Extracts from letters by Olga's contemporaries:Цитата:
Spirit, weeping about it's boundaries
А. Volynsky about Spessivtseva's
GiselleЦитата:
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."
From the letters of Olga's contemporary to her sister Zinaida
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.
