End of March, finally Mariinsky will be back in Munich - for three performances of "Giselle" and for one Gala night. The gala is sold out already - but without any hint of what they will perform!
Assume the "classics" like Don Q pdd, Corsaire pdd,....???

Any hints / news?


PS: Giselle principal casting as per Bayerisches Staatsballett website today (for what it's worth...):
28.3.07: Olesia Novikova - Leonid Sarafanov
29.3.07: Jekaterina Osmolkina - Andrian Fadejew
30.3.07: Uljana Lopatkina - Igor Kolb

I had seen Olesia Novikova - Leonid Sarafanov's Gizelle last June in DC - they were wonderful. THey had great chemistry and great care&tenderness for each other. And I personally adore Fadeyev (I haven't seen Ekaterina Osmolkina in Gizelle, however Fadeyev is a GREAT PARTNER (and a great soloist). Saw him in Gizelle too.
Wish I could go again. Best greatest performances to you.

Thanks!! Really looking forward - and also to the gala which is as we now learned from the press release a "joined venture" between Munich and St Petersburg...:
