Watching Osipova I could feel her pain , her grief and during the basket scene, it was like someone trying to smile through the tears of a heartbreak. Both Zacharova and Nunez and superb , but for me it is Osipova with her incredibly powerful and moving character interpretation.
Watched three times. Cried three times. You can compare, but you cannot say one is better than the other.
Totally agree ❤️
I love Zakharova in this kind of role that is so well suited to her elegance and slight reserve. And she is a wonderfully skilled dancer (plus Lantratov and Alexandrova!). But all three are outstanding, of course.
Osipova danced with Alexandrova and Lantratov too)))))
@@GinaGreathouse ballet coppelia.
Zakharova is THE weakest ballerina IN this role. She doesn't use her legs for an expresssiveness. No complex elements of dance are used. It's a weak point of russian modern ballet dancers. Marianela Nunes is THE BEST ONE in this case.Osipova is very expressive either.
@@user-ei6rk4vy1u ok i agree with you but everyone has their own opinion and taste (art is viewed subjectively). There is no wrong choice here
I love them also.
Must we compare such beautiful, incredible, grace and artistry? For me, each one has lends her own unique genius to the role.
Totally agree. Interesting though to see Osipova in one role and then on stage with Nunez in the other role and you are right she would have made that her own also.
Very well said . All outstanding snd I think we all have our own preferences. Totally astounded myself in another video - La Fills ( never one of my favourite ballets anyway) but I chose someone else over Osipova! Big shock to my system 🤣🤣🤣 but one must be fair. They’re all beautiful in this as you say 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you. I watch these comparisons for the pleasure of seeing extraordinary artists at the height of their careers…I understand comparison fir learning purposes but at this level to compare for whose the best seems silly.
I love head to-head-ballet performances and I appreciate those who put them together for us. For me, the point is not to compare quality but to see the differences in styles in one place. I never bother to ask myself which dancer is “the best”. That would be like choosing my favorite child. Impossible.
All three brilliant dancers but Zakharova has something extra, the carriage of the head, the super graceful arms and her incredible line, steel wrapped in silk, superb !
She carries herself like she is 7 feet tall. She is so perfectly stretched out
Every inch of perfection with regal carriage and confidence. Exquisite!
All that is true but I didn't get the sense that her heart is breaking with despair, being forced to dance at the betrothal of Solor and Gamzatti. I did get that with Natalia. I just need to look at her face once, never mind her breathtaking expression and the pathos of her dancing, to feel all that grief. That's what I want from an artist, personally.
seeing Natalia dance gives me immense emotion, her magnificent interpretation accompanied by a sublime technique and an impressive dynamism make her unique
All are beautiful but Osipova literally EMBODIES the role. Every single movement is felt from the heart and runs through her body as she dances and it is captivating to me. I truly believe she IS the character she portrays.
If you MUST compare and declare who's the winner I disagree with you.
She was too perky all of the time and not much waves of quiet anger and sorrow compare to the other 2. They are all fine just leave it at that. OK ?
@@mikiohirata9627 Ok, that's your opinion no worries. We are all allowed opinions and to express them. I just so happen to prefer Osipova's "perky" version, however I don't see how she was perky. She was acting the part, I saw sorrow, anguish and pain. Again, my opinion...no need to get so uppity about my comment.
@@LOVxxE Stop your crying, you're the one being uppity!
@@francisheperi1127 Ok :)

№1 - Osipova - 23
No. 2 - Zakharova -15
No. 3 - Nunez - 12
So much for OK. ☝😜
Zakharova is Magical,Osipova is gourgeous and Nunes special! ALL these artists from ballet até great 🌹
Osipova isn’t Osipova in this scene bc she literally incorporates Nikiya! 😍
Natalia was at that time quite young. I've seen the same scene, where her dance was so mature and excel, that in my mind uncompetable!
I particularly enjoyed the performance of Osipova. Her expression.. her arms.. her graceful head tilts and fluid movements. Lovely.
Osipova! In addition to gorgeous technique and amplitude, she has incredible artistry.
She is always a very good actress on top of her incredible technique ! in the part of the flowers basket around 11:37 the orchestra is playing so quickly, I had to check the parameters of my video to be sure it was not speeding a little ! Very difficult to follow the pace, she did it of course !
