Description:

[The Mariinsky Theatre and its ballet company, which began in 1885, has premiered many masterpieces of Russian ballet and is also known for having produced world-famous ballet stars such as Anna Pavlova, Vaslav Nijinsky, and Rudolf Nureyev. The company's history is full of tradition and glory. The Mariinsky Theatre has been the venue for the world-famous Petipa and Ivanov version of "Swan Lake," which had a poor first performance, and is a popular program that is frequently performed as a special performance with a strong connection to the company. This time, "The Swan" will be danced by Ulyana Lopatkina, one of the most popular principal dancers at the Mariinsky. She is so popular that she is said to rival the legendary ballerina Galina Ulanova, and this "Swan Lake," danced by Lopatkina with Artistic Director Gergiev on the baton, is the definitive version of this gorgeous cast! This is a piece of magnificent Russian ballet that you can enjoy.
