Thanks much to Haglund'eeler, Dreamer, who alerted us that Bolshoi leading soloist, Igor Tsvirko, has joined the Hungarian National Ballet and will be appearing with the company at Lincoln Center this November. So far, he's been cast as Basilio in one of the two Don Quixote performances. Just noticed that the Koch website has the casting, but it's buried down and requires some extra clicks — it shows Leblanc as Basilio for both nights — so this addition of Tsvirko must be a very recent development. There is also some Swan Lake casting on the Koch website, but the company's website is now showing it NN which is the equivalent of TBA.
From the company's website:

WOW! Thank you for the information about Igor. He has become a well-loved leading man at The Bolshoi. I wonder if he will be a guest principal at Hungarian National Ballet and keep his place at Bolshoi as well. He is a very expressive and powerful dancer!!!

I’m getting more and more excited about seeing this company in addition to getting a good dose of the classics in the Koch Theater.
I wish someone would step up and give a big donation with the stipulation that the stage in the Koch Theater be named The George Balanchine Stage at Lincoln Center so that we wouldn’t have to cringe every time we talk about the location.

I have long thought that the theaters at Lincoln Center should be named – permanently – for the artists who were responsible for their creation, construction or raison d’être, i.e. the George Balanchine Theater and Leonard Bernstein Hall. Egomaniacal billionaires begone.

Please, which night is Tsvirko dancing in DQ? I don’t see him listed in the Koch website casting. Thank you.

Sue, no word on which night Tsvirko will perform. Here is the link to the company’s website where the casting is listed. His name appears second after Leblanc’s, but that could mean absolutely nothing. http://www.opera.hu/musor/megtekint/new-york-turne-don-quijote-2018/
