sorry everyone - Blogger has gone belly up and I can't publish your lovely comments !
ReplyDeleteI voted, naturally, for your excellent blog and this is what I said: "'Ballet News', with its interviews with prominent dancers revealing their lifestyle, is full of fascinating information and insights into the heart of the world of professional ballet dancers. It gives us balletomanes a view of the realities of a dancer's life that we could never get from just watching performances."
ReplyDeleteI voted :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck !
ReplyDeleteI voted :) Your blog and all of the original, insightful content unavailable anywhere else on the web is a balletomane's dream. I hope you win, good luck!
ReplyDeleteI've voted for you too, such a great blog it was easy to gush about it xxx Good luck
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome :) A competition would be awesome! I can't wait to read all of your coverage of the Bolshoi London Tour, only 9 days to go!
ReplyDeleteI've just had to buy a new ticket for the 8th August in order to see Osipova and Vasiliev perform as the Bolshoi have just announced the castings have been changed. Svetlana Zakharova and quite a few other dancers will no longer be performing in London.
The new casting list is only available on the Russian version of the Bolshoi website at present:
http://www.bolshoi.ru/ru/season/press-service/anounce/index.php?id26=1584
ToThePointe : Thank you very much ! Yes, I was aware of the casting changes but am waiting for the press office to release an English version as I'm afraid I can't read this and probably, that's the same for most of my readers. I'm still waiting ! If you are able to translate, that would be really, really helpful !
ReplyDeleteButterfly - thank you, it means a lot. Not winning awards, but your comments.
ReplyDeleteNo problem :) I'm using google toolbar to translate so it's a very literal translation whisch distorts some of the names. I've corrected where I can using the Bolshoi Ballet Company list:
