In her twenty years with The Royal Ballet, Argentine dancer Marianela Nuñez has excelled in iconic ballet classics, Company heritage works and modern creations. A Company Principal for 16 years, she has performed all the leading roles in the classical, dramatic and contemporary repertory. This collection showcases her exceptional mastery in four quintessential roles. In Swan Lake, she brings to life the beautifully tragic Odette and her rival Odile. She perfectly portrays the young lover Lise in La Fille mal gardée, and brings bravura and vivacity to the role of Kitri in Carlos Acosta’s production of the classical Don Quixote. She is transcendent as Giselle, one of the most challenging and demanding roles in the repertory. With peerless technical skill and compelling performances by the whole Company, this collection celebrates an exceptional dancer in her prime.

Was intrigued to see more ballets in which Marianela Nuñez dances after watching her captivating performance in the Swan Lake ballet DVD 2009.
So I purchased this set, and I see why Marianela Nuñez has been the principal dancer for ROH ballet company. Marianela gives more than 100% to every performance, and you see Marianela really enjoying dancing supported by really great dancers of the ROH company. Watched the set couple of times now, and will over and over again. A very highly skilled, talented dancer. I would recommend anyone reading this to purchase and enjoy The Art of Marianela Nuñez.
