According to her site, Zakharova will be participating in Nacho Duato's new production of "The Sleeping Beauty"
which premieres in December.  However, the Mikhailovsky site has not yet announced the casts.  The new
production premieres December 16.  Zakharova will appear December 18 & 20.  First the Vasilievi relocate, then Kolya Tsiskaridze partners Lopatkina in "Diamonds" at the 11th hour at the Mariinsky.  And now, Zakharova will appear at the Mikhailovsky as well, and in the new (and bound to be controversial) Duato "Beauty."

Additionally, production designer Angelina Atlagić comments on her thoughts of the fairy tale, Duato's vision of "Sleeping Beauty" and what she and Duato mean to accomplish.

Thanks. Very interesting. The best thing in the photos:  I see POINTE shoes! This may not be typical Duato after all, thank goodness.

I would rather see regular company members Perrin and Yapparova as Aurora.

In the intermission backstage footage of the Sleeping Beauty broadcast Hallberg can be seen congratulating her.