Not understanding "amplitude." Can you explain? Did you mean the height on her jumps?
@@tarantellalarouge7632 Honestly, I've always thought she made a great soubrette (like Lise in Fille) but is just recently coming into her own for the more tragic roles like Nikiya.
@@minissa2009 in French "amplitude" means the height and also the length of the jumps
She's just supreme perfection, her interpretation brings me to to tears, as always.
Natalia Osipova, such a perfect artist. I used to like ballet but she made me LOVE it. She always makes me feel like I'm seeing rhe character, and not her anymore. I love her so much 💕
My second pick here is Svetlana! She was made for ballet, so graceful, such perfect long lines and musicality ♡
Божественная Осипова!!! Восхищение и любовь💖
Svetlana is my favorite !!
Nuñez as Nikiya, Osipova as Gamzatti, and Muntagirov as Solor is just *chef’s kiss*
I prefer the opposite (Nuñez is one of my favorite Gamzattis and Osipova is one of my favorite Nikiyas)! 😍
This combo made La Bayadère my favourite ballet :')
@@eduardasartorio8932 Natalia is not just a ballerina, she is an actress! She is extremely expressive, full of energy, and goes well with villains or complex characters. Marianela is extremely graceful, light and delicate, and fits well with roles such as princesses, peasants and fairies. For example, I don't like Marianela's black swan very much, as she seems very controlled. Osipova made a magnificent and deliciously devilish and seductive black swan. But Osipova's Odette didn't turn out very well, as Natalia added many traits of her black swan to her white swan. Marianela's Odette was perfect, tragic and melancholy with grace.
I wish Osipova could dance every role. Even Solor's :D
Oh man i loved to see nunez and osipova acting together in that royal ballet production they are both so good and so different from each other
I find Osipova most fascinating to watch... great facial expressions and amazing power & skill but to me she always seems just a touch out of time with the music in the faster sections... almost as if she has the soundtrack in her head rather than listening to the orchestra - I know it is also their job to match the dancer to some degree but even so....
We all have our favorites and we all have our biases. I am definitely for Nunez. She is for me is the most consistent and reliable ballet dancer out there. The Royal Ballet can't afford to lose her.
👏👏👏👏👏
I completely agree with you
"the most consistent and reliable ballet dancer out there?" Both Osipova and Zakharova have perfect technique in a very wide range of roles and Osipova has so much emotions conveyed in her dance, so she would be the most overall perfection of a dancer. Nunez has the simplest choreography of the three. :)
@@natastudyN, with all my respect, I think your comment lacks support. Russians love circus and that's why a former gymnast (Osipova) and a dancer who dances with the stretch (Zakharova) are stars. Imagine both as Carmen...
Neither of them controls the turns: one for a lot as a spinning top (piroutte is technique, very different) and the other for a little.
Your mistake, it seems, is to belive that it is easy when, actually, Marianela makes it look easy 😊.
On the other hand, Núñez has a broader artistic repertoire, you can study if you don't know or belive me.
@@paulagiliberto7386 I have the feeling there are too many ballet-teachers expressing their opinions: ballet is not just moving perfectly to the music, but the highest level of arts which starts with the character analysis, the space expression, the presence, followed by the pantomime and the perfect lines are only one single element of the art. To see in Osipova ONLY the the "lines" and calling all the rest as circus level shows me that your understanding of the ballet art stopped at the ballet bar level. I never saw in Nunez any character analyses, only, yes perfect arm-swings in the "lake of swans", but nothing more.
Zakharova just kills it in this one
Magistral interpretación de Marianela Núñez !!!! Maravillosa !!!!
Verdade , os Argentinos estão muito bem representados por está linda bailarina.
osipova is my all time favorite nikiya. there is no comparison. the emotion, the technique, the heart. it is like her soul is on stage every time she dances. i think that is why she is so wonderful to watch--for some minutes, you forget all worries and corruption and see this beautiful almost-divine art from.
Whatever.
Osipova the greatest of all time
редкий случай, когда сравнивать нельзя! Каждая прекрасна по-своему.
Okay they were ALL great performances but Osipova's performance made me feel things. Her whole body was WAILING in pain and anguish. She was so distraught she could hardly control herself. It made me tear up! It was the perfect set up for the desperate joy that came over her when she received the flowers, holding on to the belief that she was still the one Solor loved. And the way the whole cast turned its back on her, turning a blind eye on her suffering while she lay dying was just... CHEF'S KISS! It was such a moving performance.
