    I've just read about her costume designing the new Dawson Swan Lake for Scottish Ballet.

    David Bintley answered some of this in an interview from last year : http://londondance.com/articles/interviews/david-bintley-interview-part-2/ He has spoken along these lines before so you can probably find other interviews saying pretty much the same thing.

    Thanks Janet, it is a shame I couldn't be there. For the sake of future indexing the conductor was Dominic Grier (not Greer)

    I think over half of the Juliet's are making their debut as it is.

    Well taste is a very individual thing. However I would guess most people would see the Don Q. as a signature piece for the current Bolshoi with Le Corsaire in a similar but slightly lesser vein. The other thing you might want to consider is the rarity of the the ballets. Flames of Paris & this version of Taming of the Shrew don't turn up in London all that often and might not again for some time, if ever. The Bolshoi Swan Lake isn't that well regarded in the UK but that doesn't stop them bringing it every time.

    Thanks, it was your post about 2006 that put me on the right tracks and Alison's about what the doc included.... so teamwork!

    From the BBC Christmas 2006 Press Release: Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2006/12_december/08/christmas.shtml

    Publicity using a photo of Obratsova was used but it was always going to be the Zakharova for the broadcast.

    In answer to a question Floss posed: Ismene Brown likes the final pas de deux of Two Pigeons but finds the rest of it fake and feeble. And I'm quoting a sentence from her review here:

    The Pina Bausch film documentary by Wim Wenders is on BBC4 on Sunday 6th December at 7.25pm. This was mentioned earlier in the thread but I don't think a time or date had been fixed then.
  17. RMM1
    BBC4 on Sunday 13th December at 8pm has 'Ballrooms and Ballerinas: Dance at the BBC', an archive clips show, and then at 9pm a 90 minute documentary 'Dance Rebels: a Story of Modern Dance'.
  18. RMM1
    Well I believe the only dance announced at the January 2015 press conference were the BBC Young Dancer Competition, David Bintley's 'The King Dances' and the BalletBoyz documentary. Which is pretty much all we got, till now.

    Swipe in/out on the circular yellow panels hopefully as shown below:

    It's still early days. For their visit last time the equivalent publicity didn't include Krysanova but she was cast for a few performances and then a lot more when Alexandrova was injured.
  21. RMM1
    Assuming I've got the date correct the cast on the Bolshoi website is: 19 January 2014 EMERALDS Two leading couples Ivan Alexeyev Vladislav Lantratov Anastasia Stashkevich Anna Tikhomirova Pas de Trois Yanina Parienko Ana Turazashvili Igor Tsvirko RUBIES The leading couple Ekaterina Krysanova Vyacheslav Lopatin Soloist Ekaterina Shipulina DIAMONDS The leading couple Olga Smirnova Semyon Chudin Karim Abdullin Ivan Alexeyev Artemy Belyakov Maria Vinogradova Yulia Grebenshchikova Klim Efimov Angelina Karpova Ana Turazashvili Conductor Pavel Sorokin

    According to the book issued for the BRB 20th Anniversary Les Patineurs was first & last performed by BRB in 1996.
  23. RMM1
    As Janet has mentioned many of the theatres BRB use for these tours are months away from opening up booking for May 2016. It is usually January when BRB issues its press release but if you keep checking the likely theatres websites you can often get the info before this. BRB friends may know the details by end of November based on past experience.

    No casting has been issued yet for this run of Lady of Camellias. However it is a role for Zakharova so it would be a surprise if she wasn't involved.

    Based on the play, as I haven't seen the ballet, Katherina starts off as a strong woman but by the end it very much depends on how you interpret the production/Shakespeares' intentions. Most modern mainstream productions try to hint that Petruchio & Katherina have tamed each other but there are plenty of differing views out there in print.
