Casting is Out For Premiere of Lavrosky's Romeo and Juliet at the Bolshoi!

April 4th (opening night):

Juliet: Elizaveta Kokoreva Romeo: Daniil Potaptsev Mercutio: Daniil Lopatin Tybalt: Mikhail Lobukhin

April 5th:

Juliet: Evgenia Obraztsova Romeo: Artem Ovcharenko Mercutio: Alexei Putintsev Tybalt: Alexander Vodopetov

April 6th (matinée):

Juliet: Eleonora Sevenard Romeo: Denis Rodkin Mercutio: Mark Chino Tybalt: Nikita Kapustin

April 6th (evening):

Juliet: Svetlana Zakharova Romeo: Artemy Belyakov Mercutio: Dmitry Smilevsky Tybalt: Denis Savin

April 7th:

Juliet: Ekaterina Krysanova Romeo: Vladislav Lantratov Mercutio: Denis Zakharov Tybalt: Igor Pugachev

Very excited about some of the line-ups! I'm especially excited about Sevenard performing Juliet as well as the Kokoreva-Potaptsev pairing, and Krysanova-Lantratov will be lovely. But I'm not as crazy about Zakharova performing Juliet. I just don't see her as the youthful and sweet fourteen-year-old Juliet anymore. I know her and Krysanova are relatively similar in age, but for me I see Krysanova far more as Juliet. Still, it's Svetlana Zakharova, so I'm sure she'll pull it off.

Anyway, I'm very excited for this premiere!

P.S. Would love to see Vinogradova and Maymula as Juliet in this ballet at some point as well!

Who do you consider as the most prominent young dancers both at the mariinsky and at the bolshoi?

Great question!

When I hear "prominent", I think of the dancers that the management sees as the most useful and important. So this is not my personal opinion on the best dancers, but what I think the theatres and public view as the most valued.

Mariinsky:

Maria Khoreva and Maria Ilyushkina are right now really seen as the future of the company. They both have the right height and proportions that the Mariinsky prefers. While Maria Ilyushkina seems to get more love from the older Russian balletomanes, Maria Khoreva is loved by the younger ballet fans.

Renata Shakirova is right now carrying so many shows, she performs almost everything and is depended on by management whether she's promoted or not

Nikita Korneyev is really being pushed as the young male star right now after Caixeta left, especially as a great partner for Ilyushkina

Bolshoi:

I would first list the five newly promoted principals, they're all young and really seem to be the future of the company: Elizaveta Kokoreva, Alyona Kovalyova, Eleonora Sevenard, Egor Gerashchenko, and Dmitry Smilevsky. But I would say out of these five especially Sevenard, Kokoreva, and Smilevsky are getting a lot of attention

Eva Sergeenkova has been pushed as the new star by Vaziev, even younger than the new principals. I would say to a lesser extent, Arina Denisova is being pushed too, though she hasn't been accepted as much by Russian balletomanes yet.

Alexei Putintsev is also really getting a lot of roles and has grown so much in the last few years. He's finally been promoted to First Soloist, but honestly could be a Leading Soloist, he's definitely important to the company as well.
