she reminds me of the the old ballet legends, theres something kind of raw about her dancing and yet she has the perfect technique of ballerinas now a days..... a rare and perfect combination, especially for giselle!!
I have seen Giselle 100s times and performed the ballet on many occasions. I have never seen this entrance done anything like this. She takes an idea and makes it manifest physically. Pure magic to me.
Don't care about any of the criticisms levelled at her: that elevation and ballon is astonshing to see - a rare gift - and she's a wonderful ballerina.
What are they saying about her exactly? Is it technical or something? I’m glad she did performances with the Royal Ballet…….I’ve seen a few performances online where the conduct couldn’t synch well and she was rushed. It’s annoying when that issue happens in this particular scene in the ballet.
Phenomenal! I think Giselle is probably the greatest ballet ever performed! Not only the beauty of the Ballerina’s but...The awesome story line is most enjoyable!
@annamicro Osipova stands out amongst the bumper crop of current topflight ballerinas in three ways; her physicality, her amplitiude and her personal stage charisma. Everything Osipova dances looks bigger, grander and more full-scaie. She devours space like no ballerina I’ve ever seen. The physical impact of her dancing is indelible, every movement registers as an arresting visual impact in the mind. And as for her charisma, that ’s a quality that cannot be taught. It’s innate.
Nessuna...mai come Lei. Ha tutto ciò che tutte le danzatrici hanno avuto ed hanni...ed ha tutto ciò gli umani non hanno...è SOPRANNATURALE...che dire altro❤
Every time I watch this video, I cannot believe how amazing Natalia is. Many ballerinas have performed this role, and many do beautifully, but Natalia's interpretation is especial. There is a Cuban ballerina from the 1980's whose name is Marta Garcia. There are a few videos on TH-cam about her. She also has an amazing transformation even though her time is quite different than Natalia's: 1980's versus 2016.
I saw Osipova at Covent Garden this week = her Giselle was amazing - full of dramatic interpretation and her white act was so beautiful - light as a feather I will never forget it
I cannot explain what it is about Osipova, but she is the superior prima ballerina to all others! Every single time I watch her, no matter what character she is in, she never fails to give me chills up and down!! Wow!
so lucky to have seen her perform this very ballet live... and her live performance is even more so ethereal as in this video....! Indeed a true ballerina!!
Wow, the ethereal quality that most ballerinas would die for. She is the best Wili Giselle ever. "Giselle changed into a butterfly" accurately describes her, the way she dances starting @ :37. She looks like a butterfly, the reincarnation of souls.
Woah! I have only recently discovered her and her speed is amazing! What a stage presence too! It's not all that common to have the audience applaud during the middle or portions of a performance. However, here, it is well deserved! Bravo!
@pepercat17 Yes - thank you! That's it exactly! the freed Giselle is recalling the joy in dance she felt as a peasant girl, but as a wili now: that is also what the music is telling us. The earth can hardly hold her down. Her interpretation and that floating spaciousness work completely for me. I just *love* this!
I played Giselle once in ballet. It took me a long time to get those spins right, but even after I finally got them down hers looks SOOO much smoother then mine! It’s like she’s floating!
@pepercat17 Natalia Osipova has her unique style. She is incredible fast in her movement, extremly athletic, although she is ... tiny. I think she is the best Giselle i have ever seen, outstanding this variation. For example, no Prima Ballerina can reach her Kitri or Esmeralda.
she lucked like she was flying when she was doing those jumps woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
@Leirix61 I have not seen her do those variations, but those roles deman a high technical level and not so much as in a "soul" per-say as those were choreographed when the time was to show off the dancers ability and less on the actual feel of the character like the era Giselle was made
I am old enough to have seen Fracci do this onstage in the 1960s when she was at the top of her game. I don't deny Osipova's legendary speed and power, but the thing is, in my view, these almost get in the way. I also saw many Giselles. And I have never yet seen matched the melting beauty of Fracci's second act, especially her portes de bras. Her very fine technique is almost unnoticeable because of how she embodied Giselle. In this ballet, that should be the point. It has to be about more than speed and jumps. And poster below who noted timing off is correct. Maximova I was too young ever to see onstage. Ulanova coached her first her first Giselle. Footage is only available of her doing the lond second act adagio, and it is the only place I have seen the same sort of achingly beautiful movement. Osipova is a great dancer. But she is not, in my opinion, a great Giselle. It has to be about more than speed and jumps.
Respond to this video… Osipova may not be the cleanest and most classical dancer but there’s no denying her aggressively beautiful technique, her arresting impact, and the way everything she does registers so emphatically with her audience - for better or for worse.
The music is too damned happy for a tragic scene 😂 She's great dancer tho, the transition phase from earth bound to spirit (the spinning) looks great, and after that she looks floaty and weightless. Like a mere breath of wind would enough to blow her away...
She is incredible! I've seen many snipets of her performing this role but unfortunately I'm unconvinced that she's Giselle. It's a shame since her technical prowess is PERFECT for this role, but the overall seems lacking something.
Osipova is incredible BUT if you want to see the real true Giselle, find the 1974 recording of young Nadezhda Pavlova. The 15-year-old girl is unique - the living embodiment of Giselle.
She doesn't just dance, she floats. Exquisite.
She goes along with the orchestra as well as she dances and floats
She doesn't float, she flies
she reminds me of the the old ballet legends, theres something kind of raw about her dancing and yet she has the perfect technique of ballerinas now a days..... a rare and perfect combination, especially for giselle!!
I have seen Giselle 100s times and performed the ballet on many occasions. I have never seen this entrance done anything like this. She takes an idea and makes it manifest physically. Pure magic to me.
Same here! I've never seen her equal in this intro.
Every entrance is like this.
And her timing wasn't the best. She often misses timing which is integral to the routine.
You can like someone but still critique. It's the whole reason they dance.
I’ve been Giselle once!
She did like, wayyyyy better then me at it though lol
gravity clearly doesnt apply to her. one of my favourite dancers 💖

Нереально красиво. Наташа лучшая!!!
Phenomenal! I think Giselle is probably the greatest ballet ever performed! Not only the beauty of the Ballerina’s but...The awesome story line is most enjoyable!
Pete Totaro Yes it is a perfect story to be told by dance. Nothing i n the story is forced.
Tremendous story that has layers and layers of meaning.

