Well, this post is rather belated, considering that the Mariinsky wrapped up their NYC tour over a month ago, but better late than never, I guess!
My friend, very much in awe of the Mariinsky's talented ballerinas, commented that they are all diamonds--all different, but all priceless! So I decided to take her comment a step further, and actually assign diamond colors/types to the six ballerinas I saw in leading roles during the NYC tour.
Here goes:
Ulyana Lopatkina: White (Colorless)
Flawless, impeccable, imperial; a purist of the highest order.
Viktoria Tereshkina: Yellow
Warm and sunny, radiating confidence and cheer.
Yekaterina Kondaurova: “Heart of the Ocean” Blue
Majestic, with a touch of mystique, and richly sensuous too.
Yevgenia Obraztsova: Pink
Flirty, feminine and youthful.
Diana Vishneva: Red
The rarest color of them all, one created by a special flaw in the crystalline structure. Not perfect, but unique, exotic, unforgettable.
Alina Somova: Synthetic
Not gem quality. Industrial use only.
