Siberian love in British media

February 05, 2018

A touching video of NOVAT ballet soloist Nikolay Maltsev proposing marriage on stage to his partner, ballerina Kseniya Zakharova after «Romeo and Juliet» performance is going viral on the web.

A romantic story that happened on the stage of the Novosibirsk theatre in late January melted not only the hearts of people in the audience, who witnessed the dancer’s gallant move. Social web users in Russia and far beyond liked, commented and shared this video from NOVAT official source. This event was noted by a large number of Russian and foreign media outlets.

British Independent newspaper and BBC published articles about our soloists and shared our video on their web sites. In two days the video got more than a million views and the number keeps growing. ”We really like this story especially in these days, when so many terrible things are happening” – this is what BBC’s production editor Catherine Roberts wrote us.

Theatre’s company renews congratulations to Ksenia and Nikolay!
