carbro Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 While this is very exciting, hopefully Osipova's guesting won't overshadow the other fine dancers. I really don't think she and Simkin should be paired together, since that's basically excluding them from the rest of the company. Osipova and Corenjo? How does that sound?If she's 5'5", she would be too tall for Cornejo in most roles. However, if (as Waelsung notes) she's to dance the Sylph, the pairing could work. In fact, it sounds like an irresistible cast to me! Link to comment
Mashinka Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 5'5"? A bit shorter I think. I remember reading somewhere (perhaps on Ballet Talk) that Volochkova was 5'6". Stand the two ladies together and there would be a huge gap. The Russians don't deal in feet and inches, so probably make some sort of guess about their height instead of calculating it. More realistically Osipova is 5'2" or 5'3". Link to comment
Mikhail Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Osipova tells she is 167 cm in Russia. Probably she will be a bit shorter in inches I can only guess on how much. Link to comment
rg Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 one role said to be suggested to N.O. by abt was Gamzatti, but i don't know how accurate this is. and maybe Giselle? (these were noted in conversations over the past year or so when N.O. was being considered as a guest artist; they were not part of any official announcement.) Link to comment
drb Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Osipova tells she is 167 cm in Russia. Probably she will be a bit shorter in inches I can only guess on how much. That converts to 5 feet 5.7 inches. Link to comment
Sacto1654 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Osipova tells she is 167 cm in Russia. Probably she will be a bit shorter in inches I can only guess on how much. According to the metric converter online, she's 5 feet, 5-3/4 inches tall. She's shorter than my late mom, who was 5 feet, 6-1/2 inches tall. Link to comment
Fraildove Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Actually, i dont see Osipova and Simkin at all, just hoping that two of my favorits might share the stage, regardless of suitability. Actually, I would also like to see her paried with Correno, or even in a strange way with Maxim (he and Irina are good friend's of my husband's and i have always seen them together. I have not been fortunate to see either one without the other, for when we go see them, its them together.) And i had already hoped to see Simkin with Ms. Lane, even before casting went up. They seem unusually fit for eachother, in a very odd sort of way. At least in my mind. Link to comment
