The Divine Giselle
In the history of the Russian ballet theater, the name of Olga Spesivtseva occupies a place no less significant than the names of Anna Pavlova and Tamara Karsavina. The audience first saw her in 1913 as a beautiful young girl, gentle, captivating and timid, with huge eyes full of mystery. In the early twenties, this girl was a real idol of youth and a conqueror of Paris, and in the early nineties, after a long mental illness, she ended her days away from her homeland, in one of the nursing homes. A star and a victim of her time, a forced hermit and a prisoner of madness, her life is a tangle of glory and oblivion, her name is surrounded by an aura of mystery, delight and contempt...
