An exhilarating performance showing the talents of the Mikhailovsky dancers, this programme was greeted with countless curtain calls and critical appreciation when they made their London debut in July 2008.
This season the Triple Bill programme includes Le Halte de cavalerie (Cavalry Halt) by Marius Petipa, giving the audience a second chance to see the light hearted classic gem created in 1896 to music by Ivan Armsheimer. A premiere created in 2010 especially for the Mikhailovsky Ballet by Viacheslav Samodurov to music by Domenico Scarlatti. The Divertissements will crown the programme. They include Asaf Messerer's breathtaking pas de deux Spring Waters to the music of Sergei Rachmaninov, staged by Mikhail Messerer and a pas de deux from Mikhailovsky's exuberant production of Spartacus choreographed by Georgy Kovtun.
It is a great opportunity to see both contemporary and classical ballets performed by true virtuosi.
Please note: there are no surtitles in this production. |
