Konstantin Zverev as Rothbart, the evil sorcerer who tries to keep Odette under his spell of “swan by day, woman by night,” matched her drama. His line was lean and elegant, his movement clean and never superfluous.
The Examiner
The dancer’s aristocratic and ‘thoroughbred’ looks also project themselves onto his performing style: even when not moving his Oberon is a sleek and polished ruler whose wishes it is incredibly hard to refuse.
Kommersant
Konstantin Zverev succeeded in bringing passion to life as Espada. He literally enveloped the entire stage space with the expressiveness and passion of his performance. It was impossible to tear your eyes away from his magnificent ports de bras with the scarlet cape.
