Evgenia Obraztsova was a guest on the Russian TV show "Sati: Not Boring Classics" that aired in September 2014. This particular episode focused on the character of Violetta/Marguerite, who appears in both the opera La Traviata and Neumeier's ballet Lady of the Camelias (as well as Ashton's ballet Marguerite and Armand). This character originated in Alexander Dumas's novel Lady of the Camellias; it is based on a real-life 19th century courtesan named Alphonsine Plessis, later known as Marie du Plessis, who enchanted many of her contemporaries including Liszt and Dumas himself. In these excerpts Genia is shown answering questions about her thoughts on the character and her work in Neumeier's ballet.
