Kirov

City Center Main Stage
The world-renowned Kirov Ballet returns to New York for a three-week engagement in April 2008. The season will be presented by Ardani Artists in association with New York City Center. This will be first appearance of the Kirov Ballet and Orchestra at New York City Center.

During its three-week season, the 200-year-old Russian company, under the Artistic Direction of Valery Gergiev and Director of the Ballet Makhar Vaziev, will be performing a wide range of works by the choreographers and artists who have made the Kirov one of the world’s greatest ballet companies, as well as works by contemporary dance makers. The company’s rich classical repertoire includes works by Marius Petipa, Michel Fokine and George Balanchine and more modern works by William Forsythe. The Kirov Ballet – also known as Ballet Company of the Mariinsky Theatre of St. Petersburg, Russia – will bring some of its most acclaimed repertory classics: Petipa’s The Kingdom of Shadows from La Bayadere; Fokine’s Scheherazade and Chopiniana; Gorsky’s The Grand Pas de Deux from Don Quixote; Balanchine’s Rubies (an Excerpt from Jewels) and Ballet Imperial; as well as Forsythe’s Steptext.

Октавия, вы не могли бы выяснить, тут какая то ошибка - они имеют ввиду Шехерезаду, или Этюды?...

Интересную программу везут..гранд па из Пахиты?.. в Мариинки его давно не ставили в афишу...

SheherEtudes

А на сайте Дианы Вишневой 4 апреля стоит "Шехерезада"!Хотя я бы не отказался посмотреть и "ШехерЭтюды"

хорошая идея! только дату спектакля надо перенести на Apr 1, 2008

There is always the 1-st of April in Mariinsky nowaday. Daily fun
