In the year in which "Alla" graduated, the theaters of Russia were preparing to stage the ballet "Katerina," a tale drawn from Russian tsarist history. No sooner had "Alla" left the school than the role of Katerina was entrusted to her, and the beautiful dancer astonished the crowds of spectators with her measured dramatic expression, in a state of artistic perfection and exquisite harmony.
Great fame spread about her, and she appeared in several great Russian classical pieces.
In the piece (Fosst aux Cabres) "Alla Shelest" was able to rise to the summit, in her revolt against tyranny, her whole being crying out... Vengeance! Vengeance!...
She has performed several roles besides these, among them the role of the Georgian beauty in "Dram," and she also appeared in the role of the Spanish dancer in the piece "Don Quixote."
And modern Russian art knows brilliant faces worthy of consideration besides that of "Alla Shelest."

"Nawwar," among the months, is one of the dearest seasons on earth. In "Nawwar" the gardens drown in perfumes, and the nightingale perches upon the branches of the rose, emptying its heart into a throat whose song stretches on until morning...
In this season, The Woman's Voice has seen fit to adorn the front of its cover with a bouquet of these roses and buds... And The Woman's Voice has taken care that those sweet "buds" its readers know so well should not vanish from their eyes.
