H182 DVD Ballet Giselle Svetlana Lunkina & Dmitry Gudanov Bolshoi Ballet 2011 ★★★ Condition: New, Unopened. The images shown are from a previous viewing of a different product. Recorded: 2011, Bolshoi Theatre. I think the picture quality is very beautiful. Time: 109 minutes [Import] [Region ALL] Can be played on a regular DVD player. In previous Bolshoi Giselle performances: Grachova Natalia Bessmertnova, 1990, 47 years old, a bit older, isn't she? Lyudmila Semenyaka: 1993. Most of these works are hard to find. The direction and choreography of this era are preserved, but especially in the Lunkina version, the costume design and color scheme are particularly wonderful, and the traditional Bolshoi production is superb. It's a stage performance that's like a model of Giselle, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind. I can't find a ballerina who suits the delicate, beautiful, and frail village girl like Lunkina. In the second act, she dances with a blank expression. Can a person really remain expressionless like that...? Please pay attention. Lunkina is simply wonderful. ★★★ Quoted from web reviews below, please use as a reference. This is the well-regarded Lunkina's Giselle. I don't think there's a principal who is a better fit for the village girl. In the mad scene, you can see the tears overflowing from Lunkina's big eyes up close. Watching Lunkina's performance, I was moved by Giselle's heartbreaking feelings of having to help Albrecht, and I cried. "Even if I was deceived, I want to help the one I loved..." There may be preferences, but it's amazing how she can express emotions without moving her face much. It's a Giselle that captivates with Lunkina's interpretation, innate qualities, and skill. When she was selected for the premiere of the revised version of Giselle in 1997, what Vasiliev saw in the 18-year-old Lunkina remains unchanged to this day. It was the atmosphere of being Giselle just by standing there in a Givenchy costume, and the quality of being able to continue to work hard honestly. It seems she has honed her interpretation and expression by continuing to act. There may be dancers who are more skilled than Lunkina in technique alone, and there are preferences when it comes to interpretation and expression, but I, who love Lunkina, am finally satisfied to have the full performance in my hands.
