The Royal Ballet has announced that Russian ballerina Natalia Osipova will dance with the company as a guest artist in Swan Lake on October 10, 13 and 25. Osipova, one of the most exciting ballerinas of her generation, will be partnered by principal guest artist Carlos Acosta.
Tamara Rojo, who leaves The Royal Ballet as principal dancer at the end of the 2011–12 season to direct English National Ballet, will appear alongside Sergei Polunin in Frederick Ashton’s Marguerite and Armand next spring. The couple are scheduled to perform the ballet on February 12, 15 and 21. Since his departure from The Royal Ballet, Polunin has been dancing with the Stanislavsky Ballet in Moscow, most recently in Roland Petit’s version of Coppélia.
