Ostrich Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Last year Alina Cojocaru made a big splash with her performance of Giselle, which I had the privilege of seeing, but now I can't find any information about what she is currectly doing. Does anyone have any news for me? Is she still dancing in partnership with Kobborg? Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Cojocaru is a principal dancer with the Royal Ballet in London, and is dancing in repertoire there - I saw her last night in Flemming Flindt's the Lesson. As it happens she hasn't yet danced with Kobborg this season, but they are reunited in La Sylphide at the the end of this week, assuming Kobborg recovers from the illness which kept him out of last night's programme.

Ostrich Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Thank you for the update - has she danced La Sylphide before? I should imagine that the role would suit her very well! She has the neccessary lightness and delicacy to make an enchanting sylph. Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 She had danced La Sylphide before the current season, but not with the Royal Ballet; in the current production (a new one by Kobborg) she had the opening night dancing with Ivan Putrov, and she was indeed very charming.
