The least problematic element in modern companies is almost always the hero, Prince Siegfried. This June it was particularly gratifying to catch Ruslan Skvortsov in the Bolshoi's broadcast (just the way he stood and walked beautifully encapsulated the heroic aspects of the role).

I have admired the handsome Ruslan Skvortsov in several roles on screen, not least as Prince Siegfried in "Swan Lake"; I could never have guessed the fun he has as the Ballet Dancer, who, dressed as a sylph, improbably lures the Old Dacha Dweller (Alexey Loparevich) into indiscretion. The joke lies in how good and how bad a ballerina he makes: he has line, he has adagio, he even performs point work, but he never takes ballerinadom very seriously, and at one point he pauses to scratch his hairy chest.
