Marianela Núñez Returns to Teatro Colón to Lead Onegin This Weekend

Her homecoming underscores recent OBE recognition.

Overview

  • The Royal Ballet prima ballerina is slated to dance the principal role in John Cranko’s Onegin at Teatro Colón on Friday, October 10 and Sunday, October 12.
  • She will be partnered by Jakob Feyferlik, a principal dancer with the Munich Ballet, for these engagements.
  • During a guest spot on Mario Pergolini’s Otro día perdido, a lighthearted exchange about trying a lift prompted a quick on-air retraction that drew laughter.
  • The program also aired a tribute from young dancers and teachers of Barrio Padre Mugica, who later met Núñez in the studio.
  • In media interviews she recalled moving to England in her mid-teens, joining the Royal Ballet at 16, and being honored this year by King Charles III with the Order of the British Empire.
