Question by chr0n0phasia: Best ‘Odile’ performance in Swan Lake?
I’m finding myself falling in love with ballet and I’m looking up different versions of Swan Lake.
But more specifcally, I’m looking for a good production of Swan Lake with an amazing Odile performance. I’ve seen a few productions where the ballerinas are technically good but they lack the powerful/aggressive/evil nature of Odile. I feel like they’re carrying over too much from their Odette performances.
Don’t get me wrong, I respect them all and I know that ballet is a difficult art but I like to see a ballerina who can play both roles perfectly. Maya Plisetskaya is a good example of being a fantastic Odile.
And if you know of a version of Swan Lake as described, is it available on DVD to order or is it available for download in reasonably good quality?
I will give 5 stars to the best answer.

I would go with Gillian Murphy! (a principal dancer from American Ballet Theatre)
Not only is her dancing incredible but her acting is spot on!
