On New Year's Eve, English National Ballet principals Thomas Edur and Agnes Oaks guested with the Finnish National Ballet in Ben Stevenon's Cinderella. They had spent about a week in Helsinki learning the ballet. (Edur and Oaks will again perform with the Estonian Ballet after the current ENB Coliseum season.)

On the same evening, Royal Ballet principals Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobborg also performed the Tchaikovksy Pas De Deux with the Finnish company in Helsinki.

By the way, I heard that there will be two Russian stars guesting with the ENB in their Royal Albert Hall Swan Lake season in June.
