Wonderful roster of principals - so lucky in London. That Giselle clip with Osipova by the way - chills - she truly danced as if possessed.

Doesn't look like she'll ever make it now as a principal. A real shame. I love her dancing with alexander campbell in the blue bird pas de deux. Always thought it was strange why she never made it.
