Marvelous - what artistry... vivacious, versatile, personal, fresh, charming, full of esprit and understanding of musicality and character. There is such a lightness and transmission of feeling in her dance. She embodies fully what dancing is about - not just fancy steps and choreography - but earnest storytelling. She fully lives the emotion and expression in all her movements. Her dancing represents true soul. Outstanding. Thank you for this deeply gratifying tribute.
You said it so well, you captured her essence and versatility so thoroughly, I can't add more, though I was fortunate to see her onstage dozens of times starting in 1967; privileged to attend rehearsals and classes; and blessed to share a warm friendship with her. I am devastated by this loss, and will miss her as long as I live. But the many videos help. I am profoundly grateful to all who compiled this portrait of Italy's "Carla Nazionale".
you can also be "Extensive" and "expressive" at the same time, one thing does not exclude the other... Si può essere sia estensive che espressive, una cosa non esclude l’altra. A me un collo del piede più elastico alla Guillem non dispiace, anziché il piede rigido della Fracci. Certo espressività al massimo…
Thats what is missing of technique in ballet nowadays, since we started to make bad choices in hypermobility and favouring high extensions instead of strength and stability just watch giselle somewhere min. 16. such amazing stability leaves so much room for real expression❤️
La personificazione della GRAZIA e dell'ARTE! La sua nobiltà d'animo, la classe, la raffinatezza traspaiono da ogni gesto! Quando si guardava danzare Carla Fracci si veniva irradiati da una vibrazione altissima, era un vero incanto! Carla quanto ci manchi!
Un meraviglioso omaggio ad una superba ballerina che ha saputo con grande intelligenza traslitterare tecnica ed interpretazione attraverso la grazia del suo animo e la luminosa varietà dei sentimenti. Un grazie enorme al mio mito di sempre, a Carla, unica e irripetibile!!!
Who needs words when these genius ballerinas tell the story through the movement of ballet. I feel each and everyone of them speaking to me via grace, dignity and movement. Absolute genius. The story of artistry. Breathtaking.
La più grande ballerina di tutti i tempi, secondo me. Aveva una dolcezza, un'eleganza, una fluidità, una freschezza, una leggerezza, una delicatezza e un'espressività che nessun'altra grande ballerina riesce ad avere come lei. La sua danza esprime la gioia e la tristezza, l'innamoramento, la felicità e il dolore fino alla disperazione... esprime i sentimenti, e va ben oltre la bravura tecnica! Io ho avuto il privilegio di vederla ballare dal vivo e di conoscerla, ed è stata un'emozione inesprimibile... La sua Giselle è irraggiungibile... lei ERA Giselle... e la sua morte del cigno è ineguagliabile... E adesso questa creatura meravigliosa non c'è più....
She's so precise, and so elegant - and yet there's nothing contrived or stiff or unnatural about any of her movements. She just seems to genuinely float through the world, as though that's the way her body wants to move. Incredible.
I saw her Giselle in 1968 in New York. She danced the most exquisite Act II I have ever seen, her port de bras melting. She had a radiance that reached the last row in the theatre, and she was a much better technician than she us given credit for. Most of all, she was unique. Today, too many of the techno-acrobats they produce today can barely be told apart. It doesn't matter which one you see, they can all do it all. But Fracci was only Fracci. No one moved like her. How grateful am I that I experienced Fraccu's artistry live, and at her peak. RIP.
What a breathtaking tribute to the great ballerina. Thank you for the videos. Carla Fracci was among the most inspiring ballerinas of the 20th century. Her Giselle was one of the best performances ever along with Galina Ulanova. Her duet with Erik Bruhn was outstanding even though she danced with many legendary male dancers. She was among those who lived and died on stage with complete understanding of her roles. She was a miracle.
Thank you for these beautiful selections. When I was a girl Carla Fracci would enter the stage entrance of Teatro della Scala as I walked to school on the other side of the street; she was sweet enough to wave to me, there on Via Giuseppe Verdi. I saw her dance as often as I could afford to buy a ticket. When she was 54 years old she danced Juliet in Prokofief's Romeo and Juliet in the courtyard of the Castello Sforzesco. (a stage had been erected). Fracci, that evening was-- aside from a great artist-- fourteen years old. No adjectives to describe this performance; many people in the audience were in tears from the beauty. Again, thank you for this tribute. RIP Ballerina Assoluta
Прекрасная, восхитительная Карла..!! Артисты балета сначала умирают для сцены, потом для публики, а потом и для своих близких... Это очень жестокое искусство. Остаётся только память, которую кто-то сбережет, спасибо Вам за это!!
She was an exceptional ballerina with excellent technique and outstanding acting ability. I was lucky to see her performed in London several times in the 70s. Thank you Carla, may you rest in peace.

So sorry to hear she has moved on (but I imagine she is enriching the Spirit World with her talent and teaching the angels how to dance!) Thanks so much for this compilation! I saw her live as Juliet when she was in her 40s and she seemed to embody the idea that Juliet either has to be young herself or matured to the point that she can recall and recreate that youthful element.
