For me Marianela Nunez as the Lilac Fairy puts the Cojocaru/Bonelli ahead of Durante/Solymosi, but then again I am a huge fan of both Nunez & Cojocaru so I am a little biased.

I guess I will participate, but I haven't seen a lot of the ones mentioned. Gotta start with Giselle - the main reason I now have 7 versions on dvd Also Black Swan Rubies I guess I am alone on these Mayerling (I wish they would put Kobborg/Cojocaru on dvd) La Fille Mal Gardee

Nunez & Cojocaru
Wedgewes replied to Wedgewes's topic in Ballet Videos, Films, Broadcast Performances, Photos, and Interviews
Alina Cojocaru is Clara in the Royal Ballet Nutcracker which was filmed during the 2000/2001 Christmas season. I believe she wasn't promoted to principal until April 2001. I just noticed that Marianela Nuñez is also on this DVD - as one of the leading flowers! She didn't become a principal until 2002. Cool Thanks I never noticed Marianela in that. -

Personal Favorite 5 Giselle La Fille mal Gardee Swan Lake Sleeping Beauty La Bayadere Most would probably substitue La Fille mal Gardee for Nutcracker or Coppelia. -
You' know you've watched too many Ballet videos when you....
Wedgewes replied to iczerman's topic in Discovering the Art
The downside is how few videos there really are... You know you've watched too many videos when your wish list includes $5000 more... I can agree with that. I could always use a couple dozen more Giselles. -

...when you have only been into ballet for 6 months yet have already spent $1000 dollars on dvds.
