Unlike many, Alina Somova carefully protects her private life from the attention of the press and spectators. She does not meet with the press and does not give interviews.
Life hidden behind seven seals
Indeed, it is practically impossible to find any personal information about the prima ballerina of the Mariinsky Theater. She was born in Leningrad in 1985. She graduated in 2003 from the Academy of Russian Ballet. A. Ya. Vaganova, one of the best ballet schools in our country, which gives unsurpassed technique and acting. In addition, children study the history and theory of music, playing a musical instrument, solfeggio, general subjects and much more. In the same year she was accepted into the junior composition of the ballet troupe of the Mariinsky Theater. On its stage, the formation of a talented girl from a simple dancer to a brilliant prima, which is applauded not only in our country, took place. Alina Somova climbed the steps of skill quickly.
Already in 2004, she shines in the party of Masha (The Nutcracker) in Japan in Tokyo at the National Theater. The year 2006 was marked by the first performance in Vienna in the part of Odette-Odile from the ballet Swan Lake in the version of Rudolf Nuriev. As Alina Somova herself said, it’s right when this party is not danced by an experienced ballerina, although technically it is complex, but very young, which can put more tenderness in the image of Odette and light coquetry, which will conquer the prince, in the image of Odile.
Inveterate cheerleader “Zenith”
Alina Somova believes that, having been born in St. Petersburg, one cannot help but root for the native Zenit. She remembers all the players since 2002. Especially once stood out Arshavin and Kerzhakov, who, however, have now changed. Even on tour in Manchester, the troupe on large televisions, located on either side of the wings, watched the performance of your favorite team at the 2008 UEFA Cup final match. In the dressing room, the ballerina has photos of her favorite team.
Personal life
In 2006, Alexei Yagudin, the Olympic champion, admitted to the correspondent that he was very attracted to Alina Somova. The ballerina is a very purposeful person, and she has almost no time for meetings due to her busy tour schedule. She was 21 years old at that time, and she lived separately from her parents. But many years have passed since then, and this couple has not connected their lives. To the question: “Who is Alina Somova’s husband?” - one can only answer presumably, because the ballerina herself keeps this a secret. They say that they were dancer Danila Korsuntsev. But the degree of reliability of this information cannot yet be established. Very carefully hides from prying eyes his marital status Alina Somova. Personal life is deeply hidden.
It is known that in March 2013, her daughter Eve turned six months old. Since then, one photo accidentally remained. And so all life is devoted to theater and performances.
Roles and attention
For playing the role of Tsar Maiden in the "Humpbacked Horse" Alina received the Golden Mask Award. The great Maya Plisetskaya congratulated the young ballerina.
This is the best confirmation that she is a worthy representative of the Russian ballet school.
Refined, with perfect lines, with a sense of posture - this is Alina Somova. The ballerina performs the leading parts not only at the Mariinsky Theater, where the audience specially comes to Somova. They leave a poetic, detailed impression of the performances of the beloved dancer. Poems in prose are created about Sogova with Swan Lake, where it is said that the heart of the play is a bird-girl, doomed and reverent, the most tender Odette. She is expressive. All her ballet forms - a long neck, slender legs, light arms - create the image of a charmed bird with wings, with fingertips - feathers. But now, leaning against the chest of the prince, bowing her head to his shoulder, she turns into a girl. Becoming Odile, she shows other facets - seduction and treachery. The wings are no longer tender. These are the wings of a bird of prey. However, the charm remains, for in Odile there is no malice and meanness. The finale of the ballet, going to the sounds of harp and violin, makes the hall freeze and watch how swans swim under the moonlight.
In 2015, foreign media called Alina Somova "Hope of the Year." She received such a high title for playing the role of Raymond in the ballet of A. Glazunov. The party is technically complex, it has 5 variations, each of which reveals an image from different sides. This exclusive performance delighted the public and the press. To date, the dancer's repertoire consists of approximately 20 roles.
