I think part of what makes ballet so beautiful is that it looks so effortless when they're performing, and yet you know that there are hundreds of hours of preparation that go into making something look that "effortless". She is truly a gift to watch.
I began studying ballet before age 4 because of sickled feet, fallen arches etc...and ended up after years of bullying, tears and an inner drive I still can't explain, a lovely classical dancer. That being said, I just want to express Svetlana is the most magnificent ballet dancer I've had the pleasure to watch.....technically faultless, her inner love of expressing herself through ballet translates to powerful & emotional interpretations of both the choreographer & composer's brilliant work. Perhaps there is someone out there who's talents are equal to Ms. Zakharova's, but in my many evenings of availing myself of the finest classical performances I can find, I haven't found her equal. We all know no classical dancer can continue this level of exquisite brilliance for many years, I'm just grateful to be mesmerized by her rare talent, even from afar via youtube. I watched Misha and Natalia perform in Lincoln Center many times with ABT in NYC while studying with Harkness Ballet decades ago, and was just awestruck by their talents. It's clear the Russians continue to improve their already superb level of training to this day. Bravo!
как она прекрасна! Понимаешь умом, что это адский труд , но как легко она танцует, кажется , она в воздухе!!!!ее изваяния должны украшать лучшие музеи мира!!!
Yes, I remember the time, when all three were competing on the Mariinsky stage: Lopatkina, Vishneva and Zakharova. One theatre was too small for them. :)
she is my dance idol, she is so gorgeous and such a strong dancer! Whenever I don't want to go to dance class I remind myself of her dedication and how much she practices! She such an amazing dancer...........
Absolutely stunning!! Ethereal and angelic when dancing, and so human in the interview.A privilege to watch.I am fortunate to have the videos of all her dancing with the Scala. I treasure them.
That´s right. In her official web site says ... Svetlana Zakharova was born in Lutsk, in the Ukraine, on 10 June 1979¨. And as all we know in 1979 Ukraine was part of the USSR, the former Soviet Union.
Good morning Hookhan is magnifique live a emotion of see Svetlana Zakharova give a life and lovely with delicate precision and elegance , a coreografia .Bravo
For all the people asking, yes she's from the Ukraine. But I think when she was born it was part of the USSR. I am not 100% sure but I think that is right.
So beautiful! She's Goddess! I know how hard to become the ballet artists. I've been to the famous school in St Petersburg, they studied ballet since 6,7 year old and it takes almost 10 years.
That's just the beginning of their lives as classical dancers,. but your sentiments are indicative of an artistic heart who recognizes brilliance! Bravo!
Se ne sono andati tutti o quasi quanti conoscevo....forse me ne andrò anche io tra breve.....però vogli che TU sappia che nessuno ti ha amato ne ti potrà amare quanto il ti ho amato!
I think she was talking about becoming the Etoile of La Scala. She took over the title from Alessandra Ferri when the Italian retired. She also mentions Massimo Murru who was replaced by Roberto Bolle.
Gianni Schicchi It's ok. We all have our own opinions. Do you speak Russian? I'd like to know what she is saying about Ferri in the beginning of the interview.

Even in interviews she is so elegant and refined. Such a beautiful woman, her skin looks like porcelain
I just cant find words, it makes me speachless. Absolutely perfect!
Svetlana is most famous ballet dancer, no doubt. Superb dancing, plasticity, artistry and nature beauty. Thank for pleasure, watching the ballet!
This woman is a piece of art.
Such a beautiful dancer. I would go to Russia just to watch her perform.
Ya tozhe!
I have been privileged to see her live. In my memories forever!
I appreciate a lot Svetlana's works, especially "Giselle",
and I am glad her career is so successful.

Svetlana sei Divina ti amerò per sempre
I can not understand the Russian language,but Svetlana Zakharova dance speaks from the heart. what a beautiful ballerina.
Yes, words are nice but her innate and unusual technical and emotional brilliance speaks far more eloquently than words!
her control and strong center is just unbelievable to watch. she's a true master of the art.
Such class and refinement along with being humble and nice person.
she is my dance idol, she is so gorgeous and such a strong dancer! Whenever I don't want to go to dance class I remind myself of her dedication and how much she practices! She such an amazing dancer...........

she is definately my role model when it comes to dancing!! She is sooooooo pretty and the greatest dance talent in the world......literally!
Божественная !!! Самая, самая! Из премьеров - Цискаридзе, из прим - Захарова. Такие не скоро появятся.
She's just so damn beautiful. Sometimes, when she's dancing, it's easy to forget that she's human and not something more...

Some sub-titles would be great, especially since she doesn't speak English, so we never get to hear what she has to say...
I love Ballet

Svetlana Zakharova en pointe looks like hovering. I look forward a view years and see her dance Myrtha :)
Ничего прекраснее балет еще не видел… и увидит ли?….

She was born in Ukraine, a part of USSR then. She is a Russian citizen now.
La Bayadère (The Temple Dancer) by Ludwig Minkus
Is she Ruissian? Her name sound more Bulgarian than Russian...
Haha, have to perfect my Russian. I was only able to pick up some words..
Все солистки хороши , но такая ,как Светлана вряд ли еще появится.Она уже не выступает.
La Bayadère (or Bayaderka)
giselle?
@MeTaLkA I think she's fro ukraine
oh ya that looks more approriate
Well. All in english. I'll do my best. Zarahkova is one of de Goddes.They are 4 or 5, no more. Pavlova, Plesistkaya....Ulanova...
Gianni Schicchi I'd add Alessandra Ferri to that list.
Diagree.
Sorry. Disagree.
Gianni Schicchi It's ok. We all have our own opinions. Do you speak Russian? I'd like to know what she is saying about Ferri in the beginning of the interview.
No. I vould like to, but I don't. Can't help you.
Точёная! А, ...Руки!!! ... Это?
Отдельный Балет! ❗
her feet are extremly winged when she does an attitude or arabesque.
is Roberto bolle and Svetlana Zhackharova dating before
No, I don't think so.
Who can translated ?? xd
Cosa pensavate di inaugurare il Regno del AMORE o della falsità!
i think la slyphide
Those dresses that go at a 90 degree really put the demand upon ballerinas. Un-balanced and it's going to be bouncing all over the place.
