I think the black swan will always be Svetlana’s unmatched best role. She radiates everything a black swan ought to be. Look at the subtle way she used her neck, shoulder, and head to act out a character who is in high confidence of her feminine sexuality mixed with playfulness and even occasional scorn as she interacts with the prince. Other dancers may top her here and there in certain aspects of ballet techniques but literally NO ONE interprets the black Swan better than her. She IS the Black Swan.

Undeniably utterly magnificent unmatched. Svetlana is the black and white swan always and forever. Natalia osipova is also magnificent in her own right and hard to match but Svetlana is my favorite

Захарова невероятная!

I like these versions where Rothbart plays a larger role in Odile's Black Swan Dance. Separating the prince from her. Or how she dances over to him to whisper and plot. It seems like they miss out on vital storytelling when they don't have Rothbart getting very involved.

I agree, Rothbart is an important part in the story and it makes it less interesting when they leave him out.

Stephanie-Marie Bates I’ve seen many versions where she dances over to him to whisper and plot, but this is the first version I’ve seen where Rothbart has a dancing interlude (10:28) with music that’s usually cut out.

I'm the opposite, i don’t love that Rothbart is interfering so much here. I guess my issue is that the Black Swan's role is one of seduction and distraction, and Siegfried gets totally caught up in it, but it’s hard to imagine that when she keeps going over to talk to her dad every few minutes.

Слов таких нет. Чтобы объяснить бурю положительных эмоций, вызываемых этим прекрасным исполнением!!!

There is no one doing the variation and coda this way any more, too damn difficult. This footage is piece of ballet history.

let me help you out, honestly, I couldn't easily find one among least 20 of them in YTB, the one close to it is kzread.info/dash/bejne/on16yKeGosjIctbG.htmly Gillian Murphy in ABT 2005.

I just watched Sylvie Guillem version in kzread.info/dash/bejne/pKR7k7Gwo9zAkaQ.html , it is not quite the same, specially in style, but SZ's more difficult.

@Clarissa Leung , For Marianela Nunez's, don't know what VA she did, the coda has the back hop which is rare , although she only did 4 hops, still counts, nowadays it normally replaced by pique turns.

@Clarissa Leung , about Natalia Osipova's VA , she did very well, that is a POB version, too bad it doesn't have coda in the clip. hope , someone watched the show to tell us. About the Sylvie Guillem comment, I was only speaking to the specific clip in the link, due to SZ was a guest star in POB, she was dancing with POB style and choreo (except VA is not quite) , I think that is a fair comparison. I have no intention to remark who is better in ballet dance wise.

she is just the best ever--- what a wonderful couple--

SVETLANA ZAKHAROVA NON DANZA MA FLUTTUA NELL' ARIA CON IL SUO MAGNIFICO TALENTO

I think totally owns this role, she’s pure perfection. 👏👏❤️

Perfect. It gave me goosebumps.

Wow, The hardest full-length PDD（T) in Nureyev style.

Breathtaking interpretation!❤️ She is really the Black Swan. And I pride myself of having enjoyed many. My other choice of perfection, Josefina Mendez, Prima Ballerina at the Cuban National Ballet. I was a student at Alicia Alonso's Ballet School many years ago. I have never known another ballerina that could stand firmly in one toe for such a long time than Josefina! This interpretation now... Awesomely beautiful!!💎❤️🙏

Svetlana, the best Odette/Odile.

Jfc, this was the BEST coda fouettés I've seen in my LIFE, she does not MOVE! Hshshshshshs

Love this variation with French flair. Breathtaking performances from all dancers. I think this just edges out the Italian production with Bolle, in my humble opinion. Merci beaucoup.

Omg its so beautiful I cried

increible!!! excelente!!!

Ottimi quelli che con un mio neologismo mi piace chiamare convoli aerei ed elanisti della ballerina ottimamente indotti e tenuti dal partner. Ottima impressione di facilità esecutiva d'acchito da parte di entrambi e di levità fluente fatta tensione elanista e motile sorprendente nella ballerina. Ottimo direi imperativo dello spazio proscenico da parte del ballerino a balzi falcati amplissimi ed a sforbiciate volanti trasverse. Ottimo il senso del continuum dato alla pièce danzante.SUperlativi.Bighin GIULIO RENZO BIGHIN 😊😊😊😊😊

her arabesques and penches wow

:-D Magnífica!

Miscalculation of placement at 3:22 in an otherwise perfect performance. She's human after all...

13:10 that awkward moment when you started spinning like crazy but saw from the corner of your eye that the director was drinking water

A dramatic choreography. Nothing is hard for her.
