Amelia Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) I received a news from a Moscow friend that the concert of the Vaganova Academy’s graduates and students in the Kremlin Palace was a triumph. The available clip below is in Russian. Two graduates gave a brief interview - Eleonora Sevenard and an English boy Oscar Frame: http://tvkultura.ru/article/show/article_id/179885/ My friend commented: "There was an impression that it was not a school but a company with its own very good style. The children were dancing with great musicality and artistry." Edited for typo. Edited June 22, 2017 by Amelia 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Petipa and the Bournonville especially are rare treats. For those who want a bit more about the Petipa, La Gioconda, music by Ponchielli, had its first performance on 18 January 1883, at the Mariinsky Theatre, St Petersburg. There was a new production on 21 January 1888 (so only two years before The Sleeping Beauty), also at the Mariinsky. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amelia Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) The graduation concert was 8 months ago. During the autumn and winter months the Academy was preparing for the annual block of “Nutcrackers”. They claim that their version is based on the original, first production at Mariinsky Theatre in 1892. In December 2022, it was shown in Moscow, on the huge stage of the Kremlin Palace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TtgXdwp08I To answer your question, Jeannette, I am not aware of any announcements about the graduation concert in June ’23 but I saw on the Academy’s website that now they are preparing to commemorate several anniversaries associated with the name of the choreographer Fyodor Lopukhov, including 50 years since his death (1886-1973). Lydia Lopokova, by the way, was his younger sister. In his honor, students of the Academy are preparing a concert to be held on 17 March at the Hermitage Theatre. It will show: Part 1 of his Dance Symphony, choreographic miniatures from the "Pictures at an Exhibition" cycle and other pieces. The choreography is revived by his grandson Fyodor Lopukhov Jr., also a graduate of our Academy. https://vk.com/vaganovaacademy Edited February 12, 2023 by Amelia a link added 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
