She is such a graceful and elegant dancer. However I feel Cesar Corrales will never fully fit a strong romantic lead role. He is a dynamic dancer; far better as a soloist, the more characterful and energetic the part, the better. I found it impossible to be absorbed in this interpretation of Romeo and Juliet, which is my favourite ballet.
My favorite ballet ever! My son said “I could do what he’s doing.” What Cesar does is so much harder than it looks. Francesca is nothing but grace and elegance. I could watch this 1,000 and never get tired of it
With limited opportunities to perform before a live audience this year, this is a beautiful and most welcome display. Lovely, and well done Royal Ballet, indeed the show must go on.
May be it's not "perfect" as some people has written (for me it is) but it's far from robotic. The best thing of their excellent performance is that it is easy to understand what they are saying to each other and what are their feelings. Their expressions are wonderful. It is like reading a book and imagine the delicate movements of the loving couple. It's a dream.
I totally get it. I mean, I can see some spots where it looks a bit off or wobbly or not as effortless as one might expect.... but how am I gonna sit here and criticize it when I've never taken a single dance lesson (unless you count a square dance I went to once). I'm in no position to do anything but admire.
@Weird Content Guaranteed and even if they don't, they are still entitled to their opinion. Thinking that only experts are allowed to have an opinion makes little sense since their are hundreds and even thousands (depending on the theatre) of people pay to witness this artform. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, wheter that beholder is an "expert" or not.
These two manage to connvey so much emotion with their mesmerizing performance. Simply breathtaking! So happy this was put online for all to see and treasure.
I can't wait to see Frankie dance the full-length performance. Her sense of character is wonderful. I love how you can feel Odette's 'angst' about the risk of trusting the prince in Hayward's interpretation of the PDD. I think other dancers often portray Odette as a little too soft/tranquil for someone who has so much at stake. I'm excited to see both dancers gain more confidence and fine tune their performance, but this is a great start for first-time Swan Lake leads.
A beautiful pairing. So in tune together. Lovely interpretation of Odette-soft, gentle, but not soppy, and no over-emoting which can be grotesque. Hope this will continue to be fine-tuned by both.
Wow... That was simply amazing. I loved how they made the stage look so small. Also... Being alone on it, it pulls you into their world, like they see it. In that moment nothing else exists but them. Applause for Francesca and Cesar and also the violinist. Bravo
A beautiful partnership, they draw you in into their emotional performance , they are very connected. I was lucky enough to see them perform in Romeo and Juliet ,the audience was very moved. I had tickets to see them in Swan Lake so I am very grateful to see this performance online, I hope to see them perform live in Swan Lake. Both are beautiful dancers, watch Caesars performance as Ali in Le Corsair when with ENB, superb. A perfect partnership.
I’ve seen Swan lake so many times and possibly got a bit bored of it, but this pairing brought completely new life to it for me. I feel like I’m watching too young people, stuck in sad circumstances, genuinely getting to know each other and fall in love. The technique is exceptional, but getting the feeling across is a true talent ❤️
I love Francesca and I like seeing new dancers such as Cesar here. It was beautiful but I think they’re both still growing in their partnership. I don’t need the high extensions and the artistry is certainly there - just needs more time and maybe trust from both. The RB has set the bar so high with their principals. Excited to see this pair in future performances. 😊🩰
A performance of phenomenal beauty. I have never heard such an amazing interpretation of this great music. Not fussy. Majestically. Tchaikovsky would be pleased.
That was exquisite, thank you! I don't think I've ever seen a ballerina look so weightless in lifts - the little delay in her arms as she landed - so beautiful 💕💕
Her phrasing and her attack are reminiscent of Fonteyn (very British), but the shapes she creates, the lines she forms, the choreographic choices she makes, and that singing, perpetually moving quality of her movement are reminiscent of Makarova. Best of all, no ear high, head whacking extensions. Just simple, unaffected artistry, and a spark of theatrical genius that will only burn brighter as Hayward matures.
There’s something so otherworldly and divine about the ballet❤❤ it’s like the gods themselves spoke through composers at one point and these very talented people r there to make the music dance❤❤
Extraordinary grace and emotive. Never since Margot have I seen such tender expression between the dancers; no over extensions, truly gentle with awesome interpretation and magical skill. What perfection!! What joy these young dancers have. Truly, perfect
I really wish I had chosen dance over gymnastics. I am too short and not flexible to do it now but I have always respected ballet. Wow. She is a beautiful angel.
So much control, balance, and clear articulation while appearing effortless. As fluid as her movements are she has an equally breathtaking capacity for graceful intentional stillness and it perfectly complements and draws focus to her physical choices, especially the smaller details. Her precision and technique allow the space for her to be deliberate with how she expresses each moment for the character. It’s a balance that’s beautiful to see.
This is a rather slow but very expressive interpretation. In particular the last section where the swan and the prince so beautifully interpret the violin and cello intertwining and singing together. Ahhhh
Я плачу. Когда мне было 16 лет я работал в театре оперы и балета это были самые счастливые годы моей жизни. И я счастлив что это было в моей жизни. Прекрасное и чистое искусство балет. Петр Ильич Чайковский мое солнце которое светит в самые тяжелые времена . И когда мне очень плохо я вспоминаю свои 16 лет сцену , театр , оркестр, девочку которая играла на арфе а я слушал ее игру из за бархатных кулис мне становится легче. Прошло 30 лет где эта девочка, где эти спектакли где эта арфа?
Absolutely lovely! Artistry and acting given as much prominence as technique and producing the effect that should be produced, i.e. touching the emotions of the viewer. So wonderfully assisted by the marvellous violinist as well! Thank you.
Thank you 🙏 for an intimate and delicate portrayal of the most beautiful of all pas de deux by this young, fresh and gorgeous couple. Completely entranced. Just stunning. Francesca and Cesar forever!
The TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE......FRANCESCA IS SO GORGEOUS.SO LOVELY SEEING A LADY OF COLOUR GIVEN A CHANCE.....CONGRATULATIONS ROYAL BALLET....TO STUNNING 😍😍🤩🤩🤩
@@pollyparrot8759 same here! And why keep labelling? I see them as dancers, artistry, techniques, storytelling.... ROH doesn’t need to “sell” colour stories to sell tickets and that a differentiater. Well done ROH!!!
This is a VERY slow tempo rhythm that NATALIA MAKAROVA filled with emotion and magic. Natasha would have been the perfect choice to coach this young girl in this dress rehearsal. Her lines are beautiful. Corrales's partnering world-class.
Just saw Swan Lake at the Thrasher Horne in Orange Park. If you can do parts like these, you're in ballet immortality. Best ballet show I have been to.
I am watching this amazing performance over and over. More videos with Francesca please. I' ve seen her in Sleeping Beauty last week. She is fantastic.
This was so beautifully performed!!! Always wanted to be a ballerina but my parents couldn't afford it, I'm 15 and it's still my dream. Maybe in my next life🧁
Such a beautifully executed and controlled pas de deux by wonderfully talented dancers and musicians. My only criticism is that the male dancer is difficult to see. This happens when a dancer is in black or dark tights and shoes against a dark backdrop as has happened here, it would be nice to see his legs and feet too.
So true I have said this before-white tights would have been so much better. Also her headdress is too thick should be graduated-see Fonteyn's in Swan Lake, so much better.
Francesca is excellent, but also thanks to her partner; there is excellent communication between them and César is phenomenal, from another line of dancers.

