Clara 76 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I don't know if this is the proper place to put this but I just came across an Italian website with beautiful pictures of dancers. I thought I'd post the link for others to enjoy! Ballet Website Clara 76 Link to comment
carbro Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Thanks, Clara, for posting. Unfortunately, the link brought up an error message. I know these things happen for all kinds of reasons. I'm sure many readers besides me would appreciate it if you could check and fix the link, if that's where the problem is. Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Came up ok for me just now, tho. Link to comment
mohnurka Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Something else might be the problem.. I could access it.. Good luck. Link to comment
carbro Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I just tried on three different browsers and still can't get it. Maybe it's busy. Link to comment
Old Fashioned Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Thanks for the link, Clara. My favorites are the one of Nina Ananiashvili posing in arabesque in La Sylphide and Margot Fonteyn in the Rose Adagio. Exquisite. I loved seeing those pure lines juxtaposed next to the contortionists. Link to comment
soubrette_fan Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 The page loaded fine for me (I am using Mozilla Firefox 1.0), although it did take quite awhile because of all the graphics. Link to comment
Clara 76 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 carbro, I'm sorry the link doesn't work... It works for me from this page. Perhaps your anti-virus or firewall program doesn't like it?? I use Norton and I am not having any warnings or anything. The site is quite lovely, even though I don't understand a word of it!! If you click on the bottom where it says 'Home' (It's the only English word!!), it will take you to the main page & on the bottom right, you can click on some more photo links. I found Pas De Deux photos of everyone from Lacarra/Pierre to Makarova/Nureyev. I hope you can get to it carbro.. Here's the actual address: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/lillial2004/Sognodiballerina.htm Clara 76 Link to comment
Farrell Fan Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Like carbro, I get an error message and remain unlinked. That's okay as long as I'm not missing any photos of Suzanne.That would make me unhinged. Link to comment

It's Farrell caught in grand jeté as the Sugar Plum Fairy. Link to comment
Ari Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I couldn't access this site from the office, but I can at home. I used Mozilla Firefox both times. But I've found that there are a number of sites I can access at the office using MS Explorer that are unavailable to me with Firefox -- I don't know why. So it might be worth trying another browser if you're really interested. It's a lovely site, Clara. Thanks for the link. Link to comment
Helene Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I'm able to access the site using Explorer, both at work and at home. Link to comment
BalletNut Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 The pictures are lovely, but some of the dancers are misidentified. Link to comment
Helene Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 The pictures are lovely, but some of the dancers are misidentified. Please tell us more Link to comment

BalletNut Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 The pictures are lovely, but some of the dancers are misidentified. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Please tell us more <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I'm pretty sure that one of the Guillem pictures is actually Yuan Yuan Tan in La Esmeralda. And I've seen the Giselle penchee shot, identified as Vishneva, on Anastasia Volochkova's website. (She has blond hair, as does the ballerina in the picture, and Vishneva is definitely a brunette.)

Mashinka Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 In addition: the picture of Irma Nioradze identified as La Bayadere is actually Le Corsaire; Ethan Steifel and Sarah Wilder are dancing Coppelia, not Cinderella; the Giselle picture of Carla Fracchi is not with Maris Liepa but his son Andris and the picture of Merle Park and Rudolf Nureyev should be captioned The Nutcracker not Sleeping Beauty. In spite of these errors I loved the site, as there were a number of photos I'd never seen before. Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 These are certainly nice photos, but I do wonder where the site owner gets them from. So far as I can see there are no photographer credits - or have I missed that? If he/she has paid standard copyright fees it must have cost a small fortune! Link to comment
carbro Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Late last night, I re-downloaded Netscape (giving me four browser options ), and it did the trick !!! Thanks, Clara, again. Lovely photos, although I agree with Jane Simpson about the copyright issue. Link to comment
mohnurka Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Besides, I don't think it's actually Asylmuratova in the photo that they claim is of her.. Enjoyable to see nonetheless. Link to comment
