The Mariinsky Theatre officially announces that its prima ballerina Ulyana Lopatkina is retiring from ballet.
Due to serious professional injuries, Ulyana Lopatkina decided to officially end her dancing career. “It is hard for me to express all my thoughts, feelings, and emotions. This difficult profession is extremely demanding and my ballet career has given me a lot. I want to express my gratitude to all those whom I have met along my creative path. All those who were my mentors, friends, assistants; those who inspired me, were demanding of me; those who consoled me and took care of me, who believed in me, thanked me and supported me. All those who worked by my side and collaborated with me. And my audience, all those who understood me and gave me rounds of applause. I keep you all in my heart! I want to say ‘thank you’ to every single one of you! My joy is bittersweet. I say goodbye to you with gratitude and with that sense of satisfaction from a job well done”, says Ulyana Lopatkina in an official message.
