"Casting information for the Covent Garden season"
 
   The provisonal casting was announced earlier this week.

http://www.ballet.co.uk/dcforum/DCForumID18/3.html#45

Needless to say, there will be quite a few changes in the next few weeks. I will make updates here as soon as I have been informed of any cast changes. Please post here too if you learn of any reliable information.

Thanks Bruce, Kevin et al to set up this wonderful Kirov Forum!

Well aware this is still an early stage, but what's struck me most looking at the cast info. is that Vishneva, not Lopatkina, is supposed to dance the lead on the first night of Bayadere. If true, this is going to be her debut in the role on London stage? (I seem to remember she never previously danced Nikiya here in either productions; i.e. Ponomarev/Chabukiani version and Vikharev-reconstructed original version)

   Naoko, you are right. This will be Vishneva's London debut as Nikiya. She didn't dance in the Vikharev's reconstructed version at Covent Garden last time, or in the Ponomarev production during the Kirov's earlier seasons at the London Coliseum in the 1990s. Though Lopatkina won't dance the opening night of La Bayadere, she will have the honour of dancing the closing night of this Covent Garden season.

   Not having checked for a while Diana Vishneva's website, I noticed that it has updated the dates of her London performances, which agree with the provisional casting information above.

On Daria Pavlenko's website, it is stated that she is to dance on 21, 24, 26, 27 and 29 July. All dates but 21 July agree with the casting Kevin provided ; there might be a chance Daria Pavlenko finally does the last Swan Lake, instead of Vostrotina, who knows... I'll keep my fingers crossed until the performance...

   Yes, Leonid, they were rehearsing today.
Vostrotina will not dance Swan Lake in London this time.

   Thank you the information, but extremely disappointed to hear that Diana Vishneva will not be dancing Ballet Imperial. Surely this would have been a highlight of the season.

   It did come from a usually reliable source who worked with the Kirov Ballet. I am only hoping this is not true.

Fritzi, the casting has changed slightly. Irina Golub will still dance on Saturday matinee, but her Romeo will be Andrei Merkuriev instead.

   NO7, there are no more changes to the casting for Swan Lake today (Wed.) Tomorrow night Daria Pavlenko will dance with Igor Kolb.

I also heard that Viktoria Tereshkina will dance the first night of Balanchine's Ballet Imperial on 26 July instead of Diana Vishneva. Tatiana Tkachenko will dance on 27 July.

   Looking at John Ross' new photos in his galleries it would appear that Pavlenko has been rehearsing Steptext with Vladimir Shishov.

   For the performance on 25 July, Irina Golub will dance Juliet instead of Natalia Sologub. Andrei Merkuriev will dance Romeo as scheduled. And for the matinee on 23 July it will be the same cast - Golub, Merkuriev.
