Nina Ananiashvili

---

Nina Gedevanovna Ananiashvili was born on March 28, 1963 in Tbilisi, Georgia. Her father, Gedevan, and two older brothers, George and Levan, are geologists. Her mother, Lia Gogolashvili, is a philologist. Because Nina was often sick as a child, her parents decided to enroll her in figure skating lessons in order to improve her health. By the time she was six years old, Nina was a ranked skater, and at ten became Georgia State champion in the junior division.

In 1969 Ananiashvili entered the Georgia State Choreographic Institute. Tamara Vykhodtseva was her first teacher there. The great Vakhtang Chabukiani also took little Nina under his wings. Her progress was so impressive that it drew the attention of teachers from the Moscow Choreographic Institute, who convinced her parents to allow Nina to continue her studies there. In 1976 Nina was accepted at the Moscow State Choreographic Institute. Natalia Zolotova became her primary teacher there. During her second year in Moscow, Nina formed a partnership with Andris Liepa (the son of the legendary Maris Liepa), and while still a student at the School, took part in prestigious ballet competitions. In 1980 she won the Gold Medal (junior group) at the 10th International Ballet Competition in Varna, Bulgaria. In 1981, dancing with Andris Liepa, Ananiashvili won the Grand Prix (junior group) at the IV International Ballet Competition in Moscow. (Liepa received a gold medal.)

Nina Ananiashvili graduated from the Moscow Choreographic Institute in 1981 and was accepted into the Bolshoi corps de ballet. Her teachers in the company were Raisa Struchkova and Rimma Karelskaya; in 1987 Ananiashvili began to study with Marina Semyonova. Although she was officially in the corps de ballet, from the beginning Nina danced only solos and various pas de deux at company galas.

In 1982, during her first season with the Bolshoi, Ananiashvili danced principal roles in The Wooden Prince and Les Sylphides. Maya Plisetskaya cast Nina as Kitti in her own staging of Anna Karenina. Plisetskaya herself danced the title role in that performance.

In 1982, during the Bolshoi’s tour to Hamburg, Germany, Ananiashvili made her debut as Odette-Odile in Grigorovich’s version of Swan Lake. In that same year Nina made her first appearances with a foreign company. Partnered by Alexander Bogatyrev she danced Swan Lake with both the Alberta Ballet (Calgary, Canada) and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet.

Ananiashvili was officially promoted to the rank of soloist in 1983. During the 1983-87 seasons Ananiashvili added Giselle, The Nutcracker, Don Quixote, Raymonda, Le Spectre de la Rose and Romeo and Juliet to her repertoire.

In 1985 she won the Gold Medal (senior group) at the Vth International Ballet Competition in Moscow and was made a principal dancer of the Bolshoi Ballet the same year.

In 1986, Nina Ananiashvili and Andris Liepa were awarded the Grand Prix at the IIIrd USA International Ballet Competition at Jackson, Mississippi, USA.

In 1986, after a long interval, caused by a strain in international relations, the Bolshoi dancers were allowed to tour the West once again. Ananiashvili’s London performance of Raymonda was greeted with delight by both the public and the critics. That year became a turning point in her career. The changes in the political system of the country finally made it possible for her to accept guest engagements abroad.

In 1988, Ananiashvili and Liepa became the first Soviet dancers to be invited to guest with the New York City Ballet. There, Nina danced the lead in Raymonda Variations, Apollo (her partner in both ballets was A. Liepa) and Symphony in C (second movement, with Otto Neubert).

That same year at the Bolshoi, Ananiashvili debuted in The Sleeping Beauty and The Golden Age. She also performed the title role in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Mlada, which was choreographed on her.

In 1989, when the Bolshoi premiered its Bournonville Divertissements, she danced in The Kermesse de Bruges. In subsequent years Nina Ananiashvili became an international ballet superstar. She was the first Russian ballerina to be invited by the Royal Danish Ballet, where she danced in August Bournonville’s La Sylphide, Napoli, and Flower Festival at Genzano. Indeed, she was the first non-Danish ballerina to perform these roles, which are the essence of Bournonville’s art, in his Theater. Ananiashvili also worked with the Kirov (Mariinsky) Ballet, dancing in Don Quixote, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and the premiere of Lavrovsky’s Romeo and Juliet when that ballet returned to the Mariinsky stage after a long absence.

Nina Ananiashvili didn’t forget her native city either. She first danced in Tbilisi in 1983 while only a soloist with the Bolshoi, appearing in Swan Lake and in Chabukiani’s version of Don Quixote partnered by Yuri Vasyuchenko. Later she danced Giselle, La Sylphide, and other ballets with the Tbilisi company.

While performing with the Royal Ballet at Covent Garden, Ananiashvili worked closely with Kenneth MacMillan, dancing in his Prince of the Pagodas and Romeo and Juliet. In London she also performed Symphony in C, The Nutcracker, Ashton’s La Fille Mal Gardee and Cinderella, Fokine’s Firebird, among others.

