Lovely Alena will skate her free program this season to No One Ever Called Me That from the soundtrack of Third Person by Dario Marianelli. It has a very mature, sophisticated, and somewhat somber sound.

I'm quite concerned about the short, but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. I think it could be a fun, different program for her if they back off on some of the obvious vampire imagery. I'd hate to see her be held back in PCS because of a program that isn't reflective of the maturity of her skating. She's also still a kid though, so it's a strange line to walk.I posted this in the edge but I am very excited about her LP. Think it could be a more mature version of Stella’s theme. Or at least I hope that’s the direction they go.
I am a bit more undecided about the SP. will have to see how the choreo changes for competition

Oh, I didn‘t expect news! And both programs revealed at once as well, too.
Well, I already love the choice for the FS. I think it will be great for her. I didn‘t know the music before but I think it could match her style of skating.
I‘m not too sold on the SP yet, though. I really liked the Vampire program as a exhibition, it was fun and different but it wasn‘t particularly refined, especially the costume. Alena can make everything look good but I think it might be best if they leave out the biting of the hand and the vampire teeth... I don‘t know, it just doesn‘t seem particularly like something that someone that‘s been known for her maturity in performance should choose. But I think the music in itself is fine and Alena clearly enjoys it so if Daniil makes some changes to the choreography and Olga gives her a great costume, I think it could work fine. Something dark suits her, it‘s just how they present it. We will have to see the programs first, of course, it‘s too early to judge now. Those are just things that immediately came to my mind when I heard the choices.
And l assume they haven’t reworked the vampire program yet. I’m sure if it’s not working as a competitive program they will change it (like they did for evgenia in the oly season).
I am glad she is expanding her artistic range, but I selfishly wanted her to do a tango again since adios noninos was such a masterpiece. My dream is for her to skate to Aranjuez as a LP but maybe next year.
There have been a few vampire programs from Russia over the years so Alena's SP is in keeping with tradition, in an updated, modern and entirely age appropriate way ... costume changes are warranted -- the cape will have to go since she uses it as a prop in the EX.. red and black colors are stunning.. her dress should be wonderful with a few refinements, the black tights in a lighter weight material, the satin looks a bit heavy... more intricate complex choreography will no doubt surface. Love the program and cannot wait to see it in competition
The LP music is beautiful .. her program choices are well balanced this year.
I really hope we are able to see the SP version of her vampire program at DOI in June! I guess she made a good impression on Eteri/Daniil when she performed at the show, because at that time she gave an interview that said her LP music was decided on but they weren’t sure about the SP yet. At first I was a bit let down from the choice because I wanted to see something new from Alena, but hopefully this means she will get another new EX for next season.
Yes... fingers crossed for an entirely new EX. Care to speculate what it might be? maybe she will provide a hint before long but I hope not really... I like a good surprise!
Well I am all for her continuing to expand her artistic range so any new ex program is good in my book! This off season feels so long. I hope Daniil will post short clips of their opening movements again this year so we will at least have something to hold us until September.
