This year marks the 30th anniversary of Yuri Grigorovich's famous masterpiece, A Legend of Love, and the Bolshoi is presenting it five times this month. I'm a particular fan of the young, captivating and highly talented Alena Kovaleva, who has risen fast having been given the coveted Odette/Odile from Swan Lake almost upon her arrival. Now she just debuted as Queen Mekhmene Banu (the lead) partnered by Jacopo Tissi with the lovely Anna Nikulina as Princess Shireen, her sister. I am reading what seems to be a very nice review by Inna K at the Bolshoi oriented Balletfriends, Большой - Балет и Опера, Forum. Not wanting to rush through, I'm stopping here to post two Google translated quotes. "I will say right away that I really liked her Mekhmene...." And most touching and important to me: "As a simple spectator, I am guided by a very simple criterion - it touches the soul or not, and in this case Mehmene convinced me from the very first minutes of her appearance". I may write some more at another time. I do wish her much success with this and her entire career. http://forum.balletfriends.ru/viewtopic.php?t=9480&start=135 Google translate -- https://translate.google.com -
[Legend of Love] At first I found it hard to warm to this production, but became engrossed. It is not a very subtle ballet, and some aspects jarred on me- e.g. the hunch backed jesters(!) and some of the costumes... Denis Rodkin was, I thought, impressively precise, powerful and indeed beautiful to look at. I am not quite sure about the rest-it is so different in every way from the current RB run that I've been thinking about so much! what does the forum think?