Осипова--- восторг!!! техниная, гибкая, нежная, хорошо сложена ( на швабра з), пластична!!
I love a lot Marianela´s performance, her smile is plenty of joy and grace! perfect in this role.
1 выступление - это шедевр,от которого невозможно оторваться. Кроме исполнения,сама хореография гениальна. Спасибо,что есть запись,которая сохранила это. Я бы купила целую
They are all fantastic in their own way. But, I could watch Marianela bouree all day.
That amazing moment with the roses basket is full of passion, pain of love and rage, perfect interpretation, brava Natalia, your broken heart is forever full of LIGHT,💔🥀🥀🥀
It's kinda apples and oranges. Osipova's strong, rich performance is flawless both technically and artistically, but I also enjoy very much Nunez's soft elegance.
Gorgeous performances, but Natalia Osipova is the epitome of a Star Ballerina! ICONIC!
У Осиповой самый выразительный танец с корзиной. Умеет она классику преподнести.
Светлана с характером, как всегда😃
Нюнез очень артистична.
Все хороши.
I’m gettting querious about full story!!!so beautiful!!!
Восхищение и любовь bravo Zakharova
Three magnificent versions from three superb, unique, extraordinary ballet artists... .....
Zakharova has this eteral ligthness and softness and give us so much emotions. Ospiva litteraly became Nikya, her very personnal interpretation and her energy are everything you need. And Nunez also has an amazing interpretation and her musicality is the best ever (+special mention for the Royal Ballet orchestra that made that music even more fabulous 😍)
The 3 are STUNNING in their own way !!!
There’s something about reserved precision that contributes a lot to this role. Stunning lines & stature, immaculate jumps combined with royal reserve and frustration really does it for me. I absolutely loved Zakharova for this role. But 14:53 from Nuñez was beautiful too.
All three are beautiful interpretations. I love the grace, the elegance of Nunez and Zahkarova. They move so exquisitely. I wish Osipova wasn't always so fast, she loses so much.
None can compete with Altynai Zarmutova period.
Захарова -- потрясающая танцовщица, как она " танцует" роль, очень выразительная , одно удовольствие смотреть. Танцует ... И "рассказывает " . Обожаю Захарову, Браво!!
Осипова - лучшая!!!
Zakharova and great interpretation Marianela .But all three are Fantastic . Love them ALL..
Lindas apresentaçoes!As tres bailarinas sao maravilhosas!
Захарова самая лучшая 👍👍💐💐
Осипова , балерина высший класс , все через себя и как легка

Marianela: perfect Nikiya. Natalia: perfect Gamzatti
Osipova, like many Russian dancers, shows the gymnast that she used to be. Why are are feet and ankle so strange? Zakharova and Nunez are simply spell binding.
@@sallygardiner7150 Her feet and ankles are incredibly strong, that's what shows.
Natalia Osipova, she is perfect !!!
Осипова - легка необыкновенна!!!
Захарова божественна,какие руки!Это просто фантастика
Zakharova/Apollo, Osipova/Dionysus, Nunez/Zen Buddha I thank you Aunt Ida for taking me to see ballet 66 years ago. And thanks to UA-cam for everything, literally everything.
댓글을 안 달 수가 없네... 일단 자하로바가 압권인 게 무대 장치, 스케일, 뒷쪽 무희들 포지션...기타 등등 다른 편 발레에서는 볼 수 없는 디테일함과 두말하면 잔소리인 자하로바의 춤과 드라마틱한 연기까지 흠 잡을게 없다. 넘사벽 자하로바♡♡
Oh my God every time I watch Osipova I’m amazed
Ese ballet es como si fuera hecho específicamente para Zakharova, sus líneas son hermosísimas!
Tutte Bravissime, Magnifiche ma Svetlana per me é Sublime
Come darti torto 🥰
Si, sublime, ma la Osipova riesce unire e trasmettere vita e morte nei sui eccessi!
@@istvantoth5466 Vita e Vita. Io vedo tanta Vita. Ed é per questo che La amo. Amo Natalia. Amo Svetlana. L'Unicità Le rende incomparabili. Pero' Svetlana ha un Animalità di una Naturalezza ed Eleganza estreme.
