Natalia Osipova Jumps/Entrechats Giselle ACT IV

[fredericolourenco]

there is NOTHING in the world of ballet that compares to Osipova! And her Giselle is simply in a class of its own.

[tsochengkimo]

Although what really strikes me is the sheer sadness Osipova conveys through her unique "lifeless" Giselle, I am still in awe by the fact that the orchestra has to specifically slow down the tempo in order to wait for her to come back to the ground.

She is the Callas of ballet. She literally set the bar to a degree that probably won't be surpassed in this century. She is, like Callas, completely at one with the music. And the technique? Perfection.

The ballet Giselle breaks my heart, I almost can't watch it... no one brings the character to life and death the way Osipova does. Her Giselle is from another world. She truly looks like a spirit and not a human.

Wow. The jumps at the end! She gets such height on those. Amazing. She's hauntingly powerful in this role.

[vsoltero]

My goodness. I just watched a couple of versions with other dancers and nothing comes close to this. She brings the otherworldly to life here. So effortless. No one else could make it look like this.

[BaileyDerby]

Superb! The best Giselle I have ever seen. She really connects with this role in a completely unique way. The abandon she brings to it, and those incredible jumps-what a spectacular combination. Truly fantastic!

[katkinp]

I was lucky to see this actual performance live! and a decade later those gazelle like leaps still haunt me, truly the best Giselle I've ever seen. Great that it is on YouTube for all to see, its a chilling masterclass.

[SNHcaks]

Osipova is the only Giselle that brought me to tears and to my knees. Technique, interpretation, and performance. Utterly divine. Her Giselle is the most convincing and transcendent. She IS Giselle.

Нереально прекрасная Наталья- Жизель! Ни одна другая балерина не вдохновляет меня так в этой роли, как она. Как будто нет силы притяжения- летит дух Жизели!
