Maria Khoreva is the first soloist at the Mariinsky Theatre. Reports from RIA News confirm she was injured during a Swan Lake performance. The theatre issued a note saying the staff hopes for a quick recovery and sends best wishes to Maria.
Khoreva trained at the Vaganova Russian Ballet Academy, graduating in 2018. Immediately afterward, she joined the Mariinsky Theatre company and has since participated in more than ten productions, including Giselle, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and Sleeping Beauty. Her rise within the company has been noted for its discipline, precision, and expressive artistry on stage.
Recent health updates indicated that Alexander Mitt, a noted theatre director, moved from intensive care to a standard ward. On November 13, he faced a second stroke, with prior reports noting pneumonia diagnosed on November 12. His condition was described as serious, and he received hospital care as the situation developed. Ambulance services were involved to ensure timely medical attention as symptoms appeared.
Earlier conversations around the troupe included reflections on prior collaborations, with actors and staff sharing memories about working with colleagues in productions such as Voronins. These accounts shed light on the evolving dynamics behind the scenes at the theatre and how long-standing professional relationships shape performances and rehearsals.
