"The most memorable performance was Nina Ananiashvili’s in Mozartiana, staged by Farrell on dancers from the Bolshoi. Ananiashvili is an extraordinary technician with an emotive power that serves her well in nineteenth-century classics. In Mozartiana, with no narrative or persona to work with, she was even more eloquent - projecting states of being as intense and ephemeral as summer weather - than she is as Odette or Giselle. This was the freest and most fully resolved work I’ve seen from her...." - Tobi Tobias, New York Magazine, October 9, 2000.

"...So for heaven’s sake hold on to your regular guest artist, Nina Ananiashvili; her crystal clear technique is joined to a wonderful musical quality. No, Ananiashvili is not "like" Margot Fonteyn, but she brings her own equivalent of the wholeness, the harmony and the radiance which Fonteyn used to have. She certainly does not neglect the character: pathos, fun and romance all shine in her dancing." - John Percival, The Times, December 29, 1992.

"....Bolshoi ballerina Nina Ananiashvili was the eponymous waif last Monday, her long limbs and delicate features begging for sympathy. Though she occasionally found the furniture a problem, Ashton’s steps flowed like a dream." - Jeffrey Taylor, Mail On Sunday, January 3, 1993.
