Cipollino - T0279746973This ballet enchants you from its very first minute. The harmony of the melodic and ear-catching music by Karen Khachaturian, bright sets and costumes by Valery Leventhal and vivid choreography by Genrikh Mayorov, perfect both for children and for grown-ups, made it a real blockbuster. In London, an extra element is added: specially for the noisy auditorium of chattering youngsters a narrator will deliver the storyline and introduce the characters. The fairy-tale story by Italian author Gianni Rodari tells of the adventures of the Little Onion boy (in Italian, Cipollino), who fights the unjust treatment of his fellow vegetable folk (his little girlfriend Radish, old Mr Pumpkin, handyman Master Grape) by the fruit “aristocracy” (foppish Prince Lemon, martinet Signor Tomato and Countesses Cherries). Even though the ballet was created especially for young people, it never lacks “serious” choreography of classical ballet. The principals of the Mikhailovsky Ballet really enjoy themselves turning from Siegfrieds and Odettes into ‘vegetables’ and ‘fruits’. The rhythms of dance, the portrayal and humour of the characters and the exceptional performances will keep everyone enthralled. Please note: there are no surtitles in this productionMusic Karen Khachaturian. Choreographer Genrikh Mayorov. Lyrics Gennady Rykhlov (edited by Genrikh Mayorov after the fairy tale by Gianni Rodari). Design Valery Leventhal. Costume Valery Leventhal. | |

Triple Bill - T691590614An exhilarating performance showing the talents of the Mikhailovsky dancers, it was greeted with countless curtain calls and critical appreciation when they made their London debut in July 2008. This season the Triple Bill programme contains Halte de Cavalerie (Cavalry Halt) by Marius Petipa, giving the audience a second chance to see the classic gem created in 1896 to music by Ivan Armsheimer, and a new piece created especially for the Mikhailovsky Ballet by Viacheslav Samodurov to music by Domenico Scarlatti. The Divertissements will crown the programme. They include Asaf Messerer’s thrilling pas de deux Spring Waters to the music of Sergei Rachmaninov, staged by Mikhail Messerer and a pas de deux from the Mikhailovsky’s production of Spartacus choreographed by Georgy Kovtun. It is a great opportunity to see both contemporary and classical ballets performed by true virtuosi. Please note: there are no surtitles in this production | |
