The success of the ballet "The Fountain of Bakhchisarai" was stunning. The public - and not just the Leningrad specifically went to look at the duo of Galina Ulanova and Tatiana Vecheslova . Ulanova - Mary Vecheslova - Zarema . One - the embodiment of loyalty , the other - sizzling passion . Contemporaries enthusiastically discussing the play , and the criticism practiced in search of adjectives and superlatives .
The famous theater critic Nikolai Volkov ( the general public is mostly famous as the author of two volumes of Meyerhold , published " Academy " in the late 20 's) said: " Excellent Artist Vecheslova has a palette of feelings than Ulanova . She is able to not only love , but hate. One can hardly imagine a sword in the hands of Zarema Ulanova. And naturally compresses the dagger Vecheslova ! She still paints thickened , bright , intense. This is not a watercolor , and " oil ."
Only friends know how these were born in front of becoming a classic images. Ulanova recalled: " At rehearsals, " The Fountain of Bakhchisarai " I initially could not help but laugh when my merry Tanya gravely raised me dagger to kill me , Mary - Zarema opponent . We always feared that this laughter is not attacked me during the performance. So I lowered my eyes , not only for his role as needed - I tried not to see the faces of Tani. She had a marvelous gift of dance and acting . It captures his talent not only spectators, but actors us - we are always behind the scenes of the crowd to see her . "
