Perscitaten:
Trouw, 01-10-2007
Sander Hiskemuller over Van Manens Black Cake: In de met alcohol doordrenkte apotheose wist alleen een geestige Larissa Lezhnina te overtuigen.

Ballet 2000, 31 mei 2007
Marc Haegeman on La Bayadère: With Larissa Lezhnina, Artem Yachmennikov and Ji-Young Kim as the leading trio, Dutch National came about as close to a St. Petersburg-schooled performance it will ever get.

De absolute ster van de avond: Larissa Lezhnina in de rol van Aurora. Ze straalt zoveel kracht, schoonheid en vrijheid uit, dat ze in haar eentje met gemak het hele toneel van Het Muziektheater vult. (Haarlems Dagblad over The Sleeping Beauty)

Larissa Lezhnina is one of my favorite dancers. And she is lovely in these clips! I did not know she's now with the Dutch National Ballet. Has she been with the company long?

Thank you for all of your wonderful videos of Het National Ballet. From what I see they are an amazing company of dancers. I hope they tour through the USA. I would love to see them.
