Amy, have you seen the Messerer after Gorsky production?

Thank you very much for the analysis!

Could you be more specific?

The overall performance is a bit weak (except the ballerina), but I found the production really interesting. Not to be confused with the Messerer version.

The full performance. It is the old Mikhailovsky version of Swan Lake (before Messerer), considered the most authentic of all classical productions, the purest Petipa. Recorded in July 2009, it was the last performance.

One of the finest and most subtle performances! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8JzY5Q6BEQ

What evil looks like! Borchenko as Odile...

It really does!

Another possibility is Polina Semionova...

Natalia Osipova in the Mikhailovsky Swan Lake. Most probably she will dance it with the company at the Koch theatre. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD3ZE-yGto0

Ekaterina Borchenko Pas de deux from Act 2. This is a tape from the last performance - Borchenko was urgently called to replace Perren and she danced with Ivan Vasiliev. Not only that she is taller than him, but they had to perform after a single rehearsal made just before the show. I think they did it well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F9K6MquoTs Le Jardin Anime.
