Bolshoi Dancer No “Fourth Swan”

Reinstated Bolshoi ballerina Anastasia Volochkova says she won’t accept lesser roles now that she’s been rehired by the Bolshoi Ballet. “She has objected to comments by the Russian culture minister that she should take any ‘fourth swan’ role she is given after winning back her job. She said: ‘I have played the leading role in nearly every classical ballet’.”