@@francescavolchitzamarta5500 Ed io sono anche d'accordo sulla particolare eleganza di Svetlana e sicuramente la Osipova è diversa in questo. Ma se guardiamo le particolare trasformazioni che il ruolo di Giselle richiede, la Osipova centra per 1000%. L'anima vulnerabile della innocenza al inizio richiede una diversa capacità di trasmettere che il dolore della delusione dal tradimento. Ogni volta che vedo la scena con la Osipova, nel cuore, mi pento di ogni delusione che per stupidita io ho creato in vita mia a qualche ragazza, perché sento cosi fortemente il dolore di Giselle.
@@istvantoth5466 per me tutte le Arti e gli Artisti hanno come missione di RISVEGLIARE lo spettatore/fruitore a delle parti di sé (conscie o incoscie). Natalia ha questa Magia su di lei, con Giselle... ha fatto da specchio al suo passato. Ha messo in luce qualcosa che non avrebbe altrimenti visto. Adoro Natalia. Ho molte "Adorate" fra le danzatrici. Ognuna é Unica ed ognuna rivela qualcosa di Profondo, Originale, Unico di Sé, del personaggio, Toccando, Inspirando, Risvegliando il Mio Cuore e la Mia Coscienza secondo la disposizione della mia Anima in quel momento. Non dobbiamo convincere nessuno. L'importante é Ammirare e Riconoscere quel che Ci Tocca, che Ci fa vibrare e ritrovare cosi' alcune parti di Noi. Sono artista anche io e credo che l'Essenziale delle Arti sia proprio il risveglio dell'Essenza (Dell'Anima e della forza Vitale) nelle persone capaci di Aprirsi alla Purezza della Creazione.
Natalia estás bailando la oración de Nikiya pidiendo justicia antes de la inesperada muerte, bailas como la llamarada de un fuego enrojecido. BRAVA
Браво, Осипова! В любой партии шикарна.
Захарова - СОВЕРШЕНСТВО - ЭТАЛОН❗Даже сравнивать смешно !!!
@@MiMOZA775 Осипова пластична женственна а Захарова мужеподобна ну швабра правда прекрасно танцуют обе
Zakharova is a good blend of technique and expression. For Osipova, her facial expressions never disappoint. For Nunez, she fully expresses the emotions in her movements while still showing anguish on her face. All are fantastic. Keep in mind that Osipova has wonderful expressions on her face, which makes her amazing to film. While seeing the other two would change the perspective that many people have here
Ottimo questo balletto che contempla il pathos come si conviene alla narratio ed una ottima commedialita ' attoriale.ECcellente la fibrillazione dei passi sulle punte in eundo veloce della ballerina e la levità fluente fatta tensione elanista e motile sorprendente in tutte le interpreti unita ad una sensibile capacità esecutiva d'acchito per tutte.Oltremodo bravi Tutti gli agenti in proscenio. BIGHIN GIULIO RENZO. 😊😊😊😊
Nela 👑. Perfect
Осипова бесподобна!
Все большие молодчинки:Осипова хороша ,а постановка спектакля,мне понравилась с Nunez.Браво!
Странное мнение.
Упрощённая быстрая часть.. совершенно не смотрится ни с Захаровой, ни с Осиповой тем более.
Zacharowa ma najwięcej gracji, elegancji. Mnie podobała się najbardziej.
Três maravilhosas, mas Esvetlana é rainha .
It's a shame that she's such a terrible person especially in her attitude towards Ukraine.
@@catterinax first dive deeper into a conflict, then make any conclusions
@@yuliyarue1804 I know more than you assume that I do.
@@catterinax anyone who thinks Ukraine isn't the largest money laundering operation for the United States in the world is ignorant to the situation going on.

А какая великолепная Гамзатти из Марии! Александрова - лучшая в этой партии, от одного взгляда мурашки... пошла искать с ней записи)))
AWESOME Osipova 👏👏👏
in this variantion zakharova's lines and technique shines
Zakharova is a statue, she has the better lines, precision and extension. But Osipova is an actress, she throws her character's emotion to the audience, every single movements is full of emotion, so her interpretation makes lighter her dance, all seems more natural from her.
