Really impressed with Maria Khoreva's recent Raymonda. She was always technically great for this role, but I saw some huge development in her performance stylistically and maturity-wise this time around. I also really enjoyed her partnership with Minchul Jeon! Here is a video of her Act 3 variation. The instagram account koryushka_neva also has some videos up of this performance if you're curious .
Maria Bulanova is cast in Swan Lake…finally!
EDIT: I know this casting is controversial, but Bulanova has a lot of the attributes for a Mariinsky swan. Her strengths as Odile are obvious, but I think she’ll might surprise as Odette.
Maria Bulanova is debuting O/O (Swan Lake) on 30 May!

Things are finally looking up for Bulanova! ♥️
And Minchul Jeon and May Nagahisa will finally dance together in R&J (31 May).
I am so so happy for them. They look so good together.
hello, do you know who will dance the main cast at vaganova graduation performance? I was also wondering when will Mariinsky promote some dancers, does that happen at the end of a season or at the beginning of a season?
Really tried searching for the cast but couldn’t find much.
I know there are two premieres: “Ballads” set to the music of Chopin and an excerpt from Don Quixote.
I’d say it’s safe to assume Daria Pankova will perform the lead role in Don Quixote as she is a natural jumper.
Mark Osepkov will perform the lead or one of the lead roles in Ballads. I found him on an announcement thumbnail.

Not sure about promotions. I am confused about this too!
If anyone in the ballet community has accurate info. about promotions at Mariinsky, please help us out!
Ilyushkina was promoted in the beginning of the season, that is, September.
Batoeva in July, Shakirova in March, and Novikova in June of their respective seasons.
So, promotions can range anywhere from September to July. Basically, whenever the AD feels like it…
However, I think the current AD prefers the first quarter or so of the year for junior promotions.
Most were promoted after a great debut (for their position) so I don’t think it’s fixed.
I’ll dig some more for info. and see what I can find!

"[...] we were transferred to Olga Dmitrievna Iskanderova-Baltacheeva’s class. She had just retired from the Mariinsky Theatre, and we were her first class. She was young, about 40 years old, full of energy and strength. She taught us diligently, she had a completely different, modern approach, she was respectful to children. We did extra classes in the evenings. She was a good teacher, because if you look at the next generation, a lot of girls went through her who later became good ballerinas, for example, Sveta Ivanova, Dasha Pavlenko, Tanya Nekipelova and Veronika Part studied with her for six years. I can name her other students who worked at the Mariinsky Theater: Maria Chugai (now in Amsterdam), Victoria Brileva (now at the Bolshoi Theater), and Dasha Vasnetsova, although she did not graduate these girls, but led them until the first or second “course” [final years of study]."
