It is our third day in China; in the evening is the dress rehearsal of Onegin. Today we want to extend a special thank you to our tour diary photographer Roman Novitzky who is taking the time to document our daily life here for all our fans at home and around the world, although he is dancing in two out of three performances here in Beijing: Prince Gremin on opening night and Onegin himself on Sunday night! Just as an example: during the general rehearsal he stood in the wings in costume and makeup whenever he wasn’t onstage himself to take these wonderful photos of his colleagues! So thank you so much, Roman!
