On 30 March our artist gave a guest performance at the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre in Vilnius, dancing in a traditional version of Don Quixote as staged by Russia’s Vasily Medvedev. Partnering her was a leading soloist of the Vilnius theatre, Gennady Zhukovsky. Soon afterwards, on 3 April, Chinara Alizade graced the stage of the National Academic Grand Opera and Ballet Theatre of the Republic of Belarus to perform as part of a jubilee concert held by a private ballet school of the Belarusian star, Marina Vezhnovec. Ms Alizade danced a pas de deux from Vasily Wainonen’s ballet Flames of Paris together with a first soloist of the Minsk ballet company, Japan’s Takatoshi Machiyama. (pch)
