Margarita Simonova

Margarita Simonova - dancer of Russian origin, prima ballerina of the Warsaw Opera and Ballet Theater, played the main role in the film-novel "Bolshoi" directed by Valery Todorovsky.

The girl was born on December 23, 1988 in the Lithuanian city of Visaginas. Margarita's father is a nuclear engineer from Russia, at that time he worked under a contract at the Ignolinskaya nuclear power plant.

From the first years of her life, the girl showed herself to be an active child, so at 4 years old, her parents sent Rita to an acrobatic studio. Six years later, for medical reasons, Margarita was forced to leave the sport. Doctors discovered in the girl a slight prolapse of internal organs, which threatened the emergence of many diseases and pathologies.

Such a step was given to the girl with difficulty, but the parents found a compromise and sent their daughter to the ballet studio to the teacher Tatyana Yezhova. The stage became the home for Simonova, a talented girl could be seen at all city celebrations and festive school concerts.

Three years later, the teacher advised the student to enter the Lithuanian National School of Arts named after Mikalojus-Konstantinas Čiurlionis, which was simply called Čiurlenka. At the age of 13, having passed three entrance exams, which consisted in checking the physical fitness, physical data and artistic abilities of the applicant, Margarita Simonova becomes a student at a boarding school.

At the auditions, the girl received a low score in the first two stages, but Margarita's artistry convinced the teachers that they were facing a young talent with great prospects. The girl was immediately assigned to the second year of the educational institution. In order to study at the Churlionis School, Margarita had to master the Lithuanian language.

During her studies, Simonova repeatedly participated in international ballet competitions and received awards. After graduating from the ballet school, Margarita Simonova becomes a dancer of the troupe of the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theater.

But the girl's dream since childhood was the European ballet scene. Margarita decides to move. Initially, she went to Germany, but on the way she decided to be cast at the Polish Metropolitan Theater. The National Opera and Ballet Theater in Warsaw is not inferior to similar groups in Austria, Italy, Germany, France, the ballet troupe of which collaborates with world-class choreographers John Cranco, Wayne Eagling, John Neumeier. The building of the Warsaw Opera House itself is recognized as the largest in Europe.

The competition for the vacancy of the dancer of the creative collective of the Warsaw Theater was impressive - 50 people per seat, and lasted eight hours. After discussion with Margarita Simonova, who was among the few who received the approval of the masters, the leaders of the troupe offered a contract for five years at once. The young ballerina, who, in addition to her talent, was distinguished by ideal physical parameters (weight - 47 kg, height - 168 cm), was immediately identified as the leading figure of the troupe. Simonova received her first role in Igor Stravinsky's ballet production of The Rite of Spring.

In 2014, a new stage began in the creative biography of the ballerina. Russian director Valery Todorovsky, director of the films Thaw, Hipsters, Country of the Deaf, has begun preparations for filming a new full-length film about the Bolshoi ballet. A group of assistants to the master started looking for actors for the main roles, but soon the experts realized that only professional dancers could play the main characters on the stage.

For more than a year, Valery Petrovich selected the performer of the role of Yulia Olshanskaya, a ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater, until the assistants finally saw on Instagram a photo of the young Warsaw prima Margarita Simonova. When the dancer once discovered in messages an offer from a group of Todorovsky's assistants to audition for the director's new film, the girl thought it was someone's joke. But soon, after the sent video with a story about herself, Rita was already flying to Lithuania for the first tests, and then to Moscow for the final approval.

The plot of the film is similar to the fate of Margarita herself. The film tells about the life of a young ballerina, who was born in a provincial town, but by a lucky coincidence got to a good teacher in the capital's ballet school, and then became the prima of the Bolshoi Theater. The themes of love, jealousy, and stage rivalry are also interwoven into the plot. The main character Yulia, played by Ekaterina Samuilina in childhood, and Margarita Simonova as an adult, sometimes has to make difficult choices, show firmness of character, and sometimes sacrifice expensive ones.

The ballerina's mentor was played by the star of Soviet and Russian cinema and theater Alisa Brunovna Freundlich. Before filming, the actress had to consult with professional ballet teachers about the specifics of the profession. Olshanskaya's rival on stage was played by a young Russian ballerina, coach-teacher of a dance and choreographic studio in Moscow, Anna Isaeva.

Another well-known European dancer, choreographer and winner of the Vaclav Nijinsky Prize Nicolas La Rish took part in the film. Other partners of Margarita on the working site were Russian film actors Valentina Telichkina, Alexander Domogarov, Yana Sexte, Sergei Volobuev.
