Reviews:
Opus 19/The Dreamer
“Maria Kochetkova and Davit Karapetyan shone in the lead roles.”
San Francisco Examiner
Ghosts
“I have never admired Yuan Yuan Tan (Tuesday) or Maria Kochetkova (Wednesday) more than in the main duet”
The New York Times
I’m dancing Odette/Odile in the opening night of Swan Lake, January 23rd, 8pm and on Thursday, January 28th, 8pm
Reviews:
“As Odette and Odile, Maria Kochetkova danced both the fragile heroine and the evil temptress spectacularly, her arms moving with unique grace and beauty.”
San Francisco Examiner
The ballet season kicks off this Wednesday night with the San Francisco Ballet 2010 Opening Night Gala in honor of Artistic Director Helgi Tomasson’s 25th anniversary with the company.
I’ll be dancing the Balcony Pas de Deux from Romeo & Juliet with Joan Boada.
Reviews:
“Maria Kochetkova, partnered with Joan Boada, was luminous in the Balcony Pas de Deux from Tomasson’s “Romeo and Juliet.” Even when she stands still, Kochetkova seems to be in elegant, gentle motion.”
San Francisco Examiner
There is an exhibition of Erik Tomasson’s photos of the San Francisco Ballet over the past 5 years at the Museum of Performance & Design (January 12th – March 6th, 4th floor of the Herbst Theatre)
