- Svetlana Zakharova and Igor Zelensky - Le Corsaire. St Petersburg 300 Years Gala 2003.
***
Le Corsaire - is a ballet typically presented in three acts, with a scenario originally created by Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges, loosely based on the poem The Corsair by Lord Byron. Originally choreographed by Joseph Mazilier to the music of Adolphe Adam, it was first presented by the ballet of the Théâtre Impérial de l´Opéra in Paris on 23 January 1856. All modern productions of Le corsaire have their roots in the revivals staged by the Ballet Master Marius Petipa for the Imperial Ballet of St. Petersburg throughout the mid to late 19th century.
The ballet has many celebrated passages which are often extracted from the full-length work and performed independently: the scene Le jardin animé, the Pas d'esclave, the Pas de trois des odalisques, and the so-called Le corsaire pas de deux, which is among classical ballet's most famous and performed excerpts.
Today Le Corsaire is performed chiefly in two different versions: those productions derived from the Kirov/Mariinsky Ballet's 1977 production (initially staged by Pyotr Gusev for the Maly/Mikhailovsky Theatre of Leningrad in 1955); and those derived from the Ballet Master Konstantin Sergeyev's production (initially staged for the Kirov/Mariinsky Ballet in 1973, and later for the Bolshoi Ballet in 1992). - เพลง
Svetlana is incredible,she has that stage presence like she owns it! not many dancers have this quality,her turns,extension and strength complete the package,oh and one more thing she is absolutely beautiful...
You know what? Anybody who has a negative comment about this performance must be jealous or lacking self esteem or angry for what ever reason I don't know,but give these dancers credit for reaching the top of their game...
Superb dancing - - i can't help but watch their brilliance on the stage - - over and over again! Bravo!
The classic attitude at 2:14 is breathtaking. The alignment of the two is sublime. One of endless moments that overwhelm in this pas de deux.
You know what? Svetlana is the best dancer ever!!! 💕💕💕💕
Lady Zakharova; Is Exquisite; And Exudes Splendour; And Igor And She Both; Demand Excellent; Stage Presence!!!!
Awesome! Her fouetté was perfection!🤩
The Kirov Company Always Places Him On Stage; With Some Of The Best Leading Ladies!
i have so much respect for them
Love the coda when he just comes out after her fouettés like “I can do that too!”
best dancer in the world ( svetlana )
Glorious dancing! Zakharova is magnificent, as is Igor.
The choregraphy is soooo great !! and the dancers are just perfect
They are perfect individually, but STUNNING as partners.
her fouettes are the epitome of perfection
Приятно после работы посмотреть БАЛЕТ прекрасный танец Светланы Браво

Zelensky is one of the best male dancer worldwide, another one is Farokh Ruzimatov. I enjoy watching those top male dancers. and feel never enough...
incredibly wonderful❤️❤️❤️ I LOVE YOU!!!
How can 23 people dislike it? Omg, BRAVOOO!!!
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Richard you have a way with words,total class and so true! Svetlana is a true Angel on earth! There is another Prima that drives me crazy and her name is Viviana Durante, she makes me feel the same way,they both possess a stage presence which most Prima's dream of.
I loved Viviana Durante todo. The best Aurora.!
Ella es la mejor❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
It will never be danced better.
Richard again your right,her height puts her on top and gives her that commanding presence on stage and she knows it,she is the best in the world in my book.
Geniales...Gracias.
Lovely. Just ... Lovely.
Será que existe no mundo arte mais linda?
Creio que não...
MARAVILHOSO... APAIXONANTE... LINDO D+
best ever of the ballet world
her quality of movement is amazing
Superb !!!
This woman is dazzling!
Oh gosh, they're perfect! Sveta is a goddess!
Not the conductor's fault or hers.. there's another vid on yt of the identical performance but the music is in perfectly in sync (or should we say she in perfectly in sync with the music haha). could be a problem with the video file..
Just gorgeous.
INCOMPARABLE. TWO DANCE GENIUSES. I ATTENDED A LIVE PERFORMANCE IN TORONTO WITH HIM AND LOPATKINA IN SWAN LAKE. HE ALSO DID APPOLO. LOPATKINA WAS HAUNTINGLY ETHERIAL AND HE WAS BRILLIANT, AS WELL. THE RUSSIANS, WITH THEIR TRAGIC HISTORY, ARE THE VERY BEST WHEN IT COMES TO PERFORMANCE ART. PAIN, MISERY AND GREAT ART: YOU CAN'T HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER, SAD TO SAY.
Igor Zelensky; Is Extremely Well-Bred!!!!
Igor.......simplesmente perfeito!!!!!!
Perfect!!!
They are Leaving Behind 'A Floral Scent!' A Nice One!
♥️♥️♥️
Fabuloso, Bravooooooooooo
Thanks for reply...
I just LOVE Igor Zelensky in this.....
