(guest) hadn't seen Carlos before this year, (shame on me , but have been very busy, practicalities / fatigue, overwork!), but glad to find videos here. I did read that he was having to stop because of " constant pain"...ballet takes a lot from a body......tendons? ligaments? He does " float" beautifully , with the same manly grace of Nureyev. Many thanks for making videos available.☺.
Our teachers had Makarova, Kirkland, Baryshnikov, Nureyev and we have these phenomenal artists. The highest caliber, on a global scale, bar none!!! Acosta...TOP DOG!!!!
It's not your imagination, the air conditioning was not working and this came after her Don Q. Two very strong pieces in one night. Not to mention she had danced the night before and was to perform Manon on Friday.
any of you critics heard of the opening night party and reception? Do you think the artists stayed up a little too long-one glass of wine too much? I think they did a magnificent pas de deux. so shut thine evil lips!!!
It seems that from 2008/9 on he was in very bad shape for several years, it's obvious in many recordings... Seen this with other South American male dancers, too - as soon as they hit their mid-30s they put on weight and get heavy. Why they insist doing classical bravura roles wearing next to nothing is beyond me...
dear friend l can't undrestand why you so furious a dancer is a man and an athlete and is not possible to be all year in full shape,and l like acosta very much,but if you are not blind is clear that in this film carlos is little heavy and less muscolar than usual,but also think that few weeks of rest and diet are necessary,because that kind of water ritention is often due an over workaout,and in fact sometime l saw many dancer ,among them once vladimir vasiliev,out of their ideal shape.
Marvellous🌹🌺 both these great dancers! Thank you!
Amazing moment with 2 outstanding dancers, the Ali’s variation and coda is breathtaking t.Acosta was a magical dancer🍀☘️🌴🌞🌺🌸🌼🌻
Carlos is beautiful, he literally takes flight, and Tamara was wonderful. Bravo,you gorgeous, talented dancers, thank you for such beauty and passion.

I can never watch Tamara Rojo enough when she does fouettés :) and that hint of a smile as she finishes and runs off.... LOVE! IT!
Carlos ...thank you....you are magnificent...and Tamara also what a superb partnership!
Superb fouettes of tamara Rojo🌺🥀🌸

Rojos fabelous turns and fouettès!🌹
Admirable,un placer mirar tal pulcritud en los movimientos y acompañamiento musical
Implácable perfección,hermoso
These two are so perfectly partnered, I love them!
both their fouettes are truly exceptional ! stunning pas de deux !
Carlos eres maravilloso.Tamara the same.
Don’t care what shape he’s in, I could watch him all day long 👏👏👏
Simplesmente Bravo
I LOVE audiences like this that just clearly love ballet. =D
Amazing! The ending tricks are like fireworks!
He is just amazing
Wow amazing
He was one of the best and her was also one of the best.
Bravoooooooo!!!
Que belleza!!.........
BRAVOOOOOO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Miracle!!!
I Didn't matter the shape he was one of the best dancer in the world.

bello!!!!
3:01 beautiful 🔥
BravoooOOOO!!!!
His shirt detracts from his perfection.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Latin power!.
Bravo!
yeah it sounded funny that tempo changing....
NO matter how much he tries, he can never match Tamara (in my opinion)
She is divine!
I believe she is the other way round.
Voilà! Monsieur la Dance!
Carlos was brilliant here obviously but... seen him do this MUCH better
And carrying less poundage.
Perfecto imito en los ultimos segundos como lo hace Misha ¡¡¡¡
Bravi.
Il ne faudra pas essayer de s'envoler, quand on peut faire du terre a terre...n'est-ce pas....?
geniooosss
@Qbendanny - Quite right.
en que momento carlos agarra esa cosa en las manos?
la coda increible
Who many even in their 20 can do that
3:39
Unfortunately, no, I wish I had it.
本物の海賊登場！金髪の海賊にないリアリティーがある。
М-да... Столько лайков собрали... А па де де то не было: каждый танцевал сам по себе. )
i think it was one of his arm barcelets...it'd probably fallen off or got loose or something...
groosoooss
Ella es buenísima pero el bailarín esque es perfecto
magnificant :P but i think ppl can agree that he did this better back when he was 20... sadly...
nobady like barishnikov
right, but the conductor may help a bit in variations :P
великолепно исполненные коды... в мужской вариации неудачный трюк,словно лошадь взбрыкивает... и забавляло формальное складывание рук на груди...

I hope ballet is developing in a more diverse body types, so many more people enjoy.
he's heavy and out of shape though he wasn't that old at the time :(
i've seen better performances from others and also from him in this role
Good f-ing grief!! @redblonde, add a /s, cause people don't get it.

meant to give this a thumbs down... gave it thubs up instead lol
Oh dear, at this point, Acosta has turned into a “gordito”, and his costume is doing him no favours.
may happen because also him is human ,but he is very bad shape in this period ,very fat.
Lousy performance by Acosta.
yes very bad shape for a prof
Bravo!
