A new version of the classical ballet «Romeo and Juliet» on the stage of the Mikhailovsky Theater!
As part of the Mikhailovsky Theater's autumn season, the ballet «Romeo and Juliet» will be shown, which will definitely become one of the main events of this autumn. Enjoy the beautiful movements of dancers performed by the best ballet artists of Russia on the stage of the Mikhailovsky Theater on October 18-19.
The ballet «Romeo and Juliet» is one of the most famous and recognizable works in the history of classical ballet. His first productions made a splash in ballet circles and immediately became a model for the modernization of classical choreography. For the first time, Juliet was performed by Galina Ulanova, who, with her unique performances, aroused the true admiration of the audience. The ballet staged by Leonid Lavrovsky became the standard for all subsequent versions.
The famous English version of the ballet was staged by Kenneth Macmillan in 1965. In the roles of Romeo and Juliet, Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fontaine took the stage, thanks to which this version became undoubtedly a cult. However, it is worth noting that Macmillan's choreography is an almost exact repetition of Lavrovsky's version.
The Novosibirsk version of the ballet, staged by Oleg Vinogradov in 1965, brought originality to these famous pages of history. Original choreographic solutions and unusual stage images will not leave any viewer indifferent.
And already in 2008, the Mikhailovsky Theater presents its new version of the ballet «Romeo and Juliet» by Oleg Vinogradov. Come and enjoy this stunning production, which combines the best elements of previous versions, adding a modern accent.
