These, of course, included such classic Moiseyeviana, all present in that first 1958 outing, as The Partisans, with its startling images of horsemen and wartime combat, the amusing pomposity of Old City Quadrille, the delightfully surprising Two Boys in a Fight, and finally, the ceaselessly amazing powerhouse virtuosity of the Gopak. The concluding Gopak, the best known of all Russian folk dances, with its deep knee bends, powerful kicks, and high jumps, lacked the fire I remember from the last time I saw the Moiseyev. With his rough-hewn elegance, Andrew Drost, formerly of Boston Ballet II and Ballet South, made a striking debut in Gopak, Rostislav Zakharov's variation (staged by Bujones) on the Ukrainian folk dance. |
