Rare footage of one of the greatest Giselles ever - the incomparable Olga Spesivtseva, whose tragic life story was depicted on film and in literature. |

Extracts from letters by Olga's contemporaries: Цитата: Spirit, weeping about it's boundaries Цитата: The end of the first act was pure dance, no pantomime. And in the theater everyone was crying. After the first act the entire auditorium stood up and staged an unprecedented ovation. And next morning she came to see me sad and downcast. Spoke as if to himself: "I should not dance Giselle, I get too deep into the role." Цитата: I worked with Spesivtseva from 1921 to 1924 and saw her in all roles. Genuine beauty with perfect figure and amazingly seductive, while still remaining slightly cold. All she did was incredibly beautiful, but especially ideal were her arms. |

From the memoirs of Professor of choreography Peter A. Gusev: Цитата: I remember entrance of the ballerina in "Bayadere". She stepped out on stage surrounded by dead silence, covered by shawl. She approached the Brahmin, bowed and knelt in front of him. He removed her shawl ... And something incredible happened - the entire auditorium burst into thunderous applause. She literally bewitched them. Olga Spessivtzeva in Bayadere Цитата: Especially spectacular was Olga Aleksandrovna in the scene of "Shadows". An unearthly beauty. As for Kitri, it is not possible to dance the role better. Yet she managed to remain slightly aloof. Same thing in «Paquita». She commenced the coda with rond de jambe en l'air. The audience was wailing — such was the finesse of her execution of the movement |

Vadim Gaevsky on Spessivtseva's Giselle. 1919. Цитата: Each one of her poses amazes with its completeness, its smooth, poignant, almost otherworldly, and at the same time pointed and restless beauty, so one can only vaguely imagine all the magic that was in her dance. Цитата: She was able to extend and elongate the string of her dance, only to suddenly cut it short, infusing silent song of the lines with a stark contrast, thus building her dance with plastic counterpoints. Up till her, nobody owned this skill. This art was later adopted by other dancers. |
