L'heureux promu :

[Gabriele Steidler]

Masayu Kimoto will be dancing another performance of Don Quixote on April 1st due to injury of First soloist Vladimir Shishov.

[haydn]

Wird Masayu Kimoto zum "Wiener Karl Paquette", der alle Verletze ersetzen muß, und der "Retter der Kompanie" ist?

[haydn]

Gaby nous informe que Masayu Kimoto remplacera Vladimir Shishov, Premier soliste, en Basilio, le 1er avril. V. Shishov est blessé.

Masayu Kimoto serait-il en passe de devenir le "Karl Paquette" du ballet de Vienne, chargé de remplacer tous les blessés et de jouer les "sauveurs" de la compagnie?!

[Gabriele Steidler]

I think Manuel Legris really appreciates this dancer and wants him to perform as much as possible and I feel that Masayu Kimoto is a person who likes to work hard (like Manuel Legris, by the way).

It is true that there are not many Basilios left at the moment.
Roman Lazik, another First soloist of the Wiener Staatsballett, who is a tall and very elegant dancer and whose style reminds me a little of Jean-Guillaume Bart is not in the cast for Basilio but for Espada, a role which fits him much better.
And Denys Cherevychko, who gave a beautiful performance in the premiere, will be dancing with Qimin Wang, Principal dancer of the National Ballet of China, on 25 april and 1st may.

15 year old Prisca Zeisel will be dancing the first bridesmaid in Don Quixote on 27 march.
She has already danced Delibes-Suite (choreography: José Martinez) in the Young Talents evening and has received excellent reviews in all the newspapers.

[sophia]

Is she already in the corps?

[Gabriele Steidler]

Prisca Zeisel is in the corps since January 2011.

Quelques vidéos de la très jeune Prisca Zeisel, que l'on trouve sur Y. Pour les amateurs de six o'clock :

Elle est très jolie, mais il faut qu'elle travaille davantage ses bras, et ses sauts sont encore un peu trop hésitants pour la variation de la demoiselle d'honneur. En tout cas c'est bien de donner des variations aux jeunes, ça les fait travailler justement!

[Gabriele Steidler]

These videos were made about a year ago. She has progressed a lot since then.
The problem is that there is nearly no Austrian dancer in the company and therefore I think that they will promote her quite soon.

Manuel Legris, Artistic Director of the Wiener Staatsballett, was the chairman of the adjudicating panel at the competition "Young British Dancer of the Year" which took place in London last week.

The first prize went to 16 years old Anna Rose Sullivan who danced Aurora's variation act 3 and Kitri's variation act 3.

My sister who attended the final at the Linbury Studio Theatre on Saturday was impressed by the high level of the candidates (all of them are students of the Royal Ballet School).
In his final speech Manuel Legris praised the stunning performances of all the young dancers and emphasized that the future of ballet in England "looked sunny".

Leonid Sarafanov had to cancel his performances of Don Quixote on 25 and 27 march due to injury.
