On Tuesday 11/12/12 I saw the open rehearsal of the mixed program at the Kennedy Center. With the complimentary commentary headphones on I watched what was a run -through dress rehearsal for the mixed bill. Voices of Spring with Maria Kochetkova, Joan Boada was the next to last piece. The commentator said it was choreographed as an insertion in Die Fledermus, was 5 minutes, and a Soviet style virtuoso piece like Spring Waters. That 5 minutes felt like 30 seconds. I have seen Spring Waters and this is more like a constrained and genteel version.

Like a horse being held back. The performance was breathtaking. I've read that Kochetkova is tiny but on stage her lines/legs/feet and epaulment give the impression that she is tall.
