Oh, dear .... Think the spelling of some of the nominees' names are a little off the mark (e.g., Manuel Legris, Christian Spuck and Robert Perdziola).  All of these gentlemen are significantly senior and well established in the industry.  Bit galling if this copy is taken from the official press release as it appears to be.  It means the errors will be picked up all over the place unless otherwise checked.  Not good.

It was actually from the official Benois site but through Google translate, so....

That’s really odd as, when I go to the website (benois.theatre.ru), it comes up in English. 

 

The names of the Jury are listed there too, Alison.

The Benois programme page itself also has errors ... I've laid out two (as emboldened) below - 

 

The program of the evening includes both classical and neo-classical fragments, as well as works of young modern choreographers. Participants included Maria Kochetkova, Silvia Atszoni and Alexander Ryabko, Anna Laudere and Edwin Revazov, Vadim Muntagirov and Sara Lamb, Victoria Jayani and Timur Suluashvili, and other stars from the ballet world.

Now the question is................(ref. the recent Russian Icons Gala)..........will any of the above actually appear?

Mr Kaplan is on the list as one of the "four artists...applying for the prize" and they are all designers - he's in the same section as John Macfarlane for the Scarlett Swan Lake.

I was confused about listing him as working for the Berlin State "secretariat"😀

Sometimes Google translate is very funny, Sergei Filin's last name for example sometimes comes back as an owl, and Denys Cherevychko's name (Vienna State Ballet) comes back as slippers, like Tchaikovsky's opera "Cherevichki"   😨

Sorry to be an 'old cynic' but I think that, within the list of jury members, lie some clues as who will win this year. Just going on past practice...............

 

Agreed, and I find it very hard to take this prize seriously as a result.

This is Vadim's second win and, this time, there was apparently noone on the jury who is in any way connected with him.

I have to withdraw my earlier scepticism and apologise for it.
