Bolshoi director ready to return to work

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 15 September 2013 | 20.48

THE artistic director of Moscow's world-renowned Bolshoi Ballet has told a Russian television station that he feels fit to return to work, eight months after an acid attack that nearly blinded him.

"I see enough now to feel comfortable," Sergei Filin, 42, who still wears sunglasses to protect his eyes after months of treatments in Aachen, Germany, said on Sunday.

Now that he's back in Moscow, he said he was prepared to return to work, just as the ballet prepares to start its new season on Monday.

Filin suffered injuries to his face, particularly his eyes, when an assailant threw acid at him on January 17. But he says his vision is now good enough to recognise what is happening on the stage. However, he says he still has multiple surgeries and long-term treatment ahead of him.

The clinic that treated Filin said he had 80 per cent vision capacity in his left eye, but that the healing process was ongoing in the right eye.

Three people have been arrested for the assault: the accused perpetrator and two alleged accomplices, one of whom is Bolshoi soloist Pavel Dmitrichenko.

Investigators said Dmitrichenko masterminded the attack. Media reports suggested the 29-year old dancer wanted to avenge his girlfriend, who had been passed over by Filin for important roles.
