Kirov to Mexico (again)


Recommended Posts

Thanks NO7 for your news. It certainly requires a lot of energy, not to mention time and money, to keep up with the Kirov's performances worldwide. But I do know of two people who often follow the Kirov round the world, though not on every single tour.

Gyromatic, you should attend the Gala too.  I wish I could come to Mexico!

I haven't heard of a gala yet, they had one last year though, so I'll find out. Thanks :)

So far they've announced an extra performance of Swan Lake on the 13th. I'll be attending Don Quixote on the 8th and SL on the 11th :D

As fas as I know, the gala will be held on the 14th, featuring Chopiniana, Don Q grand pdd, Scheherazade, and an excerpt from Sleeping Beauty. The dancers include Fadeyev, Kolb, Sologub, Makhalina, Gumerova, and Golub.

Heard that the Kirov Ballet will be making an agreement to tour Mexico City annually for ten years time. Next year they will perform Romeo&Juliet (which I voted for the worst production of the Kirov:p ). Meanwhile, the cast for Swan Lake to perform next week at the Auditorio Nacional include Nioradze, Korsuntsev, Gumerova, Kolb, and Part.

yup It went ok for most of the performance but at the end the height of Mexico city (2240m over sea level) took its toll on Golub and Fadeyev (most notably) :eek: not to mention several other dancers. Good performance overall, looking forward to Swan Lake (tomorrow) and Gala (Tuesday)

The Mexican tour will end tonight with the gala. The two casts of Swan Lake last weekend were - Yulia Makhalina/Igor Kolb, and Sofia Gumerova/Danila Korsuntsev.

At the Maryinsky Theatre tonight, Anton Korsakov will make his debut as James in La Sylphide.