Maybe Zakharova is the best product of russian's ballet in terms of body and lines (tall, skinny, ethereal), but Osipova reaches better the target of Art (face, gestures and energy)... the Osipova dance is warm, smooth, makes you relize how much emotions feel the character; her dance is the expression of human feelings.
There is something to saving the very best for last! You want to leave every performance with that happy way down deep feeling and Nela the belle of them all gives you that and much much more...always! You just can't follow her, better always to go first then watch perfection in motion and learn how it's supposed to be done!
Grandes bailarinas, pero lejos la más bella, talentosisima y carismática NATALIA OSIPOVA 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Zakharova is the best one for me. All three ladies are superb for the role.
This is my FAV ❣️
Marianela Núñez is sensational.
Incredible Natalia!!
Espectacular Gracias y bendiciones por compartir
Захарова... это Захарова! видела ее в Кармен - уникальная балерина👏👏👏👏👏👏
Первая часть за Захаровой. Но в Осиповой больше энергии что ли. Её танец это нечто. И ещё мне в Захаровой не нравится некая медлительность. Излишняя

Только мое мнение...
@@tigra-rx5sf я вообще не умоляю достоинства Захаровой. Просто она очень академичная, а Осипова более заводная и обзорная, её характер хорошо подходит для Китри.

Ninguna como Natalia Osipova, trasmite los sentimientos a la perfección.
Belle ...tutte! Grande spettacolo ❤
Sono tre splendide ETOILE!!!! Meravigliose, espressive e tecnica superlativa!!!
They are all beautiful and perfect, but Osipova made me cry, she just made it so sad and tragic!
Nunez edges out first, do to grace, smooth and expressive . But very close margin. All are terrific.
the first girl did amazing she showed so much emotions when she got bit by the snake and she was so graceful
Zakharova is extraordinarily elegant, Osipova is extraordinarily powerful, Nunez is the best of both.
Anna Ol (not shown here) is an excellent Nikiya as well.
Really interesting tweak (or else I've just been inattentive) that Magdayeva is handing the Brahmin the antidote before Nikiya ever receives the flower basket. So this collection scores for showing different elements of production as well as three glorious Nikiyas. I've always preferred Makarova's music and staging for the flower basket dance, although I know it's not in the original production or any production derived from it. There's something so tender about the way Nunez approaches the action there. And I love the absolutely murderous "You!" she flings at Osipova, who is also a great Gamzatti. Thanks for putting together this great compilation. Nunez's phrasing and musicality will always speak louder to me than Zakharova and Osipova, but they're all fabulous!
Excuse me, maybe Google translated badly? You wrote - "Makarova's music" ??))) But the music of Minkus!?) Explain !?
@@observer1111 Sorry, her production incorporated some music by John Lanchberry in the flower basket dance and in the last act, where she choreographed a knockout variation for Gamzatti and a pas de quatre with Gamzattie, Solor, Nikiya's shade, and the rajah. I could have phrased that better.
@@minissa2009 Oh, I never knew that! I know John Lanchberry had rearranged a lot of the original Minkus score for Bayadere (“to give it a more Delibes feeling,” he once was heard to say), but I didn’t know he had added his own original compositions for some of the variations Makarova choreographed.
I feel every one of these, dispair with unbreakable spirit and selfreliance in life, and death. And I can suggest to add Ulyana Lopatkina in this eminent line of great ballerina’s dancing La Badayere. Her musicallity and dramatic interpretation with an outstanding base in classical Russian Vaganova training would have complemented each of these great ballerina’s.
Thank you 😊
Так и есть! Лопаткина в роли Никии великолепна!
Великолепно! Браво!
Nunez, breathtaking. Nunez and Montegirov together; a match made in heaven.
I think out of the three I like Natalia's interpretation the best. The reason is that here is more dramatic rather than that of a damsel in need of rescue.
I love not just seeing the different ballerinas but also the different productions; I may be biased but I feel like the Royal Ballet production had more character to it; almost like the music was allowed to ebb and flow more with the character of Nikiya than in the other videos. I loved the acting not just of Marianela Nuñez in that clip, but also it seemed that Osipova and Muntagirov made the presence of Gamzatti and Solor more felt through their characterisations too.
Absolutely EXCELLENT very Nice Show .