Here it is nine years later!
Osipova has always been my favourite, and you explained why for me!
Thank you!
So well said. Couldn’t improve 👍👍🩰🩰🩰👵👵👵🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Nessuna...mai come Lei. Ha tutto ciò che tutte le danzatrici hanno avuto ed hanni...ed ha tutto ciò gli umani non hanno...è SOPRANNATURALE...che dire altro❤
the perfect twirl at the end ❤
Wasn't that just the cherry on top of the sundae?
RAVISHING ❤
gravitation? i dont care! :)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
😂😂😂I was thinking the same thing!!!!

Amazing! She moves with such ethereal grace; and in her jumps she lands silently and springs up again, like her feet never touched the floor. Love it!
I saw Osipova at Covent Garden this week = her Giselle was amazing - full of dramatic interpretation and her white act was so beautiful - light as a feather
I will never forget it
Летит как пух от уст Эола.....супер❤️
@@user-pe3gs7jx3s зависть - самое неразумное и бессмысленное чувство.
Осипова - великолепна!
@@user-pe3gs7jx3s теперь я завидую, неразумно и бессмысленно. А Полунин заценил Осипову, что совершенно очевидно, есть за что!
@@user-pe3gs7jx3s она и без них справилась)
omigosh!!!beautiful!!!!!!i got goosebumps watching this. she makes such a wonderful giselle!
Me too,it was startling: goosebumps tells you something is special.
Such a powerful performance. Amazing - it really seemed like she was in the process of being awakened.
I cannot explain what it is about Osipova, but she is the superior prima ballerina to all others! Every single time I watch her, no matter what character she is in, she never fails to give me chills up and down!! Wow!
Stunning--the turns and the height and lightness of jumps! Giselle is for ballerina with high light jumps.
Наталья невесома... парит!! красавица..!
there is no one like her! she's the best!!!#
Она действительно летает!
Impressive and Magical!!☆ Natalia is Just Stunning As Giselle Fast and Precise and Maria Is the Perfect Myrtha Cold and Calculative!!♡
She is a stunning Giselle, it seems tailor made for her. 💥🌷💐She is floating
진짜 지젤이 혼령이되어서 날아다니는거같다
정말 최고로잘한다~!!
That makes me want to weep. So amazing!!!!!!
I saw her last night and she danced brilliantly, even faster than she does here.
I'm convinced they feed her rubber bands and speed for breakfast in the morning. That's just nuts!
so lucky to have seen her perform this very ballet live... and her live performance is even more so ethereal as in this video....! Indeed a true ballerina!!
she is sooooooooo good!!!!
bravo natalia!
Super!
Волшебный танец! Волшебная танцовщица! Прима!!!
Wow, the ethereal quality that most ballerinas would die for. She is the best Wili Giselle ever. "Giselle changed into a butterfly" accurately describes her, the way she dances starting @ :37. She looks like a butterfly, the reincarnation of souls.

It’s like she’s floating!
Essa sequência que começa com os promenades é uma das minhas favoritas dentre todos os ballets
Goosebumps shot up my arms.
Nobody has her energy, presence AND technique! Just amazing!
Extraordinary!!!
I have never seen such an amazing dancer in my life she doesn’t just dance Natalia levitates when she jumps and floats when she turns 🤍🤍🤍

I saw this live. Very good. I noticed mistakes, but thats because I am a dancer. I'm not sure who was the cast. But I did see the Moscow ballet live.
@Buondelmonte123. Beautifully stated.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
annamicro mi sa che hai ragione... natalia è proprio una bella giselle!
Wow. Exquisite🩰
If someone told me russian ballet dancer have actually super powers I wouldn't doubt it for a second
내가 지젤 2막중 가장 좋아하는 장면 멋있다♡^^
저도 좋아하는 장면인데..! 와 한국인 여기서 만나니까 반갑네요 ㅋㅋ
Giselle is my favourite
Calm down people, her Giselle with David HALLBERG
holy crap o_____O
Best Wili
Even though the tutu makes her lighter, she somehow makes herself even more airy and weightless.
@Arohlwing Galina Mezentseva?
Another ballerina to compare the intensity of Osipova 🌺🌷🌹❤️ was Marta Garcia. Check in TH-cam
Where can I find this video with full opera?
The music is too damned happy for a tragic scene 😂
She's great dancer tho, the transition phase from earth bound to spirit (the spinning) looks great, and after that she looks floaty and weightless. Like a mere breath of wind would enough to blow her away...
Especially ravishing at 1:08
She is incredible! I've seen many snipets of her performing this role but unfortunately I'm unconvinced that she's Giselle. It's a shame since her technical prowess is PERFECT for this role, but the overall seems lacking something.
Giselle is a sheltered, shy maiden. Osipova feels like she's constantly exploding. So...
Q pro
Хорошие диагональки после вертушки. Полноценные прыжки, не зажевала
"вертушка" - мне понравилось такое название)
wow, look at that strength! i bet if you threw her in the hunger games she would kick everyone's ass
Osipova is incredible BUT if you want to see the real true Giselle, find the 1974 recording of young Nadezhda Pavlova. The 15-year-old girl is unique - the living embodiment of Giselle.