Fabuloso
I saw Nureyev starring in this ballet near the end of his career. His solos were astounding; he flew, seemingly suspended in mid-air for seconds. He must have leapt over 15 ft. at 5 to 6 ft. height. It was breathtaking. Even more unbelievable, as we read in the reviews he performed that night with fever up to 103F and was later hospitalized with pneumonia.
She's so perfect. The conductor is crazy. They obviously didn't rehearse together. Their timing matches with music from other performance, this conductor does his own thing.
I think Petipa's choreography rules!
Stupendiiiiii...
She's the best dancer NOW
excellent
SHE'S SO FIERCE!
I blush and thank you. By the way, I do have an 10-year-old video of a Royal Ballet "Sleeping Beauty" with Durante as Aurora. Extraordinary dancer with faultless technique. She doesn't have Zakharova's height, but she makes up for it with breathless balances and lots of charisma.
I forgot to mention Viviana's smile,its priceless and thats what makes me crazy about her...
I' m agree with you it is the conductor that have to follow the coreographie at the time but first of all he have to see the rytme and the moviment danced by the dances solists isadorazadora
His leaps are sooo high! I wish I could do that o.o
trop beau avec des rois de la danse!!!!!!!!!!

@thefourandonly1 Agreed, seem like the orchestra or the conductor and dancers were out of sync,but still a great presentation.
I’m legitimately crying
it's probabaly because the tempo is fast and her legs are extremely long. but i super like them more anybody else's. i noticed in some ballerinas that they tend to turn their legs in during the last half.
If you're referring to the male solo, it's the dancer who is behind in first solo. Admittedly, the music is a bit stiff and the film is poor, which may account for some of the synchronization being off.
Beautifully danced, perfection, but no lift at 2.15, how strange !
Russian fouettes are different. They go strait side and then beat the foot back/front in posse. They do not go forward to make a circle at all.
amazing! look at her pointed feet!
The choreography was changed a bit! Couldn't he raised Svetlkana/? They both are fantastic dancers.
One problem was the conductor he must keep one eye on the dancer and the other on the music! He was late often,but still a great performance!
Co-Concert-Master de 1971 à 1983
No one is out of the music, there's just a little displacement. Otherwise Svetlana is amazing!
damn that lady's flexible...even for a ballerina
wow her technique is amazing, then and now! anyone know how old she is now?
She is 45 this year (2024).
The conductor! I heard Svetlana slapped him after the performance,don't mess with this Prima who is probably the best in the world...
Richard is this performance on DVD?
My Secret Garden can you tell me where I can obtain the Dvd of this performance?
grande svetlana*.*
good
Peacock is this available on dvd?
that's because the conductor was going to fast and she had 2 speed up.
@chamuda610 I know what you mean. But for Corsair it is just about OK.
They leave out most of the lifts in the adagio - why?
This great dancer, artist Igor Zelensky became 'persona non grata' in Germany and was forced to leave the Bayerisches Staatsballett as artistic director in April 2022 because he has a relation with the youngest dauchter of Vladimir Putin (she was also a dancer). The couple artistic lovers have a dauther. Art is not the same as politics, even when a presidents dauther is 'part of the game' just because she is the dauhter... Tssss... Let fine arts be part of peacemovements to finish all the wars ! Never ever sanctions to art and artists!
Totally agree with you. He did a great job there as its artistic director. The West's hypocrisy is nauseating. Some EU countries buy LNG from Russia.
She was born in 1979..
I doubt it. This was probably televised in Russia but I can't be positive.
i know people may hate me for saying this but i honestly think that svetlanas fouette turns are too hyper looking. of course they are extremely clean and technically perfect & i know she does the russian style, but i hate how her leg like flings out. it doesnt look delicate like a ballerina. srry thts just my opinion!
Is not the conductor, is Igor... He always do the same even with recorded music. Don't know why
Yes and also deaf!
Is this even possible
there is something wrong with that conductor
everything out of music!
Forgive me..but in my book Zakharova knocks the rest of them out of the park!!!.....Just an opinion..
NATALIA DO IT BETTER
So freaking skinny
He is great. Her technique is excellent. but that 's all she has technique. She has no charisma, no emotion.
100% agree! She's a beautiful dancer, but I'd rather watch Natalia Osipova every day of the week.
+Danielle Meyer Osipova is a tomboy, should have been a rhythmic gymnast. Ballet without grace is not ballet. Doesn't exist a dancer in the world who's able to move her uper body quite like S. Zakharova. Honestly i don't care about her technique - she could be falling all over the place for all i care - as long as she keeps on moving her arms and hands like THAT...
+Myrddin Wyllt I find her very charismatic. But that's a matter of opinion as every dancer has a different way to transport emotion.
He does in his expression! Content and Loving!
@@dmcarine Then why don’t you ?
и еще ,просто смотреть противно ,когда не музыкально танцуют и такие люди еще руководят балетными труппами,богатый русский язык все таки ...у нас главное крышу хорошую иметь в правительстве ......
