Hi!!! I'm totally new to ballet and I know nothing about it, so I have a genuine question. I saw a video on YouTube that had Marianela Nunez, Natalia Osipova and Svetlana Zakharova as the best ballerinas in the world. Can you please explain to me what makes them so incredible? (I know nothing about technique so they all look out of this world for me) I would love to read a more in depth analysis from you❤
These three are perhaps the most popular ballerinas of the 2010s but the three couldn't be more different.
Osipova's strengths, especially as a young pro, were her outstanding virtuosity and endless, soulful energy. Look at old videos of her dancing Don Quixote at the Bolshoi or Mikhailovksy, her jumps seem to float with effortless rebound and the speed at which she can accelerate is also unique. She's fearless on stage and her risk-taking both technically and emotionally is always reinvigorating.
Zakhraova first gained acclaim for her natural facility and flexibility, her long hyperextended legs, arched insets, and tremendous mobility left audiences spellbound. Her turnout and cleanliness are often regarded as nearly textbook. Her lyricism and adagio prowess shine in roles like Odette/Odile from Swan Lake. She just has this regal, imposing aura that takes over the stage.
Nunez is a slightly different case. While she was certainly a prodigy, she wasn't a world star until later in her career and had a slower development compared to the two Russians. She's remarkable because she's showing the magic of what possible with pure technique and placement. Her balance and suspended quality of movement are inimitable. It's so hard to be that precise, and even more remarkably she's a better dancer now in her late 30s/early 40s than she was as a teen wizard. She just exudes a genuine love for the art form with every step- you see her smile and you fall in love too.

Today another forgotten Singer the Yugoslav Tenor Tino Pattiera (1890-1966). He was very well known in Dresden and a close friend with Richard Tauber and Elisabeth Rethberg. His voice and his beauty made him to a star by the ladys in Dresden.
Take a look on his biography. Here we see a old photo from 1916.
