jellyteaa Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Guardian's review: "Mikhailovsky Ballet -- the St. Petersburg Company Wows Manhattan." http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2014/nov/23/mikhailovsky-ballet-new-york-review-lincoln-center-american-debut I watched a few performances for each of their productions this past month. Personally, I think this is by far the best review that I have read, and I very much agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hello, jellyteaa, and welcome to the forum. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Agree with you, jellyteaa. And I also liked the FT (5 star) piece, The reinvigorated St Petersburg company’s New York debut has been a triumph Just two sentences from it: On The Flames: The deft blend of old-school classicism and lusty character dancing shows off the company’s impressive stylistic range. On DQ: Messerer’s 2012 production is played and danced with all the zest missing from Carlos Acosta’s Royal Ballet version. (Janet, thanks for that correction.)

aileen Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 What role is Ruzimatov dancing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naomi M Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Ruzimatov danced Conrad in Le Corsaire. I saw the performance today and although there were very few leaps in the choreography (this is Ruzimatov's own version), he could still dance very well. Especially his pirouettes a la seconde were brilliant and beautiful, also we was great in partnering Irina Perren in the bedroom pas de deux. What was surprising was that at his third curtain call, he performed that pirouettes a la seconde which made the audience go wild. Irina Perren was radiant, crystal clear technique with bravura and she was also a good actress. And Viktor Lebedev as Ali was a sensation, so light and airy jumps, soft landings and classicism, long limbs, everyone would love him and certainly will be a big star in the near future. Overall performance was enjoyable and I could see the company is in a positive mode. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Q Fan Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Sounds fab! If only they would tour here again. I love Irina Perren her Giselle is great and I would dearly love to see the Mikhailovsky's Million $ Spartacus again - yes it was loud and brash but I loved it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Naomi, have you seen YouTube clips of Ruzimatov dancing the famous Ali solo? He is simply amazing. He is almost feline in the way that he moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmhopton Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I get the Mikhailovsky news emailed to me monthly and this caught my eye this month. A Christmas Carol World première ballet in two acts after the novella by Charles Dickens set to music by Pyotr Tchaikovskychoreography by Ivan Vasiliev31 December ǀ 16.00 it is part of a new series of Mikhailovsky Hermitage evenings in which concerts and performances take place in the Hermitage Museum Theatre. There are also performances of Ivan's modern triple bill and an opera concert. This is a sketch of the costumes so it looks traditional. Interesting to see Ivan's choreography and how it is reviewed. Unfortunately all the information about it is in Russian. However, if you go onto their website and click on 'Playbill' and then 'Hermitage Theatre' it is there but no more information than what is here apart from being able to buy tickets. If there are any lucky people in St Petersburg then it sounds a great way of spending New Years Eve. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
