Ottawa mad for the Kirov

Ann Marie McQueen, writing for the Ottawa Sun, was bowled over (though she wasn't surprised) by the Kirov's Swan Lake, at Ottawa's National Arts Center this weekend:



"The famed Kirov Ballet flitted into the National Arts Centre, all ethereal ballerinas and powerful, tautly muscled dancers, wowing a sold-out crowd at Southam Hall just the way everyone knew they would."



McQueen was especially taken with Alina Somova, who will dance the Odette/Odile role on Saturday, November 11 at The Wang Theatre:



"The undeniable focal point of the evening was prima ballerina Alina Somova, a lithe, impossibly slim dancer who thrilled most when she was clad in black to play Odile, the evil twin of Odette."
