Anna Ol and Artur Shesterikov White Swan Pas de Deux, Swan Lake Dutch National Ballet Gala, 8 Sept 2018, 19:30 Stopera
This year the gala for the opening night of the 2018-2019 ballet season was dedicated to Rudi van Dantzig. One of the works for which he is most admired is his production of Swan Lake which will be performed in March. I have seen extracts before but not yet the whole ballet but the little bits that I have seen persuade me that this is special. With van Dantzig's choreography, costumes by Toer van Schayk, how could it be otherwise?
On the opening night gala we saw two pas de deux from the ballet. The first from the white act stars Artur Shesterikov and Anna Ol as Siegtied and Odette. The second was the seduction scene from the black act with Daniel Camargo and Maia Makhateli as Siegfried and Odile. I shall discuss that second extract tomorrow.
