Dear Balletgoal - I see that the Gramilano blog now has the complete program
-
Thanks Balletgoal. There is some info about the program under "Who are you bringing over with you and what will they dance?"
I am bringing two ladies who are currently my partners here in Amsterdam: Igone de Jongh — the Muse of Van Manen — will dance Replay with me with choreography by my Director Ted Brandsen which was especially created for Igone and me. It was the first time working on a new piece with Ted and Igone but it worked out very well and we had a lot of fun doing it. I have a very strong connection with Igone and, in terms of our bodies, we are very similar. She will also dance a piece by Hans Van Manen.Victoria Ananyan is my second partner, who has a crazy personality which is very close to my soul. She is very feminine and sensual and so we will dance one of the pieces I love the most: Fokine’s Sheherazade.
Wenting Guan and James Stout are two beautiful Soloists who are making their début in Swan Lake just before the performance at Teatro Salieri, and the final two are the couple from the La Scala Ballet School who are beautiful, young and fresh, and make me remember when I was in their place going around Italy with my dear friend Mara Galeazzi.

Diana Vishneva says: "I am painfully aware that this change in leadership of our legendary school could be a bargaining chip in someone's political game, and does not have any relation to the good of the Academy." adding, "I'd like to believe that this is not the end of a great school." Brava!!! Courage to speak her mind!

Found another review from the Corriere della Sera, but it's not online (yet). Not favourable for Claudio Coviello saying that he doesn't have the physique du role, and Osipova didn't have enough energy to play off so she was not up to usual standards. I heard very different stories from a couple of friends who were there though. The critic basically told him to change repertory, which seems a bit harsh/arrogant :-(

I feel bold as a new girl starting a new topic. I came to see if someone had seen Natalia Osipova's début in Nureyev's version of Swan Lake at La Scala? I found only one blog review but as yet no other news
