Vishneva as Madame X

Haglund would not make this up.

The Segerstrom Center for the Arts in LA  announced yesterday that Diana Vishneva will present a world premiere program November 3-6 entitled Madame X.  Marcelo Gomes will either be her Ricardo Montalban or John Forsythe - maybe both, you just never know.  Bernice Coppieters of Les Ballet de Monte Carlo and members of the Mariinsky will also star.

Murder, alcohol, blackmail, men-you-want-but-shouldn't-have, heartbreak, downfall – in short, perfect ballet material.

Stay tuned.
