Olga Smirnova married Dilyara Timegarzina's son this fall. Joy married a fellow dance student last year named Nikita. None of these people are in tiskaridize's camp.

I loved that version of Alice--I remember it's depth and wit. --- just a comment!

Thank you so much for letting me know about that interview. So interesting and so moving.

Martine van Hamel is the best!

David!

I would love to see her with Davud H.

Loved this!

She is listed in the Corps on the Bolshoi site.

Search using "kobborg" only-- it's not listed as Onegin but you'll

recognize his costume.

Hallberg and obratzsova...

See tuteetuteetu for the complete ballet.

Urin pronounced 'ou Reen ya. At least that is how I heard it on the ru news.

This afternoon was one of the most magical i've experienced in a long long time. Sara Lane was beautiful and so compelling that i became transported into her world. I remember gasping in fear when she prickrd her fiinger! I thought Danil was wonderful too. An ardent and passionate prince.

And...i had heard so many awful things about the set and costumes that i was expecting "awful." It reminded me of childrens book illustrations of the 50's. And being a child then, i loved them this afternoon!

It is tragic for Filin and his family and for the Bolshoi. He had the foresight to invite Smirnova, Obratsova, Chudin and Hallberg to join the company and he was a wonderful coach/ director. I hope for a miracle; i hope he will find within himself a way to be expressive and useful.

Where did she teach in the US?

In the 50's in Atlanta. I think now i saw Apollo( the d'Amboise ? Most likely) on TV. I know it was a late Sunday morning tv show and i was mesmerized. I was maybe six. I started ballet classes soon after and it was Robert Barnett and Ann Burton in the Nutcracker with the Atlanta Ballet which brought me here!

I'm concerned about the well-being of the dancers Filin brought to the theatre: Smirnova, Obratzsova, Chudin, Hallberg among them. It must be a horrible atmosphere for them......

Ondine by Ashton doesn't count?

Does anyone know why Olga Smirnova did not dance as scheduled?

Does anyone know why Olga Smirnova did not dance on the 4th as scheduled? I hope she is not injured.

If t is a friend of putin's he can say whatever he wants.

Darn! I would love to see obratsova or smirnova as Nikia.

"Salas"-- what a lovely Christmas gift! Thank you Cristian!

Me too! Is episode four coming up? Is it you I must thank with all my heart for posting these episodes on youtube?! If so, thank you!!

I have seen the first episode with beautiful dancing by kristina Shapran and olga smirnova among many others and bits of the contest on you tube. Diana V. Is one of the judges. Would love to have more information about this.

Thanks,

Judith
