She is ballerina of more than principal quality, an EXCEPTIONAL principal ballerina with sensitive musicality plus originality beyond her technical cleanliness! She has deserved this status from the outset. Luckily she has been dancing principal roles all along, as she deserved, and to great admiration. Her loyalty and endurance have also been impressive! Much more than WELL DESERVED! 👏👏👏
Agree 💯this ballarina is super super special and unique! Definitely underrated ❣️
I love her and am so happy she is long overdue-such beautiful positions and exquisite moves and timing-never understood why they overlooked her at all-she is such a beautiful ballerina in all ways!
GORGEOUS ALL THE WAY THRU HER FEET!!! MAGICAL 👑 OLESYA!👏🙌🌷🌷🌷
Yes, incredible musicality! Absolutely stunning. Have her on DVD IN RAYMONDA, a superb performance and should have been promoted then... PRINCIPAL AND NOW PRIMA STATUS LONG OVERDUE... ..B r a v a !
@@jillwintz379 She is an amazing woman - a perfect ballerina and mother of four children. Bravo!
She has a totally unfussy technique which makes everything look easy, and she performs as though she had all the time in the world whatever the tempo. Her pointe work is exquisite, as are her arms. She is is petite but that does not stop her from using the whole stage. Her acting and stage presence are of the highest order. I'm very happy about her promotion and I hope we can continue to enjoy her performances for many more years.
I thank you for this detailed description of her special qualities. So very well said!
@@dancingbluecrane2813 You are very kind. I enjoyed your perceptive comment of yesterday. You are right to point to Novikova's exceptional musicality.
Yes, well said. Clean and calm. Even when her right pointe shoe suddenly dies on her in the 2nd variation. She just soldiers on, keeps her composure, sails her way through single pirouettes, and sells it!
@@lburgess63 So calm, I missed that. Could you point me to the timing in the video?
@@elizzy8754 At about 2:33 (your timing may vary), during her hops on point diagonal, you can see the shoe on her supporting foot start to go. It's pretty subtle. But hops like this shoes, since it's your full body weight multiplied by the force of the hop. To spot it, replay the diagonal, and look at the angle of her foot, especially at the big toe. She starts very strong; the shoes are obviously plenty hard, judging by the look of her pointed feet. But as she works the diagonal, she's gradually sinking in her shoe. Then, on the third hop (or fourth, sorry, check it) you can spot a nasty surprise as the shoe collapses at the throat (look at the change in the angle of her ankle). She holds it just fine, although I bet that final hop is basically brute strength and adrenaline. Then she has the entire second half to get through, which she does like a boss and the pro she is. Focusing only on the overall picture, and you'd never guess anything was amiss. But it's not like the woman can't do double turns, as the rest of this video proves decisively. I bet once in her dressing room, she ripped those suckers off and threw them at a wall or something.
God knows why the Mariinsky has taken AGES to recognize her as the prima ballerina she’s been for so long...... but for her audiences she’s always been the absolute BEST !!!...... 👏🏼👏🏼🌟🌟🥰🥰
Для нас, ее зрителей, она давно прима наших сердец!
Невероятная эстетика и музыкальность движений- единственная белерина, сочетающая в себе артистизм, нежность лирических героинь, глубину драматических образов,профессионализм, очарование, грацию и что-то неуловимо притягательное -невозможно оторваться от экрана , когда видишь ее выступление. Именно ее выступления влюбили в балет.
Она особенная, невероятно талантливая, даже слов не нахожу, чтобы выразить свои впечатления. Увидела её по интернету несколько лет назад и сразу обратила внимание, с годами она танцует лучше и лучше. Отношусь к ней с восторгом как к балерине, она именно танцует, академично, музыкально, очень красиво, всегда костюмы с большим вкусом. Уважаю как умного человека за правильные взгляды на жизнь и семью, она просто молодец, троих деток родила и в такой идеальной форме. Сейчас артистки балета замуж выходят, деток рожают, сочетают творчество и личную жизнь, можно только порадоваться, раньше это было практически невозможно. Леонид Сарафанов вызывает огромное восхищение, танцовщик каких в мире единицы. Счастья их семье.
