I'm confused. I thought Osipova and Vasiliev left the Bolshoi for the Mikhailovsky, not the Mariinsky?

Osipova & Vasiliev DID go to the Mikhailovsky, NOT the Mariinsky. The reporter need to correct this article.

So many mistakes in this article!Obraztsova was not a Prima at the Mariinsky. Osipova and Vasiliev did go to the Mikhailovsky.
Also, the descriptions of the Bolshoi and Mariinsky (although subjective), hardly sound fitting.