Shoutout to that amazing violinist who did the scale runs from the bottom octave- this is a really tricky solo!!
shoutout to the harpist.
shoutout to the casts and the whole orchestra for doing a great job.
Yes, so beautifully played.
Very
Good
Indeed.👍👍👍💝
@@nellycouderq3868 as a harpist that made me smile.

@@isobelduncan And surely critiquing is half the fun. And most of us have been followers of the ballet for many years-for me since 1953.
😂👏🏻👏🏻Soooo true what you say!
I've been in the business for 40 years. I know.
Royal Ballet is a house of so many talented people.
After watching hundreds of Swan Lakes over decades I found this interpretation so fresh and incredibly moving. Bravo to these young dancers.

I could't have said it better!
Totally agree! What's wrong with her extensions?
A performance of phenomenal beauty. I have never heard such an amazing interpretation of this great music. Not fussy. Majestically.
Tchaikovsky would be pleased.
Shout out to the violinist!
Wow. The control is off the charts. Especially by the ballerina.
This year wasn't easy for the dancers!! (COVID 19)They worked so hard for this, and they performed it beautifully! Good job Royal Ballet!
That was exquisite, thank you! I don't think I've ever seen a ballerina look so weightless in lifts - the little delay in her arms as she landed - so beautiful 💕💕
Потрясающе!Все движения наполнены смыслом.Именно такой балет,а не просто акробатику,хочется видеть сегодня

