I'm attending the ballet "Giselle" with her starring next month; what should I expect? How good is she? I personally expect a very positive experience; is that correct?
From 2003 to 2009 she was something special. Now I really don't know. I believe she is SUPER like ALL Russian Dancers. I'm sure you will enjoy this one.
In case your are blocked, here are some excerpts..
In 2009, the Russian ballerina Natalia Osipova made an immediate sensation with her debut at American Ballet Theater, dancing the title role of "Giselle" with David Hallberg as her partner. The explosiveness of her jumps, the intensity of her acting, the keen focus with which she heightened the significance of Giselle's relationships with every other character all made powerful impressions.
Since then, her career has taken her elsewhere, chiefly as a principal of the Royal Ballet in London. Giselle remains her calling card. It brought her back to Ballet Theater in 2015 and again on Friday. Mr. Hallberg was her Albrecht, as he has been in most of her Ballet Theater performances of "Giselle."
. . .
Ms. Osipova has become a more startlingly singular artist. Her resources seem only to grow; yet her stage manners have become only simpler and more direct.
I love how this thread references so many ballets I've danced in - I never realized how much some audience members get really into the music! I think it's super awesome.
Music is a form of art, and probably the most noble one too!
