Ballet pays tribute to great Russian composer

ROYAL Moscow Ballet returns to Durban for two shows only on Saturday, 10 March at 2pm and 6pm, with a programme paying tribute to great Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky.

In a country starved of professional ballet, the regular visits from dancers of the Royal Moscow Ballet are always a treat.

Act one features A Serenade for Strings – a one act ballet with choreography by Anatoly Emelianov, act two features the Black Pas de Deux from the ballet, Swan Lake, and a one act ballet Franceska Da Rimini which premieres in South Africa, also featuring choreography by Anatoly Emelianov.
