AMERICAN BALLET THEATRE SWAN LAKE
Fans of American Ballet Theater help please!?
For my birthday my mom is taking me to see the ballet. I would have really loved to see Ethan Stiefel and Gillian Murphy as the principals in Swan Lake, but unfortunately they are dancing on different nights. I really want to see Swan Lake it is my favorite ballet, so which of these pairs would you pick?
Paloma Herrera and Ethan Stiefel
Gillian Murphy and Maxim Beloserkovsky
Julie Kent and Marcelo Gomes
Al three of the men are great, so if you are set on seeing Gillian then see her with Maxim. If you are more set on seeing Ethan see Ethan with Paloma. (I find her feet and legs so intense it is a bit distracting to me. You end up just looking at her feet all the time.) I have seen all of those dancers do Swan Lake.
If I had to pick I would pick (form the June performances in NYC) Irina & Maxim, David Hallberg & Diana Vishneva or Veronica Part at Roberto Bolle over the the three combinations you picked.
Anytime you can see Irina Dvorovenko or David Hallberg, you should try to see them dance. I find the both of them mesmerizing!
I think my overall pick would be for Irina and her husband Maxim. If you can see them, you wont be sorry!
