I thought she was a goddess sent from above to interpret the most fascinating ballet act I have ever seen. The flexibility of her arms was unbelievable and I haven't seen any interpretation of the piece as magical as hers. Bravo Maya!

I was not a great fan of classical ballet, and can remember nothing about the other pieces, except that they bored me. But Maya Plisetskaya's DYING SWAN was sublime, transcendent! Schmulzy it was not! I have subsequently read that, as her signature piece, it became for her, about aging as a ballerina.
