In "La Belle" by Jean-Christophe Maillot and Les Ballets de Monte-Carlo (ph. Alice Blangero)

To celebrate Olga Smirnova’ s birthday we propose to our readers the long interview with the Bolshoi ballerina our correspondent from Moscow Catherine Pawlick realized for the n.11 issue of Danza&Danza International. Smirova had been just awarded with the Danza&Danza Award for "best dancer of the year 2018" thanks to her appearances in Italy during the Bolshoi tournée. Enjoy!
