Natalia Osipova dancing Juliet in Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet. ABT’s season at the Metropolitan Opera House, Lincoln Center, July 2010. Photo: Gene Schiavone.Osipova also wisely suits her portrayal of Juliet to her own stage appearance and temperament. Abandoning the familiar aspect of Juliet that derives from Margot Fonteyn’s unforgettable portrayal which makes the spectator feel that the terrible aspects of the tale should not be happening to so lovely a creature. Osipova judiciously abandons any attempt at “being beautiful.” She opts for realism. -- source link
