Ivanchenko has all of ballet’s tricks in his arsenal, but his dancing goes beyond them. He has beautiful lines … his perfect landings are silent, as if the stage were covered in moss and his body were made of silk rather than muscle and bone.
The Washington Post
Yevgeny Ivanchenko was an admirable partner to Ulyana Lopatkina. His character is tortured by visions and he strives to enter the romantic world of the Sylph, which is guarded by Scottish warriors. The wide and free leaps, the beautiful poses and the drama of the acting form the image of a character who has as if descended from the pages of a novel by Walter Scott.
