Although it has reminded some of Rudolph Nureyev’s jump to the West during the Soviet era (exemplified years later by Claude Lelouch in “The one and the other”, through Jorge Donn), the case is not the same despite some trimmings Similar. The star ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, Olga Smirnova, left the company to join the Dutch National Ballet, in protest at the war in Ukraine. “Smirnova has openly denounced the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has made her work in her native country unfeasible,” the text said. “The Dutch National Ballet is an ideal place to further my career as a dancer. I’ve been thinking about this kind of decision for a long time. The current circumstances have simply accelerated this process,” said the 30-year-old dancer. The official Dutch text also confirms the arrival at the company of the Brazilian dancer Victor Caixeta (22 years old), soloist of the Mariinsky Ballet in Saint Petersburg, a decision that the artist had already announced last week.