Spasiba!
Уже четверо. Сын родился в июле 2022 года.
Согласна с Вами, она необыкновенная - во всех отношениях! Уникальная балерина и редкий человек!
Yessss finallyyyy! She's not just a prime, she's a legend! 💕💕
LEGEND, RIGHT ON !
The beautiful Olesya Novikova the World's Prima, finally made a Prima in her own Company. My very best to Olesya, Leonid Sarafanov, another of the world's top dancers, and their three children.
I hope to be alive & well to witness which of Olesya & Leonid's children will be a reflection of their parents. PHENOMENAL in ballet! It's inevitable with these two GREAT souls!🙌
Four children now.
Jane Austen in ballet shoes, she is a beautiful, nostalgic ballerina, I love her.
A long march of glory, full of expectations, hard work and loyalty to the cause of ballet.
Great news about the de jure well-deserved status, but in fact Olesya Novikova has been a prima for many years. I am very happy for Olesya! Huge congratulations to the incomparable artist!

Какая воздушная ,изящная балерина!Отточенные, чистые, плавные движения .Браво!Смотреть истинное удовольствие.
Finally the long deserved promotion took place! Congratulations to this magnificent ballerina!❤️❤️❤️❤️💐👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes, indeed! Thanks for your comment.
The more I watch Oleysa’s performances the more impressed I am. There’s something beyond her absolutely flawless technique and her musicality, that makes her truly special even in today’s world of fabulous dancers.
Well-said.
It's been so long waiting for her to be promoted. Congratulations, Olesya👏👏👏. I feel like she should've deserved this rank years ago.
Absolutely! She was Prima caliber from her earliest years! Thanks for your comment.
@@TheBunduBallerina exactly! Osmolkina and Batoeva also. They are amazing.
Да, уж, слишком долго терпеливо ждала.
Congratulations to Olesya!
I am a huge fan. She has a unique combination of qualities that make her my favorite active ballerina in several ballets including Raymonda and The Sleeping Beauty.
When she is on stage Magic happens!
Absolutely true! Magic does indeed happen when she is on stage!
Gorgeous dancer. Amazing technique, musicality and striking face. She is gorgeous.
She really is just stunning
Congratulations! Tha great Olesya Novikova.
Wow…. She’s spectacular!!!…. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes, indeed!
She has always been committed to ballet and her family. She is an primary example of patience and strength as she practiced endlessly to perfect each role, then she went home to care for her family with the same dedication. We are very privileged to experience Olesya's ascension to the top and watch her videos. Of course, watching her perform live would like hitting the lotto. Thank you always, C. ❤❤💕💕🌹🌹
Absolutely, yes!
Прекрасный комментарий! Спасибо!💐💐💐💐💐
Honestly, I love her Giselle so much....well done !!
What has taken so long to promote this virtuoso to her rightful place as Principal! Discovered her on DVD as RAYMONDA.. Flawless technique, every move enchanting. The arabesques breathakingly balanced , the impeccable musicality and warmth of her smile ......Congratulations , Oleysa Novikova! About time! YOU ARE A J E W E L ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️☺️☺️!
rinc
Already prima ballerina in my heart♥️
For me she is a Prima Ballerina since years! I love seeing her on stage in every part. She is sensitiv, beautiful and and and...And she belongs to the best Auroras worldwide!
Absolutely! ❤️
I think anyone who has been promoted after years and years of beautiful dancing and a beautiful attitude toward her chosen career needs heartfelt congratulations 👏 She has been a wonder for so long with her beautiful ( sorry, I’ve used that word too often vut she completely deserves it) dance. Many and heartfelt congratulations to you young lady. Admiration and good luck from 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Lovely ethereal, effortless, floating quality and charm! So difficult to achieve. Beautiful in every way.
Wonderfully Precise Technician!!! Queen 👑Olesya!🔥🔥🔥
Prima ballerina assoluta! ❤️
Absolutamente!
Je ne connaissais pas cette jeune femme ! Elle est magnifique et si jolie et très talentueuse
Je suis très heureuse pour elle
Je lui souhaite tant de jolies choses 💖
Merci beaucoup!
