The first tour of the Leonid Yacobson Ballet to the historical Bolshoi Theatre since the 2022 hiatus began in the Russian capital on 28 July. We have 9 showings planned overall, including those of classical Russian masterpieces: Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, and Don Quixote. For opening our tour, however, we performed ballets by our Theatre’s founder, Leonid Yacobson.

Igor Bulytsyn’s Bruch. Suite has officially opened its run at the Bolshoi Drama Theatre. In his production, the Ekaterinburg-born young choreographer, who has already won a Golden Mask Award, blends together expressive music, profound emotion, and folkloric inspiration. The public will see more of this show in the upcoming season.

The winners of the Golden Mask National Award were honoured yesterday during an official ceremony, which was held outside of Moscow for the first time in the Award’s history, instead being hosted in Kazan, in the brand-new building of the Galiasgar Kamal Tatar State Academic Theatre.

Our Swan Lake production was attended by Mrs. Snježana Dodik, First Lady of Republika Srpska.

To mark the occasion, group photo with the performers was made on the stage after the show ended. The First Lady posed next to Alexandr Malich, Director of Alexandrinsky Theatre.
