GG: I saw you in Romeo And Juliet on july tenth 2006. You were amazing! When you dance you have amazing technique and you have great feeling and emotions when you dance. Did you work for your technique or did it come naturally?
Diana:  Work for technique certainly first of all.
Bill: Just a note to say that I sqaw the Romeo & Juliet last night at the Met in NYC and it was one of my greatest nights at the ballet. Many, many thanks.
Diana:  Thank you.
Juliet T: Dear Ms. Vishneva, I have had the honor to watch all your performances this year at the ABT, and I would like to let you know that your dazzling techniques and amazing artistry always leave me in awe. I am not a ballerina myself though I have studied it for several years. Having two aunts who were ballerinas and having been introduced to ballet since I was four (Swan Lake was my first ballet), I am passionate about it. Each performance is inspiring in its own way, but I find your dancing the most moving, intense and brilliant of all. Whether it is the fragile Odette, or the ghostly Giselle, you breathe life into your characters and radiate on stage. I have been painting ballerinas for a while and most of my paintings are inspired by your dancing. While I was watching your Romeo and Juliet last night, I remembered your quote from Ballet Review, that in ballet you needed to find “a particular thing that allows me to know what I am doing with the role, not just to do it beautifully.” Such powerful words! As I watched your Juliet transforming from a young innocent maiden to a woman, as I saw the way you expressed her love for Romeo, and later her despair through your entire body from your feet to your fingertips, I knew that you must have found your secret in dancing. The balcony scene was a dream, and the death scene was heartbreaking. Three hours went by in a flash; I only wish it didn’t end so soon. It has been pure joy watching you dancing, and it will be an agony to wait an entire year to watch your performances again at the ABT (I hope you are coming back next summer). Finally, I remember having read from one of your interviews that you enjoy dancing more dramatic roles. I would like to ask you how you mentally prepare yourself for each role prior to the performance, and which role/s you enjoy dancing the most. Please allow me to express my gratitude to you for such beautiful performances, and wish you the best of luck. I cannot wait to see you on the Metropolitan Opera stage again, and I will do my best to get front row orchestra seats so I can bring you flowers to show my appreciation.
Diana:  Thank for understanding of ballet and such estimation.
Alexander: Hello again, I just wanted to say that your performance in Romeo and Juliet was absolutely beautiful. I was so drawn in that I forgot it was live. I only remembered at one part, and I hope you were not hurt. I wanted to get your autograph to give to my mother, she is a big fan of yours, but my friend was introducing me to Angel when you left. Do you know when you will be dancing at the MET again?
Diana:  Thank you. I shall dance in MET in May-June 2007
Julie: Ms. Vishneva, I was wondering if you were planning on coming to Chicago next fall to dance Swan Lake, do you know what day you are performing?
Diana:  November,1 it is possible
