For his great contribution to the development of Russian culture and art, many years of fruitful activity, the honorary title "Honoured Artist of the Russian Federation" was awarded to the conductor of the orchestra Pavel Klinichev and the ballet troupe's premieres Artem Ovcharenko and Semyon Chudin. Congratulations!

 

Congratulations to Pavel, Artem and Semyon!

I am thrilled for Artem Ovcharenko, in particular.   He’s my favourite at the Bolshoi at the moment .... easily the best for dramatic ballets.  He was chosen by Christopher Wheeldon for lead role in The Winters Tale, for which Artem won the Golden Mask for his performance.  He also has strong classical technique, though Semyon Chudin probably has the best technique of all.

 

Congratulations to all 👏