I knew that Carla Fracci had a good reputation in Giselle, but this video condenses her technical expressiveness and its elegance and charm. Great, thank you.

Thank you from heart for this fantastic transmission - I did not know of her passing - I met her in San Francisco with Ted Kevit and Ivan Nagy, members of the American ballet Theater. What a star Carla Fracci was. Thank you again for putting it all together, I know it was not easy for you. Grazie grazie
I count myself privileged to have seen Carla Fracci dance Giselle in Melbourne, about 1976. She was partnered by Kelvin Coe, and their portrayal of love surviving death has remained a highlight for me to this day. Thank you for this beautiful tribute to a dancer who has brought joy to thousands.
Фраччи великая балерина Ее техника и пластика скрывается за танцем Она создаёт незабываемые образы Очень ж ивая Все в танце Ничего искусственного Просто танец А Жизель неповторимое искусство И это трогательное обаяние Какая прекрасная
What flowing musicality! And such a charming personality with versatility of style! Her technique for those days was phenomenal too. A truly great ballerina! Thank you for showing her in snatches of the various roles in which she excelled! Another thoughtfully planned and historically precious compilation. Thanks Bundu Ballerina!
@@TheBunduBallerina I have an ABT Giselle with her and Erik Bruhn but it's on VHS and I no longer have a way to watch it (sob). EDIT: Oh, that's my copy of Giselle you used! I recognized Bruhn and Toni Lander as Myrtha!
She would still stick out in a crowd of great ballerinas but I wonder if today she would struggle to be noticed with company directors (Bolshoi, I'm looking in your direction) going for long arms and legs and crazy high extensions. One would hope her strength, speed, and musicality would count for something...
Carla Fracci was not only a Ballerina....She was Prima Ballerina of Milan Ópera Ballet ❤️ 👍🏻 🌹.and and a excellent actress.Unique, tatent, clever like nobody, musicality, feeling, gracefull, elegant, a Prima Ballerina who has inspired others Ballerinas.... like me. I will never forget her!!! She will be forever in our souls and hearts!!! Dance now in the Paradise's God, Angel. 🙏🏼😇❤️🌹🩰
Thank you so much for this beautiful tribute to an utterly exceptional ballerina. Just to think that only four months ago, upon taking up his post as Director of Ballet at La Scala, Manuel Legris called upon Carla Fracci to do a long coaching session on Giselle. You can find it on TH-cam in two parts: "Masterclass di baletto con Carla Fracci Teatro alla Scala". Your video tribute was bittersweet for the inclusion of the Fracci/Patrick Dupond pdd, Dupond whom we also lost so recently. Thank you again - such beauty and grace.
Carla Fracci riposa in pace. Rimarrai sempre nei nostri cuori. Hai marchiato a fuoco tutti i personaggi da te interpretati. Sei sempre stata e rimarrai UNICA.
Wonderful video. There is something rather special in her dancing. I am so pleased that this video has given me such a valuable and beautiful learning experience.
Wow what a BEAUTIFUL DANCER ❤️Interesting to see how strong the acting skills have been present in the past. Time changed, where now, the acting skills aren't as strong as they have been, but the abilities to be faster, higher and stronger.. LOVE BOTH TIME VARIATIONS⭐
BRAVISSIMO!!! TRIBUTE TO THE PRIMA BALLERINA ASSOLUTA CARLA FRACCI. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 I saw La Belle Epoque of FRACCI 1967/1974 with ABT. The first ballet i saw was Giselle 1967, with FRACCI and ERIK BRUHN at the OPERA HOUSE at The BROOKLYN Academy of Music in Brooklyn NEW YORK. I fell in LOVE. Her stage presence was magnetic, magical, one of the greatest and most musical ballerinas in the 20th century. BTW, B.B. That picture you posted is Alessandra FERRI. Please find one of FRACCI. GRAZIE!!!
@@TheBunduBallerina It's an interesting error though. Alessandra Ferri, with her expressiveness and beautiful arm work seems to me a link to Carla Fracci. I think there must have actually been a relationship between them. Maybe Alessandra studied with Carla?
Thank you for this video compilation. The first time I've seen he dance. What an amazing face, and joy of dance. Very light. Her feet fascinate me. her arches are quite straight and that appears to be uncommon these days. She looks like she's only just on pointe. Thank you also for all the commenters descriptions of her dying swan. It sounds like a must see.
Carla Fracci, uma das maiores bailarinas do mundo. Sua arte e elegância emocionou plateias em todo planeta. Grande tributo. Muito obrigado. Saudações do Brasil.🌹
What a treat this compilation has been. A stunning dancer with a warm and entrancing stage presence. Something has gone wrong in ballet to my mind, it now looks more like gymnastics performed by undernourished dancers. Carla’s dancing has a softer side and she draws the audience into the story; it must have been wonderful to see her dance on stage. Thank you for this film.
