Who are your favorite dancers at the Paris Opera? Say, a top 3 in your opinion. Love your deep dives!
Thank you so much!!! I didn’t realize that people would be interested in them.
Gosh I would say pre-2010 was my Paris Opera Era. I grew up watching Mathieu Ganio, Ludmila Pagliero, Dorothée Gilbert, Marie Agnès Gillot. Some of them are still dancing so they are up there.
Honestly, after 2012, I didn’t really follow POB as much, it was just different after that. This is a tough question for me. I’ve been catching up recently though after they promoted Guillaume Diop. I’d say he’s in my top. I also love Leonore Baulac. Oh and Camille Bon! If you recommend some dancers, I’ll watch (but really study) them haha.
As you can tell by now, I’m fully immersed in Mariinsky and Bolshoi but mostly because they have the most videos online. Being based in the US, I also follow ABT, NYCB, SF Ballet, and PNB. Now, Het Nationale, Wienerstaats too. Paris Opera Ballet and La Scala should really be up in my watchlist more but yeah unfortunately, they are not.

POB's La Bayadère
That was a weird one. I mean it was bound to happen given the circumstances but that was a weird, unbalanced performance. Not the POB's best work but probably the best they could do given the circumstances.
Quick side note: i was surprised but happy to see that the children and the non dancing people on stage were wearing masks. Especially after learning a couple of days ago that covid is still actively circulating among the Mariinsky dancers, it's nice, you know to see that some ballets give two shit about sanitary precautions and their dancers health.
Sooo about the performance itself.
Act 1 was the best one and Dorothée Gilbert owned every second of it. She again demonstrated today that she is imho the best female Etoile at POB right now. I loved her Nikia and I'm even sadder that I won't get to see her live dancing the whole ballet. Excellent commitment, good chemistry with her partner, just a joy to watch all around.
I also really liked Germain Louvet. Granted he had nothing to dance there but emotionally speaking he was on point. I'm not his biggest fan but between this and the Nureev gala in october where he was the highlight of the show he's growing on me.
And Leonore Baulac was delightful as Gamzatti, in terms of acting she was made to be the Rajah's daughter. Perfect embodiment of a spoiled brat.
Good job also from Vincent Chaillet and Audric Bezard as the Brahman and the Fakir.
Act II was the worst. And at times downright painful to watch, though not because of the artists.
It's that performing in an empty theatre and hearing nothing but silence during the bows killed the mood and the rhythm of the performance. It's supposed to be a wedding and instead you are met with this icy void. I think it also bothered the dancers a lot because nearly everyone struggled to perform.
Amandine Albisson and Marine Ganio saved the whole thing.
Amandine gave a really beautiful monologue but because of the general icy atmosphere, Nikia's death had little emotional impact.
Marine Ganio was absolutely wonderful. She alone seemed unbothered by the setting. Gave herself 200%, gave enough emotions for her and the whole stage.
Also stellar cast for the Grand Pas, with Sae Eun Park, Hannah O'Neill and Roxane Stojanov. I also spotted Alice Catonnet among the little bayadères.
The fans and parrots were nice but the Indian dance really lacked fire and power. The female soloist, Celia Drouy tried really hard to make it work but she was not followed by the male soloists.
Hugo Marchand was the biggest disappointment, and i was really looking forward to his Solor. Gave a clean but absolutely empty performance.
Valentine Colasante is a great technician and I usually enjoy watching her. She carried the whole grand pas on her back but felt a bit short. Imo her variation lacked bravado and power. She only became alive during the coda.
Paul Marque, the unexpected hero of the day gave a nice performance but felt a bit short with the Golden Idol. The spark was lacking. He was really focused and i think tried to hard.
Act III went better but ultimately missed the mark for me.
The corps de ballet was outstanding. I saw Bianca Scudamore in the first line. She really stands out among the others. Awa Joannais was also in first line and danced nicely. The shade right next to Bianca also really stood out but I have no idea who that was.
Sae Eun Park as one of the Trio of Shades was mesmerising to watch. Watching her dance in the second act II I thought that she would make a great Gamzatti. After seeing her Shade, I want to see her Nikia.
Silvia Saint Martin and Hannah O'Neill were also great.
Matthias Heyman and Myriam Ould-Braham danced beautifully but the emotions and connection were missing imho. It felt like they were far too focused on the technical aspects. Because of that there was no catharsis at the end. As they went into their final pose it felt to me like "okay that's it good evening ladies and gentlemen".
And the stream died after that so I missed Paul's nomination.