Ok, those trust falls close to 3 minutes🤯🤯😍💗
Hi!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing
IK! It’s like they happen in slow motion
Ughhggghhhh so beautiful icant
There’s something so otherworldly and divine about the ballet❤❤ it’s like the gods themselves spoke through composers at one point and these very talented people r there to make the music dance❤❤
This is a wonderful beautiful performance of this piece of Swan Lake. It is so pure, so lovely done and very touching.
Could watch this beautiful dance forever 💜 Adore their gracefulness and elegance x
Francesca is majestic and magnetic as usual (and I'm on the verge of tears, as usual).
Thank you so much for sharing!
She absolutely takes this ballet to the next level, gorgeous
i gasped when she first came on screen. shes absolutely gorgeous
Extraordinary grace and emotive. Never since Margot have I seen such tender expression between the dancers; no over extensions, truly gentle with awesome interpretation and magical skill. What perfection!! What joy these young dancers have. Truly, perfect

Francesca just was wonderful and so delicated. Finally someone to adore.
La perfection de chaque étape est si complexe et belle alors qu’un livre ne suffirait pas à décrire sa perfection inégalée.
This is a rather slow but very expressive interpretation. In particular the last section where the swan and the prince so beautifully interpret the violin and cello intertwining and singing together. Ahhhh
Cesar Corrales orgullo Mexicano !! 🇲🇽 ❤️ making us proud

Music straight from Heaven - no other description is possible.
Waow simply amazing, this is the only way I am capable to watch these types of classical ballet. Thank you Royal Opera House
What a mesmerizing performance! Corrales and Hayward are so beautiful together. 😍😍
The Royal Ballet is my absolute favourite. So much depth and talent ❤
Gorgeous. Francesca Hayward dances the swan so beautifully. Fantastic x
Absolutely mind-blowing! She was born to dance. I saw her perform in Romeo and Juliet live and was in complete awe of her talent.
Beautiful young couple. I love replaying this on my tablet or laptop while chilling at a cafe. It's such a stress reliever.
I know nothing about ballet but i was amazed by the control and the elegance at 1:43 😮
The violin solo is just brilliant!
Absolutely beautiful, music, dancing, costumes - everything. More please!!
Frankie kind of looks like Natalie Portman in some angles, and as always, what great dancing! The Royal Ballet never disappoints
Beautiful ! Thanks a lot for sharing this jewel ! Congratulations to Miss Hayward and Mr. Corrales. Greetings from México.
Thank you 🙏 for an intimate and delicate portrayal of the most beautiful of all pas de deux by this young, fresh and gorgeous couple. Completely entranced. Just stunning. Francesca and Cesar forever!
Yah Thank you, love Francesca!! She is such a natural and you can't take your eyes off her when she is on stage. More Plz!
Another beautiful performance from Francesca this is not the first one that brought me to tears
СОВЕРШЕНСТВО!!! БРАВО!!!👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
oh my god, i am so stunned. the music, the dancers, the emotion, all of it is so beautiful and overwhelming. thank you so much for posting this :')

They look so beautiful together. I wonder if they are real couple outside this. The music. The dress. Everything is just so magical.
Muy hermosa danza, que sentimientos más bellos éxitos para todos.. Excelente en todo 👏 muy admirable.. 😊 😊 😊 Éxitos en sus trabajos buenas vibras..
Krásne pre oči aj srdiečko. Veľmi pekné zatancovali. Ďakujem a prajem Vám veľa úspechov.
Such a perfect pair, at one with the music.
Такое единение с музыкой! Супер танцоры!
One of the best interpretations I have seen....bravo!
There's something very honest, natural and unique about Francesca's interpretations!
Cada falange, cada tendón, cada nervio cuenta una historia... un amor idílico.
Going to see Lauren dancing this Friday…..
Now that is going to be something!
The best of all I have watched. Breathtakingly beautiful!
Francesca’s control kinda reminds me of Marianela. Also, her turnout did not miss a beat. BRAVO 🤍
They reflect emotions very well🫶 For a moment I felt as if I lived it myself
The way the guy's chilling throughout the entire dance while the woman's legs must be shaking from exhaustion
Strength effort intensity precision beauty grace love to see it all ❤

We are so incredibly rich and lucky to be able to listen to this where and when we want!
Beautiful pdd! Cesar is so in sync with Francesca. Perfectly lovely. #I❤️🩰 #I❤️ROH #I❤️TRB
I think these two dancers are a real couple, that’s how they could dance together. Utterly heartbreakingly beautiful.
They actually are!
Love, love, love every second...
So exquisite, beautiful musicality. Divine.
Absolutely beautifully performed!