I believe she must be respected as a great prima in a ever evolving lineage. Luckily for us all ballet is moving forward and we must likewise respect contemporary stage artists, without falling in a personality cult on the wave of emotion for her passing. I haven't seen her on stage and, while watching her on video, I must say that the performances are, more often than not, outdated. It's life! It's like watching legendary soccer matches of the past... Unforgettable and framed in their historical moment. Let's recognize where ballet is coming from and enjoy it without unfair comparisons)
@@apeplave6524 OUTDATED?? You’re out of your mind! Every dancer, every ballet performed since say 1955 is MOST CERTAINLY as of today. It is NOT outdated at all. The ballerinas of the 1900s to 1950 are outdated…..Pavlova, and all those long Russian names I cannot spell. Oh yes, Spetssisova, or similar spelling - the one who sadly went mad. THOSE ballerinas and ballets are outdated. NEVER Carla!
Thank you so much for this beautifully done tribute. I was lucky to see her dance many times when I was a child, and she was my idol. When I danced I always had her in my mind. Fracci was such a rarity in that she really WAS the person she was portraying. She was a real human being on stage with so much emotion conveyed in her beautiful, expressive face and body. At the same time her technique and strength were perfect and effortless, she seemed to float in the air when she jumped and silently landed. I still remember her amazing Coppelia with the incredible Paolo Bortoluzzi, her Giselle with Eric Bruhn, and so many other performances. I wish everyone could have seen her perform live. RIP To me she was a Prima Assoluta. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this beautiful compilation and tribute. I saw her once in the 60's (Giselle) and she was unforgettable. Wonderful to encounter her again here on TH-cam.
Thank you for posting this remembrance of Carla Fracci. I hadn't realized she had died. Certainly Giselle was her signature piece. So interesting to watch her now, as ballet has come such a long way from her ballet apex. Enrapturing because of her interpretation of the roles, in a way, transcending ballet, and not to forget her personal beauty. Very rare to see the Rose Adagio done as well as she did it.
Marvelous - what artistry... vivacious, versatile, personal, fresh, charming, full of esprit and understanding of musicality and character.

I believe she must be respected as a great prima in a ever evolving lineage. Luckily for us all ballet is moving forward and we must likewise respect contemporary stage artists, without falling in a personality cult on the wave of emotion for her passing. I haven't seen her on stage and, while watching her on video, I must say that the performances are, more often than not, outdated. It's life! It's like watching legendary soccer matches of the past... Unforgettable and framed in their historical moment. Let's recognize where ballet is coming from and enjoy it without unfair comparisons)
@@apeplave6524 OUTDATED?? You’re out of your mind! Every dancer, every ballet performed since say 1955 is MOST CERTAINLY as of today. It is NOT outdated at all. The ballerinas of the 1900s to 1950 are outdated…..Pavlova, and all those long Russian names I cannot spell. Oh yes, Spetssisova, or similar spelling - the one who sadly went mad. THOSE ballerinas and ballets are outdated. NEVER Carla!
@Margaret Lavender Olga Spessivtseva. And SHE isn't outdated, never will be, a much better Giselle than the sickly -sweet vomit-inducing Carla Fracci.
Grazie per la condivisione , meravigliosa ballerina r.i.p 💙
Grazie
Thank you for sharing. I remember her so well with ABT. Truly magnificent
Unica, inimitabile♥️😍
Thank you so much for this beautifully done tribute. I was lucky to see her dance many times when I was a child, and she was my idol. When I danced I always had her in my mind. Fracci was such a rarity in that she really WAS the person she was portraying. She was a real human being on stage with so much emotion conveyed in her beautiful, expressive face and body. At the same time her technique and strength were perfect and effortless, she seemed to float in the air when she jumped and silently landed. I still remember her amazing Coppelia with the incredible Paolo Bortoluzzi, her Giselle with Eric Bruhn, and so many other performances. I wish everyone could have seen her perform live. RIP To me she was a Prima Assoluta. ❤❤❤
Thank you for your wonderful comment!
Not a Prima Ballerina Assoluta.
🤩 Beautiful! Stunning!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this beautiful compilation and tribute. I saw her once in the 60's (Giselle) and she was unforgettable. Wonderful to encounter her again here on TH-cam.
Thank you, too. You were very fortunate to see her in Giselle!
Thank you for posting this remembrance of Carla Fracci. I hadn't realized she had died. Certainly Giselle was her signature piece. So interesting to watch her now, as ballet has come such a long way from her ballet apex. Enrapturing because of her interpretation of the roles, in a way, transcending ballet, and not to forget her personal beauty. Very rare to see the Rose Adagio done as well as she did it.
Bellissima
В музыке Шопена Фраччи полностью перевоплотилась в существо совершенно балетное Вся из света музыки. и волшебства танца
Thank you for this loving and well done tribute.
Thanks a lot 💞
