Diana Vishneva performing in “La Bayadčre” at the Met.


Roslyn Sulas of the New York Times has a interesting article up about Diana Vishneva. If you're a fan of the principle dancer with ABT and The Kirov I suggest you read it.

When Diana Vishneva was 9, she was denied admission to the Vaganova Ballet Academy in Leningrad, the school that has produced generations of stars (Nijinsky, Pavlova, Nureyev and Mikhail Baryshnikov among them). Her spine was malformed and would cause her problems later, the authorities said. And her legs didn’t lift high enough.

Thanks for sharing a great article about Diana Vishneva who is my favorite ballerina.

She is a prima ballerina with both the Kirov Ballet in Russia and American Ballet Theatre in the United States.

I want to know more about her please post more articles, interviews of her.
