBA! BOSCH!
The music is from the ballet Swan Lake. Here is a video which shows the scene.

Tutte le volte che mi perdo TU sei l'orizzonte che mi raccoglie!
Linda!! Maravilhosa!! Um anjo vindo do Céu para nos encantar com sua dança!!
Parabéns Svetlana!

Светлана, Вы - предел Совершенства !!!
Лучше танцевать уже невозможно !
Просто невозможно !
Берегите себя.

In her free time she's very good at diesel mechanics on big rigs. This is her real avocation that she will focus on when she's out of the dancing thing.
If I only knew what she was saying, I'm sure her interview was great....
Now this feeling grows in me-I just want to perform, create and work only around art, to think only about it.
but there are different level conversations-it was life school for me and I’m very glad I’ve been through this. I understood that the profession of ballet dancer is one of the most difficult professions. I’ve longed for the stage and rehearsal rooms and the feeling, the smell, the condition of tiredness after rehearsals and performances-I want this condition to be with me as long as possible.
amazing :)
It’s enough to tell him one time and he’ll have done everything right-for honest it was big revelation for me.
It has already been so far away from me-all the bickerfests and so on but now I want to come to the theater and to work to the utmost, to enter on the scene and to make audience enjoy my dancing.

if only i could understand what she is saying...
Thanks so much for posting this! She is my favorite dancer ever (and cute/sexy too!!) :-> I wish there were subtitles...
I can't wait,but I have alot of patience...

She's getting thinner and thinner... Though she is one of the best ballerinas in the world..
Whats the music called at 2.15? I think, its Dornroeschen, but can you help out here in detail? Thank you!

Hey Oneil, you can do Russian right？can you get the transcript? I will do the rest.
Desafortunadamente nadie es eterno
La amo
HOUOUOUOUOUOUOUOUOU!!!
Non capisco una sola parola,ma è sempre un immenso piacere guardarla ^-^
Exactly a prima ballerina like her is as fit as any olympic athlete,so you could say that she is a walking fat burner (Like Michael Phelps who eats HUGE meals but he stays lean) There is no way she could keep with those trainings and performances if she had some kind of eating disorder.
IM AGREE!!! Is alot of exercise... :D
Please, do you have translation to English?
He's wearing a Boston ballet tee? OH my..
I believe this was around the time she had her baby, and because of that she had to take maternity leave. She could of lost some muscle mass and therefore looks more thin, but she might just need to regain some of her former musculature. :)
Penso,,,penso a quando ti vedrò!
What's the ballet on minute 7?
My russian isn't just as good but does what she says in the begining that one important event took place in her life and that apart from having a baby is meeting a new partner David Hallberg, so does that mean that she no longer will dance as a principal in the La Scalla and partner with Roberto Bolle? I personally believe they were and hopefully still are, an amazingly well matched dancing couple.
she was saying that David was one of her dance partners - and one of the best!
why doesn't the USA interview their ballerinas more? it's really too bad that we dont...
Let me see what I can do,but can't you sub it from video?
She's fuckin amazing!
Oh my god what is she wearing at 7:02?
And there is a lot of people that says she is anorexic... She is very thin indeed, but not anorexic; it is her body type and she has been this thin all her lifetime
I know come on already!
Part 2 (before the Odillia scene): The baby’s birth changes a person, a woman a lot. You have a different look on things, you feel differently. When it comes to profession it’s important that you rehears and enter on the scene-and everything else makes no difference.
That's all. Sorry for grammar mistakes and uncapability of doing the subtitles. When I get the proper program, I'll do, Promise.
Thinner means lighter for the male dancers to lift her. Is she still dancing and how old is she? She is the finest Prima Ballerina Assolouta in the world!!

never saw the Swan Lake in 9:30,10:21,10:35
¿Que Dijooooooooo??
Where does Alison Epsom dance? Yes, you Russians are awesome dancers, as are many Ukrainians like Zakharova.
Her proportion of her body are IDEAL .
This is a dream only, and happen with Zakharova !!!
Some Ballerina's nowadays are much to thin, makes one wonder what their eating regime is They do not really have to worry about their weight, all the excercise they do, burns any excess fat off naturally.
