Natalia Posted January 13, 2003 Share Posted January 13, 2003 I notice that the Kirov-Mariinsky's website has been updated to included the most recently-hired soloists (the Ukraineans Nadezhda Gonchar & Leonid Sarafanov) but some favorites have been deleted??? We already know about Veronika Part's departure, to the ranks of ABT, last fall. However, I was shocked to not see the names of Sofia Gumerova, Alexandra Iosifidi and Natalia Sologub on the soloist (or principals) roster. I know that Gumerova danced last week's 'Swan Lake' so she could not have resigned THAT quickly! Perhaps it is just a mistake of the webmaster? On a similar note: Matvienko seems to be back on the roster??? I thought that he had left a few months ago. Maybe I am hallucinating because of the freezing temperatures here. Back to my hot chocolate & goose-down comforter. Link to comment
glebb Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 So good to see you posting from Moscow Jeannie! C Novi Godom! Give my regards to Kransniya Ploshad and stay tiplo! Link to comment
Marc Haegeman Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 No trace of Osmolkina either. I wouldn't take that list too literal, Jeannie, it's full of oddities. Besides, nothing to worry, in the English version all our favourites are still there, even Part Link to comment
Natalia Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 Thanks, Marc & Glebb! I did not even look in the English; then again, that one is usually a few steps behind the Russian. Link to comment
Saveta Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Marc, if you think Ekaterina Osmolkina, she is listed as "coryphée" on the Russian language portion of the site Link to comment
Marc Haegeman Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 That's right. Thank you, Saveta! Apparently the coryphées can only be accessed through the first page of the roster, if you use the "dalee" ("further") link, you jump over them. Link to comment
