The Royal Ballet has secured one of Russia’s “superstar” ballerinas, with the appointment of Natalia Osipova to join the company. Osipova has wowed audiences in London at the Coliseum in recent weeks, dancing with the visiting Mikahilovsky Ballet where she is currently a principal. The news that she would return to London in a more permanent basis in the coming 2013/14 season at Covent Garden, left many dance experts thrilled. Her first performance will be the female lead in Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet opposite Carlos Acosta. [Source]
