MakarovaFan Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Does anyone recall a full-length performance of The Bolshoi's Swan Lake starring Plisetsksaya as Odette/Odile and Maris Liepa as Von Rothbart from the 1970's being broadcast on the A&E channel? Does anyone know if this is available on VHS or DVD? Thanks! Link to comment
rg Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 the only 'complete' film i know of SWAN LAKE w/plisteskaya (opp. n. fadeyechev's prince) dates from 1957 and has v. levashev as rothbart. i've not heard of another, and know of no footage of m. liepa as rothbart. i have done a cursory check of a few ref. books - in russian and in english - none lists rothbart as a role of liepa's.

I saw her in Montreal and NYC during the early-mid 70s but only in Act 2. But this may have been due to touring issues; she may still have been dancing the complete ballet in Moscow or even on other tours. Thanks Richard Link to comment
glebb Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I love watching the 57 video. Her pirouettes are hysterical. They close up on her face and you see her feathers flapping up and down each spot of the head. Link to comment