Ananiashvili has appeared as a guest artist with the Rome Opera Ballet, La Scala Ballet, Royal Swedish Ballet, Ballet de Monte Carlo, Birmingham Royal Ballet, Boston Ballet, Munich Ballet, Tokyo Ballet, with the National Theaters of Norway, Finland, Portugal, with Belgrade Ballet, Sofia Ballet, Hungarian National Ballet and with Goteborg Ballet. In 1992-93, Ananiashvili appeared with Perm Ballet, dancing Swan Lake (N. Boyarchikov), Don Quixote (V. Vasiliev), and Giselle. She also established her own touring group "Nina Ananiashvili and International Stars". Dancing with so many different companies has allowed the ballerina to considerably broaden her repertoire. It now includes more than 90 roles.

In 1993, Nina Ananiashvili became a principal dancer with American Ballet Theater. Her repertoire with that company includes Swan Lake, La Sylphide, Don Quixote, Sleeping Beauty, La Bayadere, Romeo and Juliet, Manon, Cinderella, The Merry Widow, Offenbach in the Underworld, Symphony in C, Esmeralda, Sylvia Pas de Deux, Snow Maiden, and Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux.

In 1996, Ananiashvili put the young Aleksei Ratmansky on the map by commissioning from him two new ballets for her touring group. Charms of Mannerism was the first of these, and in 1998 it was followed by Dreams of Japan. Dreams has been performed to great critical and audience acclaim in Moscow, Tokyo, Paris, Alma-Ata, and Tbilisi. It has also received a Golden Mask Award and the Producers Association of Japan Award for the best ballet of the year.

In 1997, Ananiashvili danced Giselle at the first performance of Vladimir Vasiliev’s version of the ballet. The following year she created the title role in Houston Ballet’s The Snow Maiden (chor. Ben Stevenson). She was partnered by Carlos Acosta. Later the ballet was staged by ABT where Angel Corella took on Acosta’s part.

In 1998, Ananiashvili debuted in Mozartiana.

In 1999, Ananiashvili became a principal of Houston Ballet where she danced in Manon and in Ben Stevenson’s Three Preludes and The Sleeping Beauty.

On Nina’s initiative, the Bolshoi acquired an evening of Balanchine ballets in 1999. At the premiere of the Balanchine programme at the Bolshoi, she danced both Mozartiana and the second movement of Symphony in C.

In 2000, Nina danced Aspiccia at the world premiere of Pierre Lacotte’s La Fille du Pharaon. In December of that year Ananiashvili and Fadeyechev established their own company, the Moscow Dance Theater. In two seasons (2000-2001 and 2001-2002) they acquired an original repertory which included Alexey Ratmansky’s Charms of Mannerism, Dreams of Japan, and Leah (2001), Stanton Welch’s Green (2000) and Opus X (2001), and Trey MacIntire’s Second Before the Ground (2001). In 2002-2003, the Dance Theater lost its rehearsal space and the season consisted of a sole performance (at the Mariinsky Theater, St. Petersburg, 2003) of Charms of Mannerism and Leah. (Leah was nominated for The Golden Mask Award). Members of the company included the Bolshoi’s Maria Alexandrova, Anastasia Goriacheva, Elina Palshina, Inna Petrova, Dmitri Belogolovtsev, Dmitri Gudanov, Konstantin Ivanov, Yuri Klevtsov, Ruslan Pronin, Andrey Uvarov, Sergei Filin, a principal of Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Theater Victor Dik, Natalia Sats' Children’s Musical Theater soloists, E. Petrichenko and N. Chumakov, and a soloist of American Ballet Theater Giuseppe Picone. Bolshoi soloist Irina Zibrova served as the repetiteur of the company.

In 2002, another role was added to Ananiashvili’s vast repertoire, that of the Operetta Diva in Anthony Tudor’s Offenbach in the Underworld (ABT), revealing her as a marvelous comic actress.

In April 2004 Ananiashvili danced the title role in one of the first performances of Anna Karenina at the Royal Danish Ballet (choreography by A. Ratmansky, music by G. Bizet - R. Schedrin, partner - K. Greve). In the same month, partnered by Sergei Filin from the Bolshoi, she danced in Swan Lake at Teatro Municipal de Santiago (staged by Ivan Nagy, this Swan Lake became the 11th version of the ballet performed by Ananiashvili).

Ananiashvili has been partnered by some of the best male dancers of our times: Carlos Acosta, Charles Askegard, Dmitry Belogolovtsev, Peter Bo Bendixen, Alexander Bogatyrev, Julio Bocca, Fernando Bujones, Yuri Vasyuchenko, Arne Villumsen, Vecheslav Gordeev, Kenneth Greve, Guillaume Graffin, Maximiliano Guerra, Patrick Dupond, Igor Zelensky, Alexander Kolpin, Angel Corella, Jose Manuel Carreno, Mikhail Lavrovsky, Andris Liepa, Nicolas Le Riche, Vladimir Malakhov, Irek Mukhamedov, Giuseppe Picone, Yury Posokhov, Farukh Ruzimatov, Ethan Stiefel, Andrei Uvarov, Aleksei Fadeyechev, Sergei Filin, Nikolai Tsiskaridze, Nikolai Hübbe, and others.
