ATTENDING a ballet is a magical event, an emotional and enchanting storytelling journey that will leave many feeling exhilarated, and this is what crowds should expect at the return of the Crown of the Russian Ballet to Johannesburg.
This ballet is presented by Edouard Miasnikov and the acclaimed international theatre company, the Royal Moscow Ballet, and will be at the Theatre of Marcellus at Emperors Palace on July 21 and 22.
The two-hour extravaganza will be led by chief choreographer and principal dancer Anatoly Emelianov and artistic director Anna Aleksidze.
The programme embraces Marius Petipa’s one-act ballet, the Paquita with music by Ludwig Minkus, and Anatoly Emelianov’s choreographic interpretation of the Firebird to the musical composition of Igor Stravinsky.
The Royal Moscow Ballet, which consists of graduates of the best Russian choreography, ballet and dance schools, premiered on August 12 in 2002 and it celebrates its 16th anniversary this year.
Over the years the company has created more than 20 modern and 15 classical ballets, which have been created by its founders, Emelianov and Aleksidze.
It has also successfully toured around the globe presenting more than a thousand performances.
Tickets for the show are available on Computicket from R200 to R350. https://online.computicket.com/web/event/crown_of_the_russian_ballet/1208125053/0/86371584
