Opening Night DON QUIXOTE Mariinsky Theater Ballet, Yuri Fateev - Acting Director of the Ballet Company (as per Playbill) January 13, 2009 Kennedy Center Opera House A fabulous, rousing performance opens the run. However, before the review, here's what everybody wants to know: Which dancers are in town & slated for solos? Fun Hint: They've brought the new sensation of the most recent Vaganova Graduation Class -- Anastasia Nikitina -- for the Act 4 Solo Bridesmaid Variation at two perfs, including the opener. Corrected Casting, as per insert to the playbill, which has casting for all perfs: Kitri - Diana Vishneva - Gorgeous! It was a 'Diana is On' night! Overcame an off-balance moment near the start of the 32 fouettes...but Diana is all about the total artist...and she sizzles! How nice to see her maturation in this, her very first role as a 15-yr-old sensation on the stage of the Mariinsky, in Jan 1994. Basil - Yevgeni Ivanchenko - solid, sleek partner Flower Seller Girls - Yana Selina and Xenia Dubrovina, the latter replacing N. Gonchar (Selina/Gonchar were scheduled for all performances, so perhaps it will be Selina/Dubrovina for all?) Espada - Konstantin Sverev *male sensation of the night! (also on Wed, Fri, Sat eve; role danced by A. Sergeev on Thurs, Ioanissian on Sat mat & Baimuradov on Sun) Street Dancer - Alexandra Iosifidi replacing Kondaurova, who replaced Somova as Dryad Queen (Iosifidi repeats at all perfs, with exception of Tkachenko at Sat mat and Kondaurova at Sat eve...only one more Somova Dryads Queen scheduled, on Sunday) Gypsy Lead female - Ryu Ji-Yeon *gorgeous & flexible, replacing Polina Rassadina (Ryu repeats on Thurs & Sat; also danced by Bazhenova & Smirnova-Slivkina) Gypsy Lead male - Islom Baimuradov...though it looked a bit like Fedor Murashov to my eyes. Whoever -- he was a Human Spark Plug. Huge audience fave! (role also danced by Mussin & Murashov, later this week) Dryad Queen - 'Big Red' Ekaterina Kondaurova, replacing Alina Somova - extraordinarily beautiful, majestic, perfect! What jetes across the stage in the coda! (Kondaurova repeats this role at most perfs, except Somova on Sunday...if Somova shows) Amour - Valeria Martinyuk - pert, adorable, also impressive in jetes (at most perfs, sharing the role with Elena Yushkovskaya-Vasyukovich) Mercedes (the tavern girl in red) - Elena Bazhenova, terrific, who knows how to 'milk' this role better than anyone, if not possessing the deepest of backbends we've seen from Bolshoi ladies (scheduled for most perfs, except for Rassadina on Wed, Fri & Sat eve) Act 4 Fandango Leads - Yulia Smirnova-Slivkina & Karen Ioanissian, both sharp and precise (at all perfs, with exception of Bazhenova on Sat eve) Act 4 Bridesmaid Variation - Anastasia Nikitina *the new coltish sensation, straight out of the Vaganova Academy. Nice. Soloist possibilities. Bit of a frozen grin...but this was her US debut, so she was understandably nervous. Not as jarring as Somova; a heck of a lot more musical. Again - nice possibilities. (Nikitina repeats this only at the Sat mat; Tatyana Tkachenko will dance this most other perfs (all but Sat mat and Sun); Kondaurova is listed for Sunday) Don Q - Vladimir Ponomaryev (at all performances) Sancho - Stanislav Burov (at all perfs.) Lorenzo, Kitri's father - Igor Petrov (at all perfs) Gamache - Soslan Kulaev (at all perfs) Corps de Ballet - not the sharpest in the Kirov-Mariinsky annals, yet the ladies were quite beautiful in the Dream Scene -- and much more poetic than the Bolshoi could ever hope to produce. They've brought a bunch of raw recruits/recent grads, with a sprinkling of vets, such as Androssova, Vasilieva, Luvkovskaya. Interesting that Maria Shirinkina and Daria Vasnetsova -- both of whom have danced leading roles at home and abroad recently...Vasnetsova just debuted as Odette/Odile, in fact -- are here only for corps work. As expected on tours, the troupe did not perform 100% of its DON Q as it does in St. Petersburg. The Gypsy Camp scene lasted about 10 minutes, without the charming little mime episode of the 'doll theater.' There were no children/Little Cupids at all, altering the patterns of the Dream Scene. No Oriental Dance in the Tavern Scene, even though the Playbill credits Anisimova as the choreographer of that piece. There were only two intermissions, with Act IV-The Wedding immediately following Act III-Tavern, so Kitri and Basil were not able to dance in the group number that closes Act III. All in all, 90 minutes of performance time + two 30-minute intermissions. Blooper Moment: This being the opening night, there were a few technical kinks with the movement of scenery, e.g., there was a very long pause of about 3-4 minutes between Don Q falling from the windmill and the start of the Dream Scene...with lots of laughter and Russian chattering from the corps, who had to stand in place for a while until the previous scenery was moved, all of this with the curtain up but the lights down. A Mariinsky conductor -- Pavel Bubelnikov, I think -- led the Kennedy Center Opera House Orchestra, which was sluggish at times. I noticed how Vishneva tried hard to brighten their pace with her castanets, during her Act I solo. According to the Playbill, Olesya Novikova will dance today, after all...but we may get another 'corrections insert' tonight. So will it be Novikova or Somova as Kitri this evening?

Заголовок сообщения: | Maria Kochetkova takes home Gold |
Photo by Daria Klimentova SF Ballet Star Brings Home the Gold By Sajid Farooq It's official: San Francisco has one of the best dancers in the world. The Bay Area's own, well via Russia anyway, Maria Kochetkova won the gold medal as the Russian soloist on NBC's "Superstars of Dance" on Monday night. What perfect timing, considering Kochetkova is dancing in Yuri Possokhov's new ballet "Diving into the Lilacs" Wednesday and Friday night at the San Francisco Ballet. Tickets are still available for the show. And the Russian beauty loves dancing in the Bay Area. "Ah yes, I like San Francisco," she said in a recent interview. "It's a really unusual city—it's very interesting, it has a lot of different sides of it, so yes." If you missed either her final of semifinal performance, you can check them out below. Congratulations Kochetkova. |
