"Onegin wrenches at my core. The story of Eugene Onegin and his lost love Tatyana is the perfect arc for regret. At first callous, bitter, jaded, vain, Onegin ages and realizes his lack of appreciation for simple, honest love. This role becomes more textured and full each time I dance it. What I once thought was the right tone for Eugene, the first time I danced it, is now something totally different in feeling." - David Hallberg.

Daria Klimentova and Vadim Muntagirov in Swan Lake
"Daria has just returned from Moscow where she was performing Swan Lake with Vadim Muntagirov at the Theatre in the Kremlin. It is an enormous stage and holds 6000 audience, (including President Putin). Daria was worried about taking Swan Lake to its’ home but the Russian critics said “Normally it is thought that only the Russian Ballerinas are truly empathetic with Swan Lake, however this was proved wrong with Daria Klimentová’s wonderful performance”."
