Buddy Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Thanks leonid. I've found Alina Cojocaru to be a lovely, straightforward and unassuming person as well as an amazing talent. Whenever I travel to Europe from the US, which is about once a year, I always check to see if she is performing at that time. If so I try to schedule a stopover in London to see her performance. The first time I ever saw her, I was in the director's box. This is a partially blocked view seating area so I was able to get a seat at the last moment. I was almost close enough to touch her. She performed Giselle. About a year later she did an excerpt from Giselle at the Lausanne competition as a guest performer. She seemed to have already added another dimension to the role. She has a gentle, ethereal presence along with her virtuoso capabilities--a wonderful combination. She seems to grow and amaze each time I see her. [more comments added later] Link to comment
