annamk Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I can't see that this has already been posted, via Dansomanie on Twitter is this report in Ria.ru on 26th July in Russian - google translated. "In late March, the ballet troupe will travel to London to present at the theater "Colosseum" "Don Quixote", "Swan Lake" and "versatility. Forms of silence and emptiness," and one-act ballets staged by Duato." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I was just about to post the same thing. It will be interesting to see how the Mikhailovsky SL compares with the RB's and ENB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 We saw it a couple of years ago, so there will be reviews on the original Ballet.co site somewhere. I don't have good memories of it, but that may have been largely down to Siegfried. I'll probably give the Duato a miss, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toursenlair Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I also posted links to reviews of their recent Swan Lakes in Vancouver. The reviews aren't particularly penetrating, but you can find the links here: http://toursenlair.blogspot.ca/2012/06/mikhailovsky-ballet-swan-lake-vancouver.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aruna S Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 We saw it two years ago too, on the night Tamara Rojo danced Odette/Odile. It was a memorable performance and a spectacular production. But is this going to be the same one or a reworking by Duato? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Wall Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I assume that we'll be getting the O&V show for the DQ .... wonder if the SL will feature O & Marcello Gomes now that both he and O are shared principals between that Company and ABT.

blackdove Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 As long as Natalia Osipova is coming with them this news has made my year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Swan Lake they have listed on their website for performances in Russia this coming season is given as: Choreography: Marius Petipa, Lev Ivanov, Alexander Gorsky, Asaf Messerer Revised by Mikhail Messerer Duato is doing a new R&J premiering there in December so I doubt he'll have time to tinker with Swan Lake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Q Fan Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Oh how wonderful I've been waiting for Mikhailovsky's Don Q to come here for ages and now we have the prospect of Natalia & Ivan as well - I think I've died and gone to heaven. Hurrah! Edited August 6, 2012 by Don Q Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toursenlair Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 The casts they have up for their 4 Swan Lakes this fall in St P are: Odette-Odile — Ekaterina Borchenko Prince Siegfried — Victor Lebedev Odette-Odile — TBA Prince Siegfried — Leonid Sarafanov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capybara Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 The Coliseum is saying that the Mikhailovsky Ballet Company will be performing from 26th March to 7th April 2013 with programmes which (as reported here previously) are thought to include Swan Lake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 capybara, I don't see the Mikhailovsky on the Coliseum's website (What's On section). Where did you see this information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 A fellow ballet enthusiast went into the Coli to enquire and was told the dates. I expect that they are not putting anything on the website until the repertory has been confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we already had a thread going on this, I've merged the new thread with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