She has the sort of expressiveness I only know of photographies of the Ballets Russes (and missed it terribly in modern dancers). What a sensitive being and what musicality. I have finally found my favourite ballerina.
So well said! Thank you and so glad you found your favourite ballerina. Novikova is at the top of my list, too!
I feel the exact same way that you do. She is without a doubt my favorite ballerina. I also am a fan of Skylar Brant, she was promoted to principal about a year ago, she's young, her drive is amazing and very young. She is extremely warm and kind as well. Definitely will one to look out for, she's so petite but has the strength of a bull.
Absolute Brilliant of Russian Ballet!
Olesya es una bailarina fabulosa con personalidad propia, me parece merecidísima la promoción. ¡Bravo!
Very good news. She waited so long and with such grace. I’m so happy for her.
Congratulations to this beautiful and exceptional ballerina!
She is not only a great ballerina but also she shows the joy of dancing
Finally is the word. She is warm, poised, tender, elegant, sprightly...adorable, sublime!
All your adjectives describe Novikova perfectly! Thank you.
Beautiful and incredible Olesya💕💕💐💐
She's totally out-of-this-world. Perfect!
LOVELY DANCER♥️💛💙Best Wishes and Blessings to this Exquisite Ballerina!
Особенный талант!Уникальная танцевальность!Все остальные побледнели!
Великолепно! Олеся получила давно заслуженный титул!
Great news. Long overdue!!
Yes, indeed!
I have never used the word "perfect" when it comes to ballet, but I feel she is the closest to perfection to me. I'm sure everyone has an Idea of perfection but it's different for everyone. Threw my eyes and my knowledge of ballet, she is by far the best!! Brava!!
I agree that she is one of the few who seem perfect to the very finger tips and the changing headlines and musicality etc. The marvel is that when she dances with her husband Leonid Sarafanov they BOTH dance with lines of perfection also in jumps and lifts!
@@dancingbluecrane2813 Yes, they are amazing together their chemistry is felt by everyone who has seen them dance together, as a now retired dancer, it's very hard to have much of a romantic life without someone who understands that dance is what comes first, it's our career. I also have dated other men who thought it was "so cute" that I was a ballerina. I didn't like that at all. It's not "cute" it's my life and takes energy that they will most likely never experience, on the flip side, I never wanted to date a co worker, but men in other companies was ok for me. It differs for everyone.
Congratulations
She deserved it, like nobody else!
Absolutely, yes!
WOW!!! She is absolutely ASTONISHING!! I'm a new and now TOTAL FAN!! AMAZING!! 😱♥️
I'm so happy that this finally happened! This is the most deserved and long awaited promotion of Novikova, this compilation is perfect!
Yes, absolutely. Thank you!
She is just perfect!
She has always been committed to ballet and her family. She is an primary example of patience and strength as she practiced endlessly to perfect each role, then she went home to care for her family with the same dedication. We are very privileged to experience Olesya's ascension to the top and watch her videos. Of course, watching her perform live would like hitting the lotto. Thank you always,
She's someone I have endless respect for.
Well deserved. I love her dancing. Congrats
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OLESYAAA
🥺🥺
I knew you would make a video for her! You did not disappoint :) I think it is also worth mentioning that Novikova has three children (if I am not mistaken), so she can be very inspiring for female dancers that want to become mothers but are afraid due to the short "perfomance life" of the dancer. Let's hope that she will be dancing more principal roles like odette/odile and nikiya, I cannot think of a role that she wouldn't excel in.
Thanks. Yes, indeed - she excels in all roles. She is incredibly versatile and unbelievably musical and simply unique! Did you see the the excerpts from La Bayadere (Nikiya) in this video at 30:06 and Swan Lake variation at 24:16? I'd love to hear what you think.
@@TheBunduBallerina Yes, thank you so much! I had never seen her Nikiya! I agree, she is incredibly versatile. I liked her in those roles of course. Maybe if she dances them more often she can find her own unique interpretation/phrasing, like she did with Kitri, which was not "her role" in the beginning. But now, even though I think she is the best Giselle in the world, I still somehow cannot tell which is her best role out of Giselle, Aurora, Raymonda, AND Kitri.
