ロシアのカキコでは、ぞくぞくとKristinaのジュリエットに関するコメントが、そのほとんど全てが、「ステージに出てきたその瞬間からジュリエットそのもの、彼女はジュリエットとなった、素晴らしい！、魂がみえるパフォーマンス、またみたい！」といった内容です。「不思議ちゃん」のKristinaですけれども、本当に良かったですね。
舞台挨拶のビデオをみつけました、ほんのちょっぴりですが、感動が伝わって来ましたよ：

Romeo and Juliet with Shapran and Askerov:
Until tonight I wasn't very impressed with Kristina Shapran because she simplified steps like Giselle's hops on pointe.
So I was unprepared for her Juliet. She was totally committed on a dramatic level and had some beautiful arm movements. In my opinion, she danced very impressively for her debut. She was girlish in the early scenes and became a woman in love. I actually thought I would dislike her Juliet, but she completely won me over.
Timur Askerov was also better than I have seen him in the past, but his acting was more pasted on with some melodramatic expressions, although Shapran and he had decent chemistry together. I was surprised that he managed the lifts since he looks short and tiny/skinny. In the final act Romeo has to lift Juliet above his head as she is in a plank position and then bring her down and take her up the steps with one arm holding her back as she is draped in front of him. This takes amazing strength, and Askerov managed it. Better dancers have faltered in this move.
Alexei Kuzmin danced Tybalt, and I have noticed him in small parts. He has a very rugged masculine look (almost Spanish looking to me), and his depiction of Tybalt was manly and subtle but I missed the outright villainous portrayals that Kuznetsov and Igor Kolb created in this same role.
David Zaleyev was a spitfire zippy Mercurio. I didn't think he could erase my memory of Sergeyev in this role, but he came close. His death scene was terrific.
Anastasia Nikitina and Alexei Popov were Juliet's friend and troubadour respectively. Popov is a joy to watch with his jumps and nice lines. Nikitina was lovely with gorgeous arms. She slipped and fell early on but danced beautifully before and after the incident.
I am always shocked to read that people dislike Lavrovsky's Romeo and Juliet. The sets are stunning. Costumes are great (although Tybalt's is over the top). The choreography is gorgeous. What is there not to like? I have seen Cranko's version live and MacMillan's on DVD, and I like Lavrovsky's version the best. A young man with his girlfriend sat next to me, and after the first 10 minutes he was sighing and seemed bored to tears UNTIL the sword fighting. He sat up and after that he got into the whole ballet.
彼は、KristinaサゲでもあるRBV2さんの良き友人ですから、悪口をいろいろと聞かされていたのでしょう。しかし、このジュリエットをご覧になって、180度方向転換されたかも？英語圏で評判のよろしくないラブロフスキー版についての言及もありました。曰く、「評判がよくないが、ステージも背景も衣装も振付も全て素晴らしいと思う、ベストのロミジュリ舞台だと思う」とありました。1000％同意です。私も、数年前にロンドンでみて、ベストなロミジュリだと思いました。英語圏でのラブロフスキー版の低評価は全くの不当です。私は、マクミラン版は全く好きではありません、と言うか、ロイヤルの振付家はみんな好きでありません、アシュトンも．．．。
オマケで、5月にロパねーさんが音頭を取った（？）、モス音でのチャイコフスキー生誕175周年記念ガラで、Kristinaの眠りの結婚式パ・ド・ドゥのニュース映像です、相手役はIvanchenko、お衣装が原型眠り衣装をワジーエフ時代に複製したものです：

来季には、白鳥の湖や眠りのデビューもあるかもしれませんね？

お茶目で可憐な不思議ちゃん、でも、美貌は本物。演技、結構うまいですね！
