Director: Vyacheslav Samodurov
The Leonid Yakobson Ballet Theater invites viewers to a unique event at the Alexandrinsky Theater.
The premiere of Vyacheslav Samodurov's new ballet "598 Bars" will be a real discovery for fans of modern dance. The choreographer, inspired by the music of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, creates a work in which baroque music acquires new meanings, and corporality and spirituality find common ground.
No less exciting will be the showing of the one-act choreographic composition "Mischievous Ditties", which has already been awarded the "Golden Sofit" award as the best ballet performance. To the music of Rodion Shchedrin, Samodurov creates a daring and humorous dance polyphony, where the artists demonstrate their virtuosity.
The evening ends with a cycle of choreographic miniatures by Leonid Yakobson "Rodin". This cycle is considered one of the most perfect works of the twentieth century and includes seven restored miniatures, presented in the original concept of the choreographer.
The event will be held at one of the most prestigious venues in St. Petersburg - the Alexandrinsky Theater, which is famous for its history and excellent acoustics. To become a part of this unforgettable evening, you can buy tickets on our website.
