Do you happen to know why a fair amount of principals and soloists at the Mariinsky rarely ever dances? From the 6 primas, only 3 are really active ones. Also, do you know why Shklyarov and Shapran rarely ever dances? Not as partners, just in general. I understand some of the principals/soloists are closer to retirement, but that's not their case.

The only one who I really consider 'inactive' is Vishneva. She's just not here, no longer dances classical repertoire, and rarely dances contemporary work fit for the concert stage. She's obviously on the site to keep pretenses but is clearly more involved in her foundation, studio, and choreographic platform.

Novikova has had her 4th child but is certainly still dancing. I believe she returned to the stage in March and recovered quite quickly. In May alone she danced The Legend of Love, MT's La Fille du Pharaon, Giselle, and in a gala. She also did both DQ and RJ in June and danced at a gala at Alexandrinsky Theater last week.

Kondaurova had major Achilles surgery but has been doing a similar amount of work. She's dancing about 4-5 performances per month including RJ, Lilac Fairy in SB, La Fille du Pharaon etc. This is not at all a small amount especially when they're all often different ballets.

Shklyarov dances quite a bit, he's still the go to partner for numerous MT girls and most notably he just had a huge choreographic evening honoring his 20th anniversary dancing at MT.

Shapran has had long stretches of time where she was absent to a combination of injuries and illnesses on top of maturity leaves. I wouldn't be surprised if the combination of these factors makes management more hesitant to cast her.

It's also not uncommon for older dancers like all listed here to end up with a lighter schedule in the summer, this seems to be a trend at both BT and MT. Dancers like their holidays.

AANND… she's off the playbill. Replaced by Daria Ionova. Oh, well…one can dream. I was hoping to see her back in the theatre! She’s back!!! Olesya Novikova is back on the playbill! I find it really interesting that Konovalov is her partner. He’s been featured a lot lately and I wonder if he’s the next male dancer to be promoted? 🤔

Favorite ballerinas in the Mariinsky?

My favorites at the Mariinsky overall are Novikova, Osmolkina, Skorik, and Shakirova. Also, Vishneva is obviously a legend, just not dancing much anymore. Finally, Ilyushkina and Khoreva are my favorite up-and-comers.

My top 3 Mariinsky/Kirov Auroras

3. Diana Vishneva

She is sweet, playful, and carefree. Her personality suits aurora perfectly! I may have been fooled but it seems that this is but a fortunate coincidence. By nature, she embodies Aurora.

2. Evgenia Obraztsova

In my (perhaps controversial) opinion, she is the greatest dancer of her generation. The most absolute classical lines with such great charisma and personality. She has the sweet charm of youth, and the maturity to show the growth and change in responsibility by act three. An absolute fairytale princess.

1. Alla Sizova

The Aurora. yes, she has incomparable leaps, extraordinary technique, and is all around absolutely darling. But it's more than all that. Her seemingly effortless interpretation is unlike anyone else. I'm not sure it can be captured in words, at least, not by me. If you are yet unfamiliar, please enjoy the most perfect production of The Sleeping Beauty

honourable mentions

olesya novikova, stunning in the role but she has made such an impression in other roles that i don't automatically think aurora for her 

altynai alsmurtnova, again just beautiful in what i have seen, but there is such little video and none of very good quality that it’s hard to place her as a favourite

Even narrowing myself to this one company, I could go on adding so many incredible dancers. So, I will stop myself here. Please let me know your favourites!

oh, i know you and taylor have a ballet au! i would love to hear about lariel and zrise in that au!!!! what sort of roles do you think lariel would commonly be given???

OH MY GOD YES!!! Tagging Taylor for the sake of it! @thesolemnhour Also sorry this became a monster I’m so wine tipsy.

So I’ve been actually thinking about this a lot. I think while Zrise is not one for really WANTING to do ballet by default. He would if he was made too. By his mother or grandfather. Similar to his sword training or joining the clergy.

Point of interest between Lariel and Zrise. I think making them do the same activity really brings out a really toxic element to their relationship.

Lariel is charming, likeable, and sincere. Her dance comes from the heart. She does practice but she is naturally talented. So she has a bit of a blind spot. Not realizing that not everyone can be talented or good at something they pursue. She is naive in that way. That she believes that if one puts their heart into it, they must have succeeded! Because that’s what matters to her! Also not realizing that others might not see the vulnerability in her dance. She puts her all into a performance as a show of herself. As self expression without words. She’s all about embracing herself.

Zrise is the opposite. He has to WORK for every scrap. He trained hard for his sword skills. He endured horrible treatment learning proper etiquette. He’s failed (or at least feels he has) at almost every creative and vulnerable endeavor he’s attempted. Growing flowers that disappointed his mother. He failed to learn the piano for his grandfather. He’s had to force his body to be something else. Stronger. So if he were to try and he wanted to succeed. He would be the type to overwork himself. Out of frustration and self hatred. He’s about fighting himself.

Lariel hides away from the spotlight, choosing background nameless roles. Zrise tries to get leading roles, but fails. Lariel turns down bigger opportunities. While Zrise is constantly given feedback and criticism on how he could improve.

For style.

I lean towards an all time favorite and also unforgettable suggestion by Taylor. For Lariel I love Olesya Novikova. The genuine enthusiasm, the quiet talent, the gentle grace but lively energy. She makes everything look effortless.

Zrise is harder to nail down. Only because his style to me would be a little worse in technical skill than a lot of male dancers I can think of off the top of my head. But I do love Sergei Polunin. He can be a little dramatic, powerful, showing off, taking up space, a little bit flirting with the audience. Once again to quote Taylor ‘little shit energy’

💕Listen I kind of already know the answer but 🩰💕

Ok, so the dancer will not be new to you, but I think the variation will be! I assign Lariel Olesya Novikova's Le Papillon.

I love Olesya Novikova to start. I find her and her dancing just like outrageously charming in a way that is insanely difficult to achieve. I just like her, no matter what she's in! She dances with this combination of vulnerability and joy that I fall in love with every single time. She dances like she still absolutely fucking loves dancing. I think of Lariel in basically the same terms!

I think Papillion is also a great Lariel variation. The cheer and effervescence of it really suits her. It sparkles, and so does she! It's also deceptively technical, and I think it would so be Lariel's way to dance it then innocently say, "Oh, is it supposed to be difficult?" Fuckin' sorcerers🙄

Today I learned that Novikova and Obraztsova's original Vaganova teacher, Inna Zubkovskaya, died in February 2001, their final year at VBA. Their class was absorbed by Marina Vasilieva for the final months at the Academy which is why she is listed as their teacher.

Gold Standard Roles...

ANON ASK: Who do you think are the “gold standard” for roles? This is so much fun! Questions like this would normally send me down a YouTube rabbit hole, but I'm just going to go off top of mind, so I don't get lost in the interwebs!

Odette/Odile - Ulyana Lopatkina, Ekaterina Kondaurova & Oksana Skorik both a close 2nd. Nikiya - Polina Semionova Gamzatti - Maria Alexandrova & Osipova Giselle - Alessandra Ferri (White Nights was my gateway drug to ballet fandom!) But Carla Fracci is just…chef's kiss. Raymonda - Olesya Novikova Aurora - Evgenia Obratsova Medora - Tereshkina (she can do it all) Gulnare - Nagahisa (I don't really recall to many Gulnares, but her stood out.) Swanilda - Natalia Osipova Kitri - Marianela Nunez WHAT A FUN ASK! THANK YOU!!!!
