295 Main Street Pittsfield, Maine 04967 (207) 487-6360 pvt57@aol.com 2008 Ballet Great Teams With Maine Maestro - Michael D. Wyly We decided to begin by selecting our most dynamic and uplifting numbers that already existed in the repertoires of our two organizations. We picked composers who started something. 2007 Nutcracker - Michael D. Wyly It’s Nutcracker season again and the arts sections of New York Times, Wall Street Journal, L.A. Times – all the big ones – are already rife with reviews. Andrei Bossov will stage his own again this year at the Waterville Opera House and no one should doubt that it is a contender. 2006 The Red Shoes - Michael D. Wyly Andrei’s ballet captures the whole ballet culture. It carries the art-imitating-life in a way so moving it is impossible not to feel involved and to understand what it is to be impassioned with dance, this from beginning to end; but the final scene of the ballet is the most stunning. Also read review from Jim Kanak from the Seacoast Online. 2003 Nutcracker - Bangor Daily News "Andrei Bossov's adaptation of "The Nutcracker" this weekend was just right - sweet, spicy and altogether charming." Cinderella - Bangor Daily News "One expects great choreography from Andrei Bossov. . . Bossov delivered that choreography, set to Prokofiev’s score, last weekend as the Bossov Ballet Theater presented three shows of “Cinderella” at the elegant Waterville Opera House." Bolero, and Romeo & Juliet - Waterville "Waterville was treated to elegance and beauty as the Bossov Ballet Theatre performed a wonderful program at the Opera House on Saturday. Led by one of the world's most well-known artists, Andrei Petrovich Bossov, the company performed four pieces inspired by the music of Ravel and Tchaikovsky." Dance Magazine - 01/2008 "There's an unlikely whiff of St. Petersburg, Russia, in the tiny town of Pittsfield, Maine," begins Lisa Rinehart in her article, A Jewel Glistens in Maine, part of the 2008 Summer Study Guide in the January 2008 edition of Dance Magazine (Page 128). National Public Radio - 04/22/2007 "Pittsfield, Maine, is an unlikely place for world-class ballet, but then Col. Michael Wyly is not the guy you would expect to start a ballet company. The retired Marine commanding officer wanted to make his young daughter's dreams come true, so he lured retired Russian ballet star Andrei Bossov to rural Maine." Christian Science Monitor - 03/08/2007 "A unique pas de deux: A Soviet ballet star and a medaled ex-marine run a very intense dance school in rural Maine."
