Nadia Mullova-Barley

[Katharine Kanter]

There's a rehearsal clip up for Myrtha up, with Nadia Mullova-Barley at the Royal last month

Little K. is impressed. Very impressed.

Despite being six foot tall with simply enormous feet and a long torso, Mullova is highly artistic and musical.

Although a completely different type of dancer from Stojanova here, they are alike in the ability to create CORRECT body-shapes which themselves convey EMOTION without injecting fake "feelings", silly facial expressions, wrinkling the brow, or drooping in an intensely-boring "romantic" way.

And where does the Royal get such excellent rehearsal pianists, living the moment with the dancer???? !!!

Count me in for Mullova-Barley's performances in future.

BTW, if anyone would like to toss a ticket for the Lelli-Stojanova performances in R & J, do feel free to send me a MP!! (I know that's a pipe-dream, but Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained).

I very much doubt she's 6 foot tall.

Pour information, 6 pieds = 1,83 m...

Cela parait effectivement beaucoup (la plus grande danseuse de l'Opéra de Paris, question taille, Agnès Letestu, faisait 1,77 m).
