FionaM Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Clarification of the article … Ksenia Ryzhkova is a principal of STANMUS. She was previously a principal in Munich. She and Sergei Polunin will perform the lead roles only on 1 August. On the 2,3,4 August the lead roles are artists of the Perm company. I’ve not seen their names announced yet. @Amelia you titled this ‘streaming’. I haven’t seen any info on this being streamed. Perhaps you meant touring?

There was no other topic for Perm Ballet on the forum. The Polunin topic has been closed. I didn't want to start a new topic for this info and added it here without mentioning "streaming", which obviously cannot happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many Russians and others beyond myself included wishing they could be there for this moment. It’s been 7 years since Sergei performed Siegfried. He performed Swan Lake in full over 20 times mostly in Moscow 2013 - 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annamk Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Frankly, irrespective of the fact that Sergei Polinin’s dancing is a poor shadow of what it once was, his open support for Putin (see his Instagram) means that I never wish to see him dance again. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BalletcoForum Moderators Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Hi all. We have decided to lock this thread for the time being as it is becoming overtly political. May we please remind everyone that we strongly discourage our members from making political statements on this, a ballet forum. Of course we understand that there are some issues that make us all angry and upset, but we would ask that these are discussed on other fora. There is so much unhappiness and negativity in the world; let's try to keep this forum a happy place where we discuss our beloved artforms, all of which contribute some happiness and positivity to our world. Thank you for your co-operation. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
