Ivan’s year was eventful.
Luckily he recovered from a dangerous injury he suffered in December 2014 (thank you Muse! ).
He rocked in his debuts in Swan Lake, Ivan The Terrible, Sheherazade, Messerer’s Corsaire, Mozart and Salieri, besides bringing us all the bravura roles we love so much, as well as the gentle ones that some love even more.
