Alina Somova as Tsar-Maiden, The Little Humpbacked Horse, Stanislavsky Music Theatre, Moscow. Mariinsky Ballet on tour – March 2, 2010.Somova was enchanting as the Tsar Maiden. Her bendy body serves the choreography well, her long legs drawing elegant lines and soaring high for Ratmansky’s very challenging diagonal of hops en pointe. She also gets the balance between screwball and romance just right. It’s love at first sight for The Tsar Maiden, who is amused by the goofy Ivan, yet immediately sees in him husband – and Tsar – material. -- source link
