I do not have the extensive knowledge and history of others on this forum, so I cannot really answer the topic question, but I am glad to see Obraztsova mentioned. When I think of a "complete" ballerina, I do not look for someone who excels equally in everything. I look for someone who is sublime in much and excellent in all. I believe she is that. I also look for someone who is never awkward or unsure in the management of her limbs, light in movement, has body positions that appear harmonious and fluid, and it neither wooden nor overly affected in acting or stage manner. To me she is all

I have been eagerly waiting for reviews, and am sorry your experience was not positive. I thought her SL at the Stanislavsky was superb as far as characterization, and was really looking forward to her developing more in the role.

Thank you! That particular performance of the Onegin dream pdd is one of my favorites.

I thought Obraztsova was incredibly effective as Odile. Evil, but with nuance. In the youtube video, her fouettes look secure and centered. I'm not sure I understand the criticism of them, but I am also not a dancer.

Obraztsova at the Kennedy Center would be a dream.

Ahh...how wonderful! Someone put a lot of work into making those subtitles. Thanks for alerting!

I absolutely cannot wait to see Evgenia Obraztsova in this. Here is a youtube video of her discussing it: I hope videos show up, many and soon.

Thank you for posting the videos of Irina's ABT farewell. I really wish that I could have gotten to NY to see her in Onegin. This may be more appropriate in another conversation, but here is a lengthy and interesting interview with Irina, including some of her reasons for retirement: http://www.timeout.com/newyork/dance/ballerina-irina-dvorovenko-talks-about-american-ballet-theatre-and-on-your-toes-1?intcid=leader

It looks like there is a new, lengthy documentary of Evgenia available on youtube: (part 2: ). Would any Russian speaker be able to provide a summary, please? I can only understand the broad outlines. Thank you in advance.
