“The performer of Aurora, Vessela Vassileva, was like a refined statue of porcelain — tender, fragile, vulnerable, but at the same time technically well-prepared – high steps, light jumps and fast turns.”
Prof. Anelia Yaneva, Journal “Culture”

“The performer of the central party Vessela Vassileva dominated definitely among the artists. Miniature and tender, the young star of the Ballet Rousse built the complex dual character of Odette / Odile with credibility and impressive ease. The amazing high arabesques of Vessela Vassileva enhanced the sublime spirituality of her Odette.”
