witchava Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 Hi, I am hoping someone familiar with the Bolshoi tours can answer these somewhat obscure questions for me. They are in regards to the current (American) tour, more specifically their performances in California at the Orange County Performing Arts Center. First, I'd like to know if Nicolai Fedeyechev is coaching on this tour, or otherwise present in the company. Second, I am wondering if anyone knows if conductor Alexander Kopylov is conducting the orchestra for any of the performances? If so, which performances? I've tried getting this info directly from the folks at bolshoi.ru, but I have never gotten a reply (even to notices about a few factual errors on their site). Any help/info is appreciated! witchava
socalgal Posted July 25, 2005 Posted July 25, 2005 YES! And would love to know the casting for performances here at OCPAC!

If so, which performances? witchava <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Their program listings in NYC are very detailed and "seem" tour-specific: Ballet Mistresses are Kontratieva, Krasina, Semenyaka; Ballet Masters are Nikonov, Sitnikov. Conductors are Klinichev, Sorokin (in four perfs I've seen, each has conducted twice. If Kopylov were here it is hard to imagine that he wouldn't have had opening night.).
Helene Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 The orchestra played sublimely for Klinichev in Don Q and Romeo and Juliet last year in Seattle. Raymonda sounded quite lovely under Sorokin in Berkeley.

socalgal Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 Thanks for the casting list!.......I have been busy rereading reviews to familiarize myself with the casting I will be seeing.....going Wed. eve and Sunday matinee.
witchava Posted August 11, 2005 Author Posted August 11, 2005 Thanks for the replies, people. Now that their visit to Orange County has begun, I'm wondering if anyone now knows if Nikolai Fadeyechev or Alexander Kopylov are with the company at these performances? Or possibly if anyone would know how I could actually get the info. I'm not sure info down to the detail level of ballet master/coach is actually made generally public, though I would expect conductors to be relatively easy to find. At any rate, I'm still looking for the info, so if anyone stumbles across it, please drop a note here. Thanks. Marie
rg Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 all i know is that n.b.fadeyechev was not on the nyc leg of the current bolshoi ballet tour. i think the nyc house program regularly gives the balletmasters on the tour's artistic staff. fadeyechev's name was not there this july. he was on a previous tour to washington d.c. when his son, alexei, was director, mostly i think to oversee the lavrovsky ROMEO & JULIET that he (n.f) helped restage.
socalgal Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Neither of these names appears on the company roster in my program from last night at OCPAC. Lewis Segal mentions in today's LATimes that the company was minus many of its top dancers.
