Coppelia at the Mariinsky
I'm hearing rumors that the Mariinsky will debut a new production of Coppelia staged by Alexander Sergeev…and it made me wonder when was the last time they performed Coppelia? It seems to have been a very long time ago. There are hundreds of clips of the Vikharev production at the Bolshoi. How/why did the Mariinsky let this ballet end up in a dust heap? So odd… Anyway, I'm glad it's coming back. (If rumors are true!) And I'm so curious about casting. The most recent clip that I could quickly find was from the Kirov in 1993, fearing Irina Shapchit dancing the Swanilda variation from Act 3.
youtube
I know nothing about Ms. Shapchit and discovered that she now goes by her married name, Irina Zavialova. She and her husband left Russia in 1995 for the West where they worked at several smaller ballet companies. It seems like she was one of the talents that "got away" in the turmoil of the 90s. She's now teaching in Norway from what I gather. Here's an interview with her from the 90s
It's almost a foregone conclusion that Shakirova will be first cast in this. BTW, I still haven't seen Ratmansky's production at La Scala, but I've heard that it's really good. It's on the list. The full production can be streamed on Medici TV:

Do you own any ballet history memorabilia?
Oh, I wish! I don't think my original dvd of Giselle with Alessandra Ferri counts as one, unfortunately :( My grandma had a couple of very old videotapes, but unfortunately I don't know where they ended up. If you have some I would love to hear about it, though :D

I was born in the correct generation because I loved those photos so much, I decided to look up the ballet so I could watch it and there it was ! I have added other full length performances as well and for most of the pieces I have added different ballet companies (if I could find) just because different ballet companies means different choreography ( not always but certain companies are reowned for their distinct style)
Enjoy!

[Review] An avalanche of debuts in Onegin at La Scala
Many debuts in Onegin at La Scala saw some exciting and many promising performances, even if many of the dancers lack the magic spark.
ONEGIN Alice Mariani and Gabriele Corrado, photo by Brescia e Amisano, Teatro alla Scala The current run of Onegin at La Scala saw a plethora of debuts – unfortunately, for most, they had just one shot at their role before another change of cast came along. One of the most promising recent additions to the company is Alice Mariani who was so impressive during the last season – her first season…

alexia simply not understanding that all ballet dancers go away for summer intensives every summer and getting so upset when bambi asks if she can audition to like paris opera or la scala or some other big european ballet companies and getting in and being so so desperate to go away for the summer
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to waffle about Bambi's career in Alexia's Version:
Bambi goes to a ballet school near Alexia's house until she's about ten when her dance teacher calls Alexia in and really apologetically tells her that they can't support Bambi's development anymore. Alexia's furious and almost starts yelling before she's told that Bambi's doing far too well for her age and they're recommending she continues her schooling with Ballet de Catalunya.
So Bambi moves to their ballet school at age ten and really excels. She starts going to summer intensives at twelve but they're all Spain based so it isn't too far to travel.
When she hits fourteen, she's given a recommendation to go to the summer intensive at La Scala and Alexia really freaks out because La Scala is in Italy and she doesn't want Bambi to go. She lets her go though and Alexia thinks that's it only for Bambi to get another recommendation to go to Paris Opera because Bambi is very much a classical dancer.
Alexia freaks out a bit more but again lets her go after Bambi begs.
At sixteen Bambi either joins Ballet de Barcelona or Ballet de Catalunya (leaning more towards the second one) as an apprentice before rising the ranks.
I haven't quite decided whether or not she stays there or if she goes off to other companies when she's older.

Colon Theatre
The Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires is one of the most important opera houses in the world. Its rich and prestigious history, as well as its exceptional acoustic and architectural conditions, place it on par with theaters such as La Scala in Milan, the Paris Opera, the Vienna State Opera, Covent Garden in London, and the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
In its first location, the Teatro Colón operated from 1857 to 1888 when it was closed for the construction of a new venue. The new theater was inaugurated on May 25, 1908, with a performance of Aida. Initially, the Colón hired foreign companies for its seasons, but starting in 1925, it had its own resident companies - Orchestra, Ballet, and Choir - as well as production workshops. This allowed the theater, by the 1930s, to organize its own seasons funded by the city's budget. Since then, the Teatro Colón has been defined as a seasonal theater or "stagione," capable of fully producing an entire production thanks to the professionalism of its specialized technical staff.
Throughout its history, no significant artist of the 20th century has failed to set foot on its stage. It is enough to mention singers such as Enrico Caruso, Claudia Muzio, Maria Callas, Régine Crespin, Birgit Nilsson, Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, and dancers like Vaslav Nijinsky, Margot Fonteyn, Maia Plisetskaya, Rudolf Nureyev, and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Esteemed conductors such as Arturo Toscanini, Herbert von Karajan, Héctor Panizza, and Ferdinand Leitner, among many others, have also graced the theater. It is also common for composers, following the tradition initiated by Richard Strauss, Camille Saint-Saëns, Pietro Mascagni, and Ottorino Respighi, to come to the Teatro Colón to conduct or supervise the premieres of their own works.
Several top-notch maestros have worked consistently here, achieving high artistic goals. They include Erich Kleiber, Fritz Busch, stage directors like Margarita Wallmann or Ernst Poettgen, dance masters like Bronislava Nijinska or Tamara Grigorieva, and choral directors like Romano Gandolfi or Tullio Boni. Not to mention the numerous instrumental soloists, symphony orchestras, and chamber ensembles that have offered unforgettable performances on this stage throughout over a hundred years of sustained activity.
Finally, since 2010, the Teatro Colón has been showcased in a restored building, resplendent in all its original splendor, providing a distinguished setting for its presentations. For all these reasons, the Teatro Colón is a source of pride for Argentine culture and a center of reference for opera, dance, and classical music worldwide.

“Roberto Bolle: An Athlete In Tights” celebrates Bruce’s three-year collaboration with the Italian ballet sensation.
Roberto Bolle was born in Casale Monferrato, Italy. At a young age, he entered the Theatre La Scala ballet school. Rudolf Nureyev was the first to notice his talent and chose Roberto to interpret Tadzio in the ballet “Death in Venice.” In 1996, at the end of a Romeo and Juliet performance and just 2 years after he joined the Theatre Company, Roberto was promoted to principal by Elisabetta Terabust who was at that time the Director of the Corp de Ballet. Since then he has starred in many contemporary and classical ballets and he has been invited as a guest artist to work with the most prestigious ballet companies in the world. In recent years, his international acclaim has only grown. Roberto is now the first male Italian ballet dancer to join the American Ballet Theatre as a principal.
In this monograph, Bruce Weber captures the spectacular convergence of artistry and physicality in this dance phenomenon, the grace and beauty that have captivated Roberto’s audiences around the world.
The book is largely pictorial in nature, with original photography and writing by Bruce Weber, original writing by Roberto Bolle, text by D.H. Lawrence, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and illustrations by Paul Cadmus and Jeremiah Goodman.
