Besides the beautiful technique, I was really impressed with artistry in your portrayal of the princess dancing with potential suitors. Specifically, you looked like it was all happening to you for the first time, being approached by suitors, delighted at the gift of a rose... so often the demanding steps cause the performance of this scene to appear studied, not a dance expressing all the emotions of a birthday party for a 16 year old surrounded by handsome suitors. To be honest I have been watching several videos of this young ballerina over the past few months and at times I felt her amazing physical facility overshadowed her artistry and musicality. But in this performance, wow, she just blew me away. Her joy in the dance came across even over the tiny screen of my phone and her movements were so expressive. I love her way of bringing arms up to 3rd position (over he head) and bending slightly to the side while raising her chin, the coordination and largeness of the movement is so memorable. (For example, at 2:11-2:12). This is such a challenging pas de duex. It is impressive to see such a young ballerina execute it with such maturity. Her teachers must be proud.
You said it all, and much better than I could. Such an impressive performance by Masha, as well as her glorious very grand suitors. Thank you for posting!
@@levondelite4072 thanks for the comment! I am wondering if she was particularly inspired bc the performance is in honor of the great Maya P. She definitely seems particularly genuine and mature in this performance, like she is in some way channeling the sparkling precision and joy of Maya and expressing her own version!
You're absolutely right! I think that she's much more "in the role" in this particular ballet because Aurora represents youth, grace, innocence and all these things that apply to a young girl like Masha. The company is counting much on her and they give her plenty of opportunities even in more mature roles (like Bayadere or contemporary choreographies). Even if she's not yet so much in the mentality of those roles, it's very pleasing that she thrives in fresh roles like this!
I also enjoy this video and want to mention not only the dance (wonderful) - but that the performance of Maria brings impression that I believe in this scene with suitors. She is polite with all, a little bit playful as she is a young girl but decent (as she is the princess). I really believe in this scene, well done, Maria. Suitors are also grand and good actors.
I have been waiting for this since I first saw Maria dance. I have seen ALL the greats, most live and the rest on video dance Aurora and Maria is going to be one for the ages.Still a little work here and there but I cannot imagine a more promising debut, especially considering her age!!!! As usual, I could not take my eyes off those arms and wrists. Then there is the beautifully stretched-high grand developpes and the amplitudinous grand battements en rond and finally the last balances en pointe, making beautiful fifth position crowns. No sweat! Not a wobble, not even a quiver!!! She stayed on the music but I do wish she would have prolonged the last one, for the effect (let them know you can stay balanced seemingly forever).But I jumped to my feet applauding. So she does not yet the joyful charisma and coquettish charm that Margo portrayed but then Maria is closer to 16 than Margo was for most of her career dancing this role. I can't see how they cannot promote her to Principal in a year two. The great Alla Sizova is looking down from above very proudly.
It is always a joy to watch you dance with your impeccable technique and grace, but when you do it in such a demanding part as this Rose Adagio, it is plain to see that you are an accomplished artist and an extraordinary ballerina; we see line, style, poise and above all control. What a beautiful way of expressing your appreciation for the great Maya. Bravissimo Maria!
Excelencia.💜 Virtuosismo💜. Talento e inspiración Maria!!!💜. Se ve la mejor escuela de técnica de ballet del mundo: 🌍 La de AGRIPINA VAGANOVA💖🎶👌🔥FUEGO SAGRADO👏👏👏👏👏👏
Еще раз убеждаемся в том, что примами русского балета становятся не просто талантливые танцовщицы, а личности большого масштаба, особенные люди именно по своему уровню энергии, по взгляду на мир и на свою профессию, по глубине понимания того, что они делают. Эта молодая девушка станет одной из самых значимых величин в русском балете, вот предсказываем, и НЕ сглазим!
Dear Maria, one of my wishes came through when I saw you dance The Rose Adagio. Simply gorgeous. Another wish was fulfilled last night (October 17, 2024) when you danced the lead in "Giselle". I wish that I were in St. Petersburg last night to watch you dance that role. I don't think that we Canadians are allowed back in Russia. I was there in January 2007 and saw 8 performances at your magnificent theater. I read that you brought an innocence and freshness to the role of Giselle last night. I have not read a negative review. Here's hoping that someone will post a clip or two of your dancing. I researched if this what your Gisele debut and I could not find out anywhere I read that it was. If you read this, please put my mind at rest. Brava for last night.
Her dancing is incredible! I am not at all a ballet expert, just love watching it. I have a question for someone who knows better than me; When she is on both feet, is her back a bit arched, causing her to be slightly sway backed? Or is it just the angle of the tutu and things like that?
petipa disliked that he was being forced to create a ballet feerie in the style of the visiting italian dancers. he was not a fan of the sleeping beauty. funny how we all view it as the non plus ultra of classical ballet today.
One of the most outstanding ballerinas in the world today!
Bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo fantastic brilliance grandiose genial music and dance

Dying to see you in swan lake
Swan Lake as Odette/Odile and Giselle or Myrtha would be ideal for her cannot wait to see her!!🙂
Перевожу, Машу в примы!
She is definitely there technically. I’m not sure if she’s there in terms of acting yet, but I’m sure it’ll be soon!
So graceful and powerful at the same time!
A real Beauty with outstanding talent on the stage. Maria's moves are so perfect... I watched with pure admiration.
Exquisite. In a class all her own. Maria, you're an inspiration.
Bravo...watching Maria dance makes my heart happy. What an inspiration!

Such a fantastic ballet can only be found in Russia. Bravo Maria. 👏👏👏
I just hope someday see one of her presentations.
I remember Margot Fountain and Maria has the same talent and elegance dancing.
This was a stunning performance but you always deliver.
Breathtaking! You're stunning! Thanks so much for sharing. ❤
Gorgeous dancer, glorious production, and magnificent video, sight and sound👏👍 😍 👌 ❤ 😀 🙌.
Beautiful, graceful, perfect !
I love the flick of the fingers at the very end
So so beautiful
Beautiful!!!🤗💖
You amaze me more everytime with your arms, face expressions and extension. It is clearly seen that you "enjoy" dancing. Keep on the awesome work!❤🌟🌟
Может перейдем на наш могучий и прекрасный язык. Прекрасно!!!!!!
Maria, очень красиво, нежно, грациозно. Привет из Нью Йорка.
Вот люблю Марию, спасибо за видео.
Such fluidity and precision at the same time! I have seen many great Rose Adagios, and like them, you make the part your own, like no one else.
You were incredible, as usual. So nimble and graceful 🌷
She is a DREAM of a BALLERINA 💕
I sincerely hope we can see you dancing as Giselle and Juliet soon.
Yes! I would also add Coppelia. I think she would make a wonderful Swanhilda.
Скоро будет и Сванильда. А Жизель уже танцует.

Una actuación muy limpia y hermosa María :)
Another amazing performance 👍👍
The music in the entrance is so fast!😳😱
Que linda belíssima 😍 uma princesa

Мария, это волшебно!!!
Желаю вам удачи в Новом году! Побольше новых ролей.
Не подскажите где можно посмотреть полный эфир?
This lady is a future Prima Ballerina Asoluta.
Russian Ballett 😻❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
You deserve better than this kind of bare bones production. I didn't think such a grand ballet could be stripped down so much.
Balances ok. Bit of a crush with the princes!
❤

I don't like this costume :/ but she is amazing
She's so tiny.
She looks so busy that she can hardly keep up with the music.
