I saw her perform it live in 1962. I was 12. I remember it vividly. I don't remember a thing about the rest of the evening, except that afterwards, in the lobby, none of the adults talked about anything else.
In 1966 my fiancé and I were thrilled to attend Swan Lake with Maya Plisetskaya as principal dancer at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver during the Bolshoi’s visit. Celebrating 56 years of marriage this week and still cherish that memorable evening.
She was definitely 62. I was one of the Producers of the event and I looked up her birthdate. She danced full length ballets as part of the festival including Anna Karenina which was almost 3 hours long. She was dancing for most of it. She was truly amazing.
One of the best performances ever! She doesn't seem to have bones in her arms. That was her signature everytime she performed it. We are watching a real swan approaching it's death. And ultimately...passing away! In a most dignified and beautiful way it can ever be!!!💎❤️🙏🌹
Wow, that's just stupendous. It made me cry. I could really see the swan, fighting to live. This is the only version of The Dying Swan that I think compares with Anna Pavlovas, which is also tear-inducing.
62 - incredible. Beautiful! I also applauded in front of my PC screen. Actually, a few years before this recorded video, I also saw her on the stage in Japan. This reminded me of her great performance at that time.
This ballerina looks absolutely ageless, I mean her body and her strength. But the great artistry has come with age. Her dance now is more touchy and more perfect that it had been 20-30 years ago in her career. I recall, watching this clip, Elina Macropulos from the famous play of Carrel Capec "The remedy of Macropulos" - the woman who had mastered singing more than anybody else on the earth because she had had the opportunity to live for 300 years without being touched by aging.
I confirm her age as well, I was also there writing for a local paper. The longer intermissions allowed her to rest between acts, but otherwise, there was no discontinuity between her dancing and the company's always-high standards.
Wonderful to see this great artist still performing, and beautifully, when many would have retired. I was lucky enough to see her in "Sleeping Beauty" when the Bolshoi visited the US in the early 1960s. A life of dedication to ballet!
По воле Фокина её Лебедь умер, но ОНА , величайшая Майя, бессмертна во веки веков!/// Par la volonte de Fokine, son Cygne est mort, mais ELLE la grandissime Maya est immortelle dans les siecles des siecles!
Сен- Санс написал в партитуре Лебедь Фокин поставил хореографию Анна Павлова сделала умирающего лебедя гениально у Майи Плисецкой свой вариант Лебедя и это пркрасно
Ο Θεός της έδωσε χάρισμα και σε μας τη δυνατότητα να απολαύσουμε την αρμονία,τη χάρη της.σαν να μην έχει αρθρώσεις.το πιο εκπληκτικό είναι η ηλικία της.το μπόρεσε τόσο μεγάλη! Αυτο είναι το δώρο Του σ εμάς.να την χαρούν πάνω από μια γενιά!! Ένας άγγελος.! Ο κύκνος θα τη ζήλευε..ίσως θαθελε έτσι να πεθανει
I'm sure she was younger than 62 here. What impresses me is how looooong she kept her pointe! Like are her toes made of metal or sth?? Also her arm movements looked almost cgi'd.
stupid comment!! the world has seen Anna pavlova and Caruso and said the same thing ...then there was Maya Plisetskaya and Pavarotti ... and there will be beautiful things in the future we don't know about yet !!!! those "good night bad bad world remarks" like yours are really getting old and boring
This is the most beautiful russia NOT PUTIN! Imagine a world of art, kindness , wisdom ; that we all may be such angelS? ……not covet your neighbor’s country -killing Russians - Ukraine citizens , children ……..so out of the measure called HUMANKIND! SO OUT OF THE BEAUTIFUL:L MAYA !
Κοιτάζεις την Μάγια στον θάνατο τού κύκνου και αναρωτιέσαι αν αυτά τα χέρια έχουν οστά. Νιώθω ευλογημένα που την έχω δει από κοντά όταν ήμουν 10 χρόνων.

Yes, its ! She was number 2 after A. Pavlova in this dance till now ...
Вы абсолютно правы,отмечая и великолепный образ, созданный потрясающей Анной Павловой.
Absolutely beautiful! Her atm movements so elegant and expressive. Moved me to tears with goosebumps 😢 💓
Esce dall'annottato con una fluttuazione dolcemente eterea simbionte all'aere riconducendo passi a musica ed è questa la sua grazia piena
62 - incredible. Beautiful!
I also applauded in front of my PC screen.

Ее забыть нельзя

Nobody ever danced it better than her.
This is beyond beautiful! What talent what discipline she's the epitome of strength and dedication to her performance!
Ho i brividi. Ballerina di una grandezza assoluta.

初めてマイヤの瀕死の白雉を見た時、衝撃過ぎて、感動した。
本当の白鳥のようで…
最高峰のバレリーナだ。

I was at that performance and she was definitely 62. I know, amazing.
@@Mominator100 My Dear friend, Maya was born on November 25,1925. This event took place on March 27,1988, So, she was 62 years and 5 months of age.
She was 62 indeed.
There is a video of her in 1975 as well dancing the dying swan. Are you saying she was almost 50 then?
I rest my case. It looks right
I'm so happy I lived before the entitled generation, so sorry for a world that will never see anything!!!! ever again!
Chill
stupid comment!! the world has seen Anna pavlova and Caruso and said the same thing ...then there was Maya Plisetskaya and Pavarotti ... and there will be beautiful things in the future we don't know about yet !!!!
those "good night bad bad world remarks" like yours are really getting old and boring
THERE IS NO WAY SHE IS 62 HERE
this is 1987. why is it in b&w??
What a pure white form...
