volcanohunter Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I don't know whether there will be any charge for this, but Medici.tv will be streaming the 13th Moscow International Ballet Competition June 11-20. http://www.medici.tv/en/moscowballetcompetition Link to comment
Fraildove Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Does anyone have the list of dancers competing? I've searched the website in English and in Russian and can't find it. Maybe because I'm looking on my phone? It's also not pulling up the jury other than Grigorovich. Natalia, any luck? Or MadamP? Link to comment

Natalia Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 The contestants, both Jrs & Srs, are listed via this link: http://moscowballetcompetition.com/en/uchastniki (Engl version) I see that the Srs include the top two female medalists from the most recent Varna IBC, Amanda Gomes (Brazil) and Joy Womack (USA). Also well know are the Mariinsky's Ekaterina Chebykina & Ernest Latypov! Also a number of very prominent Koreans, including the (then) young boy who won top honors at YAGP in 2009, Ohm.

Fraildove Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) Yes I finally was able to find it this morning! I will be very interested to see how Sobin Le, who won Grand Prix in Varna and has already danced major roles in eropean theatres and she is just 19. There is a video of her on YouTube doing Lise's variation at 13 that would put most professionals to shame. There are quite a few 'big names' this year. I see Popov is there, and saw the other Mariinsky dancers as well. Looks like an exciting competition. One question, has it always been just a week long? I thought I have always remembered it as 2. Anyway looking forward to watching it! Edited June 12, 2017 by Fraildove Link to comment
