"And that too was the motto of the evening’s star, power-jumper Ivan Vasiliev. Seen as Ali in ABT’s superior version three years ago at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Vasiliev was Conrad on Friday, and he commanded the stage and his gang of ne’er-do-wells with mighty charisma. Wearing long, shaggy hair, Vasiliev was a believably fun and roguish leader; when he fired himself up to put down a mutiny, you understood why his friend and nemesis Birbanto backed down. Other male soloists were equally enjoyable. With his dark countenance, Alexander Omar brought a dashing wiliness to Birbanto. The tall and effortlessly graceful Victor Lebedev brought a high-toned classicism to the slave variations.
Most of the female soloists, in contrast, were a disappointment, their style dated and their presentation choppy. Ballerina Ekaterina Borchenko performed dutifully as Medora, but she was a cheerless presence, her jaw set, her torso stiff and her poses mannered. Of the three Odalisque soloists, only Svetlana Bednenko registered assurance, bringing excitement to her series of pirouettes. And Anastasia Soboleva turned Gulnare into a flirtatious sprite. The Mikhailovsky women need some special coaching."
