...casting of Onegin was designed to show off the Bolshoi's new crop of young singers. What is different about them? "Everything," says company spokesperson Svetlana Zavgorodnaya, with characteristically Russian fervor. "New emotions, new aesthetics, a new understanding of life!" Be that as it may, the young singers carry on the company's tradition of close ensemble performance. Vladimir Redkin as Onegin was an appropriately dashing cad.

Natalia Lashchenova, who turns 15 this week, is the prankster, tripping her teammates when the coaches are looking the other way. Svetlana Boginskaya, 15, - the tallest on the team (a towering 5 ft. 2 in.), is the most serious, often perched on a mat between exercises with her nose in a book. Olga Strazheva, 15, has an appetite for science fiction. Svetlana Baitova, 16, totes Jack, a stuffed puppy, wherever she goes...
