Cygnet Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Silvy, you saw Lezhnina live?! I am SOOOO jealous!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I saw Lezhnina live too. Her Florine and Aurora were classically pure. When the Maryinsky came to L.A. in December 1992, they were celebrating the 100th anniversary of 'Nutcracker.' She danced the most perfect Masha (second only to Maximova's), that I ever saw. The audience rose to it's feet. . . Unforgettable. Link to comment

Hans Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Cygnet, I'm so envious I think my skin has actually turned green! Thank you for that description; what I would not give to see Lezhnina dance live. Link to comment
silvy Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Regarding Lezhnina as Florine, I remember that people around me at the theater were not that impressed. As she danced only the adagio, all you could admire was that pristine classical purity. And there and then I realized that too many people go to ballet driven to see pyrotechnics, and not true art. Hers was ART above all Link to comment
