Bruce Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Russian Ballet Icons Gala 2013 dedicated to Vaslav Nijinsky On Sunday 10 March the Russian Ballet Icons Gala, this year dedicated to the legendary Vaslav Nijinsky, will take place at the London Coliseum. The gala will include performances from the best living masters of ballet, dancing pieces from this iconic dancer’s repertoire as well as classic and contemporary dedications to one of the greatest dancers the world has ever known. Born March 12 1890 in Kiev, Vaslav Nijinsky is often regarded as the greatest male dancer of the 20th Century. He made his debut with the Mariinsky Theatre in 1907 and with his spectacular leaps and unrivalled grace, he was an immediate success, dancing leading roles in Giselle, Swan Lake, and Sleeping Beauty, often with Anna Pavlova and Tamara Karsavina. He travelled to Paris (1909) and, as premier danseur in Diaghilev’s Ballet Russe, was the first to dance the leading roles in Petrushka, Les Sylphides, Scheherazade, and The Spectre of the Rose, all choreographed by Fokine, and in ballets he himself choreographed – The Afternoon of a Faun (1912), The Rite of Spring (1913, for which Stravinsky composed the famous score), Jeux (1913), and Till Eulenspiegel (1916). His status as a legend and icon is unsurpassed in the history of dance. Vaslav Nijinsky as the Golden Slave in ScheherazadeCourtesy of Russian Ballet Icons/Dancing Times.

alison Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Just a warning to those who would normally be using the Circle/District lines to get to the Coliseum: there's track replacement work at Embankment, so there won't be any trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaffa Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 In case anyone didn't book and is still interested in the performance tonight, I have two spare tickets which you can have for half price or whatever you are willing to pay. (The Coliseum isn't taking returns.). Details on the ticket trade forum http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/3157-russian-ballet-icons-10th-march-coliseum-2-tickets-for-sale/ Sorry to post about this here, don't want to see the tickets go to waste.

No Kristina Shapran, Inaki Urlezaga, Svetlana Zakharova, Igor Zelensky or Sergei Polunin. But there were at least seven additions to the original ENO website cast list, including Thiago Soares/Marianela Nunez, and the wonderful Bolshoi Principal Ekaterina Krysanova.

alison Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yet interestingly Nuñez and Soares were listed on the flyer, which presumably had been printed some time in advance. And it had been pointed out some time ago that Polunin and Zelensky had disappeared from the list on the website. If anyone would like to discuss the performance, please start a new thread in the performances/discussions forum. Thanks very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
