    UL took this year off

    There is simply too much attention being paid to the article and the comments underneath it.

    This is absolutely fabulous! Robert Fairchild is remarkable, but the entire company gives an amazing performance. I sat in the cheap front row stalls - could recommend them without any hesitation. I will go back!

    Is it? I don't really know, that sentence doesn't make much sense. Shall I interpret it past its face value?

    For once, that was a direct insult: The show itself was fine, I've seen far worse both at ROH and SW. Some of the aesthetic choices were polarising, but I didn't see the total and utter apocalyptic disaster that is being discussed in this thread. Opinions, eh?

    Bumping this. Still looking for something affordable albeit without much hope. If somebody can't make please let me know. Thank you and best wishes.

    Hello forum, I know it's a long shot, but I am looking for 2 cheap tickets to the gala. Everything in my price range is gone - I was wondering if anybody here might have 2 spares. Thank you and all the best, as always

    In terms of cast changes, Tikhomirova and Ovcharenko danced all three performances. So did Kaptsova. I saw both casts yesterday and loved them. The ballet lost nothing without Osipova and Vasiliev - not really something I thought I'd say (and I say it with my utmost respect to both of them). Top marks to Bolshoi corps de ballet who were on great form. Only one more week left...

    In my experience, American audiences, like any audiences, are extremely hit and miss. It all depends on luck and luck alone.

    I can't say I'd be surprised if this turned out to be quite a marmite production, but I absolutely loved every moment of last night. I genuinely don't want to single out any single performer (they were all incredible). It was a company piece where the entire cast worked as one, interacted, communicated and breathed together and the dancing was their purely natural language. The energy level was incredible. But why only two nights?

    I'm going to say I was actually rather moved. All the clapping, coughing, sneezing and talking aside, it was a marvellous night when I could completely relate to what I saw on stage. Yes it was technically sublime and sometimes flashy, but I found the "white acts" especially to be emotionally arresting. Although I can't say I enjoyed Bolshoi's Swan Lake in 2013, last night was different. Just my 2 cents.

    I think it's an irrelevant discussion, but in Natalia's own words: @3:41 "I grew up in Moscow, I studied in Moscow, all my teachers were from Moscow, I dance with Bolshoi, I am absolutely a Moscow ballerina" Nobody is saying she's predestined to dance with Bolshoi, but to deny her Moscow influences growing up would be difficult.
  17. ENBlover
    It is though - she's a Moscow girl who did all her schooling there.

    So this confirms there will be no Stashkevich. I'm very curious to see Shrainer as Kitri.

    I also support United, but we didn't even play in the final.

    First impressions are indeed something you carry with you for the rest of your life and therefore, Ekaterina Maximova and Maya Plisetskaya.

    Just for the record, Osipova is dancing her Giselles at the Bolshoi with Rodkin rather than Polunin.

    Just announced: http://www.teatroallascala.org/en/season/2015-2016/ballett/don-chisciotte.html GUEST ARTIST Natalia Osipova (6, 8, 10 Mar.) Leonid Sarafanov (6, 8, 10 Mar.) After having verified the programming, the Ballet Management rectifies what previously announced: Svetlana Zakharova’s scheduled performances of Don Quixote will be given to Natalia Osipova who will dance with Leonid Sarafanov.

    Why does one want to have the same discussion in three different threads? There's one on Osipova, one on Bolshoi and one on Kaufmann. This is the news section of the forum. It's hardly "news" when the same theme reappears in different places over time, is it? Never mind, carry on.
  25. ENBlover
    Yes. This needs to stop. There's too much negativity on here right now. Is there really a need to start another thread? Kaufmann is off so we're talking about Osipova again. If Pappano were to resign tomorrow would we also talk about Osipova and Bolshoi?
