Future Mariinsky Principals - Who's Next? Batoeva Khoreva Kolegova Osmolkina Shakirova Yevseyeva etc

My personal favorites are Nagahisa and Shakirova as they have their own 'it' quality that is hard to find from other Mariinsky dancers. But I don't know traditional Marrinsky would embrace their style. I predict Khoreva to be the next Principal. Osmolkina should have been promoted earlier.

I dont know if l am correct, but l think they did want to name Novikova principal, but she declined for a while as she had small children.

Now the Mariinsky has 7 male principal and I do not think they will rush in made promotion at this moment.

Shakirova is the best! It,s really powerful. Technique is really great♡

Shakirova, Iliyushkina are the best

I know who of three lovely ballerinas I would choose by only this film view of the ballerinas and without being in the audience to the performance view. Thank you! However, I will say that the Marinsky Theatre continues to present the most stunning show case costumes for their ballerinas and cast that I have ever seen of most ballet companies in the last 8 years. And of course, the orchestra is the soul of the house that credits history of how great music launched this mysterious art form, ballet. Brava to all the ballerinas. 🌹💜

Love every one of them! 💕

kolegova

Khoreva!!! She is great!!! Bravo!!!!

I believe Khoreva will be a principal before long, and with good reason. She keeps getting better and stronger, she is working smart. She also has a slight edge in her physique and lines that is just genetics, like Sylvie and Sveta - who people criticized/criticize for similar things to Khoreva. Tons of dancers have social media but Maria makes more people stop and watch because she just has that “it factor.” JMO. I really would like to see her in Romeo and Juliet. I also think she will be good as O/O.

In my opinion here Batoeva in unforgetable! Then beautiful are also Iliushkina, Osmolkina and Shakirova. In the future for sure: Khoreva and something special is also Kolegova!

All of them are fab, exp for Khoreva. Is she a former gymnast? Over-promoted in social media. Saw her once and it was below average National Ballet dancer.

Khiteyeva is now listed as a Coryphee.Congratulations!
And Koshkaryova is listed as an Intern! The only Intern in Mariinsky. Koskaryova has another year to study at Vaganova.

How much is spent on podiatrists?

The sad part is that none of these dancers will ever be seen outside of Russia, due to Putin's war.

Батоева и Шакирова

Спасибо. Конечно, Хорева. Возможно, Батоева или Шакирова. Мей мы потеряли, можно только плакать(((

Ильюшкина и Кошкарева вашим примам уже в спину дышат)))

It's a Russian ballet! Which of the young ballerinas dances Odette - Odile in "Swan Lake", she will be a prima ballerina in the near future. Individual successes are not enough, the future prima needs to be able to withstand Odette-Odile in "Swan Lake" completely, and so that tomorrow everyone will only talk about it. For men, such a touchstone is the "Corsair".

Мурашки побежали от Прыжков и полеты Ренаты Шакировой!! Брава, я обожаю ее!!! У нее есть индивидуальность!! А так все девочки хороши, они ровные , танцуют хорошо

As I am LITERALLY OBSESSED with pointe work and stare continually at a ballerina's feet in order that I don't miss any, it was ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL to watch this series of clips as those doing the filming gave you REALLY CLEAR shots of the feet!!!!

Maria Iljushkina.

Has anyone seen the Mariinsky website? It looks as though Nadia Batoeva has been promoted! :)

Nadezda Batoyeva is officially the new Ballerina at Mariinsky! Congratulations!

It was Batoeva! It's really long deserved.
Shakirova is next definitely.

And now we know! Batoeva has been promoted to a principal dancer! Very well deserved in my opinion. Congratulations to the new Mariinsky prima!

It's a new version.I love the original, but this dance is pretty, too~♡♡♡

Some dancers will never be promoted but deserves the promotion, and some will be promoted in the future. Well I think it isn’t fair for the ones that don’t get promoted, and I don’t know why.

Batoeva, as Julietta is wonderful and amazing! Vladivostok Mariinka 28/07/2022

All of them!!!!!! But that Yevseyeva......

May Nagahisa will probably come back in September 2022 ;according to an interview of Fateyev they are working on her visa now.

Very difficult to decide based upon performance in different roles..All of them are superb (could they be otherwise in the Marinsky..?) however, I found in Khoreva and Matvienko the grace that, in my opinion, mesmerises the spectator...

Khoreva, of course

Maria Khoreva!!!!!!!!!!

Илюшкина - лучшая !!!

Осмолкина - чудо

They are all great but......I miss Ulyana Lopatkina SO much!!!!!

I would have liked to see all of them dancing the same role, same act or close to it.

They don’t look that interesting. Perhaps later. Not a lot of musicality or finesse. I couldn’t get through the whole video.

SHAKIROVA IS THE BEST !! TECHNIQUE , POSTURE , BEAUTIFUL PHISIQUE, ENERGY ... ....SHE IS COMPLETE !!!

Per me dovrebbero essere promesse tutte, anche se secondo me la prossima prima ballerina sarà Maria Khoreva

Osmolkina, Shapran & next's to the end...

Ah, yes, now that we have finally gotten what we wanted and Novikova bas been promoted into her rightful place as a prima, and now, Batoeva has been promoted, as very very well deserved, we may now focus on who will be next!

Shakirova is so lovely! I hope she is next so much poise and what a joy to watch on stage! What a charisma on stage and with the flexibility, musicality, and technique to bak it up as well. She is a star!

Speaking of stars, I am certain that Khoreva will be promoted, also, to principal soon, but not before she performs Romeo and Juliet (I think she would make a lovely Juliet) and/or Odette/Odile. She has been a soloist now for 5 years, so perhaps in her 6th or 7th year she will be promoted. Yet, I am hoping Shakirova will be promoted first. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore Masha, but I think Shakirova is more deserving and in her repetoire is Juliet. We shall keep a lookout for Shakirova's name for the upcoming performances of Swan Lake.

I also think that May Nagahisa will be a principal in time. For anyone else, I am not sure. I think Ilyushkina may be a principal one day.

It seems like Mariinsky dancers have sadly lost their spark and technique. They risk technique for the sake of tricks.

Shakirova is the most exciting presence. She seems to add a new layer of charisma every year. No ordinary dancer but an enchantress.

Уже не секрет - Батоева очередная прима.

I vote for Maria Khoreva!!! Elegant, graceful and absolutely technical ❤. And she's a very lovely person, too!

I was there when both Batoeva and Shakirova were named as new Prima Ballerinas. I hope to see Mai Nagiihisa as well one day
But not Choreva. Trust me she lost so much of her technical arsenal

Shakirova

So Novikova became Prima after 19 years of dancing and that it took so long, is widely considered a scandal. I don't think Fateyev wants to look ridiculous again.
The other Primas go as follows: Visneva very soon after graduation( don't know exactly), Kondaurova after 11 years, Tereskina and Somova after 5, Skorik after 8.
Based on the above,notwithstanding their abilities, the following are unlikely to be named: Osmolkina 23 years of dancing, Yevseyeva 21, Kollegova 22, Matvienko 21, Shirinkina 16.
The next two still have a chance: Batoyeva 13 and Shapran 11.
The rest dance 7 years or less.
Fateyev does not seem to be in a hurry to name Primas in general. 6 years passed between naming Skorik and Novikova.
So it is possible that a second soloist or lower will be named.
I think Shakirova and Khoreva are the frontrunners.
