Birdsall Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 It looks like Irina Golub has moved down to Second Soloist (she was a First Soloist). I mentioned earlier that Elena Yevseyeva has been promoted to First Soloist. Anastasia Lukina and Vitaly Amelishko have been promoted to Coryphees. Link to comment
Mashinka Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Do demotions occur in any other company? Link to comment
abatt Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I've never heard of a demotion. If management is unhappy with performance, generally the ballet company just does not renew the dancer's contract at its expiration. Link to comment
California Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Do demotions occur in any other company? Demotions were discussed on this site back in 2015: http://balletalert.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/40888-demotion-in-ballet/ The one big example of demotion within the same company was Leslie Browne, demoted from principal to soloist at ABT.

Euphra Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Probably it's because she's not dancing with the Mariinsky recently...? I mean, does anyone knows where she is now? I haven't seen her for years. Link to comment
MadameP Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Golub is married with at least one child Last time I saw her dance was in Young Lady and the Hooligan - January 25th, 2015, in a double bill with Leningrad Symphony and I cannot remember seeing her on the playbill since then, but maybe others can, but I do not think so?

MadameP Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 A few have left also. As it has been reported, Maria Shirinkina and Vladimir Shklyarov are going to Munich, although so far their names have not been taken off the roster. Two whose names HAVE been taken off the roster, and who are also going to Munich, are Alexei Popov (coryphee) and Ekaterina Bondarenko (corps.) Alexei is a real loss to the company, having excellent technique and several principal roles in his repertoire - including Albrecht, Nutcracker prince, Desire, Vaslav, James, Ivan the Fool, Mercutio and his final appearance role of Bambi. What a shame he never got the promotion he deserved. Link to comment
canbelto Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 A few names seem gone from the corps de ballet too. Link to comment

Natalia Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I noticed that the doe-eyed brunette choryphee Anna Lavrinenko is no longer on the Mariinsky roster. According to her FB site, she moved to the Universal Ballet in Seoul, South Korea, in January 2017: https://m.facebook.com/anna.lavrinenko.52 As the White Cat in SB: Odalisque in Corsaire, w/ Nikitina & Ivannikova: Link to comment
MadameP Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Yevgeny Konovalov is now a coryphee. He is a former Vaganova student of Selyutsky, with good arms and elevation who has nice princely presence and good partnering skills - he's danced Bluebird, James and many small solo roles recently. Congratulations to him! Edited July 8, 2017 by MadameP Link to comment
