One of the most exquisite and pure performances of this variation. She is superb. Her musicality is perfection. Her lines are purely classical with no distortions. Her ports des bras are elegant and simple. Just a pure, expressive, authentic performance of the highest calibre.

The most beautiful dancer who epitomised the French School.

Classicism at its purest and most refined. Any dancer approaching the role of Aurora should study this.

I wonder who are the five persons who disliked the video... How could they ?! Her lines are so pure, her technique is so strong, and her musicality, her ports de bras, and her elegance are breathtaking !

Probably the quality of the video not the dancing. Ms. Platel was an incredible dancer, really incredible.

Absolutely. Plus the 4 pirrouettes en Delors. The whole solo technically and artistically wonderful.

Perfection. THIS is Aurora.

I too love her gorgeous port de bras! But I think what I love the most about her is the way in which she uses her head and, in particular, her eyes. It's just so distinctive to her. Wonderful expressiveness and intelligence.

im so happy i saw her on stage...amazing dancer

She has such elegance and musicality..!

her epaulement is simply marvelous

so elegant, and her use of head gives girlish charm, adorable! thank you.

So pure and elegant. Perfection

Superb indeed!! Another interesting clip, available on DVD, shows her being coached in this role by the late Rosella Hightower around 1981. How beautiful she was!! THose who love classical ballet can breath a sigh of relief that she has been appointed Director of the Paris Ballet School.

Platel:A perfekt classic stile!

epitome of classic lines...beauty in action!

Next week she's going to be my teacher at a summer intensive!!!

J'aime bcp Elisabeth Platel....c très beau et plein de grâce et finesse..

Oui - elle est superbe ici! Magnifique!

A beautifl princess....she's THE elegance!

Perfeita Performance!

sublime!

Fabulous - she is so refined!

Fabulous!

fabulous.

Such a regal dancer.👏👏👏

Perfection itself.

she's indeed one of the last dancer/ ballet teacher now to have been tauught by Noureev, A speachless teaching, based on listening of musical partition as it is; and movements , repeated till the almost possible perfection. Always in respect of proportions of the body, music partition an coreoghraphy, and heart of the dancers. This great " patrimoine que elle a la chance d'avoir reçue par le Maitre absolue R. N " est aujourdhui transmie par elle meme. Hoping someone will collect evrything Noureev have offered to humanity: pure art, connectin to G.d.

At that time she had not yet worked with Noureev. This is the French School from her training with Christiane Vaussard and Pierre Lacotte, Kalioujny and Franchetti that you can see here. She certainly gained other notions from Noureev when he arrived at the head of the Paris Opera, but she had already this classical royalty and purity.

@@alainspiteri502 Nureyev did not inject the Kirov sensibility not the Paris Opera style. In fact, he preferred the pure classism of the western style but with a push for more virtuosity or prowess. When he came to the west he only wanted to dance with Fonteyn - as far as one could get from the Kirov style. He hated Makarova’s style and he dislike partnering her. At the Paris Opera he was like aGod and they let him restage many ballets to add a bit of virtuosity. He hated Russian exagération and mannerism. He loved SylvieGuillame because although he didn’t instruct his dancers to follow her example of such extraordinary extensions, in Sylvie’s case she was blessed with her specific, special body and her extensions were authentic to her. Nureyev believed in every dancer pushing to their best. He pushedFonteyn beyond her perceived limits. Platel was authentic too, and whether or not she had been influenced yet by Nureyev only specific dates can say. She was just the teacher at the Prix de Lausanne 2020 and her belief in academic and pure lines in class without embellishments still exists

Platel who worked with Noureev 1983-92 is a ballerina with Noureev erea style 60 ' you don't understand what you write , you mix Russians 60' with Russians to day ; with Noureev a Star is mostly no demonstrative here is Elyzabeth Platel ! no comparison possible beetwen Zakharova and Platel , some times Zakharova is demonstrative Platel no it's thhat you don't understand ; about male dancers it's an other technic j talk here ballerinas erea 60' Platel with Noureev is this pur style

Wow, She's amazing! I almost didn't even catch the stumble.

I remember this clip well - it's from the wonderful Makarova-hosted series on A & E, 'Ballerina.' I must've watched the entire series a thousand times. Check out the quadruple pirouette at the end.

Godess!

vous savez on n'invente rien , Noureev a choisi Elizabeth Platel pour deux créations " La Bayadère " et elle fut aussi la première à danser Raymonda à l'opéra de Paris ( avec Charles Jude ) tout le reste se passe de commentaires

What year was this filmed?

Przepięknie. Po królewsku.

А какой это год?

Le terme "la Danse Francaise" suppose une sorte de danse qui est tipiquement frencaise comme, par example une danse francaise folklorque. "La danse francaise" destininee a tipifier une style (francaise) est sans evidence.

wow. i'm happy to say that this performance was ok.

lol I noticed that, amazing recovery!!! lol

Year?🥺

Cent nest pas la Danse Francaise. Cest la danse!, style academique (noble), interprete par une danseuse francaise. Les americains, Les Russes, Les Cubains, Les Anglais, Les italiens;- tous interprete La Belle. Le Ballet cest academique et universel comme language.

She seems to be under water

Beautiful unfussy presentation of a fussy variation. I do wish they hadn't out those little frills at her wrists. With line like hers, why interrupt it like that?!

I can see her great tecnique here. Smooth arms and beautiful turns, but I don't see what Aurora feels and what she wants to express with them. She is dancing as if a teacher tells her what to do/act. Her tecnique is really great obviously, but where is Aurora's charm? Am I too unsparing?
