The Moiseyev Dance Company first came to Boston in 1958 - a Celebrity Series engagement at Boston Garden. They have come back nine times since, including this past Sunday's sold out performance at Symphony Hall. Valerie Gladstone gave the performance a warm up with this article, which includes this quote from company director Elena Shcherbakova about recently deceased (at age 101!) founder Igor Moiseyev:
"There is only one Pushkin, there is only one Tchaikovsky, there is only one Dostoyevsky, and there is only one Igor Moiseyev."
And there was this lovable quote from Karen Campbell's review of the company for Monday's Boston Globe:
"If the excited overflow crowd heading into Symphony Hall was any indication, the hottest tickets in Boston yesterday afternoon weren't just for the Patriots' game, but for the Celebrity Series presentation of the Moiseyev Dance Company."
Truth be known there were more than a few individuals watching the Patriots' game backstage (along with some curious company members). Much like the Patriots, however, no one missed a beat. This might be too spooky for some of you to handle, but the Moiseyev Dance Company will be in Tucson, AZ on THE DAY OF THE SUPER BOWL IN GLENDALE, AZ a mere hour or two away. There is no way this is all just a coincidence.
