Luxembourg 2003, my first gold medal

During my season with Royal Ballet I got my first gold medal in Luxembourg. I worked with Messerer and Agadjanov on these variations and a good friend of mine Nadine Maclean choreographed the contemporary piece for me and I think it's the most work I'm proud of. I was very happy to be there as I was offered my first job in Luxembourg.







Contemporary piece

Prix de Lausanne 2002, I am 18 here

I was 18 years old when I did this competition, it was my last year at Bolshoi school. I won one of the first prizes and got an apprenticeship with Royal Ballet in London.

New Don Quixotte videos!

Here are some new videos of my premiere in Don Quixotte last year.

ENB's Nutcracker at the Coliseum

Reviews:

"On the first night, Maria Kochetkova was a vivacious Clara. She has a sweeping line, and dances with expansive glee."

Independent

"With the exception of Maria Kochetkova's fleet Clara and Fernando Bufala's whipcrack Russian, the performances tended to be fine rather than great..."

Telegraph

"All this is achieved partly by the prominence given throughout to Drosselmeyer, presented as showman, magician and also storyteller. Fabian Reimair, good-looking and surprisingly young for this role, played it on opening night with cheerful charm, making much of a strong personality and polished technique. Young Maria Kochetkova matched him equally as the heroine, little Clara - a real poppet."

Stage

"Maria Kochetkova made an elegant debut in Clara's russet bob and white satin pyjamas, skimming through feathery lifts with Yat-Sen Chang's springy Nutcracker prince."