You make a very good point about her being an inspiration for other female dancers who love their career but would also like to have children. She does indeed have 3 children and is married to the wonderful principal dancer Sarafanov. Furthermore, when they dance together, one sees a magical ballet partnership! With their three children, and all the work and dedication needed for such exacting high-profile ballet careers, they must have great organisational skills too. Most admirable!
@@kellyantoniadou8897 Thank you for your interesting comments!
@@dancingbluecrane2813 Yes, that is so true. Thank you for your great comments!
Congratulations, very well deserved snd well overdue. I think, to many people around the world, she has been already but it’s nice to have that official recognition. She has superb timing and beautiful musicality 👏👏👏🩰🩰🩰🩰🩰🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
Well said!
Все прекрасно , но как чудесна Жизель Как потрясающе танцует Олеся эту партию Смело, бойко, живо, с огоньком, просто душу вложила в этот чудесный образ Как замечательно Вот бы увидеть с ней весь балет Браво, Олеся
Sensacional !!
Honestly, everybody loves the big known ballerinas 😃B U T Olesya is truly truly a Tresor-ballerina💎. Maybe her technique and sharpness is even stronger than the big named ballerinas.❣️💞I could watch her for hours😃👍🏻 She is a BALLET BEAST 💪🏻
EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID!🔥
Mes félicitations chère artiste, vous le méritez amplement.
Смотрела её в Жизели. Выше всяких похвал!!!
Вот вам повезло!
Может субъективен, но Жизель надо смотреть в Мариинке - это в первую очередь попасть на Вишнёву и на Новикову...
Amazing technique...!
Utterly enchanting! 💕
Потрясающе талантливая балерина! Просто восторг и наслаждение! Спасибо! Олеся - браво!
Spasiba!
I am so glad Olesya was finally recognised as the Principal hat she has already been de facto for many years! To me, she is really magic and unique on stage. Thanks for this magnific video showing many of her outstanding performances in the leading role, it is just amazing...!
Well said!
I was afraid this would never happen, Olesya was persistent and patient, I thought that at some point she would give up
Finally, so happy for her
Поздравляем!!!!!🎉
Beautiful artist, beautiful video. Congratulations to Olesya Novikova! Please tour USA with Mariinsky soon... and don't forget to visit Florida.
minunat!!!!!va multumesc din suflet...,va iubim!!!
все очень понравилось! особенно Раймонда и Джульетта.
Очарована Олесей Прекрасная балерина Дивно хороша Блистательная Лучшие традиции Мариинского театра
AT LAST!!!!!
Yes, this took far too long. It may be due to the fact that she was on maternity leave so often having 3 children. Thanks for your comments as always!
Best of best
Yesssss!!!
Congratulations to the divine Olesya for this well-deserved promotion! I wish her a long career and many beautiful performances. Thank you for uploading this, you never fail to delight with your videos
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words.
Queeeennnnn👑👑👑
I'm glad to know this name, new to me ( a simple amateur through YT): Olesia Novikova, I think I will see others videos of her. She seems to be almost universally loved and admired, bravo to the ballerina, bravo to the mother of three, bravo to the Mariinski for this choice ! And thanks to your video, I also discovered the Legend of Love, I was fascinated by the music and Novikova rendition ! Thanks !
Thank you for your appreciative comment! So glad you discovered Novikova via this video. She is truly exceptional! I'm glad Legend of Love intrigues you. There are many videos of it on RUclips.
If you're interested in watching the whole of Legend of Love, here's a link to russianballetvideos2 upload: ruclips.net/video/QbgAPK0uvg4/видео.html
@@TheBunduBallerina Grand merci, I just have watched it, it is very interesting for me ! And Stepanova as the Queen is more than beautiful...
@@deguilhemcorinne418 It's a great pleasure. Thanks so much for letting me know you watched and enjoyed it.
Bravo bravo bravo fantastic brilliance grandiose genial ballerina super dance
I love watching olesya dance!😍🤩🤗💐
Me too!! 😊💖
Eccezzionale
Новое гениальное явление !
