I was enthralled by Kolesnikova. When she dances Odette time often seems to stand still, all the steps are carried out with deliberation and perfect phrasing and she is all eloquent arms and high leg extensions. Odile is faster and flashier with those infamous fouettés faultless and spot-on. For me what was particularly impressive was Kolesnikova’s dramatic interpretation and I was won over by her eyes that revealed the horror of Odette’s plight when she encountered Siegfried for the very first time. From that moment I immediately knew she believed she was Odette and so from then on did I. Her Odile was equalling convincing being beguilingly sexy, thoroughly ruthless and with a maniacal (silent) laugh.
