I don't think I have ever seen such elegance in a variation before this. Gillian Murphy is exquisite and her partner provides just the right counterbalance. I can only wish I had been there.

I’ve seen Gillian Murphy several times and I have my ticket for the met again with Gillian as Odette/Odile. She is beyond exquisite. She is a prima ballerina. If you haven’t seen her perform with a ABT, try your best to catch her performance. She’s one of the very best!❤

Absolutely exquisite. Here is a ballerina who shows us swan qualities right down to her fingertips, there's no holding back and his passion coupled with such tenderness for her, simply provides complete light to the ballet's choreography. I have seen so many swan queens who miss the gentle nuances of a swan, yes they flutter their arms but look at her bourres in the beginning, she give them flight as bird would, they are so small yet so quick, look at her supple back such flexibility and her swan like quality enchants her partner. One of the most magnificent performances ever.

The best part about this video is actually reading the comments by 13-year old almost-dancers critiquing one of the world's best. People who know the difference between ballet and gym class appreciate this as the art it is.

Gillian Murphy is spellbinding. She doesnt move with the same flexibility and precise form as some of the Russian dancers, but she inhabits both Odette/Odile so naturally and easily, its like she was born to play them, and from what I've seen, none of the Russians have that. I know some of you hardcore ballerinas hate Black Swan references, but that's exactly what that movie's about! One act she's the graceful white swan, the next she transcends into the seductive black. effect? "It was perfect"

Really? One of the best things about Swan Lake is that the corps actually gets to get to move around during those 8 minutes instead of just standing there thinking to yourself "do not move, do not move, I know your legs hurt but do not move." And it looks absolutely beautiful.

@choustonlv Believe it or not, they’re a lot better in this video than they used to be. The scruffly, scraggly ABT corps de ballet used to be the joke of the ballet world. Compared to days of old, they look pretty cleaned up here. If you want to see a corps de ballet dancing in truly impressive unison, collective expressivity, and with powerful theatrical presence, look no farther than the Maryinsky/Kirov in the white acts of San Lake. THEY are a wonder to behold.

Not exactly right... If Lous XVI intouced ballet at his XVIIIth century court, it was centuries of evolution before Swan Lan Lake, so your comment is gratuitous.

This is an ok version. The elegance and emotional aspects are imitated from the Russians but of course was not achieved at a high level. At multiple places, the orchestra and violin overshadowed the pair, especially the white swan's movement. The least you want to see on a live stage.

i honestly don't like zakharova very much because when her 'wow' factor wears down, i think she's all flexibility and feet, kicking her legs up behind her head whenever she gets the chance, with the emotional/artistic flair of a brick wall. but i would agree that lopatkina's is probably my favourite variation of this pas de deux.