Qu’elle grâce 🥰
Queen👑
Bravo!
Finally!!!! Yay❣
I'm curious, what is the back story of why it took her so long to be promoted? I put her up there with Osipova and Zakharova as among the best living ballerinas, and I actually think she encompasses the Mariinsky ideal more than anyone. The fact that roles as different as Giselle, Kitri, Aurora, Odette/Odile and Gamzatti are equally stunning is just unparalleled in my opinion.
I absolutely agree with you. Novikova is one of the most accomplished, unique and exquisite dancers of all time, right up there with the best of the best! It is very strange that her rightful promotion took so long coming. The only reason I know of that may have held back an earlier promotion is the fact that she was on maternity leave 3 times. She is a devoted mother as well as an incredible artist.
The reason is well known in Russia. Her husband Leonid Sarafanov was a dancer in the Mariinsky theater, but he decided to leave the theatre, dissatisfied with his position there.
So the director Fateyev took revange on Olesia not promoting her. I admire her strength and endurance all these years.
That was fun to watch. Now back to work again.
Bundu Ballerina, thanks for putting this all together.
Thank you for your comments! My pleasure.
she is one of top 100 ballerina, next year could be 1 off top 50
Thank you for your comment. I think O. Novikova is one of the top 10 ballerinas already.
❤❤❤❤❤
❤
Holy cow! Every dance channel I subscribe to has something about her promotion! Thanks for this lovely Compilation. Love the way she just tears up the stage on her pique turns. She has such versatility, and it's nice to see her growth as an artist over the past decade. Allegra Kent blended family and career, right?
Thank you! Yes, it is wonderful to see the world rightly pay Novikova these video tributes. (Regarding Allegra Kent, I don't know enough about her life to answer your question. Perhaps someone else out there knows?)
@@TheBunduBallerina I understand she also had 3 kids and it was unusual for Balanchine to rehire anyone who left for any reason.
@@minissa2009 That's interesting. Thanks.
정말 축하합니다. 당신은 자격이 있습니다.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🤗🕊❤❤❤🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Поздравляю! Фарфоровая куколка из детских грез.
Novikova wasn't a principal???
Unbelievably, she wasn't until recently!
Nice video🌻I'm kinda new to this thing so i have some questions😇 do they announce the new prima ballerina by a special event. Or just announce the promotion?and whats the biggest difference between a prima ballerina and first soloist, considering they both dance lead roles?😇
Thank you. They announce the prima ballerina at the end of one of her performances. In Novikova's case, it was after one of her signature roles, "Raymonda". The director comes on stage with flowers & announces the new prima, after which shimmering confetti falls down on Olesya. Here's the video: ruclips.net/video/0vBEv366OBo/видео.html The main difference between prima ballerina & first soloist is the status & pay. In Novikova's case, her promotion took very long in coming & she was dancing exclusively principal roles, while other first soloist regularly still perform second to lead roles like Gamzatti, Lilac Fairy, Myrtha, etc. Hope that helps.
Does the dancer or audience know in advance that s/he’s being promoted, or is it a surprise?
@@mbg484 depends on the dancer x
@@mbg484 In Novikova's case it was a surprise. There is a video posted by Mariinsky where Terekhova, Novikova's coach, says to Fateyev after the announcement:
Terekhova: You ( the polite/formal "you") could have hinted at least?!
Fateyev: I like surprises!
Terekhova( a bit sarcastically):Yes , that you do!
I would love to have a full Giselle performance from Novikova . Any idea of where i can buy it? May be you could publish it 😊
6:30
Bravo!!Can someone list the name of each pieces?
Please!!
In the description you will find the names of the pieces 😊
Does anyone know which variation that is starting at 4:30?
It is Princess Aurora’s variation from the “Vision Scene” in The Sleeping Beauty”.
@@TheBunduBallerina Ah, thank you! I think this one might suit me....
ну как она на одной ножке порхает! я на двух так не могу..
Фёдор, попытайтесь, я в вас верю
Well deserved and too long in coming..
Yes - indeed.
