Take tomorrow mit Diana Vishneva.

Prima ballerina Diana Vishneva has captivated audiences with her stunning performances at the Mariinsky and as a principal dancer with the American Ballet Theater. Yet in conversation with prominent Russian cultural journalist Sergey Nikolaevich, she offers a more personal vision of success.

Redefining success.

When the world shut down last year, Diana stepped into the unknown and pursued an independent project. She found strength in facing a new challenge that would not be measured by the results. “I don’t know what it (success) is…but if it opened you up personally or made you see yourself in a new perspective, that’s success.”

This exchange with a revered artist provides a glimpse into a highly specialized world – and insight that carries well beyond the stage.
