The stellar promotions of Yuka EbiharaDawid TrzensimiechMaksim Woitiul, and Vladimir Yaroshenko are hardly surprising as the dancers have long distinguished themselves among the rest First Soloists. We all know, appreciate, and admire them on a daily basis as they perform the main roles in our grand ballet repertoire: they have an unparalleled record in dancing leading parts on our stage. They are the pride of our company, audience’s favourites, and a magnet for new ballet lovers. Their performances never fail to leave a lasting impression.
