Hi Melmoth! What do you think about Jacopo Tissi and Italian dancers in general? (I read that one of your favorite female dancers is Alessandra Ferri)

I’ve written about Tissi here. I don’t have an opinion on Italian dancers as a whole. I’m partial to Bolle and I adore Ferri, but there are no other Italian dancers on my radar.

What do you think of the étoiles at the POB (present)?

I’m not overly familiar with POB, though I have a lot of respect and admiration for French dancers. I always find the POP étoiles sophisticated and refined. If I had to chose a favourite, I’d go with Myriam Ould-Braham. She was Nikolai’s partner, so I’m more familiar with her work. I love her effortless charm and sincerity.  

There's a newly uploaded clip of Stanislava Postnova dancing a duet in Giselle as one of the paysans at the Bolshoi. Your thoughts on her dancing?

Like I said here, I’m a bit hesitant to give my opinion these days... I think Stasya did well. Like any green corps dancer tackling their first soloist role, she suffered a few minor missteps (if you can even call them that), but her potential is obvious and I’m sure she will improve and go from strength to strength.
