Tickets for the ballet "Brilliant Divertissement" at the Hermitage Theatre

On June 15, St. Petersburg's Hermitage Theatre will host a performance of the Brilliant Divertissement ballet based on miniatures by Leonid Yakobson.

Seeing the performances created by Leonid Yakobson today is great luck. They are very difficult to perform, and they can only be seen at the Leonid Yakobson Ballet Theatre, previously known as Choreographic Miniatures. On June 15, we'll see the miniatures from the legendary productions presented in 2023 under the title Brilliant Divertissement. The ballet includes several striking works by classical composers: Glinka, Saint-Saëns, Mozart, Shostakovich, Bellini, Prokofiev, and Saraste.

Influenced by his trip to Italy, Mikhail Glinka created his musical work "Brilliant Divertissement," inspired by the music of the balls of the time of Louis XIV. One of the key elements of the repertoire of Leonid Yakobson's troupe was the cycle Classicism-Romanticism, where the choreographer expressed his love for classical dance and his vision of the future of ballet. The one-act ballet Wedding Procession, inspired by the paintings of Marc Chagall and the music of Dmitri Shostakovich, the Cachucha dance, accompanied by an Andalusian Serenade - we'll see all these works on June 15. They impress with the precision and beauty of the movements, the plasticity, and how eloquently the plots of these works are told in the language of dance.

Tickets to the Brilliant Divertissement ballet are an opportunity to discover the world of creativity of this outstanding choreographer. Alas, Leonid Yakobson, who had a unique vision, did not find recognition in our country, although he had all the paths to world fame opened up before him.

In 1969, Leonid Yakobson founded his theater, where he could create his works outside the standard framework of classical dance. He created his ballets specifically for certain artists, such as Alla Shelest, Natalia Makarova, Alla Osipenko, and Valery Panov.

Today, the troupe of the Leonid Yakobson Ballet Theatre, under the direction of Andrian Fadeev, its current creative director, is actively working to restore the productions of this legendary choreographer.
