From the very beginning of her career it was evident that Irma Nioradze
possesses all qualities to become the classical ballerina in the best
meaning of this word. Indeed, her talent was so outstanding that her future
was being discussed with great interest even while she was still a student
of the Ballet Academy.
As the years passed her technical and artistic development has come up to
expectations. Irma Nioradze's technique in such masterly ballets as
"Giselle", "Don Quixote", "Symphony in C" is irreproachable. Thus, her
talent extends beyond the mere virtuosity and although she is often
described as a pure classical ballerina, she is also magnificent both in
romantic and dramatic roles. Nioradze's strong, well-shaped legs, fine lines
and endurance allow her to possess all the set of modern ballet technique -
secure turns, an excellent jump and steadiness. According to the words of
many critics, Nioradze has great stamina and extraordinary virtuosity. In
romantic ballets, such as, for example, "Giselle", the ballerina's
silhouette reminds the lithographs with Maria Taglioni. Irma Nioradze's
dances are expressive, laconic and have no vanity at all. |
