Gillian Murphy in Swan Lake, American Ballet Theatre, June 2016. © Rosalie O’Connor.Murphy’s change, under von Rothbart’s spell, from human to swan was chilling in its robotic response to the villain’s whims. Her balance of the avian and human is perfect, and perhaps what is best about a seasoned performer in this role is that nothing feels phoned in. Her Odile is all craft and cunning, and she owns it utterly, without a hint of trepidation. -- source link
