Petra Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Has anyone seen or heard of these dancers? They are guesting with the Israel Ballet next month in Cranko's Onegin. The Israel Ballet has a good track record of guests - the last time they performed Onegin, Larissa Lezhnina danced Tatiana, but I have never heard of these two. (BTW I'm not sure of the spelling. I've only seen the names written in Hebrew script, and the Hebreew was probably transcribed from Cyrillic.)
Rosa Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Artem Shpilevsky is a leading soloist with the Bolshoi Ballet . From 2002 to 2006 he was with Berlin Staatsoper Ballet Company. I believe there are some videos of him on youtube.
Helene Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Here are some YouTube links on Shapilevsky: List of Shapilevsky videos: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer..._type=&aq=f Among them: Manon Links Page Don Q Bullfight with Cape Don Q Bullfighter Solo Sleeping Beauty Act II Hunting Party Solo Sleeping Beauty End of Act II Solo Sleeping Act III Solo Nothing for Turishvili under that spelling.
Rosa Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 He is Polina Semionova's partner in the YT clips of Malakhov's "Cinderella" for the Berlin Staatsoper Ballet, too.
Petra Posted October 10, 2009 Author Posted October 10, 2009 Thanks a lot. My YT connection is usually too slow for comfortable viewing, but I'll try to take a look. In any case, from his rep, it sounds like Shpilevsky should be a good Onegin.
