Ask Responses: Tough Questions #3

Do you think that either Vishneva or Kondaurova are jealous of Maria Khoreva’s quire rise? Weren’t they both either bashing the younger generation (Vishneva) or bashing people getting promoted quickly without working their way up (Kondaurova)? Weren’t Vishneva and Zakharova promoted after only a year? Yes, it’s longer than Khoreva’s waiting time, but I don’t think anybody would have bashed them like this. So why Khoreva? And maybe Vishneva feels competition to be Kovaleva’s best student ever.

I’ve received some tough questions recently (six of the, to be exact). I find these particular questions challenging for a number of reasons: some subject matters are potentially controversial; my personal opinion on certain subjects is not especially nice and I’m cautious when it comes to sharing it; or I simply don’t have enough information to give a good answer. Either way, I will do my best to answer these questions honestly.

To clarify: Diana Vishneva warned the younger generation of dancers about the dangers of social media and putting all their eggs in that particular basket; Ekaterina Kondaurova criticised younger dancers for steamrolling their way into the company. Kondaurova’s comments were made around the time Khoreva joined the Mariinsky and shot through the ranks, so it’s been assumed that the comments are directed at her.

“Ballet has become mediacentric, but I am worried that very young dancers gain fame too quickly. It’s not right: public interest will fade, while the time one should have invested into becoming a serious artist will have been lost.”

— Diana Vishneva

I can’t imagine that either Vishneva or Kondaurova are jealous of the younger dancers (I’d be really disappointed if they were), but Kondaurova’s comments really annoyed me at the time because they were mean-spirited and unnecessary. I wrote about this at length here and here.

Yes, Vishneva and Zakharova were promoted very quickly, but this practice wasn’t as common as it is today. Dancers tend to progress in their careers relatively quickly now, and they are certainly given major roles earlier, which isn’t necessarily a good thing (can lead to injury; they may not be emotionally or physically ready for the role; etc.)
