The Mikhailovsky Theatre Ballet Company from St Petersburg. An 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.
