I just returned from my last performance in the Vienna State Opera.
I am sorry again that I was gone from blogging for some time. Last weeks have been nice. I was working on La Spectre with my mother and sorting out a lot in my life besides ballet. One thing is sure now. I am leaving Vienna as my residence and the ballet company as of May.
…
Here is a list of my performances in the months of May and June:
- May 04th - Stars of the 21st Century in Toronto, Canada
- May 14th - Hommage a Rudolf Nureyev Gala in Malaga, Spain
- May 20th - Full Don Quixote in Kasan, Russia
- May 23rd & 24th - Gala in honor of Rudolf Nureyev in Kasan, Russia
- June 1st - Full Don Quixote in St. Peterburg, Russia at the Mikhailovsky Theatre (Maly Opera)
- June 4th & 5th - World Ballet Stars in Seoul, Korea
- June 20th & 21st - World Ballet Star Gala in Taipei, Taiwan (premiere of ‘La Spectre de la Rose’)
I am preparing another post about ‘La Spectre de la Rose’ in the moment. Stay tuned!

Hey there. Well first of all, Happy New Year 2008 to all of you even though I am one week late. I wish everyone who reads this first of all health and then… everything else! I often catch myself worrying about stupid things and then I have to remind myself that my number 1 priority is staying healthy. So stay healthy, all of you!
Well I had a nice New Year’s eve and am currently working on my second principal performance of the prince in our Nutcracker here in Vienna. I will have the premiere very, very soon on January 9th. Wish me luck
! Unfortunately there will be no video this time since they are very strict here with performances being recorded.
Beside this I know that this blog is being read by a lot of people from the United States. Just to let you know and remind you, I will be dancing in New York on February 11th in the Lincoln Center on the gala “Stars of the 21st Century”! Get a ticket if you want to see me perform live ;).
Hmmm, some friends told me that I have a social network account on Orkut, which I do not! One more time: I have no Orkut account! Anybody seeing an Orkut account, that is not me, but a person pretending to be me ;). One more time in portugese for my brazilian friends (I apologize in advance for the google translation): Não tenho conta do Orkut! Or in spanish: No tengo cuenta de Orkut!
Well something more…you know, I am kinda busy these days and therefore am unable to answer mails, comments and such from people who admire me or like my work and would like to know me better. Therefore I was looking to a way in which I could answer some questions which would interest not only one person, but a group in the same time. So I thought of that: write me one or a couple of interesting questions, send them to me, no matter which way. It may be through a direct comment to this post, and email or myspace message or whatever. Out of these question I will try to pick the most interesting ones and answer them in a post here on my blog (hopefully there will be more than one and I will have the possibility to make a series out of it
), so my answer will not only go to this particular person, but you as a reader will get to know me better!
Take care!
