Which dancers do you think does each of the roles in the major classical ballets best?

 

A list of what ballet I'm thinking of...

 

Swan Lake (Odette/Odile)

The Nutcracker (Sugar Plum)

Don Quixote (Kitri)

Giselle (Giselle)

Coppelia (Swanilda)

Sleeping Beaty (Aurora)

La Esmerelda (Esmerelda)

Paquita (Paquita)

La Bayadere (Gamzatti)

Cinderella (Cinderella)

 

And its okay if anybody wants to add any that I forgot.

Odette/Odile: Gillian Murphy

Sugar Plum: I'm not really sure about this one.

Kitri: Nina Ananiashvili

Giselle: Svetlana Zakharova

Swanilda: Alina Cojocaru

Aurora: Svetlana Zakharova

Esmerelda: Natalia Osipova

Paquita: Agnes Letetsu

Gamzatti: Svetlana Zakharova

Cinderella: Alina Cojocaru
