The theater “Russian Ballet” has successfully conducted more than 50 tours worldwide to include Japan, France, Belgium, England, Ireland, Spain, USA, The Netherlands, Germany, Finland, Turkey, Estonia, Isle of Malta, and in other countries. The theater has participated in 10 international ballet festivals.Today the repertoire of the theater “Russian Ballet” includes such classical masterpieces as “Swan Lake”, “Sleeping Beauty”, “Nutcracker”, “Giselle”, “Paquita”, “Chopiniana”, “Don Quixote”, “The Walpurgis Night”, “La Bayadere” and The Gala Concert of ballet stars “The Golden Age of St.Petersburg ballet”.
-
The troupe of the theater “Russian Ballet” both corps de ballet and soloists are all graduates of the famed Vaganova Ballet Academy, the oldest ballet school in the world (founded in 1738).The Russian Ballet Theater perceives as its main mission the preservation of the authentic choreography of the Kirov (presently Mariinsky) Theater. Each ballet is performed in its original choreography.
In St. Petersburg for the last 18 years the theater “Russian Ballet” has performed on the stage of one of the best theaters in the world - the Imperial Hermitage Theater of the State Hermitage at 34 Dvortsovaya embankment. The Hermitage Theater was built in 1783-1786. The theater can seat only 250 people and cannot possibly accommodate everyone who would like to see the performances of this famous ballet company. Therefore, in 2006 the company started to perform on the stage of another beautiful and historic theater of St. Petersburg – the Palace Theater, nowadays the theater of Musical Comedy. The theater was built in 1799 (13 Italianskaya St.).
Thousands of ballet admirers from all over the world are coming to these beautiful theaters every year. It is a great honor for the troupe of the theater “Russian Ballet” to perform on the oldest stages in St. Petersburg.
