Divine Natalia Osipova Brings the Grand Ballet Program Force of Nature to Riga
The prima ballerina of the Royal Ballet in London, hailed by The Independent as the most sought-after ballerina in the world, has already showcased Force of Nature on both sides of the Atlantic. This one-of-a-kind performance blends complex pointe work in classical ballet with numbers choreographed by some of the most outstanding contemporary choreographers. Osipova will be joined by her fellow soloists from the UK and the US.
Osipova is inimitable. Her technique is unique, and her artistic charm is astonishing. Even before she had completed her studies at the Moscow State Academy of Choreography, the ballet world was already abuzz with talk of her incredible, soaring jumps. Accepted into the Bolshoi Theatre as a corps de ballet member, she performed eight solo roles in her very first season there. Lively as quicksilver and swift as lightning, she seemed to radiate heat as soon as she appeared on stage. "Wildcat!" Osipova says, recalling the beginning of her career. "A force of nature," say those who saw her at that time.
