Maria Kochetkova take a part in Russian Ballet Icons gala: at the London Coliseum, 12 March 2017 . She danced Diamonds with Tyler Angle from NYCB. The Program https://mobile.twitter.com/Scarfie1/status/841000095147536387/photo/1 Rubies and Diamonds were both beautiful. There's a group photo on the net here:- https://m.facebook.c...429554&refid=13 Sian Trenberth photography http://client.sian-trenberth.com/russianballeticons2017/ http://www.danceeurope.net/gallery/russian-icons-gala-2017 Oddly it was the Diamonds pas de deux that was the highlight of the evening for me, I don't think I've seen it so well danced since Patricia McBride and Peter Martins. The Diamonds couple and the Vaganova students however will stay in the memory.

Miracle in B minor (among other keys) by Jay Nordlinger Odette/Odile was a Russian, Maria Kochetkova. She was utterly musical. She produced the physical expression of Tchaikovsky’s phrasing, rhythm, feeling, everything. She bent to every note (or turned or sailed or whatever was required). I think the composer would have been amazed. So admiring was I of Kochetkova, I almost felt disloyal to a longstanding favorite, Nina Ananiashvili (the great, retired Georgian). Doing the honors as the Prince was Herman Cornejo, from Argentina. He was virile, elegant, noble. In a word, princely. Let me note, too, that Rothbart was danced by Gray Davis, though not by the ex-governor of California. Young Mr. Davis is from South Carolina (and a ballet dancer). http://www.newcriterion.com/posts.cfm/Miracle-in-B-minor--among-other-keys--8166

San Francisco Ballet Swan Lake 2016February 23, 2016 http://www.joliegazette.com/culture1/2016/2/21/atr6x05zzi3smxhlc4j7eh2wacbq6i Artistic Director Helgi Tomasson delivers a striking return of the enchanting story to San Francisco Ballet with breathtakingly modern stage design and splendid costumes by scenery and costume designer Jonathan Fensom. Opening up the first act is miniature, yet powerful dancer, Maria Kochetkova as Odette, followed by elegant dancing and gallant acting by Davit Karapetyan as an ideal prince Siegfried and finally closing the act with a choreographic gem, pas de trois performed by Koto Ishihara, Gennadi Nedvigin and Lauren Strongin.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4-a2DhmLic#t=12 Watch a sneak peek of San Francisco Ballet's Maria Kochetkova and Davit Karapetyanin "Romeo & Juliet," coming to a cinema near you September 24! With its passionate choreography, spine-tingling swordsmanship, and celebrated score by Sergei Prokofiev, this colorful and emotional retelling of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet has packed houses around the world. Helgi Tomasson’s bravura interpretation of the Bard’s greatest tragedy “lifts Shakespeare’s complex and familiar language off the gilded pages and translates it into lucid classical choreography that is visceral, fresh, and ultimately sublime". http://lincolncenteratthemovies.org/productions/san-francisco-ballet

In this video from 2001, a young and playful Maria Kochetkova performs the female variation from this pas de deux in Moscow. Even without her partner, Kochetkova exudes a coquettish demeanor. Just as her dainty brisés perfectly suit her petite physique—not to mention her Bournonville ballon—her endearing épaulement takes viewers in from the moment of her first preparation. Even at this early age, it is no surprise that Kochetkova would go on to become a principal dancer with San Francisco Ballet only six years later. http://pointemagazine.com/blogs/maria-kochetkova/tbt-maria-kochetkova-flower-festival-genzano-2001
