Martine Van Hamel , hands down is the greatest Myrtha ever . She put the bad in badass Her foot work was amazing. She took the character of Myrtha to a whole new level ! She totally immersed and embraced the true evil that was Myrtha .

Martine van Hamel is one of my favorite Myrthas, along with Monica Mason. What a vision of power, grace, and elegance. And as someone who has danced the part of Myrtha before and understands how exhausting it is, van Hamel never loses her composure. I would give anything to have seen her or Monica Mason on stage as Myrtha!

I’m dancing Albrecht for the first time in Giselle this year and Myrtha and Willis are so fascinating to me! I love that the choreography partnered with music be so old and still so mesmerising 🤍

So happy to find others who appreciated Martine. Still my favorite ballerina of all time. I don't think I've ever seen another Myrtha get in both the promenade and the penchee to both sides and her carriage and port de bras are just so regal. I wish we had more footage of her doing anything! And this was really before she fully matured.

Martine van Hamel is the best Myrtha I've ever seen. Lyrical, beautiful technique, regal and menacing.

Amazing how Martine can jump and land so quietly in Schactner pointe shoes.

Watching Van Hamel in the penchee and how she uses the neck and back to balance and gain height of the raised leg in a tilting effect throughly illustrates what Dame Monica Mason means in the clip coaching a Royal Ballet Soloist in the role the body tilts slowly and controlled with no sharp movement of the neck or back so the effect of a ghostly presence is maintained whilst acheiving a very difficult step and balance and maintaing the position while lowering the leg again

So do I. She seems virtually weightless, it's like she's gliding across the stage. It's amazing!

My only criticism of this is the wilis appearing before the Queen - she doesnt call them up till later But Van Hamel is Supreme and makes you feel she is truly ghostlike and threatening

Van Hamel was amazing, but I think that Myrtha' s entrance without a little steam is not that amazing ( maybe it is just me )
