GISELLE; 2016, Ida Praetorius and Andreas Kaas. Not my favourite cast, but it's pretty good and has some tear-worthy moments. Plus, the staging is lovely. You must watch it for Kizzy Matiakis and her unique interpretation of Myrtha!!
ROMEO AND JULIET; 2016, Ida Praetoris and Andreas Kaas. The roles these two were created for, pretty much. Extremely good performance with a stellar cast all-around. Susanne Grinder is Lady Capulet, the second female lead. Just for that, it's worth seeing. The choreography is by John Neumeier.
BALLO DELLA REGINA; 2020, Holly Dorger and Jonathan Chmelensky. The most wonderful, short Balanchine ballet that is sure to put you in a good mood and just danced wonderfully. Treat yourself to this!
Finally, not the whole ballet, but the final part of it which is honestly the most interesting thing about it, Napoli's pas de six and tarantella. 2014; Amy Watson, Susanne Grinder, Caroline Baldwin, Holly Dorger, Marcin Kupinski and Gregory Dean. Colourful modern interpretation of an old classic and just brought to such life, although the film editors took some questionable decisions with the editing. Very good quality.
