Marfa Fedorova is one of those charismatic, well-trained, talented ballerinas who you always notice on stage. In life, it is also impossible not to notice this smiling, bright, friendly girl. It would seem that she has everything to successfully dance leading roles, but, alas, other laws operate in theaters, so for 7 years Marfa was only a corps de ballet artist. The ballerina also often performed in leading roles, but in recent years - perhaps due to a conflict with the management - she lost most of her repertoire. Marfa had two options: to accept the situation or to disagree and decide on big changes. The artist chose the latter and moved to the Mikhailovsky Theater in St. Petersburg - to the position of soloist, which she had long deserved.
