Natalia Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The season's first ballet premiere is Poklitaru's "Symphony in Three Movements" conducted by Gergiev and starring Svetlana Ivanova (as "She") and the busy Yuri Smekalov (as "He"). Photos from the MT's Facebook page attest to this being no clone of Balanchine's earlier essay to the same music: https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153852382515798&id=96103870797&set=pcb.10153852386775798&source=48 https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153852382505798&id=96103870797&set=pcb.10153852386775798&source=48 Small film of the rehearsals: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vvXG01AcOis I'm not sure that I enjoy seeing how a beauty like Daria Pavlenko continues to be cast in dowdy masked roles, here the elder of three Fates: https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153852382600798&id=96103870797&set=pcb.10153852386775798&source=48 Any reports?

MadameP Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Huum...all that dragging across the floor... Huum...all that dragging across the floor... Yes, dragging, rolling, rocking ... please just DANCE. I am fed up with the current Mariinsky management's obsession with all things "modern" at the expense of the preservation of its heritage of great classical ballet. Link to comment
