Terry Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 Since Marc added a link of Nioradze, I thought I'd provide the link to Galina Mezentseva's website that I found. Some people have probably seen it already, but for those of you who haven't, it's a very detailed website. http://www.csa.ru/Mezentseva/ Link to comment
Juliet Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 Thank you for this...she is one of my favourites, but I think it good to introduce others to her, as I don't think her renown in this country is what it should be... Link to comment
Natalia Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Thanks so much for this, Terry. I'm with you, Juliet. I've never seen Mezentseva strike a position (pose) that is not divine. Another example of beauty that does not rely on acrobatic tricks. Link to comment
Alexandra Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 The first question I plan on asking when I get to Heaven is "what on EARTH do they see in Mezentseva?" (Not intended to quibble -- I know there are gazillions of Mezentseva fans, and I certainly respect their opinion, but I'll never understand why.) Link to comment
Natalia Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Yes, Mezentseva definitely polarizes the audience. One either loves her or.... Different strokes for different folks, I suppose. One thing is certain: GM has attained near-goddess-rank in St. Petersburg. Lopatkina seems to strike the same chord in Petersburgers...the long, reed-slender body that cries and sings at the same time (the gist of what they love in these two ballerinas). Link to comment
Alexandra Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 I don't need Heaven to understand Lopatkina Link to comment
Andrei Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 Alexandra, she is touched by God's hand. It's mean, that without knowlege she managed to do genius things on the stage. But the same time she could be absolutely dull in a minute. So, may be you just saw those bad performances. Link to comment
Alexandra Posted July 8, 2001 Share Posted July 8, 2001 Yup, just the dull ones. Thanks, Andrei. Now I can ask better questions in Heaven Link to comment
