Thanks to everyone for your answers! They were very helpful for me Now I have new questions: First; I have seen on Youtube some videos of Aurelie Dupont in the Sleeping Beauty and I liked much. In your opinion, is it worth to buy the DVD? What do you think of her interpretation of Aurora? Second; do you think is it worth to buy the DVDs box set The Art of Svetlana Zakharova at the Bolshoi? There are 4 DVDs of her performances in Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, La Bayadère and The Pharaoh's Daughter. Thanks again

I like more romantic and lyrical ballets, as Giselle and Swan Lake, but I'm open to other suggestions to discover new ballets As example, now I'm intrigued by La Sylphide 😉

Hello, I would like to know some DVD titles of repertoire ballets, since I started collecting them. What are the "essentials" to have? For now I own Swan Lake, Giselle, La Bayadère all danced by Svetlana Zakharova and Roberto Bolle, Giselle with Marianela Nuñez and Vadim Muntagirov and Raymonda with Olesya Novikova and Friedmann Vogel. Which others do you recommend? Thank you so much ❤️

Thank you so much!

Thank you Aurora! In your opinion, which is the best ballet between Giselle and The Sleeping Beauty with Svetlana Zakharova and for the ballet in itself?

Thanks so much! I also think that, in fact Svetlana Zakharova is one of my favorites in Giselle. But The Sleeping Beauty will be staged after 12 years at La Scala in the version of Nureyev, and so I wanted to see how she was in this ballet and how was the ballet in itself in this version. I've seen her only in the version of Grigorovich (on Youtube) and she had a fantastic technique, but yes, I prefer her in more lyrical roles, as Odette, Nikiya or Giselle. The guest star for The Sleeping Beauty is Polina Semionova, but I don't like her so much. What do you think of her?

Hi! The next year at La Scala theater there be Giselle and The Sleeping Beauty with Svetlana Zakharova, and I love so much both the ballets! But I can go to see only one, because I don't live in Milan: so, which one do you advice me to see live? And what is the ballet in which Zakharova expresses herself better between these two? I hope in your answers. Bye! P.S. I know it's too early to think at it, but I want to have a clear idea 😊

Hi! I'm Mariangela and I'm from Italy Maybe I'm the only Italian here 😂😂 I always loved dance, from 6 to 11 years old I practised dance, but only from 2 years I'm interested to the ballets. My favourite ballets are Swan Lake, it's the ballet that has approached me to this art, Giselle and The Sleeping Beauty. Recently, I loved La Bayadère. Bye! 😊
