A Russian court has found Bolshoi ballet soloist Pavel Dmitrichenko guilty of organising an acid attack on the company's artistic director.
Two fellow defendants were also convicted of a part in the attack.
Sulphuric acid was thrown at Bolshoi artistic director Sergei Filin outside his Moscow flat in January, badly damaging his eyesight.
Dmitrichenko had admitted he wanted Mr Filin "roughed up" but had denied wanting acid thrown into his face.
The case has revealed bitter rivalries and infighting at the Bolshoi.
In another development, the sudden resignation of the Bolshoi's music director and chief conductor, Vasily Sinaisky, was announced without explanation.
Sinaisky made no comment on his departure, according to Russian media. He had been due to conduct Verdi's opera Don Carlos, which is premiering at the theatre in two weeks.
Twenty operationsDmitrichenko and co-defendants Yuri Zarutsky and Andrei Lipatov are expected to be sentenced shortly.
Prosecutors have called for the soloist to be jailed for nine years in a penal colony. They called for 10 years for Zarutsky, who admitted actually throwing the acid, and six for Lipatov, who drove Zarutsky to and from the scene of the attack.
Zarutsky said that throwing acid in Filin's face was his own idea. Lipatov said he had not known where he was taking the other man.
Mr Filin has had more than 20 operations to try to save his eyesight.
Following treatment in Germany, he returned to Moscow. Wearing dark glasses he gave evidence at the trial.
Since the incident on 17 January, the Bolshoi has undergone a number of changes, appointing a new director, Vladimir Urin, who told the BBC in July that the company faced "difficult challenges".
